Cockburn on "crackpot realism"

[Max Sawicky]

It's a privilege to be present at the creation of
this new libertarian-Marxist movement.  Heartfield's
ship is finally coming in.  -- mbs

Cockburn's subject doesn't require much analytical power,
however; if what he quoted was at all representative, vanden
Heuvel favors the imperial Bismarckian Welfare-warfare State,
for which events like those of September 11th are indeed a
great boon.  One can call that "the Left" if one wants, but
at the price of a near-total loss of coherent language.
