Ken M. (not Ken L!- (kennel for leninists! oops, I just got put into the dog house by Ken L.! Woof, Woof! Gimme a Kautsky dog bone! I need some revisionist ultra-imperialism. It really makes my tail wag!), asks about embarrassment and the Proyectians. Nah, they are beyond shame. Dontcha know that is a petty-bourgeois emotion.

And Merleau Ponty? On the Vaticans, 'er I mean the Comintern's Banned List since, his break with Sartre over Korea and the PCF, and esp. since he recanted his earlier, "Humanism and Terror, " in ,"Adventures of the Dialectic." And that Sartre fellow, suspect from the get go. Agnes Heller, why she's anti-Leninist, and those other Budapest Circle folks like Ferenc Feher, and Gyorgy Markus, they're even worse! Imagine, critiquing "really existing socialism, " after the Party provided such a nice prison cell to write their books in!

Give the marxmail.org list a few more years, and it will resemble the alt.politics.socialism.trotsky newsgroup.
