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
