Regarding challenges to my leadership, we are stressing walking on two legs and not just emphasizing the lumpen. We are now insisting on the struggle of intellectuals as intellectuals, getting them to do things they can do for revolution that the lumpen usually cannot.
As more people become more capable in the counter-intelligence struggle this discussion becomes more plausible. As of now, we still have a big problem with right opportunism. People underestimate the cards we can play in the current terrain often because they cannot even perceive them from a lack of intellectual struggle. For example, we would like to make clear that the battle should be for total victory in the Ward Churchill case. We need to connect the dots on our team, because it is a little baffling that the enemy dares not to concede defeat already.
With regard to that, I want just to note that if anyone is having trouble contacting spies or if spies are playing dumb for news stories on Ward Churchill, we would like to hear about it. It's one thing if the media is too dumb or entertainment-oriented to take up the MIM- related piece of the Ward Churchill case. It's another thing if spies are not cooperating when the media does try to figure out what is happening. Otherwise, MIM is at peace with the spies. Our retaliations regarding Ward Churchill will not be aimed at spies, if the regents vote the wrong way. The deal we offered spies stands good unless we hear about media outlets that are unhappy.
I have come under criticism from both sides of a long-standing issue, even for exerting a persynality cult. The central issue regarding this alleged persynality cult is one where there has been a huge flip- flopping of positions by people concerning an issue of many years standing. The current flip has the benefit of wanting harder hitting on one particular issue, but it also comes along with an underestimation of what can be done overall in the class struggle at this moment. From long experience, the current flip probably comes from over-psychologizing the chair, a frequent exercise of cops.
To give an example why the struggle at this moment is more even than it looks, MIM has a news reporter mole at a Murdoch publication. We are grateful for the assistance from that mole.
There has been a big tension regarding what people should already know about MIM's current struggles. MIM has painted a certain picture of Amerika lately, but bourgeois journalists would want in some cases information that we have that could lead to slightly different conclusions. The bourgeois journalists would like to cover ground for themselves to see how it makes sense.
At this point, I am satisfied that MIM has painted a rather thorough picture if intellectuals wanted to pick up what MIM knows and carry on the struggle themselves. This is especially relevant as we want to give various people even including various spies and bourgeois journalists what we know since there have been many threats in the last year.
