My sole comnent at the moment is meta, if you will. What is it about marx(ist) polemic that it is so saturated with invective and insults? Whatever one thinks of Joti Brar, or her Father, or Brother, or the Party in the UK they lead, is ,”tantrum,” really appropriate? Tantrums are what it is ok to call, what little children under the age, say of 5, engage in, or our elders in their 80’s who have returned to the level of maturity and emotional affects of a 5 year old. I have a psychological block and political reticence to even consider reading marxist polemics that in their subject lines shout that the target had a tantrum. Something that if spot on, to me, is more apposite if witnessed face to face, not so much for piece of writing, on a webpage or printed on paper. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
