[MIM introduction: Immediately upon MIM's appearance in "Marxism Space" there were those calling for MIM's expulsion. Of all things, at least two people said we should be expelled for being a party, and this within something calling itself "Marxism Space"! Marx himself labored extensively to form parties not just in one country but in several.]

Inidividuals who are members of parties can say whatever they like, but this poster is a party not a person, and has plenty opportunity to spew its line all over cyberspace. I insist that MIM be expelled from this list.

I'M AGREE WITH RALPH. I'don't like the expulsions but they can built their WWW.site as well as for example the IS tendency. (I would like all heritage WRP groups in the list but I satisfy that someone send me their mail addresses, ah! ah! aah!).

Subject: MIM
I'm normally a tolerant guy; I can even put up with Hayekians on a Marxism list. But, puh-leeeeze spare us the Maoist International Movement. Adopting monikers like MIM3 and JLQ14 to deepen their revolutionary aura, they will instruct us on how the white US working class is a privileged stratum deserving of nothing but falling wages, and other painfully juvenile opinions. Go away, MIM. Dissolve your organization. Read some books.
Think.
Just don't bug us, please! You are a disgrace to Marx - Mao even.
