The only thing I know about these guys is that they have a website at
http://www.angelfire.com/co/socialism/recall, of their discussion, a statement of intent, subscription
information. Seemingly it is a sublist of lennist-international and is
moderated by Jim Hiller and someone called Sven Buttler.
