I have done some work in the past with James Heartfield's take on this, but unfortunately I cannot locate his book - lost somewhere in my library. It seems to me as a general position the Spiked on line mob in their move out of Marxism migrated along the ancient pathway to libertarianism inflected by Nietzscheanism with its trope of the chest beating heroic individual trapped between the unwashed and the indifferent. Nietzsche was and always will be an abiding temptation for the isolated intellectual in bad times. I am currently taking a look at Furedi's Culture of Fear Revisited. Some of the points he makes are undoubtedly valid but truth to tell I am on the opposite side of the fence from the libertarians most of the time. Any comments would be very welcome. ae Gary _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * Opening in New York and Los Angeles on Friday (locations are here), “Menashe” is an extraordinary film on a number of levels. To start with, it is first Yiddish-language film in nearly 70 years. The earlier films catered to Eastern European immigrants who were interested in being entertained just like English-speaking audiences but in their native language. As such, the plots were often fairly conventional with at least one Western that might remind you of “Johnny Guitar”. Since the audience for “Menashe” will likely be people who do not speak Yiddish, there are subtitles. Indeed, the only people who speak and read Yiddish nowadays, except for scholars, are the Hasidic Jews who live in Brooklyn and who do not go to movies, watch television or even go on the Internet. As the Jewish version of the Salafist sect in the Muslim world, the Hasidim are authoritarian-minded religious zealots who live in an insular, male-dominated society. As it happens, that is exactly the world that is portrayed in “Menashe”, which has a nonprofessional cast of Hasidim that took considerable risks in taking part in a film that while being respectful toward their traditions challenges some of their key practices. That indeed constitutes the central drama of the film. Menashe is a man in his late 30s who is attempting to raise his 10-year old son Rieven by himself after his wife has died. However, the sect he belongs to will not permit single parenting. A full year after her death, he is under intense pressure from his brother-in-law Eizek and religious authorities to turn Rieven over to Eizek. full: https://louisproyect.org/2017/07/25/menashe/ _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

This is not from the 1966 original series, but from the eighth Star Trek motion picture, "Star Trek: First Contact"(1996). It is not at all clear that the Vulcans were responsible for replicator rechnology. During my senior year at the Bronx HS of Science (1976), I published the school's first SF zine, Phaser Fire!, in which I wrote an essay exploring the socialist ideology of Star Trek. It was in response to one of many trashings of Star Trek in the Village Voice, this one penned by James Woolcott, whom Alexander Cockburn rightfully lambasted years later.

POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * A Poem for the Cruel Majority by Jerome Rothenberg The cruel majority emerges! Hail to the cruel majority! They will punish the poor for being poor. They will punish the dead for having died. Nothing can make the dark turn into light for the cruel majority. Nothing can make them feel hunger or terror. If the cruel majority would only cup their ears the sea would wash over them. The sea would help them forget their wayward children. It would weave a lullaby for young & old. (See the cruel majority with hands cupped to their ears, one foot is in the water, one foot is on the clouds.) One man of them is large enough to hold a cloud between his thumb & middle finger, to squeeze a drop of sweat from it before he sleeps. He is a little god but not a poet. (See how his body heaves.) The cruel majority love crowds & picnics. The cruel majority fill up their parks with little flags. The cruel majority celebrate their birthday. Hail to the cruel majority again! The cruel majority weep for their unborn children, they weep for the children that they will never bear. The cruel majority are overwhelmed by sorrow. (Then why are the cruel majority always laughing? Is it because night has covered up the city's walls? Because the poor lie hidden in the darkness? The maimed no longer come to show their wounds?) Today the cruel majority vote to enlarge the darkness. They vote for shadows to take the place of ponds Whatever they vote for they can bring to pass. The mountains skip like lambs for the cruel majority. Hail to the cruel majority! Hail! hail! to the cruel majority! The mountains skip like lambs, the hills like rams. The cruel majority tear up the earth for the cruel majority. Then the cruel majority line up to be buried. Those who love death will love the cruel majority. Those who know themselves will know the fear the cruel majority feel when they look in the mirror. The cruel majority order the poor to stay poor. They order the sun to shine only on weekdays. The god of the cruel majority is hanging from a tree. Their god's voice is the tree screaming as it bends. The tree's voice is as quick as lightning as it streaks across the sky. (If the cruel majority go to sleep inside their shadows, they will wake to find their beds filled up with glass.) Hail to the god of the cruel majority! Hail to the eyes in the head of their screaming god! Hail to his face in the mirror! Hail to their faces as they float around him! Hail to their blood & to his! Hail to the blood of the poor they need to feed them! Hail to their world & their god! Hail & farewell! Hail & farewell! Hail & farewell! _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

They go after Sonny Bunch not just because he is a conservative who says stupid shit, but because he is fat and looks funny. And Chapo is notorious for sneering at autistic people, The podcast's humor targets the different in numerous ways. That is considered "irreverence" and "honesty." Accents are funny. Feminism is a crock. Fat people and autistic people are ludicrous. Join us, alt right brothers; we'll all be cool kids together in a socialist utopia, where no elitists will stop us from spitting on the self-pitying marginalized folks who are oppressing us. I'm sure Chapo and its fans will be displeased at the suggestion that they are in any way Clintonian. To be fair, it's worth pointing out that the Clinton administration were centrist squishes on economic issues and on intervention, not just on the treatment of marginalized people. And Chapo has on occasion repudiated their own worst excesses. Last week Felix Biederman, one of the hosts, apologized for mocking rape victims on social media, as well as for using homophobic terms like "cocksucker" to taunt critics.
