Subject: Stalinist exclusionisn vs Workers Democracy!


>>OK, it is time for a little clarification about the purpose of this list.
>>I had qualms about excluding "Stalinists", but why quibble.

The reason to quibble is that Workers Democracy must be defended against 
those who will introduce Stalinist exclusionist policies to ban people from 
taking part in the discussion at Jefferson village! This is a key issue for 
all those who claim to be communists. The present turn by the spoon and the 
moderaters of the "unity" list is a new attempt to use the tools of gags and 
bans to stifle debate and free speech on a decisive issue..
>>
>>What I won't quibble about is the need for excluding Trotskyist, Maoist or
>>Stalinist sectarians from this list. The LCRMI considers itself the
>>"nucleus" of a vanguard and Hugh belongs to another "nucleus" in England
>>that is basically a cult around deceased Argentinian Trotskyist Nahel
>>Moreno.

What you are saying here is the same thing that Stalin did to stop political 
opposition against the turn in the Third International. By using slander and 
bans and special rules he eliminated the opposition. This is the new norm 
that is being set as a principle in the creation of the "unity" list by the 
spoon and the list moderaters! Is this what the people on the "unity" list want?
>>
>>If Per and others think that we can accomodate such elements on this list,
>>may I recommend that we simply dissolve the list and get integrated into
>>the new forthcoming unmoderated Marxist list where you will hear at least
>>47 times a day from Rodwell, Malecki and the LCRMI about the need to
>>construct Trotskyist parties worldwide.

I think Per was or is a member of the Swedish Usec. This is and organisation 
who i was a member of for a number of years. After which i was won to the 
Spartacist position on politcs. However the Swedish USec has always ( !) 
defended Malecki and in fact has published my appeal regarding Vietnam in 
there newspaper. Are Per and the other USec members on the "Unity list" 
prepared to break with this great tradition and join the new Stalinist 
policies being implemented against the Stalinists and Trotskyists by the 
spoon and moderaters of unity? Or will you continue to fight for the 
Trotskyist principle of workers democracy.

>>
>>We need to discuss this. If we can't get agreement on the fundamentals, I
>>will pull out of the list and spend all my energies on the new moderated
>>Marxism list where topics like this can be discussed intelligently.

Whoever wrote the above is putting a gun to the head of the list members! If 
you don,t go along with our Stalinist exclusion methods then i will pull out 
of here and join another moderated list to ban people.

You message to this person should be clear. We do not accept your Stalinist 
methods of exclusion! We demand workers democracy and the right of all 
organisations and individuals in the workers movement to take part in the 
debate.

Down with the new czars and czarinnas of Jefferson Village.

For Workers Democracy and Communist Unity!

Could a communist please send this reply to the "unity" list?


Warm Regards
Robert Malecki
