Holden Caulfield

And you are talking about the "No Gods, No Masters" thing right?

Its really not that much different than being Christian and Communist.

The last message I wrote on JR's profile said this:

"Good, then you acknowledge that you have no leg to stand on when it comes to my criticism of you. It is true that you do nothing in real life, it is true that you have no intention of doing anything in real life."

That is still true to this day.

Oh, and as for being hypocritical, Holden knows about my political activity (in real life that is, not writing bullshit on the computer like JR) and he also knows that it doesn't require a person to be "affiliated with a party" to be politically active. Anyone who has been politically active knows this.

He is not only deficient of revolutionary theory, but also of revolutionary praxis, and that is why all his proposals are reactionary and all his "writings" and "musings" are essentially trash.

Ergo; as Bob said and any sane person here knows as a rule; never listen to JR.

It's hypocritical of LZ to call me inactive when he himself isn't affiliated in any way whatsoever. Many left activists have this praktiki problem of being sorely deficient on theory. "The educators must be educated!" (Wilhelm Liebknecht)

Also, as Bob said and any sane person here knows as a rule; never listen to JR.

I love how he tells other people to join various organizations and parties while he doesn't do shit himself activity-wise, and never has.

It humors me.

It's going pretty damn good.

A lot better than being called every other day to go out selling papers to people who don't give a shit, and if they buy it do so out if pity rather than interest, and then claiming that this activity is "revolutionary work which will build the revolutionary vanguard party of the future!"...

Yeah, no, that's bullshit. I'm a conciliator like Trotsky was (though in his case the circumstances were a bit different. The Bolsheviks existed as an independent revolutionary current of a sizable portion and with great minds in it. The genuine democratic centralism helped too).

But yeah, working as a conciliator right now seems the right way to go given the tendencies within several major parties to "unite" (though those tendencies are strongest at the base and weakest at the top, and as Trots we know that bureaucracy is always conservative and seeking its self-interest, rather than the interest of the working-class movement).

Try joining the CPGB.

Um.. I don't think I did...., sorry I didn't tell you I wasn't going to make it, just had a lot of stuff on with the fam. I hear it was an all-round good time so. :P

Aww. Can't there be two cool Trots?
