Criticism is good because it allows us to learn from our strengths and
weaknesses to advance in the cause of the masses politically  and ideologically. If
a political current wants to criticize BO  for its practices, that's fine. It
is a pity that Fenton would see a criticism  as "slanderous rant". As a
supporter of BO, I criticize them too when necessary  because our political Current
believe in criticism and self-criticism as a  means to grow politically and
ideologically. What I said in my post had nothing  to do with BO. It is my sole
responsibility because I am not BO. My  criticism of both Haiti Progres and
Fenton were based on gross contradictions in  their article in the March 14-20,
2007 issue of Haiti Progres about PAPDA and  Batay Ouvriye. The main
contradiction was this: how are you able to talk  about PAPDA and BO when you prefer
to whitewash the lavalas bureaucratic  bourgeiosie under the leadership of
former President Jean Bertrand Aristide and  the other Gran Manje (Big Eaters) in
the Fanmi Lavalas Party and his government  that violated Haiti's Sovereignty
by coming with an occupation in 1994-1995, and  calling for the present
occupation again in late 2003 and early 2004 together  with the opposition? It seems
strange to me and many other thinking  organizations and people that you
would focus your attacks strictly  on organizations that have proven their
integrity, determination, and  independence on the ground in fighting against
imperialist domination of  our country for the past 22 years until today. If the
funding issue is your only  gripe against BO, then you are looking at the tree and
not the forest. That's  called provocation. BO is the only Independent
Workers Movement created and  controlled by Workers on the ground in Haiti today.
Further, it is really  unfortunate that you are not the "likes" of M. Pierre who
has  been very consistent and resolute in support of the Haitian Workers and
Toiling Masses' Struggles, and Workers around the world. When are you going
to  make the decision to put your talent in the service of the Working Class
instead  of their oppressors and exploiters?
M. Pierre
