[lbo-talk] The Suicide of New Left Review

[Joseph Wanzala]

does this mean that you think the kettle (NLR) is black (i.e. that the NLR 
has indeed capitulated to neo-liberal orthodoxies) Whether or not 
Kargalitsky is guilty of what he accuses NLR of engaging in has no bearing 
on the merits - or lack thereof - of his analysis. At any rate, I tend to 
think the kettle in both cases is 'grey'.
