if you are having trouble with the text we will be more then happy to sum it up for you if you e-mail us. We just wanted to make sure that the records on communism were set straight!

But can you be counted on to sum it up in a way that is neither subjective nor imposing on our belifes?

: It also appears to us that nat has not one clue about communism! And he also states many times (indirectly) that he will never change his views so I call upon all you fellow comrades to write to nat to eventually set him right and take his views off this evil capitaism! He has never even read anything on communism (as so it apperars) since his ideas on communism that are so immature and non-researched! His viwes are very corrupt and I just wish he would have an open mind so he could understand our fundementals.

Open mind? What? It sounds to me as if you are trying to impose your views upon him. Why can't you just accept his belifes and leave it at that? All of this debat is very stimulating and I feel that I am expanding myself when I engage in it. But I don't appreciate it when those who hold veiws that are different from mine try to impose them upon me. Setting your ideas out on the table to be debated is fine, in fact it is very healthy, but don't force your ideas on someone else.

: Nat please continue looking at this web page within the next 5 days becuase we (Comrades Zeus and October) will do everything in our power to proove Nat's writings and views wrong vis. (it means "that is") Nat's writings and views that are in fact wrong... and we will support anything that is of course right! Nothing personal of course.

Now you are trying to define what is right. I feel that my view are right. Nat feels that his view are right. You, of course, feel that your views are right. In fact, you nor I nor Nat really knows what is right. When you think you do, that is when bad things happen. Nothing is absolute. We are all here to get closer to absoluteness, but we will never, ever know for sure what is really right. Just when you think that you are sure, that is the first indication that you are wrong. That is the only thing, they only thing that is absolute. You can't just tell somebody that they are wrong and then try to tell them what you feel is right. The only person who can decide what Nat thinks is right is Nat.

Thank you for your time,
Cara
