Aldolfo is beginning to twitch. Unable to answer the reasons why he and the 
PCP see the liberal wing of the Peruvian wing of the bourgeoisie as 
potential allies in their struggle against "imperialism". He turns to name 
calling. However there is a little bit of truth in the above. The stuff 
about malecki having some not "workerist" but worker who mistrusts the so 
called "marxists" on this list.THis is a sound and correct attitute from 
workers. 

THere is a good reason for this. When "marxists" like Aldolfo tell us that a 
wing of the Peruvian bougeoisie are our potential "friends" in the struggle 
against "imperialism", a worker should immediately watch his back.Because 
for every worker the simple truth is that the main enemy is at home...

Does the above mean that you are disappointed that your potential allie of 
liberals has not picked up the gun yet or are you just waiting for help from 
your allies in Sweden like Marten who is busy lining up the anti 
-imperialist swede and german bourgeoisie?

If the working class in Peru was taking matters into their "own" hands as 
you say, then why are you saying it is the peasantry who make up the central 
cadre of the PCP? Why are you trying to tie the working class to part of the 
Peruvian bougeoisie instead of spreading the revolution to the working class 
throughout Latin America.
And the reliable millions-is that anybody willing to swallow the "peoples war"
maoist menshevik ideas of the popular front?

In reality, you are in fact no different then the numerous popular fronts in 
history that have turned up and ultimitely failed the proletariat. Perhaps 
only a little more militant pick up the gun rhetoric! But it is not just 
guns that make revolution. It is in fact classes. And the PCP line of a 
multi-class united front against "imperialism" is just third world 
menshevism! Sorry but this has nothing to do with Leninism.

The above sounds like a split! Your are right though differences should be 
fought out to the end. Unfortunately the differences between Aldolfo and the 
Avakianites has nothing to do with Leninism either. All wings of maoist 
menshevism support blocks and alliances with the deadly enemies of the 
proletariat! So in fact the two line struggle appears to be just another 
maoist click fight.

In fact my sympathy still goes out to the people who are doing the fighting 
on the ground in Peru. The "groups" around the PCP internationally are using 
their blood to shore up their fake revolutionary credentials. The real 
deviding line of solidarity goes along class lines. For spreading the 
revolution all over Latin America as elsewhere.
For working class independence from all wings of the Latin American bourgeoisie.
For the building of a Bolshevik lenist party that will fight for the 
dictatorship of the proletariat. These goals are countered posed to all 
wings of the Maoists groups
who have a line of class collaboration in the guise of fighting 
"imperialism". This is nothing other then a menshevik policy for the third 
world which can only lead to disaster..

The real enemies of the proletariat are those who say that we can make 
blocks and deals with our liberal bourgeoisie! For you, anybody that says 
the opposite  is and "agent provocateur".  Hmmm.. if there are any workers 
out there read Aldolfos words carefully. Anybody fighting for proletarian 
independence of the working class from its own bougeoisie is an enemy and 
agent provocateur.

I say that all of those who fight for a proletarian revolution against all 
wings of the bougeoisie in Latin America as elsewhere are the real Bolshevik 
Leninists!

True, that is why people on this list get away with passing just about any

Aldolfo, i don,t know about your background. But Luis has given us some 
valuble information if it is true. However anybody who wants to know about 
malecki can go to <http://www.ios.com/~dizzyman/haha/>.

There you will find a whole book with my particulars. I will admit i have my 
weaknesses, but i tried to do the best i could under the circumstances...

We are not talking about credentials here Aldolfo. Just politics. There is a 
big differnce between Marx and Lenin and the rest of the people on your 
list. The first two were marxist revolutionaries. The rest is just Aldolho 
trying to convince us of a way to be pals with the liberal wing of the 
bougeoisie in the great "anti-imperialist"
struggle. The two are directly countered posed to one another.

You are right Lenin, Marx and Trotsky were great leaders. But even Malecki 
and Kalecki were leaders also.. The two last named were Polish Bolsheviks..

What i really hate Aldolfo is those who claim class collaboration with the 
enemies of the proletariat as being some great "anti-imperialist" struggle. 
No one should take it personally. If you would stop applying this menshevik 
theory for the third world it would be a great leap forward. In fact I even 
defend your mentors against imperialism. And the real "kiss of death" is 
people like you who give the working class illusions in their own 
bougeoisie. This has always been the deviding line between Lenin and the 
Mensheviks. The whole discussion between Feb and october was just this 
question. 

You are in the menshevik camp of that struggle by trying to sell class 
collaboration as the third world variant of just the mensheviks.Sorry if 
that upsets you.

Here obviously aldolfo is trying to build a rotten block with the social 
democrats on this list. Social democracy Lenin broke with in 1914. Aldolfo 
is trying to renew the pact in 1996! He will even go futher when the 
question of who is on the side of the proletarian revolution in Peru comes 
into question. A block with more then just social democrats will be on the 
order of the day. 

But a united front with the social democrats on this list against me is a 
step forward. Better then a block with the bourgeoisie Aldolfo..

Oh yes Aldolfo. List up the possibilities of rotten blocks against the real 
Bolshevik Lenminists on this list.. Good luck. But if there is anybody out 
there that understands that Aldolfos line of class collaboration with the 
enemies of the proletariat is incorrect. Please speak up now..

As i said Aldolfo I will defend the maoist as long as they are pointing 
their guns at the common enemy. But the above means that perhaps your are 
prepared to actually put real knives into peoples backs. Well, in northern 
Scandinavia, the people are armed. They have real guns that they use to hunt 
mooses. But if you were lucky and did succeed in murdering people that 
oppose you from a Bolshevik Leninist point of veiw. Well our movement has 
experienced this before. One of the great leaders was murdered in Mexico. 
But his ideas live. You might be able to kill and individual, but you will 
never kill the line of the Bolshevik Leninists. History so far has proved 
this time and again.

PS: Aldolfo! The real bolshevik Leninists will not turn the other cheek 
against those who will use violence against their political opponents in the 
workers movement. Remember that well! You see we have learned from 
experience. So i post this to the appropriate people for their 
attention...But let,s look on the bright side. As long as we follow the 
rules of workers democracy everybody can relax. Right Aldolfo?

And to the many lurkers on the list. Aldolfo is threatening to put knifes in 
the backs of his political opponents. Do you accept this? Silence is a way 
of condoning such tactics.
