511 [lbo-talk] not theory -- rank: 1000
On Jan 25, 2012, at 11:38 PM, Tahir Wood wrote: > The Leninist baggage of What is to be Done? I don't know about anyone else, but I have always found quite funny the image of Lenin running into the library to get a copy of Hegel's Logic to read after hearing of Kautsky's betrayal. Lenin seems to have had a really mechanistic and naive view of the relationship between theory and practice. Which is why he didn't amount to a hill of beans?

On the news that Lincoln had been assassinated, the Manchester Guardian said of his rule, we can never speak except as a series of acts abhorrent to every true notion of constitutional right and human liberty (27 April 1865). Manchester liberalism lives!
