As I say, he was on this list for a hot minute. Anyway, I think the radical criticism here is good in that it is not going to hurt Moore's project, but will...you know , develop left theory in this concrete period.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=926101512-14072004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=926101512-14072004>And further, as activists on the list have said, Moore's film being on the minds of millions gives a popular artifact ( leaflet) from which to raise more radical ideas , sometimes in argument with the movie. That's dialectics. It's all good.</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=926101512-14072004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=926101512-14072004>Charles</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
