[lbo-talk] The Plutocrats Go Wild

[T Fast]

It appears as thought the equation of bad times=progressive politics plagues 
liberal commentators as well.  I wish comentators on the contemprary scene 
would recall that fascism and Bonapartism are an equally popular response to 
the trauma.  Hell even a cursory overview to the stagflation of the mid 70's 
to early eighties and the politics of neoliberalism that it ushered should 
be enough to give the lie to the formula.
