Theories of power (Butler seminar)

[Carl Remick]

Re Jim Farmelant's:  "Russell then went on to defend himself against the
charge of
inconsistency in having advocated threatening the USSR
with nuclear attack.  In his defense Russell argued that he
was not a pacifist since he thought there some wars (albeit
very few) had been justified."

Ah, the tricks of memory.  I hadn't recalled this at all from reading
Russell's autobiography years ago.  What does stick in my mind from that
work is (1) Russell's horror in walking the streets of London right
after World War I began and finding so many people gleeful, and (2) the
abuse Russell experienced from the American right following World War
II.
