"Your branch can choose to hold pre-convention discussions at branch
meetings or as events separate from branch meetings. Please be sure,
however, to limit all preconvention discussions (and documents) ONLY TO
DUES-PAYING MEMBERS OF THE ISO. If you believe that close contacts will
benefit from the preconvention discussion, then encourage them to join
the ISO and take part!"
From the first page of "Pre-convention Bulletin #1 / October 2013" of
the International Socialist Organization which is holding its convention
this weekend in Chicago.
From my status on Facebook:
-----------
INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST ORGANIZATION INTERNAL DOCUMENTS LEAKED
If anyone is interested, the preconvention discussion of the
International Socialist Organization, the largest "Leninist" (poor
Lenin!) organization in the United States, is available for download.
The convention is scheduled to be held this weekend in Chicago.
The members-only collection has been made available by "Anonymous," who
posted the following comment on The Pirate Bay:
* * *
the bolsheviks had no internal documents
http://www.thenorthstar.info/?p=7727
long live wikileaks
long live the internet
long live socialism from below
ps NOT posted by the renewal faction
* * *
The article linked to is "Lenin was not a Leninist," which I did write,
signing it with the pen name I've been using for many years. However, I
did not post the pirate bay torrent, though if I helped inspire the
posting, I am glad to have contributed to what I hope will be the
beginning of the end of the childish "secret handshake" culture of the
socialist left.
If for some reason you can't download via the torrent, send me a message
with an email and I'll send them to you. I'm thinking especially of
Universities that have the same attitude towards Internet freedom as the
Chinese authorities and block file sharing, like Guilford College in
North Carolina.

Well, at least the ISO can claim that *someone* cared enough to pirate
the documents. What other socialist group can make that boast?
