Kelley>option 2: why don't you go out and create that party and teach
everyone how
to do it right. anyone can grow up to be lenin!

Michael Rotkin on his door to his faculty office at UCSC had a great cartoon
from Radical America sometime in the 70's during the "new communist" party
building days. (See, btw, for a serious article on same, Allen Hunter from
RA around '79, "American Leninism in the 70's, " lotsa good stuff on October
League, RCP...) "Build your own communist party! Names? Pick and choose from
(Marxist-Leninist or M-L for short), Proletarian, Workers, Vanguard,
Provisional, Revolutionary, Communist..."
  John Trinkl who wrote for the Guardian was reputed to have been working on
a book on on M-L in the 70's but, I've never seen any sign of it. This by,

, is o.k. but friends who were there say the treatment of some aspects is
off-key.
  And this from the larger of the FRSO's is a good geneology of the maoist
branches. http://www.freedomroad.org/whoweare/familytree/familytree.html
