Good evening David. I fear I am rather lost. For several reasons! i) The quote I gave, you appear to think is from Bhakdash - it is not - but it is a summary of Amin's statements. I have written more about Bhakdash directly, and I am very happy to dig that out for you if you wish. But for reasons I note at the end, it will not be today.
ii) "Weasel" words like " "Revisionist" or even "incorrect" - I frankly do not understand. This will have to become a definitional thing. But as I suspect you know pretty well - (I mean you do know me now for many years!) - what I mean by 'revisionist' is a departure from Marxist-List literature/writings/teachings. I believe that I can (and it looks like I will have to at some point) - substantiate that at some juncture. Certainly as regards Mr. Bhakdash. [BTW - Michael K - I realise you are not trying to provoke me as some here do! However I take the opportunity to say I have never seen growing out of my most juvenile and immature stage call myself a 'stalinist". Stalin rejected that terminology - I call myself a MList. iii) David - I do not get your remarks about the Comintern whatsoever. A few of us have argued since 1968 - that the Comintern was taken over by hidden revisionists (your supposed weasel word again - again we'll [i.e. you and i] have to be clearer at some juncture). And I certainly do not understand your "looked like Trotskyists" remark. Otherwise I take what I can. Thank you for your kind words at the end. But finally - why I cannot dig out more right now: Today is Diwali - Indian New Year. A Happy New Year to you and all Marxists here. A better next year is to be hoped for. I shall return to the stove for cooking our Diwali dinner. Be well, H -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
