[lbo-talk] Heidegger etc.

[Tahir Wood]

Before I sign off on all this, let me just confirm that in this cluster
of threads on Butler, Foucault and then Heidegger, the political
implications of all three of these added together seem in the list's
view to range from no significance, at the one extreme, to the avoidance
of "flat footed statements" at the other.* I guess that's about it
then?

*Statements with negative political implications like "heterosexuality
is men and women fucking each other and liking it."

PS  For those still interested in the Heidegger question, I didn't
mention this very engaging piece by Zizek. Worth a read, for all sorts
of reasons:

PPS  Oh and I forgot to mention that my own definition of fascism is
'ultranationalism'. I don't really think it has ever meant more or less
than that.
