Date: Tue, 17 Feb 1998 19:00:50 +0100 (MET) From: rolf.martens-AT-mailbox.swipnet.se (Rolf Martens) Subject: M-G: Siege Bulletin from Rolf M., Tue 17.02.98 Siege Bulletin from Rolf M., Tue 17.02.98 (To besieged Marxism-General mailing list [M-G], see http:// jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU/~spoons/, and i.a. newsgroup 'alt.society.revolution'. Since 16.01.98, subscribers to this earlier open and important list are limited to max 1 posting of max 10 kB a day, in contravention of the list's charter. To pro- test against these bourgeois-reactionary restrictions, send mail to <majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu>. Points in brief:) 01. It obviously is something quite nasty that the US and other imperialists are brewing together (directly) against Iraq, indirectly against other countries and peoples in the Middle East and in the whole world. It's good to se protests against it coming from several directions. 02. A reply of mine to the latest posting by Dr Sendepause & the Klasberries, "NEUE EINHEIT on 'RIM'", of 06.02, still is pending. 03. The recent apparence again of that particular writer, Chris Burford, UK, is comforting in a particular way. Someone a while ago feared that I perhaps had scared him away last December and that he might be replaced by someone smarter. Hm, would they be able to do that? It's probably not all that easy to teach some new recruits all that stuff which this person does know, the one about whom I wrote in a 5-part-posting on 30.06.96: "Why do I think Chris is a cop?". 04. On Marxism-Intro, a list to which I posted some things for the first time some days ago, there have been a couple of interesting discussions, i.a. on Mao Zedong and on how life would be like under hoped-for future communism. Will people really be able to "go into the stores and just *grab* things", and will everybody be "working with smiles of their faces" - as some of us agreed was a fair rendering of the watchword "To each according to his needs, from each accor- ding to his ability" - not all were quite certain this would eventually come to pass, even in the more distant future. I on my part do think it's likely. END, Tue 17.02.98 [Post measured by me at 2.2 kB] --- from list marxism-general-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
