So sorry Michael. In my mind - somehow - I always confuse you with Michael Perelman, just a measure of my deep respect. I thought he was brilliant. I think I came across you both at around the same time. H -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. Vie

Re: [marxmail] Forum assessing US 2024 elections

We all have said and believed thiings in the past that probably make us embarrassed now --- so I don't think Bill Domhoff's views on class collaboration from the 1970s and 80s are particularly relevant. What would be relevant for me is his meticulous dissection of the various strands within the ru
