[lbo-talk] Re: Trotsky

[Michael Dawson]

For somebody who said stuff like this about the need for specificity in
attacks, Marcuse wrote some pretty damned blunt stuff when it came to actual
history and society.  _One-Dimensional Man_ says the problem's everywhere
and nowhere: "industrial society," shared culture, "man."  What,
specifically, would you attack, if that book were your guide?  The whole
culture is the only logical answer.  Well, how the hell do you attack a
whole culture?

Massively over-rated.

I dispute that Key...

The roots of repression are, and remain real roots;
consequently, their eradication remains a real and
rational job. What is to be abolished is not the reality 
principal, not everything, but such particular things
as business, politics, exploitation, poverty.

To forget this is to mystify the possibilities of liberation."
--Herbert Marcuse

Trotsky is a complete nonentity in Russia. No, a tiny

Is this any surprise after seventy years of official lies about Trotsky,
Lenin and the entire history of the revolution?
