Re: "no MIM sino MAMones"

The answer was already witnessed by a horrified world after the fall of the
K'mer Rouge and the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia some years back. Some of us
do not forget. None of us could appologize for such horror. Only a sick
mind would ever promote it.

This is the nightmare Peru will experience should Sendero Luminoso take
over. This is the part of Sendero Luminoso's political philosophy
that their spokesmen/women would not mention. This is at the foundation
of Abimael Guzman's thoughts (Sendero Luminoso's leader, now in jail).
This is not wild imagination but documented and published fact.

MIM replies:
 
No, once again you confuse bourgeois interpretation--i.e. fantasy--
with literal facts. You will never find anywhere a published FACT
that Comrade Gonzalo said he follows the ideology of Pol Pot. Nor
will you find the words from Pol Pot's mouth hailing Comrade
Gonzalo's Maoism. But go ahead and try.

No one will find what you claimed because in fact Pol Pot labelled
genuine Maoism "counterrevolutionary." Pol Pot is an ally of China
under Deng Xiaoping. For your information, Deng Xiaoping had his
Maoist opponents shot and imprisoned long before the Beijing Spring,
1989. In his fanciful mind, in fact, the Beijing "turmoil" was caused
by "remnants of the Gang of Four," who we uphold.

On the other hand, you will find that the U.S. government has given
concrete military aid to Pol Pot. We will send the article about this
documenting it with bourgeois sources  (science@mitvma.mit.edu)
for anyone who asks. Those who have voted for Republican or Democrat
politicians have a lot more to to do  with Pol Pot than we do.

Since Pol Pot's name keeps coming up, we almost posted our articles
about Pol Pot on soc.culture.latin.america. Do us a favor? You stop
blathering about things you never investigated both sides of and
we won't post about the stupid bourgeois propaganda on Gonzalo and
Pol Pot? Deal? In fact, it should be a FAQ for this conference.
On the other hand, if you continue posting what would be lies from
here on in, we will sink to the level of the Pol-Pot-baiters and
address the issue in full length on this conference, since your
statement would demonstrate the need for it.

MIM critic continues:
 
To end,
How come, in a list like this where the main language used is spanish,
MIM's posts are in English?
Because they are trying to reach mainly English speakers.
They realize latin-americans --who know spanish-- know better than to
believe their "unbiased" reporting.  We do know it too well.
Also, they ask for money as a subscription to their "unbiased" reporting
that they are posting for "free" here?
Smart fishing? --or hopes that fish ain't smart, uh?

MIM replies:
 
1. MIM has posted Sendero Luminoso literature and other related
literature in SPANISH in this conference and around the world.
 
2. Maybe if multilingual people like you worked for progress
instead of against it, we could always post in both languages
the way your message did so well.
 
3. As for dumb fish, it is the people who repeat fantasies as fact
who are counting on that.
