Nader

[Carrol Cox]

I think Nader is in some ways a comic-book intellectual: he simply has no
respect for or interest in people as people. He wants a more "logical"
capitalism. One large group of '60s radicals, including my own daughter,
were radicalized by being insulted as it were by the illogicality of
imperialist practice. Pure logic in that sense is no foundation for
digging in for the long run.
