A very strange "Mao Zedong adherent", that Olaechea. He calls the
1989-1991 downfall of the ultra-reactionary social-imperialist
regime in the Soviet Union and its colonial empire in Eastern
Europe "an overt triumph of reaction(!!) in that part of the
world."

In reality, there was no darker reaction in that part of the
world than precisely the social-imperialist regime. Mao Zedong
back in 1964 pointed out that it had the same character as
the Hitlerite former regime in Germany. But Olaechea laments
that regime's "capitulation"! In reality, its downfall was a
*quite good thing* for the peoples of the world - regardless of
the fact that its demise also meant economic misery locally.

No wonder that he accepts with no qualms that anti-Mao
symbolism that characterizes the very homepage of the
"LeninList", showing the heads of Marx and Lenin but *not*
that of Mao Zedong, no wonder that he completely combines
with openly pro-social-imperialist elements like Jim Hillier
and Ola Eriksson against Marxism. And the Detcom Jaysuit
follows suit.
