[Marxism] the end of Johann Hari's fledgling reputation
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == If anyone cares: upstart imperial apologist / Orwell prize winning man of the left Johann Hari (The Independent, Huffington Post) has finally met his comeuppance. Years of plagiarism uncovered starting with, ironically enough, an interview with Negri concerning truthfulness: http://deterritorialsupportgroup.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/hari-karihackery/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jun/28/johann-hari-twitter-plagiarism Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] Banksy on the Hollywood homeless
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == This is a story about an elephant. A metal, metaphorical elephant that for two weeks grazed beside a dual highway next to the Pacific Ocean in an upscale neighbourhood of Los Angeles. It was created last month by Banksy, the elusive British street artist. And in a few short weeks, it has sparked fierce debate about such diverse topics as greed, homelessness, wealth, poverty, the genius of the man who made it and the sheer, unbridled insanity of the contemporary art market he (sort of) inhabits. full: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/did-banksys-latest-work-bring-misery-to-a-homeless-man-2246336.html Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] Assange evidence falling apart - leaked report
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == Doesn't seem to have been widely reported: New revelations show forensic investigators have failed to find DNA on a condom which prosecutors allege Mr Assange deliberately broke during intercourse. A second alleged victim said she woke to find Mr Assange having sex with her, but let him continue although she knew he wasn't wearing a condom. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-sex-file-on-wikileaks-founder-is-itself-leaked-2205083.html Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
[Marxism] Zizek: Egypt, Tunisia test of Western democracy... Mubarack to the Hague
== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. == The hypocrisy of western liberals is breathtaking: they publicly supported democracy, and now, when the people revolt against the tyrants on behalf of secular freedom and justice, not on behalf of religion, they are all deeply concerned. Why concern, why not joy that freedom is given a chance? Today, more than ever, Mao Zedong's old motto is pertinent: There is great chaos under heaven – the situation is excellent. full: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/feb/01/egypt-tunisia-revolt Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
