[lbo-talk] Cuba petition

[Nathan Newman]

Justin-- I wasn't celebrating left unity-- you missed the irony.  I was
reacting to Doug's earlier valorization of left unity in the antiwar
movement.  And I think that practically the WWP undermined the antiwar
movement by putting up speakers and arguments that turned off many liberals
and moderates.  So practically, they sucked.

  Walzer's a Zionist lickspittle. Philosophically he's on the left -- as a
philosopher he's not half bad, actually, little taste as I have for
communitarianism after Rwanda and the Balkans. Practically, he's a State
Department socialist. And YOU, self-appointed scourge of the WWP, have no
business going on about left unity. They at least are practically good if
they are theoretically bad, Walzer's the other way around. Guess which one
counts? "By their fruits shall ye know them," the Good Book says. jks

    -Why be fair to Walzer? He's a creep and a thug.

    Funny how selective calls for "unity on the left" end up being.
