[lbo-talk] only intellectuals love poverty

[Carrol Cox]

Perhaps, but I've lived among intellectuals for the last 60 years -- and
I've yet to meet one who loved poverty. Perhaps all the poverty-loving
intellectuals are hiding on Manhattan someplace.

One does not count, of course, any intellectuals who are _actually_
living in poverty. I've met many of them, too, and all of them were
anxious to get out of poverty.
