Porol sometimes has a nasty approach that is not helpful. He seems to think labeling people, or writing "lol" after their posts, is an argument.
Let me make some proposals:
a) let's change the name of the RCP thread from "Maoists...." to the "The RCP on the Multinational Proletariat."
I too think the RCP are maoists, and MIM is rather bizarre identity politics. But a name change for the thread might help make things clearer.
b) I think all the MIM posts should be on their own single thread, so we can read them in one place, and so we don't need to have them scattered everywhere.

Porole:
We are all working hard to raise the level of debate. To focus on cardinal issues. To be principled. To produce a discussion that can actually enlighten people who read it.
And you immediately inject a cheezy little dig (about maoist and MIM blah blah ) that immediately brought down the level of debate, and injected a petty tone.
Instead of discussing cardinal issues, the thread suddenly breaks into petty bullshit.
Stop it. Why don't you apply the method of the RCP, instead of just talking about it?
Stop arguing by labeling. Dump that nasty know-it-all edge you always carry. Stop treating other people in debate like they are all a bunch of dishonest little shits.
Thanks.
Perhaps a little self-criticism on your part would also be helpful.

I agree very much with eat the's criticism of me.
My intention is not to lower debate or sights on this website, but as an arena to learn and interact with others.
I still have a lot to learn about maoism and a Maoist method, thanks for helping me along this path eat the world.
