Maoist Internationalist Movement - Demise of MIM?

Demise of MIM?

A post on the MIM website titled "Where we are at theoretically at the end", dated February 15, 2008, appears to announce the end of MIM. The post states that there will be no further posts on the MIM website, and announces a postmortem website, MIM Lite. According to the 2/15/2008 post on the MIM website, "There will be no new content here, no more stepping on toes and no defense of political gains if any. 'MIM Lite' will take up the few leftover tasks." While it is not said explicitly that MIM no longer exists as an organization, this is strongly implied and there appears to be no new activity subsequent to the 2/15/2008 post. In May 2008 it was announced that MIM Lite would be retired. In August a new blog was announced, called MIM Defense, with the stated purpose to "defend the leaders of ex-MIM, the Maoist Internationalist Movement, people who continue on the course of the anti-war and anti-imperialist struggles." The founder of RADACADS and MIM Henry Park went public in November 2008 after facing an unsubstantiated rape accusation from Ann England.

In January 2009, MIM's web host, The ETEXT Archives, ceased operations. The content formerly hosted by The ETEXT Archives, including MIM, is still available at the Maoist Internationalist Ministry of Prisons, and via the Internet Archive. MIM continues to publish articles at Wordpress.com.

MIM founder Henry Park died on May 17, 2011.
