[Fwd: RE: An Orientalist explanation from Zizek]

[Carrol Cox]

Several Latin American comrades on the marxism list defend
Freud's importance for understanding individuals. I continue 
to disagree with them on this, but thought it might be useful 
to at least note on LBO that the debates going on here have 
not two sides but numerous sides. The following post illustrates 
this though of course it does not provide an argument. It merely 
labels a position.

YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, could not stop myself from sending this deeply useless 
posting. Poor Anglo Saxon world, has read Freud first through Melanie 
Klein, second through Jacques Lacan. If they had entered Newton the 
same way, they would still be doing sorcery to keep the Sun coming 
back next year.
