In that section, there is a reference to : "Marxism for the 21st Century - a revolutionary tool or more scholasticism?" <http://radicalnotes.com/content/view/54/39> by "Michael A. (Trash it Now!) Lebowitz". Kliman then writes: "Don't you think this is a wee bit anti-intellectual, ad hoiminem, and untrue, Michael?" Yet , note that Michael L's article doesn't even mention Kliman's book (let alone review it!), Kliman, or even the TSSI! So, Mike L - we're told - is "Trash it Now!"- by someone who accuses him of using ad hominem even though neither Kliman nor the TSSI are even mentioned in an article that never even claimed to be a review of Kliman's book! Note that the above is *ENTIRELY* factual. Indeed, I have provided the sources so that you can see for yourself who has been trashing whom! In solidarity, Jerry
