Siege Bulletin from Rolf M., Tue 17.02.98

(To besieged Marxism-General mailing list [M-G], see http://
jefferson.village.Virginia.EDU/~spoons/, and i.a. newsgroup 
'alt.society.revolution'. Since 16.01.98, subscribers to this 
earlier open and important list are limited to max 1 posting of 
max 10 kB a day, in contravention of the list's charter. To pro-
test against these bourgeois-reactionary restrictions, send mail 
to <majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu>. Points in brief:)

01. It obviously is something quite nasty that the US and other
    imperialists are brewing together (directly) against Iraq,
    indirectly against other countries and peoples in the Middle
    East and in the whole world. It's good to se protests 
    against it coming from several directions.

02. A reply of mine to the latest posting by Dr Sendepause & the 
    Klasberries, "NEUE EINHEIT on 'RIM'", of 06.02, still is
    pending.

03. The recent apparence again of that particular writer, Chris
    Burford, UK, is comforting in a particular way. Someone a
    while ago feared that I perhaps had scared him away last
    December and that he might be replaced by someone smarter.
    Hm, would they be able to do that? It's probably not all 
    that easy to teach some new recruits all that stuff which
    this person does know, the one about whom I wrote in a
    5-part-posting on 30.06.96: "Why do I think Chris is a 
    cop?". 

04. On Marxism-Intro, a list to which I posted some things
    for the first time some days ago, there have been a couple
    of interesting discussions, i.a. on Mao Zedong and on how
    life would be like under hoped-for future communism. Will
    people really be able to "go into the stores and just *grab*
    things", and will everybody be "working with smiles of their
    faces" - as some of us agreed was a fair rendering of the
    watchword "To each according to his needs, from each accor-
    ding to his ability" - not all were quite certain this 
    would eventually come to pass, even in the more distant
    future. I on my part do think it's likely.
