Michael Keany: >As one willing to have his mind changed by superior argument, regardless of >its geographical source, what would be the principled Marxist response to >the problems of East Timor?

What I want to know is, what is to be done >given the present conjuncture? I am not sure who you are referring to when you ask "what is to be done". Does this mean what the UN should do? Or the radical movement? I can only answer the second question. The radical movement should do everything in its power to assist East Timorese self-determination. The concrete slogans and forms of action should conform--as always--to the objective situation. Louis Proyect (http://www.panix.com/~lnp3/marxism.html)
