[Dissent-bristol-info] RE: Info 4 Action day updates / action

Thu Feb 17 11:34:18 GMT 2005

My understanding is that Usma is an anti-capitalist and not a state 
socialist - on that basis I'm more than happy to have her talk as 
part of the opening session - to more disparate voices from within 
the broader movement we get, the better, IMHO.
