Subject: SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES?  IN RESPONSE TO HANS'S REQUEST


Comrades:  We have won a famous victory  The postings of despair and idiotic
provocations of our die hard enemies, are but the black vomit of those who
have totally failed in a very public manner.

We have established the complete and total validity of our theses and tested
them in practise to our own satisfaction.  All the bravado and threats of
the enemies of Marxism, is just that!  They canmot, even if they wish and
"move heaven and earth", get rid of us while we remain united and alert.
Empty threat will get them nowhere fast!

Their clumsy attacks against our leaders and against the revolution are now
only contributing and serving to confirm in sharper relief the validity of
our words of denounciations.  The coup'd etat of the black fascists received
merely a pitiful response even from within their own puny ranks, and was
written of by the administration of the list (not Lisa!!!! - she is just a
braggart like the rest of them), proving that everything they were saying is
absolute rubbish.  
They are no more comoderators than the least person in this list. As always
they have proven to be self-appointed tyrants, and nothing more!

The middle forces are beginning to take in all that has transpired.  There a
number of incontrovertible facts:

Political careerists have been thoroughly exposed and phoney reputations lay
in tatters, we have indeed continued with the Cultural Revolution and taken
it to where it never had before encroached, into Cyberspace.  There, in that
most rarified height of human technical achievement to date, we have planted
the glorious red banner of the revolution of the opressed and exploited
masses, signaling an important landmark in this period of the strategic
offensive of the world proletrain revolution, implementing Marxist
counterattack and exposure of the bourgeois impostors acting as the special
detachment of reaction among the ranks of the Marxists intellectuals.

Now we should undertake some consolidation work in preparation for further
advance. No war can we won in one single go. We have to firm up our
reputation among the democrats in this list and establish firm relations of
mutual respect and understanding with them. We must also bring back this
experience in the heights to the widest masses. 

There are some honest intellectuals who are already breaking from under the
influence of the handful of vulgar cut-throats we have beaten so soundly.
They are now beginning to see the righteousness of our indictments against
the enemies of the revolution, and to perceive how the defense of their own
liberties is inseparably bound with that of the success of the proletarian
vanguard.

Hans has written a request for a halt in the intensity of our actions in
order to allow the bulk of the list a better perspective of events.  I agree
that a step of this nature is necessary and will have a positive effect, in
no way affecting our interest or those of the legitimate subscribers of this
list. 

I do not think, however, that the concrete proposal of imposing self
limitations in postings is a viable one, as our enemies are proving in
practice.  

However, we can - because of our interests and at our own time and
initiative - indeed halt somehow our advance so as to let the democrats have
more of the stage to play their role and defend liberty with their own
efforts. The experience they will acquire in this struggle can only dispose
them better towards our points of view and win genuine, and not sham,
respect for the revolution. Therefore we should give them more room in the
stage of this list and restrain ourselves by not answering any more silly
provocations and rantings of despair at all.  The beaten ones are only
ghosts from the past now. No one needs listen to them at all.

We must also raise the theoretical level of our contributions.  Our enemies
are fallen, we shall hold them firmly to the ground with arguments if they
would but try to raise again in that field of action, but we should also
treat them humanely if they keep their peace.  

We can also let them speak freely, even if they continue with their
falsifications and slanders, since no one apart of their own people could
possible believe them now. And this situation will remain on the main like
this, at least for a few days or even weeks.

A famous victory is won. The struggle, however, is not over, and we shall
not for a moment relax our vigilance!  On the contrary, we should redouble
our efforts to popularise among the masses that have no access to this media
the events that have unfolded here in the last few days.  We are here to
stay! and we should declare it clearly. Moreover, I am sure more of us will
come to learn for themselves in this great new school of proletrain
ideology, of Marxism!.  And this time, it can be said: This list can now be
true to the name it bears. This list, has stood up!

That is my opinion 


Adolfo
