Censorship by Indymedia!

Mike Lane | 19.08.2004 10:52 | Liverpool | London

Why is Indymedia removing certain postings? Postings, which nearly always act as a catalyst to critical debate? Who’s censoring Indymedia? Is it an anarchist comrade or someone connected with the SWP?

Who’s editing Indymedia? I’ve just had an email from Kai Anderson in which he relates the fact that you are editing his postings. I have also noticed that certain postings that were on Indymedia for a couple of days have been removed, especially posting which deal with the issue of the proletariat and the bourgeois. This would indicate that there is someone new editing Indemedia.

It is widely accepted that our anarchist comrades are involved with Indymedia in the UK and we respect the hard work you put into it. Surely as anarchists you should respect the views of other left wing groups, even though they might be different than yours?

I am a left wing member of the SLP, but I also follow the teachings of Paulo Freire and the Frankfurt School of thought. Certain far left wing groups have always viewed Freire, especially the SWP, as an anarchist.

Please comrade, whoever you are, take it easy on the censoring.
