NOTÍCIAS DA GUERRA POPULAR: Re: [** MAOIST_REVOLUTION **] Revolting Students

Dear Joseph,

Yes Harry's article is indeed an "excellent statement", objective and basis itself on concrete conditions. Though once again and unfortunately there is no call for leadership led by Maoists to lead these struggles, to organise or to build the necessary organisation leading to the party of the Proletariat. All we have is a name of an organisation that the masses are none the wiser, not even advanced Workers including many Communist Maoists who view this list have a clue or they are.

Your reply Joseph is also ontradictory and plays a 'cheer leading' role with little ideological and political content. Of course the leaders of both the official NUS and trade union movement are a 'leadership' bought off from the crumbs of imperialist exploitation of the worlds Nations and people's. You state "There are clearly some courageous militants among the
students. I wish the same could be said of the trade union leaders! " There is a complete contradiction is this line and in it'self between the militants and trade union leaders, just as there is a contradiction between militant workers and the trade union leaders and student movement leaders alike.

Why is it that Maoists in Britain should all of a sudden carry out work amongst middle class though militant students (if work is carried out at all and I doubt it) though criticise and refuse to have anything to do with militant workers under reformist reactionary leadership?

Sure Joseph I know your response as I have analysed your line. Workers in imperialist countries are priveliged. I agree as are middle class students who want a better deal albeit through struggle under the capitalist system. For over 20 years now I have carried out political work with militant students who have come into political struggle and enter out to find good or excellent jobs - through the mill only to be replaced by other activists and so on and so forth. Does this mean I / we oppose student struggle? No and to the contrary! We have to carry out politcal and ideological work and bring them into the organisation of the working class and I will add just as we must do though opposed by many Maoists in relation to militant workers in the tarde union movement under the reactionary and reformist leadership of the Labour aristocracy.

We are running against time and Maoists in Britain should start to unite and establish a basis for an organisation relying on our own strengths and ideas as opposed to copying and attempting to replicate the line of 'New' synthesis.
