I'm a great admirer of Reed. He can be a bit dry, which means he would not make a suitable demagogue. I mentioned him some days ago, without giving the reference for his article: Obama, no by Adolph Reed, Jr. http://www.progressive.org/mag_reed0508 My

Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Wright and "leftbrain /rightbrain"

Actually, all this means is that Wright is just another crackpot black cultural nationalist, a typical obscurantist mediocrity produced by black nationalism. It's bad enough to be a preacher, but to peddle this ignorant bullshit makes one wonder why Obama was so impressed by him. At 05:35 PM 5

[Marxism-Thaxis] Wright and "leftbrain /rightbrain"

In his talk to the Detroit NAACP dinner , Rev. Wright discussed linguistics (Black and Standard English) . He mentioned the old "left-brain/rightbrain" thingy from about 30 years ago. His dichotomy was "subject thinking" /object thinking". As I thought about it later, this could be "subject think

Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] [lbo-talk] Getting some business that Magic Barry ain't got

The LBO archives are filled with talk that now exceeds the combined collected works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Mao, Kim Il Song and Kim Il Jong. We should have by now theory and planning, policy and thought to beat the bourgeoisie. No worry that elaborating a coalition-front--a

Interesting what people focus on. Naturally they are interrelated, but I only thought about domestic policy, i.e. what happened to the New Deal/Great Society contingent which looms large in the destiny of the Democratic Party. I wouldn't expect much different from anyone on foreign policy, but

[Marxism-Thaxis] much of what is wrong with obama

The right wingers see it clearly. He polls weaker than Kerry--and that was weak. His one hope is that McCain is a nasty puke who is a weaker campaigner than Dole and seems to be about as mentally capable as Reagan in his second term. You might also think Obama could force McCain to actually follow
