This was my last reply, because they asked to set-up a time to talk but never replied or anything. I tried to ask but found I was unfollowed and some eventually blocked me when I inquired. Was is because I got sick? It was only a few days after their email.

Hm, that’s strange. Do you mind sending me the whole thread? They must have had some secret discussion, which seems to have led to a decision against continued discussion. That’s a decision that should lead to an appeal, allowing you to represent your case in front of the committee who made the decision. If someone slandered you to the committee, how could you defend yourself without testifying or cross-examining other witnesses. The lack of any such rights to due process should lead to a wider discussion in the party about the procedure for carrying on discussions with new members. A party that does not want to include willing participants will only sabotage its own cause, no differently from the union bureaucracy that sabotages the labor movement. We should try to uncover the individual or individuals behind the slander and force them to defend the decision in public or reverse it!

Can you send me the thread of messages that came before the last reply?

If you are still interested in political activity, I am always looking for help in the construction of a Democratic Power Faction to challenge the nano-bureaucracy for control of the SEP in order to defend the rights of party members, supporters, and contributors. This should protect the advanced workers in general who may come into contact with the party, its political writing, or its news articles. Ending the tyranny of this minority will make revolution possible and, as a result, inevitable.

Well, your writing had some signficant errors, such as refering to the party as the SCP, but so did Kayla’s. That’s why I don’t believe this was the reason they denied your membership application.

In my opinion, our best bet would be to write a letter and gather signatures from members, former members, and recruits who suffered from this rude and disloyal unprofessional bureaucratism.

You deserve credit for your defense of John Reed and the historical record on RT’s 1917 Live program. You did not deserve that unceremonious dismissal at the hands of a lowly nano-bureaucrat. In order for the revolution to succeed, the party will need to follow through on its tasks, including recruitment and training. Disorderly abandonment of a post, of important work, threatens the cause and poses important questions of discipline and responsibility.

At the very least, they owe you a letter explaining that they decided not to consider you for membership. In fact, this should include encouragement to return with another application after resolving certain issues, which they specifically name.

If you know of anyone else with similar experiences with the SEP, please share their contact information with me so we can compile a list of signatures for a formal letter demanding action on this issue.

Also, would you mind if I share these letters and my response on my blog?
