Johannes Schneider wrote: >because Essen is proletarian and Dusseldorf is much more bourgeois? Essen didn't look very proletarian to me. What struck my eye was that all the construction in Essen was new, and very ugly, because the city was flattened during WW II, while Dusseldorf still had some old buildings (and the Rhein). Doug

Gertrude Himmelfarb sees it as a struggle between competing elites, in which the left originated a counterculture that the right failed to hol ...

Yoshie Furuhashi wrote: >Hey, what's wrong with Essen? Can't be any worse than Columbus, Ohio, USA? Never been to Columbus, so I can't say. Squat gray ugly buildings and not much Gemutlichkeit on offer in Essen. Nearby Dusseldorf is far more agreeable, though maybe it helped that I enjoyed Hinrich Kuhls's hospitality there. Doug

Yoshie Furuhashi wrote: >Well, Lenin wasn't such a simpleton. No, he wasn't a simpleton, unlike many of today's Leninists. But he wrote Imperialism at a time when it looked like the German model of state-sponsored, bank-run cartels were the wave of the future. They weren't.
