RE: [OPE] Venezuela bans sale of Coke Zero

You should also take into account that as soon as Germany was unified, there was a wholesale dismissal of Marxist academics from east German universities and scientific institutions. It is also, I believe, relatively difficult more difficult for marxian economists to get faculty positions in the west than it is for neo-classical ones.

I could build, Jerry, an argument about the centrifugal forces of liberal institutions to support my neutrality thesis, but you are going to disregard it. So, I have to appeal to your personal condition in order to find some evidence of neutrality in liberal democracies. The fact that you are teaching at Pratt Institute in New York and graduated in an elite American university, despite your open hostility toward liberal democracy, demonstrates that this neutrality is not naïve. Your case is matchless in actually existing socialisms.

A. Agafonow

Alejandro:

Institutions are not neutral. It is the height of naivety to think
that they are. It is the great fallacy of political liberalism.
