the fragmentation resulting from the apparent implosion of the
marxism list resembles the historical fratricide of the Left in 
the "real" world...a friend of mine found evidence of 47 (if
memory serves) vanguard groups/cadres/parties in the US in the early 
'80s...it was only a matter of time before this would happen in
"cyberspace"...can you say infantilism?...I'm reminded of something
that Gang of Four's Jon King said to me in an interview a few
years ago (on an entirely different subject): this is "like a
dog returning to its own vomit"...Michael
