Jim,
did I ever say the PDS is an anti-capitalist party? They are just a
social-democratic party. Thats what a marxist should criticise.
But your attack on Chris came from the other side: Without any evidence you
accused him of beeing a police agent. Thats more or less the Uncle Joe
school of history.

I beg to differentiate: The PDS predecessor the SED had 1.7 million members,
the PDS today has less than 100.000 members. Though the PDS has its roots in
the SED, its a completely different party nowadays. In the East it simply
stands for social 'justice'. A lot of youth think the PDS is anticapitalist.
So criticise the PDS for what they are today, but leave your reactionary mud
sliding.

For what? For their excellent web-design, or their life style articles? They
dont write about the PDS, socialism or an anti-capitalist alternative.
Browsing through their webpage one could get the impression Germany is a
ecological dictatorship, where cars and electricity are banned and everyone
has to do farming. But I can assure you from here I am still allowed to
drive my car and use my computer.
When I read in Novo about 'totalitäre Gleichschaltung' just because a few
apologists of nuclear power have been sacked from a irrelevant state
comission, I am doubting the mental state of the Novo author and ask me
whether he has learnt anything in his history classes.
Thats the style of conspiracy theories the LaRouchians are publishing over
here. But anyway, why bother about the copy, when you can have the original.
