Letter to the Editor; M-L Today

Why no heading on M-L Today about the need to rebuild and build the CPUSA by building Clubs?

What you are doing is making people think just what you claim to be against is that they can join any old left/Marxist party/organization and it will do.

I find it interesting that while taking issue with problems in the CPUSA most of your writers don’t seem to declare they are for building a strong CPUSA.

As a result when you publish the writings of non-members and those who are members of other left organizations like Glenn Ford or members of FRSO or social democrats like Bill Fletcher, Jr. what you are doing is suggesting to readers they go look into joining these other organizations… of course, you are never responsible for what others do because you don’t publish your names or, like I said, declare your support for the CPUSA. As a result, for all anyone knows you have a website intended to recruit people away from the CPUSA. After all; who knows your motivation and intent unless you declare it since you are too cowardly to post your names… in continuing this way you don’t fight Webb… you enable him to call you “ultra-left.”

Plus, not once have you ever written one single article encouraging people to initiate the building of Communist Clubs that are active in their communities/places of employment/schools around the “party line” (which you have also never stated which is a no-brainer that is easily expressed as:

peace = socialized healthcare + jobs with enforcement of affirmative action

It is very easy and simple for anyone to initiate building a Party Club around this party line and become involved in their communities/places of employment/schools--- this kind of campaign is so obviously required how are you missing this?

Feel free to post this as a “letter to the editor” on your M-L Today website with my name contact info; I’m posting this to my blog. Accountability stretches not to the Party leadership of Webb/Tyner/Marshall and those misleading… it stretches to all the critics, too.

You should have something across your masthead: Building a strong CPUSA; towards a united working class movement and people’s front--- with what the party line should be.

You also let your writers get away with quite a bit without any challenge to some of the outrageous claims they make… again, no accountability because your site is operated anonymously with many of the writers using pseudonyms and such writers know they are never accountable for anything.
