[lbo-talk] Liberal Intellectuals and the Coordinator Class

[Carrol Cox]

If we are talking about a socialist society, enormous 'things' would
have happened between now and then, and the people living in that
society would be people constituted by the social relations through
which those things were brought about. It simply makes no sense to argue
about what the motives of people under those conditions would be. They
wouldn't be either better or worse people, they would simply be
different. Parents in the 18th c.  would beat the hell out of their kids
and no one, kids or parents, thought much about it. One can go on
indefinitely listing such examples.
