9602 [lbo-talk] Nietzsche -- rank: 46

----- Original Message ----- From: "Miles Jackson" <cqmv at pdx.edu> Well, that's my point: this ideology is enforced formally in social institutions such as the courts. --I'm not making a moral argument here; I'm just pointing out that the trope of personal responsibility justifies social inequalities.

9605 [lbo-talk] Bakunin on Marx -- rank: 46

I just don't think this stuff can be discussed theoretically in any meaningful way. Theoretically, revolution from below -- created and worked through democratically by people -- is always best. But, in practical terms, it works out otherwise. Given the historical limitations, the Lenin/Trotsky revolution might have been the best thing ...

9610 [lbo-talk] Russians, was Bakunin on Marx -- rank: 46

But, in practical terms, it works out otherwise. Given the historical limitations, the Lenin/Trotsky revolution might have been the best thing possible in 1917. If you read Trotsky's "Revolution Betrayed" ( a very good book) as well as Marx, you will find that both writers had very strong reservations about ...
