 Pathetic.
 
 The supporters of the Detroit Strike have petered out
 and returned to their usual mode of emotional insults
 devoid of any substance. One even provided false factual
 information on Black and white workers while defending
 the mythology of the white proletariat of the imperialist
 countries.>>>
 
 
 Tsk, tsk, tsk, and MIM never said what their great PARTY 
is doing to organize the proletariat.  The Detroit Newspaper 
Workers' strike supporters whom they misquote and denounce 
have made no attempt to present themselves as a party like 
MIM does.  MIM also refuses to grasp that even most of the 
journalists in any newspaper have no real control over the 
content of the newspaper, and therefore blames the journalists 
rather than the owners and their managers (editors and 
publishers) for the pro-imperialist content of the newspaper. 
(Not to mention the fact that most newspaper workers are NOT 
journalists anyway.)

So, it is MIM who is the real pathetic.
