Welcome to hell Michael...And if you think thaxis or these lists are screwed 
up with flame wars and wackos you should see Usenet..

Anyhow I think we should rely on the "you have nothing to lose bit your chains"
principle. Because the first that you imply is connected to state power and 
transitional societies and the future communist society. We are certainly 
not there yet and the human material is tainted to say the least by the 
present society and the political leadership that has evolved in the last 
decades..

Naturally Trotskyists believe in "democratic centralism" which we believes 
is the necessary tool to build a combat party of action..But the lists are 
not a party nor the embryos of a new society...

Warm Regards
