For some time now I’ve been trying to anticipate how the cartoonish anti-imperialist position is going to play out, as and when reality makes it increasingly impossible to maintain the simplistic and untenable: Will it take the form of a slow reorientation, possibly imperceptible to the person making it, so that they come out the other side insisting they had “always believed” something or other contrary to the Baathist apologetics they engage in now? Or will there be some kind of genuine reckoning and admission? My money’s on the former. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
