3468 [lbo-talk] Mark Ames on Pussy Riot -- rank: 149

Yeah, agreed Ames' piece is tepid and. worse, not very insightful. I am so deeply confused. These stunts -- or rather the mentality behind them -- are so nineteenth century. What the fuck? How is desecrating a church radical? It's about as petit bourgeois as it gets. I guess I have to ...

3476 [lbo-talk] Obama and His Discontents -- rank: 149

Here's the rub.  The Democrats will never have to pay a price on the left unless there is a credible threat of defection on the left.  There are only two ways this can happen, AFAICT.  One would be abstention by the left, reflecting the judgment that the difference between Democrats ...

3477 [lbo-talk] Obama reelection prospect -- rank: 149
