6916 [lbo-talk] the death penalty: Americans luv it -- rank: 190

That's a broad brush, WD. Is the Horatio Alger myth more popular in the death belt of the South, the handful of states (TX!!, VA, FL, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA) that account for the overwhelming majority of death sentences? Maybe some, but that can't be all. Can we ...

6922 [lbo-talk] Wealth Psychologists -- rank: 190

I agree with Doug & Woj about the nonrevolutionary effect of knowledge of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Wealthy-watching is a national sport. Conspicuous consumption is a national pastime, as Veblen noted a hundred years ago. Btw, I do note that the _kids_ of the rich can't help being ...

6925 [lbo-talk] new spirit of capitalism -- rank: 190

This seems to be a fairly good summation of some of the terrain of conflict. More than the other material, the question of a 'passive revolution' interests me. I haven't looked at the Gramsci in a while, but my understanding of his conceptualization of the term generally tended to be ...

6929 [lbo-talk] Can Leftists in the Iranian Diaspora Come to Terms with Iran? -- rank: 190

Now this is of another tone: at least you grant that Iranians may have more than adequate reason to feel ambivalent, and more than ambivalent, about the islamic republic. It is one thing to work tirelessly to remind -- and most of the time it's in fact reminding people of stuff ...
