In today's Guardian, Naomi Klein: "Over the past few decades, many of the ideas of the far left have found new homes homes on the right. Lenin believed that it was in conditions of catastrophic upheaval that humanity advances most rapidly, and the idea that economic progress can be achieved through the devastation of entire societies has been a key part of the neo-liberal cult of the free market. Soviet-style economies left a an inheritance of human and ecological devastation, while neo-liberal policies have had results that are not radically dissimilar in many countries. Yet while the Marxist faith in central planning is now confined to a few dingy sects ..... OK, the neo-cons are red babies, sprogs of the New York Trotskyist movement (according to Justin Raimondo- - I like to hear this disputed). But "dingy sect" is fighting talk. ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of spam? Get leading spam protection and 1GB storage with All New Yahoo!
