Dear Rosa:

No, I didn't think you would be in the academy. Frankly, I thought you 
were ...[excuse me] ... deceased.

As for the rest of what you have written above, I agree. I also knew all 
along that if you were to re-join us, you would oppose those "Marxists" 
who defend the muss murder of workers, peasants, leftists. Did anyone 
tell you yet about Stalin? ... Mao? ... Pol Pot? ... Hoxfa. Believe it or 
not, there are actually people on this l'st who defend those 
"revolutionaries."  Did you hear about Hitler, Mussilini, Franco, 
Pinochet? Talk to Louis P. He might be able to send you old posts about 
them. [On the other hand, I think your personalities and politics might 
clash].

Did you see the Polish-made movie about your life? It was really quite 
good. You were a brilliant speaker and agitator -- and a damn good 
theoretician as well (even if I do disagree with some of your writings on 
political economy). What do you think about Henryk Grossmann and Paul 
Mattick? (there's this guy named Rakesh on this l'st who likes to refer 
to their writings). Of course, most of all, you were a revolutionary. I'm 
pleased to see that has not changed.

If you ever make it to New York City, please let me know. I'd love to 
show you some sights. For instance, there are some anarchists and 
squatters who would love to talk to you. I might even be able to arrange 
for you to talk to an assembly of autoworkers in New Jersey.   

Would you like to be the moderator of this l'st? We need HELP.

LONG LIVE ROSA LUXEMBURG!

Comradely,

Jerry
