hi there!

i wonder what exactly makes these people trotskyists. their
IMT-membership? their positive reference to bolívar, martí, castro
and other petty-bourgeois revolutionaries? or is it their support
for the farc? or rather their support of the big trotskyist hugo
chávez and the great 'consultative role' played by alan woods?

or is it just the fact that they are making appeals to the cuban
gouvernment? from what i just read i guess they will never be
arrested by the regime just as it is the case with people who are
really in opposition to the leading bureaucratic caste in cuba and
are fighting for real workers' democracy - like those trotskyists
who have been betrayed and put into prison 40 years ago by our
beloved ernesto che guevara...

i see no relationship to the ideas defended by w.i. lenin and leon
trotsky. does anyone? please let me know - i am really curious!!!

as i understand point five in their resolution, the latter (quoted
above) is correct. they are 'just' making a comparation...

but hey, i could ask them at the manifestation on columbia in 2
hours - if they are there!  ;)  i'll tell you then. *smile*
