Now could you find some time to engage me on the organizational question I raised the other day? I regard you as a serious political figure, while I am a mere clown given to emotional tirades. So I hope you are not above having a discussion with me. I have labeled your party-building model a Zinovievist cariacature of Lenin's Bolshevik Party. You, by implication, are the Lenin and Trotsky of today in your own eyes since you stand at the head of the nucleus of a vanguard party. The nucleus exists in the form of your politically correct program. All that needs to be done is to add material and that eensy-teensy group of Marxist intellectuals will be in a position to topple US capitalism. This model is complete bullshit, isn't it. Oh, excuse me. I meant to say "complete nonsense." This would be a swell debate. I can never find a "Marxist-Leninist" willing to examine this whole question with me. Pretty please, won't you step forward. I promise to be a gentleman. --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
