http://critiqueofcrisistheory.wordpress.com/is-russia-imperialist/ I've never belonged to a political party, probably never will. The price of admission always seems too high. Someone from the FMLN once asked me to marry his sister, for example. So when I first stumbled upon this forum some years back, all the talk of tendencies, fractions, splits, etc., was very foreign to me. I've noticed how people form emotionally strong attachments to, or against, whatever failed socialist project they may have been part of in the past, and how these emotions become intertwined with political positions on any given issue. I tend to mistrust emotionally-laden arguments, especially when they are laced with expletives. For this reason I always try to read both "sides" to an issue, whether or not I may agree or disagree with either point of view. The blog above, by some economist named Sam Williams, was quoted by the author of the piece from Links. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
