MIM Notes sold on Bolshevik Revolution day

MOSCOW, RUSSIA--All the MIM comrades wish they 
were in Moscow for the anniversary of the 
Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Over 10,000 people 
marched November 7th. MIM Notes received a mostly 
hostile reception at the rally, but the Russian 
Maoist Party did sell a couple of the English-
language publication MIM Notes. Perhaps the 
English-speakers present belong to that category 
of Russophiles who remember that MIM criticized 
the decadence of Soviet capitalism and its phony 
communist party from the beginning of MIM's 
existence in the 1980s until Gorbachev and Yeltsin 
made it too obvious for anyone to bother 
discussing. More important than the presence of 
MIM Notes was the Russian Maoist Party's own 
publication--RMP News. The distribution of RMP 
News created a great stir, with hostile reaction 
amongst only a minority of retrograde elements who 
just want their Brezhnev-era bureaucratic posts 
back and some similarly minded labor bureaucrats 
who want to live off the proletarian movement 
instead of for it. Issue #3 of RMP News had 
denunciations of Khruschev and Brezhnev era 
social-imperialism and support for gay liberation. 
Enemies called the RMP "kikes" and "provocateurs" 
for handing out their paper.
