Louis: Robert, isn't it a fact that the most noteworthy political act you
ever took in your life occurred over 25 years ago? Isn't it also a fact
that this act was contrary to the spirit of Marxist mass action? Isn't it
also a fact that you live in the forests of northern Sweden with your two
donkeys and do not engage in any day-to-day political activity? Belonging
to a union, by the way, is not a revolutionary act. Why don't you stop
preaching to the list about the need to build revolutionary parties until
you stop living like a hippie and get down with the masses? You remind me
of a Jew with a porkchop in one hand and a glass of milk in the other
scolding me for not going to synagogue.
