Barseb=E4ck & ultrareaction's phony"Marxist" Malackey
[Posted: 07.09.97]

Here in Sweden, the government and other political parties are
conspiring to close down and destroy the important, modern, en-
vironmental-friendly and perfectly well functioning nuclear
power plant at Barseb=E4ck, which produces 6% of all electricity
in this country. This is a fanatical, very serious attack
against the workers. It's a flagrant crime even according to
the country's bourgeois laws.

In several earlier postings, I've explained in what context
this attack must be seen - as part of a *warfare* by ultra-reac-
tion against the peoples of the world. Not least the main forces
of US imperialism are instigators internationally of this new
kind of war, "green" warfare, which has the purpose of main-
taining the brutal international system of oppression and ex-
ploitation.

One phenomenon which is particularly noteworthy in our time is
how the rulers of the world are utilizing some extreme lackeys
of theirs who're posing as "leftists", "Marxists", "revolutio-
naries" etc, as instruments against the peoples, against the
genuine revolutionary forces above all, in order to prevent or-
ganized resistance against themselves.

Precisely in the "green" warfare, these camouflaged lackeys
since long have played an important role. They often even have
spearheaded the reactionary attacks, trying to turn things up-
side-down and actually painting these attacks out as "progres-
sive actions", together with the openly-bourgeois media sowing
confusion among the people and perhaps fooling some sincere
would-be leftists into mistakenly supporting them.

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to make out, who among the
supporters of the "green" reactionary attacks are well-inten-
tioned persons who're just being led astray and who are actually
bourgeois-lackey assholes who're doing what they're doing
callously and on purpose.

One case in point is a person who during the last couple of
years very often has presented his views on many different mat-
ters, for instance to the other subscribers of the Marxism-Ge-
neral mailing list managed by the Spoon Collective (a forum I
can recommend; it's found at <http://jefferson.village.Virginia.
EDU/~spoons/>) and to readers of some newsgroups including
'swnet.politik', Robert Malecki, of Robertsfors, Sweden. He ori-
ginates from the USA but has lived here in this country for
some 10-15 years or more because of a conflict over the Vietnam
war with some other reactionaries in the USA, the main ruling
ones, who put him in jail and (he says at least) are likely to
do so again if he returns.

Although Bob Malecki is an adherent of reactionary anti-Marxist
Trotskyism and on several concrete questions in the past has
consistently supported the very worst forces among the bour-
geoisie, he on some others at least has seemed sincerely to
stand on the side of the people, and so I on my part on some
occasions even have defended him against certain attacks by
others. Some recent postings of his however show quite clearly
that this prolific writer *is* an utter bourgeois-lackey ass-
hole, whose supposedly "pro-worker" standpoints on some issues
are nothing but hypocrisy and camouflage.

Not least since he writes so much, he's useful as a negative
example, another example of how the arch-enemies of the people
work. He can function as a kind of skeleton in the classroom
corner. And yes, there are others of that kind too, such as that
miserable group in Germany Dr Sendepause & the Klasberries, the
old swindler in the UK Adolfo Olaechea and (Bob Malackey's "twin
soul") Ola Eriksson here in Sweden, just to mention a few, but
those today are all so relatively quiet and subdued, after
having received some suitable pastings in the recent past; the
Robertsfors reactionary lackey is up there shouting and shrie-
king and ranting quite openly in favour of ultra-reaction and
that's what's good about him.

If the Barseb=E4ck plant is to be defended, if important parts of
modern civilization are to be defended, if the reactionary
bourgeoisie is to be defeated, people *must* see whose interests
such persons as Bob Malackey are serving and must by no means
be taken in by their ingratiating hypocrisy.

The present attack against the Barseb=E4ck plant in Sweden and the
efforts, on the part of various forces among the people, to
repulse that attack, is a rather important struggle also inter-
nationally. Precisely that plant, situated in the south of
Sweden where this country connects to the rest of Europe, the
US imperialists and other reactionaries have been after for a
long time, staging several phony"popular" actions against it
back in the late 70s and later when this was no longer possible
going after it with vilification upon vilification in their
openly-reactionary media.

These sabotage plans obviously are important for ultra-reaction.
And not least Bob Malackey sees them as vital. In two recent
postings, he with fervour has supported them, even indicating
that they don't go far enough for his liking, and has spouted
out his venom against the actions in defence of the plant, in
particular also against those conclusions about his masters the
reactionary bourgeoisie that must be drawn from those plans.
Those postings by the Malackey are quite educating.

The context is the following:

On 28.08, the leader of the conservative opposition party
in Sweden, Bildt, in a programmatic speech pointedly omitted all
mention of the social-democratic government's planned giant
sabotage to destroy that plant (cost: some $5-7bn, to be paid
by the people of course), thus making himself into an accessory
of that sabotage action. I attacked this with postings in Swe-
dish and English on 30.08, "What Bildt criminally was silent on:
BARSEB=C4CK!", i.a. drawing the obvious conclusions: 

"... it" (that *silence* now on the part of the leader of a
bourgeois party that in the past had seemed at least in part to
*oppose* the "green" warfare by the main reactionaries) "must
make clear to the great majority of people that IT'S THEY
THEMSELVES WHO MUST INTERVENE. Quite directly now in order to
SAVE BARSEB=C4CK. And also CONCERNING THE VITAL QUESTIONS OF
SOCIETY IN GENERAL." And further:  

"Society in Sweden is in the hands of some different groups of
criminal mafias, of which the one is only somewhat less extreme-
ly bad than the other on the one point and the other perhaps is
a little less extremely bad on the other. The same is the case
with society internationally."...."The thing is that ALL these
mafias must be put AWAY from power. The peoples in all countries
must unite in order to effect this."

I also wrote, ending my posting:

'Of course, all efforts by adherents of the (m) party to change
these standpoints of that party "of theirs" of *the blackest
medieval reaction* into something less appalling should be sup-
ported. And so should all similar efforts on the part of ad-
herents of (s), (c), (v) etc. But it must also be pointed out
that, because of the nature of these parties, such strivings are
not much for the general public to put their trust in. PEOPLE
IN GENERAL MUST INTERVENE THEMSELVES, IN OTHER WAYS.

SAVE BARSEB=C4CK!'

It was against this that the Malackey wrote two virulent at-
tacks, the second after I had already replied to and counter-
attacked the first. Absurdly and trying to turn things upside-
down, he entitled both his postings "Rolf's love affair[!] with
Carl Bildt" - the person whom I'd precisely pointed out was
making himself into an accessary to conspiracy to commit aggra-
vated sabotage.

For Bob Malackey, even that fanatical sabotage plan doesn't go
far enough! He said in his posting 1, on 30.08, that Barseb=E4ck,
that big plant producing 8-9 billions of kWh annually, was just

>one lousy[!!] atomic power plant

This absolutely was "nothing" to make a fuss about, according to
Malackey; whether or not the industries here are sabotaged one
by one by the reactionaries, that's "no business" of the people!

When, according to him, should one react? If not 6% of all elec-
trycity is threatened but 20%, 50%, 100%? At what point would
he like the (openly-appearing) reactionaries *not* to have carte
blanche any more?

This person also pretends, in the same posting and in his second
one too, to "be concerned about" the dismantling of the welfare
systems in Sweden and other countries. Does he think people are
so stupid as not too see that it's precisely the systematic des-
truction of industry in these countries that above all lies be-
hind and is connected with this dismantling?

When Bob Malackey ridiculously, about my posting, writes:

>Our list Maoist is begging the conservative anti-worker,
>racist, anti-union, and anti-communist party of Carl Bildt to
>save Barseb=E4ck,

one must wonder why. Does he think people cannot read? (Cf what
I did write, as quoted above.) There's desperation behind this
apparent stupidity. What he makes such efforts to cover up is
the fact that on this big sabotage issue, he the phony"Marxist",
on the one hand, and Bildt the conservative, on the other, ba-
siaccly *are on the same side*. He also wants people to believe
that his own, Malackey's, whole standpoint in general is "not"
virulently anti-worker and anti-communist. But that's precisely
what it is.

Fighting against the reactionary sabotage and destruction of
industry, Bob Malackey says, in his posting 2, is "rightism"[!!]
while the flagrant *support* of these things by himself and
other phony"Marxist" assholes of course is "revolutionary":

>Actually your letter is a great example of pressuring Bildts
>party from the right!

Why he calls my posting "a letter" I cannot tell - except that
it indicates he'd like me to say the things I do only in private
and not in public.

The reactionary asshole also knows quite well of course how
angry people in general here in Sweden are about this sabotage
plan of the bourgeoisie's; despite all the massive misinforma-
tion by the media since 20-25 years back, the government's re-
actionary plan is opposed by some 70-80% of the people in Sweden
as a whole and at least 90% here in the province of Scania where
the Barseb=E4ck plant is situated and where I and a few friends
have been disseminating information on the issues of the "green"
warfare since several years back. He knows that this anger may,
and should, turn on people of his kind too, now and even more
in the future: In this field, the phony"Marxist" swindlers do
have quite a lot on their consciences already. So he writes:

>our left over Maoists looking for a cause,

meaning, again: "Shut up about this sabotage plan"!

Which I of course bloody well will not. He repeats this in his
posting 2 with:

>The same basic methodology based on single issuism and almost
>"conspiracy" theory around atomic power,

even trying to tell people in Sweden and elsewhere that there is
"no" conspiracy going on just now against that particular plant,
although everybody can clearly see it, and now felling crocodile
tears over "single issuism", since the time is long past since
that day when his asshole Trotskyite etc predecessors could
mount their reactionary offensive precisely on this issue; now
people to a large extent are on to the bastards on this, which
is at least one small political advance in recent years.

And why is he calling the Marxists "Maoists"? The Trotskyite-
bourgeois Malackey also says

>Maoism is dead..Good!,

meaning that "Marxism is dead and this is good". He actually
directly refers to that question which, from some 30 years ago
and onwards, contained such an important dividing-line beteween
revisionism and Marxism, between phony"Marxist" swindlers and
lackeys of the bourgeoisie, on the one hand, and genuine revo-
lutionaries, on the other, the question of Soviet social-impe-
rialism, writing in his posting 2:

>Long gone are the great days of those progressive Swedes in
>regards to those horrible Social imperialists in the former
>Soviet Union

Like his soul-mate here in Sweden Ola Eriksson, the Malackey
always loved ultra-reactionary Soviet social-imperialism just
as much as he hated modern electricity production. He's earlier
written about how "wrong" it is for that country of the second
world, Sweden, to keep a military defence against "those hor-
rible Americans and Russians", as he referred to his friends
the reactionary "world police" superpower governments in the
ex-Soviet Union and the USA as, not of course distinguishing
them from the people in those countries.

>From that time on when socialism was overthrown in the Soviet
Union and a bourgeois, even fascist, regime was installed in
that country, as Mao Zedong pointed out some 30 years ago,
was it possible for any person to be a Marxist and *not* see
the obvious fact of that degeneration, *not* basically agree
with Mao Zedong's correct criticism of and attack against it?

Of course not. The Soviet revisionists themselves and most of
their old-time bourgeois partners and competetitors still
tried to pass Khrushchev, Brezhnev etc off as "Marxists" while
calling the real Marxists "Maoists", as if these had some other
ideology than precisely Marxism.

But of course, from that time on, all Marxists *were* Mao Zedong
adherents - and they pointed out too that their ideology was
Marxism-Leninism, which had been *betrayed* by the then Soviet
leaders.

The adherents of that bourgeois ideology, Trotskyism, which
Bob Malackey supports too, never "wanted to see" that capitalism
had been restored in the Soviet Union. When the brutal social-
imperialism of that country demonstrated itself in its genoci-
dal aggression against Afghanistan however, some Trotskyites
at least did protest against that crime. Not so the Malackey.

He always has defended that aggression and keeps defending it,
knowing quite well that it meant that:

=A4 1.5 million Afghans were killed
=A4 5-6 million were forced to leave the country - the biggest
  refugee cathastrophy in our time - and 1 million more forced
  to leave their homes, to become refugees in Afghanistan itself
=A4 7000 villages were annihilated and 5000 more seriously damaged
=A4 between 10 million (UN estimate) and 60 million (other esti-
  mates)  mines were laid throughout the country by the invaders
=A4 these mines have so far caused 200 000 deaths and 400 000
  maimings; they continue today to take a heavy toll and several
  decades will be required for their removal
=A4 large parts of the vital and scarce forests were systemati-
  cally destroyed by the Soviet forces
=A4 the infrastructure and the fields for agriculture were des-
  troyed to a great extent

(as quoted from a report by the united-front Swedish Afghanistan
Committe in my "UNITE! Info #19en" of 09.10.96)

In the light of this, one may indeed understand why this person
is talking about the reactionaries' planned destruction of the
Barseb=E4ck plant in this country as "bah, nothing - just *one
lousy* atomic power plant".

But let me tell you, Bob reactionary-Malackey, that I and some
other people don't intend to let us be "handled" by you and your
big friends in the way that - under other circumstances - the
Afghan people was, if we can help it in any way, and that I
on my part intend to mobilise so-called ordinary people against
it, first of all. And if we should have the luck too that some
Bildt conservative openly-bourgeois or perhaps even some mullahs
or other might be going over to our side instead of being on
yours, I shall gladly initiate what you call "love affairs"
with them all - meaning, alliances on certain points while
keeping the independence of those forces which really represent
the proletariat - if they'll contribute in some small way
towards punching your and your ultra-reactionary masters' noses.

As for finishing you miserable bastards off completely, that
will have to be done by the peoples of the whole world.

And it's no use trying to shriek out "no violence in the wor-
kers' movement" either, Malackey, since you, the propagandist of
such "workers' movements" as the Soviet genocide in Afghanistan
and the conspiracy of your friend Greenie Persson and other
crooks here and e.g. in the USA against the industri (e.g.) in
Sweden, are *no* bloody part of any workers' movement at all but
just precisely an asshole lackey of ultra-reaction.
