INTRO NOTE:

Here I'm reproducing a debate which took place recently on the Modern
Marxism 
mailing list (created by me in August last year) at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modern_marxism/.
Participants in it were
David 
Walters <dave.walters@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, who among other things is one of the
main 
editors of the Marxists Internet Archive (MIA) at
http://www.marxists.org/,

myself and, (nominally) "marxist front" (or "MF")
<marxistfront@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, 
who/which however is not really "a Marxism-interested person or group in 
India", as "he"/"it" has pretended and still is pretending to be, but a 
so-called "cyber ghost" invented and managed for disturbance-creating
purposes 
by a certain bourgeois-reactionary person in the USA, whom I know about
since 
1996 as a kind of "specialist" on such things, by the name of Thomas P.
Murray. 

One of the peculiarities of this very good medium of communication, the 
Internet, of course is the possibility, for those persons who want to do
so, to 
"multiply" practically at will, by just acquiring a number of different
e-mail 
addresses - hundreds of them you can easily get, as the person I mentioned
has 
done too; writing, from each of those addresses, in a style which (the 
"creator" may believe, at least) is a particular one and rather different
from 
his/her "normal", and also invent some "life stories", perhaps, for all or
some 
of those "cyber ghost" "extra personalities". And websites and photos "of
their 
own", "they" of course can be provided with too, by a sufficiently 
"diligent"  
"ghostwriter". 

In a debate at another mailing list back in the year 2000, for instance,
this 
Murray opposed me politically in the guise of no less than six  different 

"persons", "who" all in fact turned out not to be any real such but only 
"existed" in that rather cold and inhospitable realm, cyber space. On
this, see 
Info #131en, "The merry Murray 'M-L' melee", of 21.08.2000, part 1/8 etc.
That 
time, it also turned out that some other and really existing debaters did
not 
understand at all that some of their "interlocutors" were mere inventions,

"ghosts", and apparently had not even reflected on that really obvious 
possibility of there existing such "cyber ghosts" as members of that
mailing 
list. That same really somewhat strange lack of fantasy I've encountered
in 
several Marxism-interested (real) persons later too.

The recent debate began precisely with my exposing, on 02.03, the fact
that 
there, unfortunately, wasn't any such person or group in India as Murray 
pretended his "marxist front" to be, but only a "cyber ghost" with that
name 
and (of course, Indian-looking) e-mail address. This fact, which I had
been 
suspecting for a while already, had become clear, at least to me, after
that 
"marxist front", "who"/"which" had earlier acted as a "rather good friend"
of 
mine, the day before had suddenly "come after me with a knife", so to
speak. 

Murray (of course) wasn't very pleased with the exposure of that
particular 
"cyber ghost" of his. It was the second one which I had found out about
within 
a short period of time, and one who/which would have been a relatively 
im****tant person or group, if there had really existed a such in India.
But his 
attempts at making that exposure "go away again" only made it even clearer
- 
and, I think, probably pretty clear to the other MM list members too -
that 
this "marxist front" is not now nor was ever a member (or several members)
of 
the community of living humans on earth. There was no need for me to reply
very 
much to the repeated protests "by" "marxist front" maintaining that "I was

mistaken" and that "he"/"it" "absolutely *was* made up of flesh and
blood".

But interesting did this so far not very exciting debate (or " ") become,
when 
that other and really existing (of this there seems to be clear evidence)
list 
member, David W., started taking part in it, from 03.03 on. In what way
this 
was, readers will soon see. The continued debate, between David and me,
came, 
very naturally, to touch on some politically quite im****tant matters.

In the below, I shall start out with reproducing the latest posting in
this 
debate, a rather long piece by me from yesterday 13.03, which I hope will
be 
found to contain things of general interest. All the other, and earlier, 
postings I shall then reproduce too, in chronological order. Some of these

perhaps don't contain all that much of direct political interest to
others, but 
I'm including all of them anyway so as to show readers precisely how that 
entire debate "went down".

The so-called "marxist front" "in India" came to the MM list in early
December 
last year. "He" or "it" did appear to me from the beginning on to be 
surprisingly ignorant of certain matters for a Marxism-interested person
or 
group in India. But I had then no compelling reason to think that
"he"/"it" was 
not genuine, as I hoped was the case. In reply to two apparently ignorant 
statements by "MF", I wrote, after having done some research too, my Info 
#297en, "On Tibet and the India-China border war in 1962", on 08.12.2007,
sent 
also to the MM list and to several other addresses. "MF" - that is, Murray
- 
seemed to be "duly impressed" by that which I had written but did not
appear to 
listen very much to my arguments concerning these matters. This already
was a 
little suspect concerning "MF", I thought.

Anyway, when in mid-January of this year, "MF" suggested that an Internet 
petition be set up against the then ongoing reactionary suppression in
Pakistan 
against democratic forces there - a good idea, which in retrospect can be
seen 
to have been intended by the "cyber ghost" managing Murray to improve the 
camouflage of that "MF" of his a little - there still was no sufficient
reason 
for me to treat "MF" as anything else than an actually existing person or
group 
in India. So I took up that idea, and set up the petition "Stop Crackdown
on 
Democratic Forces in Pakistan" at 
http://www.petitiononline.com/CraDoPak/petition.html,
stating in the
relevant 
note at that website that this petition was "created by MF and RM on
Modern 
Marxism list" and "written by Rolf Martens".

That Internet petition did not really get to "take off", as to signatures,
of 
which it collected only 9, but as a small international demonstration it
was a 
not quite unim****tant thing anyway. It was e-mailed to its "target", the 
government of Pakistan, on 25.01.2008, as also noted in the index section
of my 
homepage. A little more on it I have in my "News with brief comments"
items 339 
and 342. Out of those 9 signatures it had, actually as many as 2, it
turned out 
later, were by "cyber ghosts" - in addition to that of "MF"
"him"/"it"self, 
Murray quite nicely added one by "Norma J F Harrison"
<normaha@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, 
"the USA", exposed as a "cyber ghost" only much later and rather recently,
a 
short time before "MF". 

That fact, which can be seen today, that it in January of this year was
not 
even 9 but only 7 persons of flesh and blood who internationally made
their 
voices heard on the question at hand, doesn't really matter much anyway, I

think. That time, the disturbance-intended "cyber ghosts" had actually
turned 
out to be of some help, propagandistically, instead of  just making
nuisances 
of themselves. In retrospect, I think I did the right thing in "teaming up

with" that "MF" on this, despite "his"/"its" already then being a rather 
suspect entity.

Here follow the debate postings - as I already said above, the latest one
first 
and then the others in chronological order. Please don't get too
discouraged, 
readers, by their rather large number, 17 in all. Some of them are rather 
brief, and you can always skip such postings which don't look very
interesting. 
The latest one, mine of yesterday, is the one which I on my part want to 
recommend the most. Obvious writing errors I've edited out.


 
 
DEBATE POSTING 17 OF 17

Message #1339
Date: Thu Mar 13, 2008 2:49 am [NB, all times are CET]
From: "foreanaer1995" <rolf.martens@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: More on your notably "telling" me, Trot-trotting David, what
(not) to 
write

Hello again, David,

I want to return now to that little "cyber ghost" debate which there
recently 
was on this list. I think that there's quite a lot to learn, for everybody
on 
this list (and others too), from some postings in that debate, quite in 
particular from one of yours - "only" a one-liner, but how obviously
heartfelt 
and how full of information it was! - which was message to this list #1265

(sent 03.03).

A DEBATE, FIRST WITH ONLY AN AMURRICAN PHONY "INJUN (GROUP)" GETTING
"HIS/ITS 
HEAD" SMASHED A LITTLE BY ME, BUT THEN BECOMING MORE INTERESTING BECAUSE
OF 
YOUR NERVOUSLY "INTERVENING" "FROM ABOVE" TO HELP POOR MURR-MURR "INJUN 
(GROUP)", OBVIOUSLY ACTING, AS YOU SHOWED THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE, WITH
THE 
"SUP****T" OF SOME PRETTY BIG AND STRONG FORCE IN THE WORLD - NOW WHO OR
WHAT 
COULD THAT BE?

Your "intervening" etc here and "telling" me what to write and what not to

write, in that list message #1265, more precisely was expressed by you as 
follows:

"I call a truce between both you mutton-chops. Cut the **** and stick to 
politics!"

A couple of very interesting sentences here, don't other list members
think so 
too?

I already have commented a little on them, in my list message #1279, above
all, 
which indeed was pretty long (as complained about later by you). But I
think 
they, and the whole cir***stances behind them, do merit being commented on
even 
some more.

You here, as one list member to another, to begin with, were "telling"
another 
list member, me (and, yes, one "other such" too - this, as it happens, one

about which I had recently written that "it" was a swindler-managed "cyber

ghost" too, but your also extending a command" of yours, or something
similar, 
to that "other list member" too, that's not so relevant in this context)
what 
he (I) "should write", respectively "not write".

And you also "explained" to me (and to the already more or less dead
"ghost") 
what "was actually politics" and what "was not" - a question on which you
of 
course, David, in your capacity of propagandist of arch-reactionary
bourgeois 
Trotskyism, could not but be considered, by all other list members (to
begin 
with), as anything else than a "really big expert", could you.

And it was in that capacity of yours as an anti-Marxist, reactionary
Trotskyite 
too that you felt called-upon to "tell" me to "cut" that exposing of mine
of 
that "cyber ghost" - which, by the way, I had already carried out, so it
was 
then even to late in the day for your shouting, director "Dino" David,
"cut, 
cut!" to have any effect "of im****tance" on me, as being one of some 
"mutton-chops" in your "film recording crew" or whatever, as obviously you

thought that matters were standing. Which was a mistake, of course.

The day when I - who to the best of my ability, and as I on my own part do

believe, with some success too, since some 30+ years back have been
advocating 
and representing the political line of Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong, which 
obviously is the correct one, as seen from the standpoint of the vast
majority 
of people - shall accept "directing" from Trotsky-adhering people, that
day of 
course has the name "never in your dreams" or something similarly
poetical.

I on my part "never in my dreams" have gotten any idea of perhaps
suggesting, 
telling or proscribing to *you* what *you*, for instance should "suitably"

write respectively "not write", David. And certainly not have I ever
thought 
that my being list owner "around here" might possibly entail any "rights"
or 
any "suitability" for me as "landowner" to say, "now shoo away from that 
particular field, which, I as owner happen to know, most other list
members 
absolutely don't want to be touched or walked on", or "by treading on
which 
you're coming uncomfortably close to my lordly political mansion, you
lowly 
mere list member and mutton-chop", etc, etc.

Criticizing or perhaps applauding the postings of others, that's quite
suitable 
behaviour for all of us list members, I think. Saying to one or several
others, 
as did recently you, David, "now write this, but absolutely not that -
some 
things which you mutton-chop once did throw around were *absolute manure*,

which you need to *cut out* next time, on this list at the very least" -
that's 
something else, and something a bit strange too

What made you think that you "needed to" do that, David? This was "a
first", on 
your part too. I think it's clearly visible, anyway: In your presuming to
order 
others around like that, you felt, and wanted to show us others, there
being 
some pretty big and strong force or other in your sup****t, behind that 
"command" of yours to me, "now cut out that **** of yours of your exposing
as a 
swindle that "marxist front" of the US reactionary small-time swindler 
Murray's, which he has assured all of us others really is a
well-intentioned 
political group absolutely existing in India".

Very clearly, that "force" which you tried to make me (and all others too)

"feel" as standing behind you, that was nothing else than the
arch-reactionary 
imperialist bourgeoisie in the world.

You acted here quite openly as something like "an extended arm of the
White 
House's", didn't you.

Which very much puts the lie to that which you also have been saying, that

you're "in favour of" the proletarian revolution, and shows you up as
someone  
- at least today - very warmly *sup****ting the dictator****p of the 
bourgeoisie*.

Now this isn't really "a very big shock" for me, in the first place. And
in the 
second place, your actions in politics are also, like those of not so few 
people, rather inconsistent and contradictory. With some of your actions,
you 
in my judgment are *favouring* the proletarian revolution too. Might you
at 
some point later, perhaps, go over to that side? On such matters I at
least 
don't want to make any predictions.

As I intend to explain a little more in detail further below in this
posting - 
OK, already pretty long too, and longer still I intend to make it - I
think 
that things between you and me stand, approximately and on principle, as
they 
did in 1972, for instance, between "Tricky Dick" Nixon, on the one hand,
and 
Mao Zedong - then inviting "Tricky" to visit him - on the other. By which
I 
don't mean to say that I'm someone perhaps comparable to Mao Zedong.

What I do want to say is that his action of extending a certain necessary 
united front against the then seriously war-threatening expansionist
actions of 
Soviet social-imperialism, the then most dangerous source of a devastating

largescale war of aggression, even to such a representative of a certain 
faction within US imperialism as was "Tricky" - who at the same time of
course 
was bombing Vietnam, against which Mao Zedong's China never once ceased or

diminished its massive sup****t, that was a good move, which I've been
trying to 
copy under other cir***stances, rightist-reactionary "Dino", by going into
a 
certain united-front type alliance on some points with you.

This despite fact that you too, so to speak, are "continuing to bomb
Vietnam", 
with your reactionary propaganda concerning the main matters of political
line 
today.

Did "Tricky" perhaps, while in Beijing, try to "tell Mao Zedong what was
really 
a genuinely Marxist-Leninist line", or assure him that he, "Tricky", held
Mao 
to be "a very good friend of his"? Probably not. That's one point on
which, I 
think, "Tricky" was better, less hypocritical, than his
bourgeois-reactionary 
colleague (of today) - you, "Dino" David.

I think it's suitable also to comment on some other things in connection
with 
that recent debate of ours:


HOW AND WHY DID THIS DEBATE BEGIN, AND THEN "DEVELOP"? WHAT INTEREST MAY
IT 
HAVE (HAD), IN THE FIRST PLACE?

This debate began, as others may recall, between that - small-time but
since 
long rather infamous anyway - reactionary ghostwriting prankster and 
diversionist in the USA, Thomas P. Murray.

(OK, probably you and most others on this list couldn't or cannot tell all
that 
certainly that it *was* he. But I happen to know the guy and his
particular 
"MO", "mode of operation", since over 10 years back. And also of course,
as it 
was you who said to begin with, my name is Monk! - Adrian Monk! (Like that
of 
the current TV soap opera detective in the USA, who clearly is
out-Sherlocking 
even Sherlock himself. Or, I mean, he would have, if he had been any more 
existing in the world outside of ideas than was his predecessor "the
famous" 
Sherlock Holmes, or more than was ever any of the literally hundreds of
"cyber 
ghosts" invented and managed, since at least 1996, by the abovementioned 
reactionary Murr-Murr-Ghostie swine.)

What Murray rather stupidly did was, to let his cyber ghost, that actually

non-existing "person" or "group" "marxist front" (or "MF") "in India", 
"writing" from <marxistfront@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, attack me rather viciously, in
a 
message to this list, #1247, on 01.03. This despite precisely "his" or
"its" 
("MF's") then just recently having created an Internet petition precisely 
together with me (the "Stop Crackdown on Democratic Forces in Pakistan"
one - I 
was pleased to see you sign it too), and thus, apparently, being "a pretty

close buddy" of mine.

So why was "MF" now suddenly coming at me with that knife?

Probably because "his"/"its" handler, Murray, had gotten a little nervous
on 
account of my recently having exposed another, and less - potentially - 
im****tant "cyber ghost" of his, that "radical though also rather ignorant 
chick", "Norma J F Harrison" <normaha@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>.


WHY WOULD "THE MF GROUP IN INDIA" HAVE BEEN RATHER IM****TANT, IF IT HAD
REALLY 
EXISTED? CONVERSELY, WHY WAS IT OF SOME POLITICAL IM****TANCE TO GET TO
KNOW 
THAT IT DOESN'T? AND WHY DID YOU, DAVID, FEEL SO VERY MUCH "STUNG IN YOUR 
HEART" WHEN I EXPOSED THAT "MF" REACTIONARY SWINDLE AS A REACTIONARY
SWINDLE?

Had there really existed - as it during a few months at least appeared
quite 
possible to me was actually the case, although I did have some 
bigger-and-bigger-getting doubts about this too - such a person or group
in 
India as that "marxist front" or "MF", positively interested in Marxism
and in 
international contact, discussion and co-operation, that would have been a

quite im****tant thing, even if he, she or it were relatively ignorant, to
begin 
with.That's what I mean by saying that "MF" was "potentially" im****tant.



THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THIS MM LIST WAS CREATED AND MY WANTING YOU,
FOR 
INSTANCE, TO JOIN IT

The reigning imperialist system on earth, obviously, is totally bankrupt
and is 
only becoming more and more so for each day. But where the heck are those 
forces who are so sorely needed, then, to unite together the 6.7 or so
billion 
people on earth, help them see approximately how to take over this planet
from 
those ridiculously small cliques of reactionary s*** who for some reason
or 
other are still controlling it, although their time has really been up
since 
(at least) decades and decades back, and organize that takeover, aka the 
international proletarian revolution?

Practically no such seem to exist - whom you can get into contact with,
anyway. 
A few parties here and there in some of the oppressed countries seem to be
not 
that all bad, are leading struggles by the people in a basically rather
good 
way, but as far as I can see, none of them has a knowledge of Marxism, of
the 
international situation, and of the latest tricks of the imperialists'
even 
approaching a level comparable to that which, during some comparable
earlier 
periods, had, for instance, the First International as led by Marx, Engels
and 
some others, or the Bolshevik party plus the Third International, say, in
the 
early 1920s, or, in the 1960s and early 1970s, the CPC in China as led by
Mao 
Zedong.

Since there aren't any such forces today, some new and genuine ones much
be 
created respectively developed, and united internationally as much as
possible, 
then. And it does seem to me that any such which may or do exist, at some
level 
of interest, those are nowhere bigger than, approximately, one individual
or 
perhaps some quite few such. If in international contact with each other,
these 
hopefully can develop not so badly even today, since one thing which does 
exist, that's a simply enormous store of proletarian revolutionary theory
and 
experience, to be found above all in the writings of Marx, Lenin and Mao
Zedong 
and in those of their, true enough, very few later followers and further 
developers - some of whom I've been lucky enough to be in contact with
(before 
they degenerated).

To contribute towards such development, that's my intention with this
mailing 
list, set up in August 2007 and now having, not very many but anyway 39 
subscribers, from a sizable number of countries on 5 continents.

Politics that really, consistently and with sufficient knowledge for it 
actually to make a difference, is in favour of the international
proletariat 
and the vast majority of people today, that's something which comes down
to a 
matter of no more than some individuals here and there, I believe. Each of
you 
others, thus, who have gathered on this mailing list, for instance, I'm
viewing 
as, potentially at least, an internationally not unim****tant political 
"potentate" or force.

That's also why such an individual as that reactionary ghostwriting
prankster, 
the abovementioned Murray in the USA, at present can create some not quite

unim****tant diversions too, although these diversions really present no 
political dangers to speak of and will always be found out sooner or
later; 
sometimes they even can have some positive effects, such as that proposal
for 
an Internet petition (concerning Pakistan) which Murray let his "MF" put 
forward last January, for the purpose of camouflaging that "MF" a little 
better, and which did help create that small but not completely
unim****tant 
thing.

And the fact that organized Marxism at present is (and in the last 2-3
decades 
has been) so really "impossibly" absent in the world, the fact that here
is 
such a horrible "big black hole" in this respect, that fact also is one
that 
has caused that certain "Monkish" (to use the expression coined by you) 
Internet writers  - who're seeing through one or several ones of those
many 
whopping big machinations, manoeuvres, manipulations, conspiracies and
even 
[wars] directed against the people by the imperialists today, not least in
many 
fields of the natural sciences - are *not* (today) Marx adherents, as they

logically, in my judgment, really "ought to" be.

Some of those non-Marx-adhering writers too - whether they're (basically) 
uncorrupted scientists, as some of them are, or whether they just have
seen 
some im****tant truths, scientific ones or others, that are being
suppressed by 
the "mainstream" media - can be said to be political "potentates" in some
way 
or other, favouring the common interests of the vast majority of people.

As one example of this, I can mention Dave McGowan, a Californian like
you, 
David, and even one with the same first name as you, who at his website  
"Center for an Informed America" at http://www.davesweb.cnchost.com/
has 
written quite a lot of good stuff, not least some very well-informed and
often 
quoted such about oil's actual origin (abiotic, coming from the earth's 
mantle). In my list message #1260, of 02.03, can be seen a repeated
personal 
invitation to him where I said he was really needed here on MM. But no, so
far 
he clearly isn't interested, and I cannot really "kidnap" that guy or
anybody 
else, can I?

I was pleased to see your accepting that personal invitation which I sent
also 
to you, David, around the time that MM was started, in August last year.
You 
also are such a person whom I'd call a certain "potentate" in leftwing or 
pur****tedly leftwing politics, above all because of your work with the
Marxists 
Internet Archive (MIA) since many years back, which certainly is an
im****tant 
positive contribution of yours; you're one of MIA's main editors, if not
*the* 
main editor of it, and clearly, MIA is, in a positive sense, im****tant
enough 
to have scared the Chinese revisionists, for instance, the rulers of a
country 
with 1,300+ million inhabitants, into trying, repeatedly, to sabotage its 
website, at http://www.marxists.org/.

Of course, a continuing bad aspect of the MIA is, that it tends to lead
some 
more ignorant though Marxism-interested people [astray], with that picture
of 
the infamous traitor Trotsky smack in the middle of its entrance page.

One im****tant reason, anyway, why I hoped you'd join MM was the fact that
you, 
although a Trotskyite and thus a adherent of one of several very
reactionary 
phony"Marxist" political currents, obviously, in contrast to many of your 
"colleagues", don't fear debates, even such with some pretty sharp 
disagreements in them, but on the contrary will often start such - in
addition 
to your also sharing information which you have with political opponents
of 
yours too. And you did contribute quite a lot towards enlivening this
mailing 
list in its beginning; in this I was certainly not disappointed.

You even have abandoned - in recent years, it seems, and possibly in part 
influenced by me in this - one arch-retrogressive dogma that has long been
an 
im****tant part of the ideological setup of practically all the various 
phony"Marxist" or revisionist currents, the one saying that it's "really
an 
awful thing" to use, under conditions of capitalism, that most modern of
energy 
sources by far, nuclear energy, which today you are actively advocating 
instead.

I did know that you, in your capacity of Trotsky adherent, had a basically
very 
reactionary, anti-Marxist and bourgeois political standpoint. And, things
being 
as they are, I held and hold it to be a good thing to have some 
non-Marx-adherents on this list too - such are expressly said in its 
description likewise to be welcome on it - and I still think that having
some 
such members on it is liable to stimulate open and non-dogmatic debate.
It's 
quite OK with me of course that you've been saying, as if you believed it 
yourself, that arch-reactionary, backstabbing Trotskyism, "that's the
really 
proletarian ideology" and also that I'm "a good friend" of yours.

I don't consider myself at all "a friend of" any propagandist of
Trotskyism, 
but basically a political adversary of all such. Only as a *secondary*
aspect, 
in my engaging in some united-front-type alliances with "your" kind of 
bourgeois rightwingers too, can it be said - I on my part hold - that
someone 
like you and someone like me to a certain extent are "friends".

How *extremely* right-wing was (and is) your political standpoint, which
has 
shown up in postings of yours to this list already earlier, did surprise
me 
somewhat. For instance your saying, in list message #126, of 26.08.2007,
that 
Mao Zedong was - "a traitor to the workers" and "a traitor to socialism".
Even 
among bourgeois reactionaries, that's a pretty extreme standpoint, it must
be 
said.

And there have been a lot of other points concerning the politics of today
(not 
the old Stalin-Trotsky conflict in history, which is a complicated
business and 
which you and I have agreed to defer debate on until later) - in one
posting 
some months ago I counted to 15 such points (in a debate which I intend to

return to too) - on which you've stood up quite heatedly *against* that
which 
is in the interests of the vast majority of people and *for* precisely
that 
which US imperialism, above all, wants.

I should note there too, at the same time, that at least on one point of 
present-day policies, I've been wrong and you've corrected me - a matter
of my 
exaggerating, wrongly agreeing with an article at Rense.com, the
possibility 
for the bourgeoisie in the USA to introduce openly fascist-type political 
conditions there. (I then did expressly recognize, in a later "News with
brief 
comments" item at my homepage, that you had been right against me on that 
point.)

The quite sharp political disagreements between you and me, anyway, I
think 
have made for some debates between us which, hopefully, others have found 
interesting too. And (as I already wrote a little about above):


THE RELATION, POLITICALLY, BETWEEN YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, DAVID, AND ME, ON
THE 
OTHER, MY EXTENDING A PARTICULAR INVITATION TO THE MM LIST TO YOU, AMONG
SOME 
OTHERS, AND OUR UNITED-FRONT-TYPE CO-OPERATION ON CERTAIN MATTERS SO FAR,
WHICH 
I HOPE WILL CONTINUE, I'M VIEWING AS ONE RATHER SIMILAR, ON PRINCIPLE, TO
THAT 
BETWEEN THE THEN US PRESIDENT "TRICKY DICK" NIXON AND MAO ZEDONG IN (FOR 
INSTANCE) 1972, WHEN "TRICKY" WAS INVITED TO VISIT MAO, AND IN THE
IMMEDIATELY 
FOLLOWING YEARS TOO.

You precisely have written (and have repeated, heatedly, in a rather
recent 
posting of yours, list message #1303, on 07.03) that this thing that Mao
Zedong 
[did] was "very bad indeed", was a "*backstabbing*" action against the 
international proletariat.

In reality, it was precisely the opposite, was precisely a part of an
action 
for creating the broadest united-front possible against that very serious 
danger, at that time, of a largescale aggression by Soviet
social-imperialism, 
a danger threatening Western Europe, above all, and an action which was
very 
perspicacious on the part of Mao Zedong and very much *favoured* the
people in 
all countries. This and other really brilliant international moves by Mao 
Zedong in those years, 1972-1976 (he passed away on 09.09.1976), as well
as the 
continuing and widening of the Cultural Revolution in China itself, made
his 
prestige among the people in the world, quite justifiedly, greater than
ever.

Well may you howl and scream, Trotskyite David, (in your #1303, for
instance) 
that "the opposite was the case". The messages, published at the time in
Peking 
Review, in late October / early November 1976, congratulating Hua Guofeng
(then 
still pursuing Mao Zedong's political line) to his appointment as CPC
chairman 
after Mao Zedong, messages that came from 54 organizations in 43 countries
in 
the world and which expressed the massive sup****t, by those organizations 
including the (then) quite im****tant and big communist parties in the 
Philippines, Indonesia and Peru etc etc, give you the lie totally on this.
(See 
"UNITE! Info #310en", at my homepage, index, 19.02.2008.)

Those many messages to China then corresponded also to what the m***** of 
people in the world thought of Mao Zedong's political line, as carried out
in 
practice precisely in the years 1972 - (early autumn) 1976. And this was
not 
only what people here in Northern Europe thought, as that ****** posting
of 
yours maintains too, but practically all over the globe. Precisely from
here in 
Sweden, though, I happen to have a series of figures which can be said to
show 
the views of those best-informed politically.

It's the development, over the years, of the number of members of the 
(non-party-political) Swedish-Chinese Friend****p Association (abbreviated 
"SKVF" in Swedish). That number during a long time, from 1962 to 1967,
stayed 
constant at the rather low level of 500. (Sweden has/had some 9 million 
inhabitants.) From 1968 on, after the Cultural Revolution ha been going on
a 
couple of years, it started to move upwards, and did so steeper and
steeper for 
each following year, until it reached 9,500 in 1976 (and the association's

leaders hoped it would move on to some 50,000). But from November 1976 on,

there was counter-revolution in China, and while the mass media here began

lauding China, as led by that traitor Deng Xiaoping, to the skies, the
m***** 
of people in Sweden reacted very quickly, in the opposite direction, to
that 
change, which they sensed. The SKVF member****p number abruptly ceased its 
earlier steeper and steeper growth, remaining only constant in 1977, and
from 
1978 on it started sinking like a stone again, by [1982] having gone down
to 
4,000. Eventually, that whole association vanished.

You, David, wrote some more **** on these matters in your #1303, saying
also 
that Mao Zedong "crossed a class line"[!!] when he opposed the 
Hitler-fascism-similar international aggressive dealings of the 
*social-imperialist* Soviet Union, which since long really *had* crossed
the 
class line, over to the dictator****p of the bourgeoisie, by the actions of

Khrushchov and the other Soviet revisionists from the late 1950s / early
1960s 
[on].

And you also, poor "Dino", tried to explain to us others "how, in the 
mid-1970s", "more and more ordinary people" "were leaving the camp of Mao 
Zedong" "entering" that which you Trotskyite only slightly camouflaged 
bourgeois reactionaries (well, not so few among you were really only, I
think, 
just very ignorant of the realities of Soviet social-imperialist internal
and 
external policies) insisted on continuing to call "a worker's state", 
pretending (or not knowing any better than) that it "had not" changed its
class 
character totally, since the 1930s and 1940s.

Listening to those explanations of yours on that, and indirectly also on
those 
"oh-so-progressive" "workers' states" in some (other) East European
countries 
too, many among us others, I suppose, finally correctly have understood
how 
very necessary, for the "traditional" capitalists, had been that
well-known 
Berlin Wall, erected of course in order to prevent almost everybody in 
Berlin(West), and in West Germany, from defecting and escaping
*eastwards*, to 
those Paradises of "workers' states" there!

Jokes aside, though, almost everybody who got into some closer contact
with, or 
otherwise got to learn a little more about, the social-imperialist Soviet 
Union, just hated its guts.

Practically everybody, that is, except for some quite few people - here in

Europe, *very* few indeed, in the more distant North and South America,
say, a 
few more, perhaps - above all people who were in, or who trusted the
statements 
of, some *phony*"Marxist" organizations - Trotskyite and other 
openly-revisionist ones such as the "CPUSA" perhaps in particular, but
also a 
whole series of other pur****tedly "socialist" organizations.

What was it about that really fascist-type state, the Soviet Union in the
late 
1960s and early 1970s, that attracted the leaders of "your" type of 
organizations so very much, and that obviously attracted you personally so
very 
much too, David, that still today, you cannot stop disseminating the most 
schtoopid, childish lies about the "workers' state" of that time still
today?

I think it to a large degree was that "promise" precisely of *fascist* 
suppression of the proletarian revolution which that state held out, to
those 
phony"Marxist" leaders, whose main driving force - this it's im****tant to 
understand - was always their utter *hatred* of that revolution. Plus the
fact 
[that] the actually *bourgeois* character of that state was always 
systematically denied and hidden too, by all the openly-bourgeois media.
Didn't 
"everybody" "know" that "communism" - as those media always called any
state 
that "defined itself" as "socialist" - that was what there was in the
Soviet 
Union?

To some not all that bad-intentioned but very ignorant people, in North
and 
South America, say, even the social-imperialist Soviet Union may have had
some 
attraction, as being, some may have hoped, at least something of a 
counterweight against that very big, strong and nasty reactionary power
whose 
actions everybody there had experienced "close to home" - US imperialism.
Such 
"counterweight" reasoning in certain cir***stances may even be justified.

But I'm guessing that your - pretty strong, I've noted - love for that
earlier 
big bully in the world, Soviet social-imperialism, has the same background
as 
your, likewise, quite particular one for the US imperialism of today -
perhaps 
you haven't even consciously noted that yourself? - a big and strong bully

against the people in the world, one some of whose very obvious and
well-known 
wrongdoings you're opposing too, David, but whose more hidden (and also
more 
revealing) ditto, including such smaller-time such which it's inspiring -
the 
tricks of the "cyber ghosting" Murr-Murr, say - you absolutely don't want
to be 
dragged up into the daylight; no, such "****", you tried to make me listen
to 
your "command" about:

"Cut!"; "Cut!"; "Now cut that out!". Which, you must have realized
yourself, 
couldn't have had much chance of success, could it?

And then, in some later postings, (#1295, #1296 and #1303), you tried to
"run 
way from it all" - your "little" oneliner in #1265 - "It was just a joke";
"I 
never intended to help 'MF' at all"; "I don't know what was going on", 
respectively, "You [Rolf], didn't get it, did you?", etc.

Those postings of yours were pretty funny and instructive too, and really 
likewise worth some comments. But now even I - at long last - have gotten
as 
fed up with this whole "cyber ghost" discussion, as are perhaps some
others, 
already after reading this additional pretty long (sorry about that!)
piece of 
mine on this theme.

So I'm ceasefiring, or fireceasing, here, certainly not accepting any
"truce" 
but, on the contrary, declaring another small but total victory for the
"Monk 
people" against that "cyber ghost community", its Murr-Murring handler and

against your attempt at "rescuing" him too, plus that "Big-Big Brother"
who 
could be sensed in the background of your "cut-the-****!" one-lined but 
volumes-speaking posting.

Subject: Re: FRSO: Some Points on the Mass Line

I have a quick reply to that question of yours too, old Murr-Murr
ghostwriter.

I never once, on this list, did call myself "a Marxist". Which you could
see 
for yourself, if you were to look through all the postings here by me, so
far.

So that question of yours actually was pretty silly.

I want to add a few things here, Murr-Murr, concerning that "cyber ghost"
of 
yours, "marxist front <marxistfront@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>", which you're making
"write" 
now and which first appeared in early December last year:

When I replied to two questions by that "writer", with an item in my
series 
"UNITE! (etc) Infos" on 08.12.2007, I still held it quite possible that
"he", 
"she" or "it" was genuine and above-the-board - that is, an actually 
Marxism-interested person or group actually writing from India.

That Info was, as you may recall, numbered #297en and entitled "On Tibet
and 
the India-China border war in 1962". I did a little research before
writing it.

True enough, that "writer" had already demonstrated a level of ignorance
which 
I found rather surprising, for such a person or group. But this could be 
explained, I thought, by something like that which I wrote in that Info:

"It's unfortunate that you, living in India itself where both the question
of 
Tibet and that of the border war in 1962 of course have a particular 
im****tance, have been deceived by this propaganda. But I think your being 
mistaken on these issues can be explained by the reactionary lying about
them 
having been most massive and by a suppression of those facts which refute
it, 
and certainly does not necessarily mean that you 'have become
chauvinist'."

Still in January of this year, when that "writer" - also "signing" some of

"his"/"her"/"its" postings "MF" - suggested that an Internet petition be
made 
against the crackdown on democratic forces in Pakistan, and also signed
that 
petition which I soon wrote (including my saying that it had been created
by 
"MF and RM on Modern Marxism list"), I had no compelling reason to think
that 
"he"/"she"/"it" was just another of those hundreds of "cyber ghosts"
created, 
since (at least) 1996, by a certain reactionary retired schoolteacher and
(as a 
such, not yet retired) prankster in the USA by the name of Thomas P.
Murray - 
that is, you, Murr-Murr-Ghosty.

I treated this matter then proceeding from the (still not all that
unlikely) 
assumption that this "MF", of that big country, India, was quite genuine
and 
above-the-board.

It was some stuff which you made "MF", or "Vijay" - that name which your
"MF" 
"confessed to having", only rather late in the day - write more recently,
that 
is, last February, that clinched the matter for me:

From then on, I was certain: "He"/she"/"it" really is just another one of
your 
"cyber ghost" creations, Murr-Murr-Ghosty.

A pity of course, now that I recently have "made" that likewise really
"rather 
nice" cyber ghost chick "Norma J" of yours too - and yes, I do appreciate
the 
little joke of making appear (as "she" did for a while in August 2007) on
a 
list abbreviated "MM", which might be short for "Marilyn Monroe" too, of 
course, precisely somebody so much reminding people of good old Marilyn's
real 
name, Norma Jane [Note, 14.03.2008: I corrected that to "Norma Jean" in a
brief 
posting soon after the one reproduced here. - RM] Baker - a pity, I
repeat, 
that out of the (only) 9 signatories to that petition, as many as 2, or
all of 
22%, were really only "cyber ghosts" created by you.

But this doesn't really matter much. Despite everything, that petition was
a 
quite good and by no means completely unim****tant thing anyway.

In setting it up "at the initiative of somebody else", I was able to
utilize 
that idea of yours, Murr-Murr-Ghosty - which you no doubt put forward as
part 
of your intended cover for that "Frontie" - for a not so bad purpose.

And your silly question now clinches even more the matter of whether that 
"Injun" (those "Injuns") was/were really (an) (East) Indian "Injun(s)" or
not, 
instead of perhaps one (or several) North Amurrican ditto, and whether, if
the 
latter, "he"/"she"/"it" had some real wigwam(s) somewhere else than under
the 
keyboard of a certain reactionary retired teacher and (not yet retired) 
prankster by the name of Murray, you see, Murr-Murr-Ghosty.


Now have I elaborated on this too much, do other readers think? I hope I 
haven't bored too many with it. In the present situation - returning a
little 
to your question here, Murr-Murr - when actual Marx adherents who can be 
contacted still seem to be rather few, one lone prankster like yourself
can in 
fact make his "voice" (or rather, "voices") heard a little too, and it is
of 
some interest to ascertain what writers (or " ") who appear on various
mailing 
lists and/or newsgroups are just "cyber ghosts" instead of something else.

In all cases anyway, this will become clear after a while, even if it may 
sometimes take some months. And no serious political problems can be
created by 
such persons plus "ghosts" as you and your little circus,
Murr-Murr-Ghosty.

Okie com Rolf

So now we are also a ghost of that Murr or whatever you call it .....I
need not 
give you testimonies of my and my group's existence in India and outside

world, in fact sometimes I think that you are a CIA agent out there to
destroy 
communist unity by dividing groups and person by name calling.

how you get this information of Murr's creation is something inruging may
be 
you have a database that gets updated every nano second by latest creation
of 
Murr how much money have you been paid by the imperialistic agencies to
desrupt 
the Communist groups in the cyberworld, hope you do not do it in your area
if 
those people allow you to e in their group

You said we appeared last year in December didn't your boss in CIA and its

lackey org give a real data on us????????

In fact you remind me of a news item last year where I guess the entire a

[Note, 14.03.2008: This posting of mine was a reply to Taimur Rahman 
<redpak2000@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>, of Pakistan, who usually writes to the cmkp_pk
mailing 
list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cmkp_pk/.
He recently had sent a
private 
reply to me, to a question which I had put at that mailing list. I sent a
reply 
to this again privately to him, Cc-ing that reply to the MM list,  as the 
debate posting reproduced here. - RM]

Thank you for this information (below), Taimur, about an organization
which was 
earlier unknown to me.

With people like that, I, for instance, might well enter into some
united-front 
alliance or other. I'm finding no objection to this on principle. But at
the 
same time, I shall criticize their Hoxhaist line.

Speaking about organizations and about "lighter notes", you may be
interested 
in learning the following (I hope you won't mind it's quite long but will
find 
at least some parts of it to be useful):

In early December last year, there appeared "a new writer" on that mailing
list 
MLL which you know about, and also on the MM list managed by me (and to
which 
I'm also sending this reply by me now, including the quote from you), a 
"writer" by the name of "marxist front" (sometimes undersigning postings
as 
"MF"), and with the address <marxistfront@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>.

Thus it seemed to be a Marxism-interested person or group in India. And I 
thought of course, that if this was actually a such, who/which was
interested 
in some international discussions too, that was really a good thing.

Now that "writer" did, from the very beginning on, seem surprisingly
ignorant 
for such a person or such a group in India. He, or it, maintained that
China 
"had conquered and occupied Tibet" and "had attacked India", both of which

things, he or it maintained, had "created problems for the M-L movement in

southeast Asia in particular".

I took the op****tunity then to do some research on the brief 1962
India-China 
border war, about which I was already rather certain that it was an unjust
war 
on the part of India, the actual aggressor in that case, and a just one, a

counterattack in self-defence, on the part of the then still socialist
China, 
and also a little on Tibet, which I since long knew was actually a part of

China since centuries back and which was liberated, certainly not
"occupied", 
in 1950-1951.

The results of this I presented, as replies to "MF", in my "UNITE! Info
#297en: 
On Tibet and the India-China border war in 1962", on 08.12.2007, at: 
http://www.rolf-martens.com/UNITE%21%20Infos/webstyle1/unite_info_297en.html

Replying again to this, "MF" stuck to "his"/"its" stupidities on these
matters, 
and among other things, ridiculously, complained about China's "having
allied 
itself to" such an Islamic country as yours, Pakistan - no doubt referring
to 
the fact that Pakistan (then still not having Sharia laws, I read too, as
it 
got to have under Zia ul-Haq in the 1970s) had solved its border problem
with 
China in a sensible way, by negotiations, in 1963.

This made me already suspect rather strongly that this "marxist front" was
not 
really a Marxism-interested person or group in India, because those
standpoints 
were quite unlikely to be taken up by even a relatively very ignorant such

person or group in that country.

It so happens that I have a rather long experience as a political
activist, 
going back to the mid-1970s approximately, when I also got into contact
with an 
actually genuine and very advanced M-L party in Germany, some
representatives 
of which happened to stay here in Malmö, Sweden, for a while, because of 
persecution in the then West Germany and Berlin(West), and learned quite a
lot 
from that party up until 1990, when I had to criticize it as then totally 
bourgeois-degenerated and to break with it. I also have a not so short 
experience as an Internet writer and debater (on various mailing lists,
for 
instance), since late 1995.

Among other things I got to learn, as one part of that experience, about
the 
existence of what I'm calling "cyber ghosts". These are "writers" with
certain 
e-mail addresses and certain "political standpoints" - sometimes with
certain 
(pur****ted) "life stories" (and in one case I've encountered even with a
photo 
too - that of a mischievous-looking "young Vietnamese woman" by the name
of "Ms 
Lee Trahn" - the "h" very strangely-placed before the "n" here, as in some

German names, but never in Vietnamese ones), only, these "writers" don't 
correspond to any real persons, or organizations. One actual person, for 
instance, can create as many different such "cyber ghosts" as he/she wants
to, 
simply by acquiring several different e-mail addresses and then using his
or 
her fantasy.

This is another phenomenon - please note - than that of certain persons
going 
under an alias or other when writing on the Internet, something which of
course 
may be quite justified and may not be intended basically to fool other - 
ordinary - people at all, but only to offer some protection for the person
in 
question from certain reactionaries.This of course is like V. I. Uljanov 
calling himself "Lenin", and more recently, the chairman of that party in 
Germany which I mentioned, Hartmut Dicke, during a certain period calling 
himself "Klaus Sender" - the name under which I. for instance, used to
know 
him.

One instance of such "cyber ghost" creation, which I got to know about
from 
1996 on, was that of a certain reactionary retired teacher in the USA by
the 
name of Thomas P. Murray. He was severely criticized by some other writers
then 
for his constantly trying to impersonate other people and in that way to
create 
trouble for them, and for his constantly appearing under new e-mail
addresses - 
already dozens of them at that time - falsely pretending that behind each
of 
those new addresses there was another actual person - sometimes a female
one 
too, and sometimes an entire group or organization. I thus became familiar
with 
that phenomenon of "´cyber ghosts" in general and also with there
emanating a 
whole fleet, or circus, of such from the keyboard of that particularly 
persistent prankster, the reactionary Mr. Thomas P. Murray, the USA.

Now later, in the year 2000, I was debating some things on a certain
mailing 
list - which happened to be precisely one controlled by a Hoxhaist above
all, 
by the name of Hari Kumar. Another phony"Marxist" (op****tunist) was also 
writing to it, a Per Rasmussen, of Denmark. In a most intensive debate on
that 
list then, there were no less than 8 [Note, 14.03.2008: Actually, a little

less: 6. - RM] "different persons", with otherwise "quite different"
political 
standpoints, who all teamed up, in just hating, and very violently
opposing, 
that political line which I was advocating. I soon got to understand then
- 
which, at the time, however, neither Hari K. nor Per R. could be made to 
understand, when I presented the (in my opinion) rather compelling
arguments 
for it - that all of those "persons" in reality were "cyber ghosts"
created 
precisely by that same person in the USA, Murray.

I soon wrote a rather long Info about that - also quite funny -
experience: My 
"UNITE! Info #131: The merry Murray 'M-L' melee", in 8 parts, of
21.10.2000, 
now at
http://www.rolf-martens.com/UNITE%21%20Infos/U%21%20%23131en/U%21%20%23131en%20
1-8.txt etc.

One "cyber ghost" of Murray's who made "his" (I think) very first
appearance 
then, in the course of that intensive debate in the year 2000, was a
pur****ted 
"former military man" by the name of "Mark Scott", address 
<mn1scott@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>. "Him" you of course know about rather well too,
don't 
you, Taimur?

Because not only did this Murray reactionary s*** express his particular
hatred 
of me quite particularly violently and swinishly through the "writings" of
that 
particular cyber ghost of his, "the ex-military-man" "Mark Scott", ever
since 
we encountered each other on a mailing list again, which was on the list
MLL 
from autumn 2007 on, but he also got to hate you, Taimur, rather
intensively 
too, from late December 2007 on, since you consistently maintained that
the 
assassination of Benazir Bhutto on 27.12.2007 had been a reactionary crime
and 
nothing something quite different, as Thomas P. Murray was stupid enough
to let 
his puppet "Mark Scott" maintain quite openly.

At that point in time, late December 2007 - early January 2008, when you -
very 
nicely, I hold - refuted the utterly reactionary standpoint of "Mark
Scott" on 
this assassination, you got a dose, from "him", of that stuff too, about
which 
Mao Zedong used to say "to be attacked by the enemy is a good thing".

You rightly suspected then that "Mark Scott" was not the writer's real
name. 
But it seems you didn't realize - as I did, having some particular
experience 
with this phenomenon - that it was this reactionary person, Murray, who
was 
"ghostwriting" the postings of "Mark Scott". In this case, it didn't
really 
matter much whether there behind the name "Mark Scott" was a real person
or 
not.

However, another interesting thing at the same time was the postings to
MLL of 
"another writer" "by the name of" "frankenstein580" or "f580", and address

<frankied002@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>. "He" was very much and very curiously sup****tive 
precisely of this "Mark Scott". I had already realized, since some time
back, 
that "he" too was a member of that "merry Murray" cyber ghost family -
even 
before "frankenstein580" had "told" us others at MLL "all the details" of 

"his" - oh, so tragic! - "life" (something which "Mark Scott" did too,
just in 
order to "convince everybody", of course, that "he" "really did exist").

Now do you get the picture, on principle, here?
