He has the bad habit of adopting "sock puppet" persona on listserv's, most recently as "Abu Hartal", the diehard Obama supporter. He was unsubbed from Doug Henwood's list for using multiple identities, something Doug strongly objects to. I unsubbed Hartal/Bhandari from Marxmail after he became increasingly nasty. That left Bhandari with his sole identity, namely as himself. Quite honestly, I was not prepared for this latest bout of pro-imperialist statements, something that was not part of his track record. But somewhere along the line, he morphed into a liberal. I did not see it coming, except through his Hartal identity. Frankly, there's something about all this that defies a political analysis. It rather presents itself as the behavior of an intellectually unstable personality. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
