I would hope as well that you agree with me when I say that typing 
messages on the Net can not substitute for political activism. I believe 
that, in the course of working-class struggles, those who are not serious 
about politics and history will be sorted out from those who are. I wonder 
how many people on this l*st have experience with, say, trade union 
struggles? Would they have the gall to walk into a union meeting and 
denounce fellow workers with the same vigor and apolitical nature as 
some have done on this l*st? Would they call their fellow workers "cops", 
"agents of US imperialism", "FBI agents" etc? I wonder: what would that 
would do to their own credibility? I wonder: how would their co-workers 
respond?
