[lbo-talk] Poll of Top 5 Public Intellectuals! Vote For Chomsky!

[Charles Brown]

andie: There are lots of dumb rightwingers --Mill (wasn't it he?) called the
Tories the "stupidparty," but there are lots of smart ones who have things
to say with which we must at least engage to be confident of our ideas and
from whom we may learn things we didn't know. Including that they
arecorrectt about some things. Judge Posner. Carl Schmitt (in fact an actual
Nazi.) Leo Strauss. Nietzsche --not very political but no friend of the
left. Etc.

^^^^^

CB: Give me examples of smart ideas that Posner, Schmitt ,Strauss and
Nietzsche had.
