Saludos, Juan Carlos - it has been awhile since we have spoken. As I have been out of party politics for 3 years I cannot contribute much to the current discussion. I think that Jorge is right that the press and others will certainly be alert to any schisms in the ML. If Raul the ideologue could not maintain libbie principles then who? In the time that I was associated with the ML I saw many good people come and go, including one of the founders, Rigoberto Stewart. My friend Rolando Leiva also gave up on them. Party politics always leads to pragmatic decisions.

We should all stand back and think about what it means to participate in politics. Apart from the famous 'sanction of the victim' there is another aspect: One cannot transfer a power that one does not possess to another. I cannot empower(vote for) another person to tax or rob others. Libertarians cannot honestly participate in politics.

What is the solution? Education. We must get out there and educate other individuals, in much the same way as the Mormons and other sects try to spread their ideas.

Any recourse to coercive means is hypocritical and counterproductive.

Note to Jorge: If you have any ideas on promoting CR as a libby haven please share them with me. Guacimo
