WL:>>As a practical question it never occurred to me to challenge individuals about their belief system and I generally work with people around specific issues that do not require philosophic debate as a precondition for activity. Further, I long ago gave up philosophic discussions under the banner of being "anti-philosophy." After all the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways. The communist approach is to more accurately describe the world in which we live as the basis to grapple with the practical questions facing the proletarian movement. I leave the great philosophic debates to my betters. <<
The irony being, I should think you could reach more people by trying to have philosophy debates and challenges of belief systems on an e-mail discussion list than you can in any curent 'proletarian movement'. To be quite honest, the communist movements to which you sometimes refer seem like more far-out fantasies than these discussions.
