Yes, it's a discordant image, but the assertion is historically accurate,
for East Germany was a thing of many parts. Arriving on the terraq
Kudos to Louis for this discussion; less commendable is the very fact
of its necessity. Does Anna Bramwell's research implicitly unmask
Greenpeacers as crypto-fascists? Was Nazi village-ism just a tactical
ploy cynically borrowed from the Soviet kolkhoz?

Nope! Taft was more active in trust busting than Roosevelt, although Teddy
talked a good game. Doesn't Clinton take Roosevelt as a role model?

No. The Pure Food Act was in response to the general popular disgust evoked
by Upton Sinclair's THE JUNGLE. It came, therefore, partly

There is a basic error right here. The rate of profit is s/C+V, not

I should be grading right now, so I'll give a very abbreviated response
to this thread.
There has always been an important element within the US
environmental/conservation movement that emphasizes "manliness",
adventure, etc. in the outdoors. In TR's time, that was epitomized by

Well, Teddy Roosevelt also supported the Pure Food Act
and busted trusts. Does that mean that supporting those
activities was also imperialist?

Louis Proyect is right about early Soviet
environmentalism and why it disintegrated. He is also
right that the origins of environmentalism in Germany
come from early in the nineteenth century and are
associated with both the right and the left, although he
prefers to downplay how strong

Friends,
I just read two good short pieces in the latest issue of "Z" magazine.
The first, written by the staff and titled "Economics?", is about the
sad state of the economics profession. It starts out by noting

I'm still stunned by the notion that the GDR was a major center of nudism.

Please consider the following three propositions and let me know where my
