It interesting to note what features of modernity Spike will approve of. They recently attacked Dawkins and Hitchens for threats to prosecute the pope over child abuse. Here they rub their hands gleefully at the decay of a culture and a people's language. what have these two seemingly unrelated phenomena got in common. My answer is that Spiked's version of modernity is very much that of the lamentable Herr Professor Nietzsche - a true weakling who had fantasies about virility and power and saying yes to life. So anything that smacks of weakness, such as counselling in disasters, or worrying about children being abused or fretting over a culture dying, is seen as a kind of nay saying to life and so it is degenerate and must be condemned by all the intellectuals with fantasies about having hairy chests etc. regards Gary ________________________________________________ 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
