I had your posts confused with the individual who posts on Marxmail as Ruthless Critic of All That Exists. Sounds like Marxmal all right! I would bet in answer to the current crisis Louis Proyect published a film review and posted Swans links. However, that is not to deny that in the early

That is correct too. In the late 1940s, he was part of a movement to found a new radical left party that would provide an alternative to the PCF. However, when the cold war began to heat up in earnest, especially after the outbreak of the Korean War, Sartre shifted to a very pro-Soviet stance,

I believe that in the late '40s Sartre was anti-Stalinist and highly suspicious of the USSR. He tried to found a third way movement, which interested Richard Wright, who had recently gone into exile in France. At 09:08 PM 10/9/2008, Jim Farmelant wrote: On Thu, 9 Oct 2008 10:09:38 +0900 CeJ

What a useless piece of shit Badiou is. His politics are even more worthless than his philosophy. As for Sartre, there are others on the anti-Stalinist left who bear a grudge against him for his erstwhile apologetics for the Communist Party. Some might wonder what he was doing with Maoist
