2009/12/23 Mark Lause <markala...@gmail.com>: '"America I will sell you strophes $2500 apiece $500 down on your old strophe." Philosophers, at least, solve the world, even if they aren't about changing it. This does not to that. None of the historical analogies made here hold any water whatsoever. The circumstances are far different than when mass protests pressured FDR...who invariably gets trotted out like a talisman rather than a materialist argument. Rather like Glen Beck mentioning Tom Paine. And the LBJ analogy is simply mind-boggling. There are nothing fresh among the indigestible ingredients in this tripe stew. You eat it when you have no options." Doğan ====== Well, well, Mark, your everyday understanding, the simplest form of thought, and the complexity of the world. From everyday understanding's point of view science/philosophy would go on its head, as already Hegel observed, one of the greatest thinkers as Karl Marx asserted. Thank you bringing the whole debate to the point. Indeed the whole debate about CPUSA is about scientific/philosophical view of politics or everyday understanding of politics. The former tries to view the world with all its complexities, the latter reduces everything into isolated singular facts. Not everything that makes noises is loud. Another paradox? Well, think about it!!! ------------ Dogan Göcmen http://dogangocmen.wordpress.com/ ________________________________________________ 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
