----- Original Message ----- From: "ravi" <listmail at kreise.org> -the right-wing wins because of the needless division within the left. -are these criticisms the best use of your energy? even if you have a -beef against ANSWER, i would be better educated if you outlined your -case against them (which you have done to some extent, though references -to n.korea are a bit tenuous as seen in your own finessing of the -farrakhan factor).
Look, I have some antipathy against ANSWER and its WWP (now Party for Socialism and Liberation) leaders because some in their leadership organized a personal censuring of me within the National Lawyers Guild for my criticism of them. Chuck O was accused of being an agent of the cops by the same NLG leaders for his criticism. So I think they are Stalinist creeps on that personal experience. But here is some of the writings that led to them getting me censured at the NLG:

And a somewhat later piece witht the WWP described as part of a longer piece. http://www.nathannewman.org/log/archives/001637.shtml
And I see a bit difference with Farrakahn having bad views I disagree with versus a group that organizes in support of actually existing murderous regimes. Farrakhan may be an anti-semite but he's not actively organizing in support of killing the Jews. The ANSWER covert leadership is actively organizing to facilitate North Korea's and China's leaders continual ability to murder dissidents.
