I say, Barkley, old man, you do seem to be getting infected by the M1
virus. You had better cease any contact with Louis Proyect, or you will
soon be a hopeless case.

I haven't figured out if Mark is a seeker after truth or a chain-yanker
yet, myself. Perhaps he's a plot by the FBI to make the intellectual
leadership of international socialism irrelevant by having them spend all
their time producing learned dissertations on the fundamentals of Marxism.
Hard to say.
