I’d like to announce the birth of a new list for Marxists.  Mutual help, political cooperation, and comradely debate focused on issues and challenges, political and theoretical, is invited.  To register, visit its web page at:

Hi Geert,

I don’t know about other Marxists, but in my case I do because that’s easiest, most economical for me right now.  This is to a large extent due to the fact that I’m not technologically sophisticated.  Having said that, if we grow as a list and this Google thing becomes too much of a constraint, then we’ll move the list to some other venue.  First things first.

Thanks for your interest,

Julio
