[edit] English Spelling

Why is "Ch" being used to transliterate "จ"? I have much more frequently seen "Jit" used in English. Not that I necessarily put much stand on this, but a google search of "Jit Phumisak" turns up about the same number (247 vs 277 respectively) as "Chit Phumisak"? My personal view is the sound is better represented in English as "J". --Goldsztajn 06:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CPT membership

I have read accounts which suggest that while Jit was sympathetic to the Communist Party, he was not actually a member. Does anyone have a reference confirming membership in the CPT? --Goldsztajn 06:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Death

Accounts on his death suggest shot by the military after he was reported being in the countryside by locals. --Goldsztajn 06:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marxism

No mention of Jit's Marxism, seems a glaring ommission given the basis of his most famous work is Marxist theory. --Goldsztajn 06:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
