My  question is, what is the meaning of that
cartoon representing Avakian  pulling an icepick from Trotsky's head?  




As others have posted on this issue, I will simply note what I believe to  be 
the origins of that cartoon.  I first saw it in a publication issued  
immediately after the split in the RCP by the Revolutionary Workers Headquarters  
(RWHq), the name chosen by the minority who left the party.  In that same  
publication, I seem to recall there was another cartoon that used a line  from a 
Randy Newman song, "Short People": "This short person got no reason to  live," 
referring to Bob Avakian's rather diminutive physical stature.  My  memory could 
be faulty; the publication I refer to was issued 30 years ago and I  haven't 
seen it for that same length of time.
 
Peace,
M.
