"Red Encyclopedia on MIM" (Defunct as of Feb. 3 2003) A mirror version here

Even when the depoliticized attempt to separate various groups calling themselves "Marxist," they fail. The typical result is that various organizations are confused in the minds of the public. Whichever group calling itself "socialist" was in public last finds itself equated to every other organization.

Facts: 1) MIM's predecessors did not come from SDS. 2) MIM's predecessors also formed in the 1980s. 3) MIM has never taken a homophobic position and in fact has taken action against homophobia from the beginning of its existence and has exerted pressure on the international communist movement to take up the same stance.

On the other hand, the "RCP-USA" did form from an SDS splinter called the RU. The "RCP-USA" and RU took infamously homophobic stances and handed out explicitly anti-gay literature in the 1970s.

These facts are available in numerous places including our web page. We told the teeny-boppers of politics criticizing us in the "Che Lives" forum and who swear by the "Red Encyclopedia" that the article was wrong, but it still runs as of December 7, 2002.
