Unfortunately, the SWP never put Cannon's reply to Munis online and I don't even know if they still sell the pamphlet but I think it is one of the best things Cannon ever wrote. Here's an excerpt that was published by Workers Liberty. I would generally regard anything they deem worth publishing as suspect but take a pass in this case. http://www.workersliberty.org/node/8143 ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/rfidler_8%40sympati co.ca ________________________________________________ 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
