376 [lbo-talk] Re: lbo-talk Digest, Vol 32, Issue 8 -- rank: 858

I agree that bit right there is the most dubious of what I'm throwing out- I'd be more interested in what you think of the general thrust of that argument (that people should go where and do what leftists don't do much of yet). And I don't ...

Jim Straub: Maybe it reeks of presumption for a 26 year old to dispense such advice so freely... But I don't think it's crazy for us to assume that as a movement, we have enough folks organizing in Berkeley, Madison, teaching lit crit at fancy colleges, writing books about ...

It's a touchy thing to get into--- who works hard, who works right, who is to blame for our historic weakness as a class and movement. I don't want to broadly indict college people for being college people. And it is good to have a small bastion in at ...

Of course I went to the website before I wrote and read up on the subject. "You are discrediting this struggle with claims that are overblown to the point of silliness. Many leftists try and lend themselves credibility by attaching their arguments to the suffering of brutally-treated people, using that ...

The organizer, Aragorn!, of the San Francisco Eastbay group that holds theory discussion had a 'nihilism for children' coloring book, and was selling a board game developed ...
