>Not at all. This was a 1000-word newspaper column, not a scholarly
analysis. The point was that a capital-D Depression could as easily
have an ugly outturn as a benign one, and that it would not lead
semi-automatically to a rebirth of the left, such as it is.
This is a salient point, given that there is a strong Militia movement in the US.
And, the progressive analysis of working class reality seems to sway from being esoteric (like on this list) to downright strange (anarchists :-) you can't expect your typical Depression victim to count on the Left.
I hope Labor saves our asses.... --
