An Interesting exchange between an American acitivist (calls himself a communist & runs a communist project under the name KASAMA) & an Indian so-called communist. Please read. Harsh Thakorposted toMike Ely 2 hours ago Hi Harsh, We have disabled your account because of a series of concerns. The final concern came to us from an editorial of Peoples March, relating to suspicions around you and serious security questions in India. Are you able to answer their public concerns? But also: we have been concerned that readers mistakenly think your writings represent the views of Indian Maoists. We are actively eager for our site to share news and analysis of the Indian revolution. But we find your posts particularly dogmatic in a way that hurts the Indian Maoists, rather than helping to generate solidarity and interest. My reply (Harshs reply) Please without fail re-activate my account.I have put lot of work into my writings on Kasama and worked overtime to promote the goal of disseminating information.I have written nothing derogatory about the C.P.I.(Maoist) and infact gone out of the way to defend their credibility of being genuine revolutionaries and Maoists.I have also gone out of the way to promote the debating spirit of Kasama.If you wish you can edit my works and reject them but please allow me to continue atleast posting on polemics like International Line,Avakianism,dissent.Etc.If you wish I wont write on the Indian Maoists. I clarified the point with Govindan Kutty,editor of Peoples March.He apologized for the error and stated that he had not read any of my writings.(Nor had anyone remarked about them)Even Professor G.N.Saibaba found nothing derogatory in my writings and said it was an error to suspect me.Do read Govindan Kuttys apology.(in peoples march-March 2012)I have even participated in programmes of Commitee for release of Political Prisoners.Infact Prof Saibaba never doubted my credibility.I circulate Jan Pratirodh organ of R.D.F which is posted to me.Many people were critical of the editor of Peoles Marchs stand,who himself was ready to apologize. Kasamas spirit was to promote debate.As a sympathiser of revolutionary movement I posted articles.What was derogatory about peasant struggle in Punjab.Peasant movement in Bihar ,Tarimela Nagi Redy and Harbhajan Sohi,or critique of New Synthesis or even my evalution of the Maoist party..Infact comrades like Otto even appreciated my writings and posted them.Is.I personally appeal to you to re instate me otherwise it will hurt my feelings a lot.If you do not like something you can cut it.I am almost certain I have not hurt Indian Maoists.Even Scott Harrison was critical of Kutty. If there is a problem I will get some people to confirm my credibility.Can you call Bernard dmellow a spy? I may have been at variance with the views of kasama on Stalin which I openly expressed and on its approach to Leninist polemics .I cant express how much I wish to thank Kasama project for endorsing my contributions and allowing debate like no blog,particularly on India. Please take personal action to re-activate my account.I am personally appealing to you and the administrators of Kasama.Infact somebody said that the work disseminated was useful on he movement in India.I ma deeply hurt by this step and will try to convince you that I have not hurt anyone.
