[lbo-talk] of actors and politicians

[Carrol Cox]

I think "phase of capitalism" is a fairly neutral term, still relevant.
The beast is still recognizably the same but different in the mid-19th
c, in the early 20th c., & in the postwar era. "Fascism" is more than
irreelebvant: it is a barrier to grasping and opposing real
authoritarian threats. And as Yoshie pointed out long ago it is
particularly of service to those who wish to attach 'the left' to the
DP. "Most reactionary sector" implies "less reactionary sector" (which,
then, we are urged to support).
