style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB">My name is Gudmund Kollung
Selvåg from Bergen West- Norway. In Norway no party are member or observer of
EL. Therefore we have need for a EL-group in Norway . Perhaps <SPAN

Groups who could cooperate with other groups or individual members all over
Europe. A group who can organize new members and perhaps put pressure on the
norwegian left parties to join EL.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-GB

groups like that.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

among the left. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

different type of groups. I can understand the board of EL, they dont like
somebody to form rival “parties” inside EL. And you dont have to do that, there
are other ways to bring out internationalism and international <SPAN

members. The best way are to read and discuss the works of Karl Marx, to find
out what is marxism in our world today. What is the way to go. Perhaps the
capitalist system are on<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>its edge,
shall leftist and marxist try to decorate this system, to give it a human toutch
or shall we entomb it. That is the big question for the left and for
EL.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
