[lbo-talk] Open Letter to Monthly Review Editors

[Jim Devine]

Not to apologize for Comrade Uncle Joe, but this seems an illogical
extension of the principle applied after World War I by the winning
powers: populations were moved so that "national borders" and "where a
nationality lives" would correspond. Of course, Hitler's policies also
were an extension (a different one) of that principle.

Jim Devine / "It was the mystical dogma of Bentham and Adam Smith and
the rest, that some of the worst of human passions would turn out to
be all for the best. It was the mysterious doctrine that selfishness
would do the work of unselfishness." -- G. K.Chesterton.
