Hi. Firstly, when I send a message here, it should already be presumed that I am "[l]eaving aside the IMF's obvious sado-monetarist reflexes - the usual panegyrics to deficit-cutting, privatization and related madness." I am not a right-winger, nor do I assume any reader of LBO-talk ...

Welcome Aaron: I am happy to assume Albert's take on Chomsky is accurate - many folks don't like strong, clear, oh-just-get-to-the-point-already argumentative style, but that's primarily their problem - as I was taught by Richie Schuldenfrei and Jim O'Connor - guys what suffered fools ...

The Albert quote says more nicely a thought that got lost the other day on my end: I am not inclined to argue about linguistics for multiple reasons. Sometimes on politics, Chomsky's delivery comes across more like sermons than discussion. It's certainly true that there is a category of ...

Aha, but there are also vast differences between Appalachia and the Appalachian trail. Other than good old fashioned list bickering, whats the point of this? FWIW, my experience has always been that americans, in comparison to other industrialized societies, are not well-traveled in their country or others. *Especially* in other ...

Certainly many CP members fought in Spain, but I believe that a large number of the International Brigades were 'merely' radicals or anti-fascists, not CP organizers. You have, I presume, been in demonstrations organized by the party you once belonged to. Was not the proportion, even counting "rank & file party ...
