Hey comrade, are you coming to the Communist University this year?
I'm also going to the CWI summerschool in Gent. Perhaps we can meet up again!

Saw your thread in the member's forum and caught your tag line under your username - to answer it, the BA doesn't get bigger avatars, only the admins do. And it's because they're special, no real other reason.

Hey,

Better late as never

I kinda expected that you dropped out of activity. It's a common pattern. You'll probably be swept out of the membership database at the next clean up because of dues not paid, etc. As for your ideological search and your step back from "activism", those are entirely understandable too.

The CU is from 13 to 20 August. It would be great if you could come. Participation for the week is just £30 (see the details page). I hope you could at least come a few days.

So, whatever happened since my last message, about a month ago?

Will you come to the CU? It would be nice meeting you.

Thank you for your comments - it was so long I was unsure whether anyone would take the time to read it! And yes, it is original - but the real credit should go to the people listed in the bibliography, from whom I got all my facts.

Thanks!

Well, I'll wait for your message then. But as i said earlier, I think leaving the organisation is not going to be a step forward, for two reasons: Firstly there is no real alternative in the sect landscape and secondly we will never change the world, large or small, if we walk away. In my view it is a communist duty to express dissent and patiently explain differences, in order to educate the wider group. That too is communist leadership.

Besides, I'm sure you have friends and responsibilities. Surely walking away is not good. To stay and fight is what our culture needs in order to have it changed.

Hey,

Are you still interested in participating in the studygroup?

Given recent developments on the board we are being stricter in who is allowed into the group. Also given the expansion of revolutionary struggle into the cities in India the time is fast approaching when the possibility of violence between the CWI in that country and revolutionary forces will break out, when it does which side will you be on?

About your membership in the Maoist group, are you still a Trotskyite?
