You know, I have never met any of the Communist Party of Great Britain 
comrades in person (since I'm not from the UK), so I don't know what their 
practice is like, but their analysis of political developments worldwide 
and their prescriptions for the way forward tend to be so completely 
right-on that I am really floored.  If I were British I would be in the 
CPGB.

I'd appreciate it much if some of the CPGB members would participate in 
these discussions more often than the weekly posting of what's in their 
newspaper.  I realize that e-mail discussions are not a political priority, 
but I think we can learn a lot from eachother.
