Echidna Associated Society

The Division Division of the Trotboro of our Party has been watching a small, but allegedly growing pseudo-Humanist Trotskyite sect over the last two years known as the Platypus Affiliated Society. They proclaim the already tired slogan "The Left is dead! Long Live the Left!" Oh, how original!

Burning bridges and creating enemies, they appear to be a rival faction whose modus operandi largely boils down to a once-quarterly, now-sorta-monthly periodical filled with polemics against the Marxist Left, for the reconstitution of the so-called Marxian Left. ist versus ian! As overly intellectual academics, from their ivory towers they drop banners of Enlightenment and claim to be above the fray, while they admonish their cousins in the streets for having not learned the failures of the Pop Front strategy of the 1930s. Worst, they claim chapters in cities or campuses once they have one member there in existence. These soon-to-be-neocon monotremes have clearly taken a page from our playbook!

And so, our Division Division has responded with the creation of the aptly titled Echidna Associated Society, so named as its loosely associated scholarly members grab from many sectors of the egoistic and obfuscatory factional failures of the organizational Left. The sub-sub-sub-sect's now-sorta-weekly-but-really-annual periodical, the Echidna Response, will be due out by the next opportunity for student mobilizations.

Oft blamed for neglecting the actual working class, except where decertifying union battles occur, our talented and up-tempo General Secretary-Chairman now puts forth to the world our newest and least acclaimed of factions, the Echidna Associated Society. And so it be done.

News or Letters

As the Dunayevskayan influenced News and Letters Committees came to a factional end earlier this year, we applaud the comrades that had led the fight for the division into committees of News and their rivals, the committees of Letters. As capitalism is confronted in so much of the rest of the world by united fronts, it is good to see the dialectical bisection of more and more Marxist organizations in North America.

That we support the dissolution and division is apparent. The question for those that follow our positions is which do we support: News, or Letters?

News, that tantric waste of space that wallows in the hypocritical bog of ideological objectivity. Or Letters, in which personal privations may be learned and rumors spread. Read how many of Karl Marx's letters were biting polemics or sarcastic scoffs at contemporaries far behind their backs. It is clear, for the purposes of the sectarian revolution we call for, the CP(F) STANDS WITH LETTERS!
