Subject: Bene note


At this very moment, an info sheet is being drafted for this l'st. 

Lisa asked that I post the following which contains, from my 
perspective, some important ideas to keep in mind.

Note well the following:
---
Marx once called for a 'ruthless critique' which 'neither shirked from its
results nor from a conflict with the powers that be'. We endorse this
stance, but also believe that those who seek to develop such a critique
must do so in a manner which respects honest political and intellectual
differences. Thus, while our intention as moderators is simply to help
discussion flow along, we don't intend for [marxism2, JL] to become the 
vehicle for blood-letting or name-calling into which some other 
Internet-based 'discussion' lists have degenerated.
---
The above, with the minor name change, is from the "welcome" to the 
aut-op-sy list.

marxism2 is still in the womb, however, anyone who is interested in a 
particular subject can post (even if there aren't many of us here at 
present).

Out of the ashes is a new beginning.

Best wishes to all,

Jerry
