MIM Notes Fixes Typewriter

ANN ARBOR�Members of the left-wing Maoist Internationalist Movement are ecstatic about a recent advancement which they believe will lead to a greater ability to spread their message of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. After nearly a decade of using a substandard, malfunctioning typewriter to produce copies of their journal "MIM Notes," the movement has finally raised enough funding, through bucket drives and prisoner subscriptions, to have its typewriter fixed.

The faulty typewriter led to widespread and notorious spelling errors in MIM Notes. Particularly problematic were words containing the letters "c" or "s."

Such inaccuracies are a thing of the past, says MIM Notes Editor-in-Chief MIM Comrade 259. "Today is an important day in the internationalist struggle to create a new working class consciousness." MC 259 acknowledged that in the past the poor spelling in the paper may have contributed to the group's unpopularity and lack of respectability. "While we were trying to get across serious information defending Mao's Great Leap forward, or arguing that the Chinese Cultural Revolution is the greatest achievement in human history, these spelling errors made us appear ridiculous. Perhaps now we may become as respected as the Michigan Review."

Improvements to the ailing typewriter included the repositioning of the "c" key, which had previously been in the "k" key's spot, and the loosening up of the "k" key, which had been known to stick.

"No longer will we have to be ashamed at our message of justice and equality! We can stand tall and proud!" said a MIM supporter who asked not to be identified.
