Again, I don't see why these two topics (how socialism should be organized & immediate
issues, tactics, and strategies) are mutually exclusive. If you're not interested in
the
first topic, you don't have to read what pen-l people have to say. (You could filter
your
messages so that all messages with subject lines including the word "socialism" are
automatical sent to the trash can.) But just because you're not interested in a topic
doesn't mean that pen-l can't discuss it. As far as I can tell, the only person who has
that kind of say is Michael Perelman.
BTW, what type of people _should_ be discussing issues of how socialism should be run?
Don't you think a bunch of professional economists and economically-literate folks
could
add something?
