May 2006, Central Task Report

    MIM's central task: "to create public opinion and the independent institutions of the oppressed to seize power."

    May, 2006 goes down in MIM history as the month we conservatively and officially passed 100,000 readers per month, with over 104,000. Each reader averaged taking 2.7 files.

    By the beginning of June, we found that we had passed the Cuban government's webpage for Granma again for web traffic, something we did not really expect for the foresseable future. We expect to have less web traffic than government newspapers. On the other hand, on the strength of recent demonstrations for migrants and against the war, Workers World has spent most of the last two months ahead of MIM for traffic. Another interesting comparison is that chess-champion-turned-politician Kasparov's new Liberal webpage for Russian news is about equal to MIM's in traffic despite having support of car dealerships and other bourgeois institutions of Russia. Kasparov's is by far the most popular Liberal web page in Russia.

    I would like to stress the importance of contributions from non-usual writers, people who may think they cannot do much but in fact end up contributing unique material. This past month, users took 1900 copies of a file about a videogame called "Fallout." Also the top file for the subject of Nepal was in Chinese, more than double the traffic for the next closest file on that subject. So it's important not to let any odd petty-bourgeois narrowing of our all-conquering attitude. It's very hard to say what people are going to find interesting, but we can put up a fight against bourgeois dominance in all areas.

    These last two months saw an increase in readership of our gender-related files, with 181 takings of our third most popular gender section file on Jennifer Wilbanks for example.

    We thank writers who send in the occasional odd file and also one comrade financially supporting web page work.
