Rolf Martens is a misanthropic, anti-party, individualist and big-time
idealist.

At least in his series of six postings to detcom (Jay),
he FINALLY admits that he is against Hua Guofeng too. That is
to say Rolf Martens is on written record opposing all options
for leadership in 1976 after Mao died.

What does that mean?
1. He is taking up the CIA's agenda saying that the Communist
Party of China should not rule China. It had no fit leaders according
to Rolf Martens.

2. He hates the Chinese masses who produced nothing worth his
respect once Mao died.

His position on communism in the West is identical.

1. Like his pretended worship of a dead man named Mao,
Rolf M. pretends to worship a communist group of the 1970s
that none has matched since that time according to him.

2. Thus he works outside any party. He is anti-party
and individualist.

For Rolf Martens to criticize Trotskyists gives Maoism
a bad name. Rolf Martens and Trotskyists have the same
idealist method of comparing ideas to concrete reality
instead of realities with realities. He, the Trotskyists,
the Christians and all other thorough-going idealists
find the humyn species lacking, so they attack its
most advanced elements and hold them back. Since the
revolution is not born perfect, these idealists attack
it as "Stalinist" in the case of Trotskyists
and not "Maoist" in the case of Rolf Martens.
The method is the same--not to take sides with the
most progressive thing that actually exists, but to criticize
any and everything for not meeting one individual's
fruitless preferences.

For the record, MIM is not opposed to purges from 
some cyber-lists. We at MIM were only involved
in CyberSwamp (Leninlist) in June. We didn't care about
it otherwise for a brief time. Throwing out Rolf Martens
is the same thing as throwing out Trotskyism. It's the
same underlying splintering methods of idealism at work,
with the only difference being Rolf Martens calls himself
a Maoist in a non-party of one.
