[Last updated on: Sat Mar 16 15:10:08 2002] lbo-talk is a mailing list for the discussion of politics, economics, and culture, all expansively defined. It is sponsored by Left Business Observer , a newsletter mainly about economics, and moderated by its editor, Doug Henwood.
Despite that sponsorship, I hope this list will be a forum for speaking across intellectual and social boundaries that have divided the left, such as it is, for too long. Among these oppositions I'd like to see worked through are ones like class/identity, cultural politics/"real" politics, Marxism/postmodernism, universal/particularist, activism/theory, economics/culture, nature/labor; nature/culture, and labor/culture.
Subscriptions are open, and posts go right to the list without approval. But stupidity, prolixity, dogmatism, bigotry, cheap disruptiveness, and false or multiple identities are not welcome, and will result in warning, suspension, or ejection. To keep traffic down, and promote a diversity of voices, there's a 3-post a day per person limit. There's a little script that keeps track of daily postings, and if you exceed the limit you'll get an automated warning, with appropriate disciplinary action to follow.
Warning: posts to this list are archived, and regularly indexed by Google and other web searchers. If there's a risk that present or future employers might not like what you have to say here - or relatives or enemies or whatever - then you shouldn't post under your own name or a recognizable email address. Get an account with Yahoo! mail or the like (not Hotmail, if you can avoid it - their mailboxes fill too quickly and bounce too frequently).
