There are a couple people--and oddly they know each other somehow--who accuse MIM of bad-jacketing. Bad-jacketing is wrongly accusing someone of being enemy of the oppressed. Recently we talk about death threats pinned on MIM. Bad-jacketing is a similar idea but in reverse. Where the oppressed are strong, bad-jacketing is a pig tactic that can cause havoc, say by accusing a genuine Palestinian of being an I$raeli snitch and then watching while that Palestinian patriot is killed by other Palestinian patriots.
MIM suspects Amerikans principally in one direction--white nationalism or lackeyism serving white nationalism. That suspicion does not vary by individual. We steer in one direction. For others to do the same thing, they have to come to a factual generalization similar to MIM's.
To say that Euro-Amerikans are bad-jacketed by MIM is wrong for a couple reasons. MIM carries out no armed struggle and no one who has ever accused MIM in this direction was in a situation such as when MIM crossed lines at Oka in the Mohawk struggle against a golf course. Bad-jacketing becomes relevant when the oppressed are in a strong position.
Secondly, MIM may differ with others on this question, because we believe if one has to guess, "enemy" is a good guess for Amerikans. Some would call it "bad-jacketing," but MIM would call it class analysis opposed to Liberalism.
In all the experiences we have seen applying to MIM, the accusation of bad-jacketing is one to oppose struggle. Usually behind the accusation is a white nationalist delusion about the number of revolutionaries.
It appears in one case where we are being asked about bad-jacketing, there is a question of what is going on inside MIM. Since MIM is penetrated all the time by spies, could they bad-jacket someone? Yes and no. Again, a false accusation could be made, but MIM does not hang our enemies in this stage of struggle. We have too many. We often find that people who leave MIM circles find themselves the most progressive in their new locale. Leaving sometimes helps line.
Contrary to Liberal criticisms of Marxism, we scientific communists have a strategy for the flow of information. If under the guise of pseudo-feminism or individual freedom from group control information ceases to flow, the revolutionary group structure has to take action to restore clarity. Some people just cannot be involved in a revolutionary group setting. If one is falsely accused in a revolutionary group setting, one should stand and fight, unless that group can be written off as hopelessly deluded, the way MIM writes off RCP=CIA for instance. MIM's position on purges being a good thing stems from Leninism and cannot be blamed on those who are not Leninist.
MIM's combination of positions is Leninist structure with a dim view of the imperialist oppressor nations. So if a spy or fool did manage to bad-jacket someone, but that someone was a vacillator or non-participant, it might be good for the party still. That's especially true if there was no violence involved. As it turns out, we are still learning from some struggles regarding COINTELPRO.
In the movies, in addition to sleeping with allied spies, James Bond also sleeps with females from criminal syndicates and the Soviet enemy. Let MIM blow open this question: it happens.
A womyn who sought out MIM on the streets and initiated the dating with a MIM comrade is due to make a revelation by rules for declassification in place in the united $tates now. However, contrary to those naive about the state, accurate documentation followed by declassification is not a given and MIM is not going to push this subject at the moment. Details on the covert component did not become available till this year.
MIM rules forbid the dating of state agents. Nonetheless, there were no difficulties in the relationship that is due for declassification. From all appearances it seemed reasonable, one that could easily have ended in marriage.
There have been other MIM relationships with covert state components. Some additional persynal interactions with either romantic or non-romantic components involved at least the parents' being spies. Drawing the line on the military, cops and spies becomes more and more challenging as the parasitic sectors of the imperialist countries grow.
