Because Marxist are not interested in liberal guilty concious trips.

Why do you bring garbage like this to the list Chris? It has about as much 
to do with politics as the salvation army. The only difference is that the 
Salvation army is probably more effective. 

I think perhaps any serious Christmas message from Marxists would be calling 
for the victory of the Korean Workers in the struggle against the 
reactionary parlimentry coup that took place recently which cut the legs out 
>from under the trade union movement. Or in the third world, the Nigerian oil 
workers taking over the oil fields and demanding that unlimited supply of 
medicine and food be shipped to the Ruandian crisis and at the same time 
calling for and expropriation of the World Bank by western workers. Now that 
would be a real message of solidarity worth while supporting. Or why not a 
victory to the MRTA in the ambassy crisis.

Or a campaign driven by a trade union for solidarity with a particular cause 
would be better then giving money to these liberal types. In fact any 
campaign around solidarity with a strike or what ever would be better then 
this anti-communist crap.

There are probably hundreds of good examples of what real poor and working 
class solidarity could give. But to publish anti-communist garbage about 
poor Chinese women is in fact a lead in imperialist war against the Chinese 
deformed workers state.  But As to whether it is concious or unconcious fake 
left liberal solidarity which even the imperialists would gladly donate 
makes me honestly want to puke.

Warm Regards
