Actually it is the relationship of forces between the Bolshevik Leninists 
and Louis,s ideas and a whole lot of other anti Bolsevik clickes and 
Maoists. Through in some American CP Stalinists, a few Labor Party people 
and you get Louis,s united front of opportunism where he can swim lie a 
fish. Back and forth from the library to the computer with the line "I hate 
the Bolsheviks". Besides that in practice Louis was supporting the 
Nicaraguan leadership which in the final analisis betrayed the working class 
and gave it away in an election..

As a matter of fact it is great the above. Louis admits that if the 
Bolshevik Leninist line did actually get a real following on this list he 
would wonder of into the desert or perhaps the Labor party discussions and 
hide. However Louis your movements at present are doubtful. You think that 
people are hearing you. well, they certainly are and they are also hearing 
those who oppose your rotten politics of the swamp. Only the future will 
tell how all this turns out..
