1381 [lbo-talk] Individualism/subjectivity -- rank: 1000
Michael Dawson, rightly: "As has been abundantly shown in this thread, most (not all) leftists scornfully dismiss individualism." Anyone in the Newcastle, UK, area on Thursday night can see me and Ray Tallis debating biological determinist Rita Carter on this very subject: Whatever Happened to the Subject? http://www.thegreatdebate.org.uk/WHSubject.html Or read my book 'The "Death of the Subject" Explained' http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0863399665/ref=ase_thegreatd ...

1382 [lbo-talk] Spanish vote - not necessarily good news -- rank: 1000
Nice to see the American comrades galvanised to say something about the terrible slaughter in Madrid. Jim Farmelant: "if the bombing was done as an act of protest against Spanish support for the invasion of Iraq, then it seems that it succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations." Yes, in a round about way. But you don't see a problem in the fact that the course of the election was turned around by a bomb? My point was that the bombers' actions were not really protesting Spain's invo ...

1383 [lbo-talk] Spanish vote -- rank: 1000
The WEEK ending 14 March 2004 SOCIALIST DEFEATISM IN SPAIN Tonight Spain s Socialist Party claimed victory in the general elections with 43 per cent of the vote counted as against the Popular Party s 36 per cent. The turnout, of course, was high, following popular revulsion at the slaughter of around two hundred Spaniards in railway bombings centred on Madrid on Thursday. The bombing was peculiarly misconceived, if as claimed, a protest against Spanish support for the invasion of Iraq last year. ...

1384 [lbo-talk] Blameless Prime Minister -- rank: 1000
The WEEK 14 July 2004 The Culture of Blamelessness The pronouncements were not true, but nobody lied. The intelligence was flawed, but not the decisions. The justifications were wrong, but the war was justified. Lord Butler's report into the pre-war intelligence on Iraq was commissioned by the British government in one of many attempts to draw a line under the Iraq war. The Prime Minister accepted that there were 'mistakes' and took 'full responsibility for them' - but excused himself on the gro ...

1386 [lbo-talk] 20 years since the Miners' Strike -- rank: 1000
The WEEK ending 25 January 2004 'STRIKE: WHEN BRITAIN WENT TO WAR' Channel Four's documentary marking twenty years since the start of the year-long miners' strike was a ghoulish exercise in nostalgia. Told largely from the point of view of student 'sympathisers' at the time, the documentary ended up as a pop-sociology account of the way Britain had moved on from heavy industry, leaving the miners' way of life redundant as they were. National Union of Students' leader Phil Woolas joined author Jo ...

1387 [lbo-talk] ...where angels fear to tread (was Wolf v Bloom) -- rank: 1000
I can't believe that the comedic value of Doug Henwood, Paul Childs, John Lacny and James Heartfield debating Katie Roiphe and Camille Paglia's claim to the title 'feminist' is hard to get. Doug puts a lot of store by a conversation some years ago, but I'm guessing hasn't read either 'The Morning After' (my notes from 1994 read 'brilliantly written'), or 'Last night in paradise'. So Roiphe didn't know that Gloria Steinem had dealings with the CIA. (Lots of Frankfurt school fans don't know that ...

1388 [lbo-talk] Wolf and Bloom -- rank: 1000
First Doug tells us that men are not qualified to judge the question of sexual harrassment, then Doug and Paul Childs disqualify Camille Paglia and Katie Roiphe from the title feminist. Of course Paglia is an academic, a former student of the accused Bloom and a published author; Roiphe's two books are on the harrassment issue (quite what the sales figures in comparison to Doug's economy books tells us is anyone's guess). But no, Roiphe and Paglia's credentials have been rejected by the feminist ...

1389 [lbo-talk] Rwanda and racism -- rank: 1000
The categories of race and genocide really don't help to increase our understanding the conflict in Rwanda in the early 90s. I am not of course suggesting that the slaughter was not conducted on racial (or ethnic) lines. But assimilating the Rwanda conflict to the psychological theory of race (which teaches that every group needs an 'other' for its own self definition) only suceeds in dispelling the specific character of what happened. The Belgian colonists imposed a social differentiation betwe ...

1390 [lbo-talk] Spiritual vacuum -- rank: 1000
The WEEK ending 22 February 2004 SPIRITUAL VACUUM As Prime Minister Tony Blair assures the News of the World that he has no intention of standing down, the signs are that the Third Way has been mislaid. There are no less that 14 000 British Muslim converts and foremost among them are Joe Ahmed-Dobson and Yahya Birt - sons of former Labour Minister Frank and government advisor John respectively. Two government advisors, Joe Moore (who e-mailed government departments that September 11 would be a g ...

1391 [lbo-talk] Confusion over harrassment -- rank: 1000
Both Doug and Joanna cite comments of the kind 'you're only here because of your sex' at universities as evidence of sexual harrassment. But that seems to be of a different order to the allegations that Naomi Wolf puts against Harold Bloom - that he thrust his hand between her legs. I wouldn't have called the first an example of *sexual* harrassment. It's prejudice, but not harrassment, and defintely not sexual harrassment. Rushing to generalisations about sexism at Universities seems to me to a ...

1392 [lbo-talk] qualified to speak? -- rank: 1000
Doug H. says to Frank Scott "Maybe you're not the most appropriate person to pass judgment on the severity of sexual harassment as a social problem." Why not? Do we have to qualify to speak on different topics now? On what grounds? Gender? Race? I would prefer to judge people's points than deamnd to see their qualifications.

1394 [lbo-talk] Miles: Very Jung and easily Freudened -- rank: 1000
Miles on fealty to Freud: "1. It assumes that knowledge is a thing produced by some smart guy or gal, and we need to cherish that brilliant person's insights. In my view, this completely misrepresents how knowledge develops. Especially in scientific fields, knowledge is a communal process that emerges from collaborations and conflict among many different people; it is not a nugget of wisdom created by an individual." But even if there is collaboration, you cannot abstract from real in ...

1395 [lbo-talk] Freud - substantially correct -- rank: 1000
"Freud is truly in a class of his own. Arguably no other notable figure in history was so fantastically wrong about nearly every important thing he had to say. ..." Sometimes you have to scratch your head and wonder how people with so little to add have such strong opinions on those who have substantially shaped the thinking of the age. Nine times out of ten, it is Freud who is right, and his critics who are snared in childish errors. Take the 'infantile seduction' controversy. Freud's ...
