Please Post:

Just received via Interpress an article by Dalia Acosta on a Left Summit
in Havana which drew 200 participAnts from 100 "leftist Parties". I do
not know how accurate this report isand therefore I am trying to obtain
a document in english if possible on the conference or a summary of its
proceedings.
I find a number of things troubling .The post calls for a "modern day
version of socialism" This could mean almost anything. The
counterevolutionary "New Thinkers" called it Perestroika.It called for a
"new imgage"instead of "a single abstract model" Who ever advocated this
Certainly not the communist and Workers Party Bulletin.of the 1970's and
80's. Most troubling of all the word imperialism is not to be seen.Is
Mr. Manuel Monerido of Spain's CP a "euro-communist that sold out the
struggle for socialism?
There are many other disturbing questions.
