[lbo-talk] Paul Craig Roberts on ???

[Rakesh Bhandari]

Ah Max you've become critical of that volksy kind of criticism? When 
did you become skeptical of populism?
Yours Rakesh

Obviously there are multiple dimensions.  PCR's awakening to the (white)
working class is parallel to his and others' growing hysteria about fear of
a non-white planet.  I think we need an official disengagement with these
characters (Kinky too).  I wouldn't dignify this discourse with the 'class
war' designation.  It's really race war, with the working class as code.

I'm reading Niall Ferguson's account of the rise of the Nazis and all the
Splengerian race fear has a lot of overlap.

I might say NF himself is a genteel version of the same thing, though I
haven't finished his book yet.
