No Hans, it is not a pity, but a concious policy by the moderater team. I 
was never allowed on the "Unity list at Jefferson Village from the 
beginning. I do not consider the "unity" list "counter-revolutionary". 
The list is a collection of reformists,neo-Stalinist, and fake 
Trotskyist liquidaters. Their broad unity scheme will mean new 
defeats for the working class because this unity is based on a none 
program and strategy which can not lead to victory for poor 
and working class people. 

But taking back Proyect the yellow journalist who has accused a poor 
and working class person of lying about his activities during the war 
in Vietnam and of being a cop and agent in the pay of the American 
Government. These are accusations against a poor and working class 
person that has been living in exile in over 25 years and faces a long 
prison term in on returning to the United States. Proyect is welcome 
on the "Unity" list at Jefferson Village not once but twice! While Malecki 
who declared he would observe all the rules except political bans of groups 
and people has NEVER been allowed in to the Unity List at Jefferson Village. 
My crime obviously is existing!

Hans, Taking on being moderater (which i hereby decline) on the new list 
does not mean i will be put in a straight jacket! Naturally i am interested 
in "in-depth" discussions. In fact i think that my writting does do this 
from a poor and working class and trotskyist perspective. At least the times 
i am not beating off the viscious slander and anti malecki garbage at 
Jefferson Village that is going on the last months based not on politics but 
Malecki and his book. In fact quite a number of people have spit on Malecki 
for existing at all! You are demanding that poor and working class people 
should *act* in a certain way in order to *exist* or be even be themselves. 
Poor and working class people are to abide by the rules set up by you and 
others that claim this is the way to be productive and not drown the list 
with material. But the lists are drowned with anti-poor and working class 
material of the most vulgar sort and this is allowed! In other words the 
poor and working class should make a revolution according to the rules set 
up by the present majority that control things at Jefferson Village.

I am beginning to think that i do not belong here at Jefferson village at 
all. Because it appears that the only one that has to change and be put in a 
straight jacket is Malecki. All the others can do just about anything 
including accusing me of lieing about my earlier activities and being and 
agent provacateur. Obviously poor and working class people like Malecki are 
not welcomed but should be crushed, shit on, slandered and lied about 
without any changes at all except that Malecki should adjust to this kind of 
activity.

I have been spit on and slandered and cop baited on M1. i have been banned 
and they have set up special rules for Malecki who never was a member of the 
Unity list in the first place and said that i would abeit by all rules . 
This was also the case with M2. All of these actions were because of my poor 
and working class activities which sabotaged the lists that were just fine 
until Malecli showed up.

As far as Marxism International it is unclear as of yet what will happen in 
regards to the malecki problem. I am quite sure that it is being discussed 
however. The general trend of things that have happened here makes me state 
this obvious fact.

And now i feel that you are trying to put a straight jacket on me. Why is it 
that Malecki is the problem. That there are special rules just for him on 
every list.

No the more and more i think about it. I really do not belong here. At the 
same time people can use the vilalist of slander against a poor and working 
class person and be welcome if not applauded for putting the poor and working 
class exile in his place!

It is a free haven for people who slander and lie. Who are allowed to write 
and publish just about any viscious slander or picture on Malecki. 

In fact it appears that people think it more important to be on a list then 
have any principles what so ever. OK i have to accept that reality. At 
present there is no place here at Jefferson village for people with my 
background. And being here means that the "marxists" are allowed to use 
any tactics neccessary to get Malecki. So naturally i will use 
this letter as a report to other poor and working class people about 
how one poor and working class person was treated because he wrote a 
book about his experiences and tried to take part in the 
political discussions to the best of his ability. But he appears to be the 
common enemy of all or most of the "marxists" at Jefferson village. In fact 
perhaps this report should and will become a chapter in my book. I think 
Chapter 20 I could call it. "After the end!"-- "A poor and working class 
person's experience with the 'Marxists' on Internet." Naturally including 
the declaration on the "Unity" list at Jefferson Village. Yes I am 
definitely going to do this. 

I think that the so called Marxists on this list are not counter 
revolutionary. They are just petty bougeois intellectuals who when a poor 
and working class guy like myself walks in joined hands and try to destroy 
me as a non-thing,lumpen, liar, cop. How dare a poor and working class guy 
walk in here after being raised in the slums in New York City and 25 years 
in exile because of his anti-war activities and think he has something to 
say to us "Marxists".

This i could accept knowing that when the millions and millions of poor and 
working class people start to get it together i would find my place on the 
barricades together with them. But to be treated as a cop and agent 
provacateur in the pay of the government while the entire Jefferson Village 
lists quietly accept this kind of slander and accept the ban of Malecki 
on a list the he was never on or the lowest yellow journalism and slander
and finally trying to put a straight jacket on him in order to teach him 
table manners. No it is not me that needs any table manners!
