John Reimann -- I have no idea who Michael is. I'm the guy who wrote what you quoted. I apologize for mis-characterizing your political background. Won't do it again. I know a couple of guys up here in Seattle from Syria solidarity work who seem to be close co-thinkers of yours, just guessing from cross-posts and such, and they are from that background, although many many years ago. I extrapolated from what I know of them to you. Interestingly, I came to many of my conclusions about sect life after I became really good friends, personally and politically, with a guy who was with one of the pro-Albanian groups. What I discovered was that apparently totally opposite sorts of politics -- let's call them Hoxhaite and Trotskyite -- existed in organizations that were FUNCTIONALLY exactly the same, with the exact same problems of lack of internal democracy, a leadership with a death grip on power, yada yada yada. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
