The previous Pacifica top, Pat Scott, would denounce her critics as racists, sexists, and homophobes (she's a black lesbian). They're also using Ma ...

38913 Burchill on the rancid middle -- rank: 1000
Guardian (London) - July 16, 1999 A CLASS ACT So, John Prescott is miffed with his father for reminding him of his proletarian roots. Julie Burchill, working class girl made good, wonders why the deputy PM is so keen to join the middle classes I've wanted to be many things in my life. I've wanted to be a Jew, a lesbian, a slut and even, for six weeks when I was 10, a horse. One day, when I grow up, I hope to be a writer. But I have never, ever wanted to be middle-class. And I fail to understand ...

38921 Arrighi on Balkan war -- rank: 1000
[From the MLG list; apologies for the length but it seems worth it.] THE BALKAN WAR AND US GLOBAL POWER by Giovanni Arrighi It will take time before anyone will be in a position to draw a minimally reliable balance sheet of the Balkan War that has just ended. From the point of view of the humanitarian objectives for which it was ostensibly fought, all we can do for now is to join Pope John Paul II in declaring its outcome an unmitigated "defeat of humanity." Beyond that, any kind of ba ...

Chuck Grimes wrote: >Why do you post this shit? Because it's symptomatic of where rightwing thought & propaganda are going; they've left the Bell Curve way behind.
