Outbound: Responses as required to incoming correspondence.

Matters Arising:
B. Sarkar has completed and formatted our stipulated pamphlet, the HISTORY OF ECONOMICS and sent to Comrade Adam Buick for final editing.
The Membership Application Form of S. O. Macaulay was read and found to be erroneous on many points akin to the conformist Leninist views which we do not agree to. Already, B.Sarkar has sent him our basic literature for his study and comparison and to take time for resubmission. On 21 November 2015 he has sent the following email to him with three attachments – INTRODUCTION, WSP (I) MANIFESTO and RULES:
Comrade Sadare Macaulay,
Thanks.
I've read into your Membership Application Form. However, some of your answers are basically and factually erroneous. It seems, you have not gone through our literature. Do it now. You should take more time to deal with the questions and find accurate answers which we can agree to. You know ours is a leaderless participatory democratic party. So once a person becomes a member he/she will be on the same footing with all of us.
Therefore, begin with our INTRODUCTION at our website. Read it carefully to see the differences. Then read our Manifesto and Rules. Take notes as required. Ask me questions via emails, I'll gladly answer. Only then we'll be one on the same understanding about the facts.
Although we expect to take you in only after appropriate answers to our Questionnaire, I'll place it in our Executive Committee meeting on Sunday 6 December 2015 to inform our comrades about the development.
Yours for Socialism,
Binay Sarkar,
General SecretaryConrade Macaulay has sent three messages – “Is okay no problem”, “I got your message, thanks”, “Have read it and will still digest it”

MSC: That we arrange for printing 1000 copies of the pamphlet.
