[lbo-talk] "Nuttiness

[Carrol Cox]

I don't think "nutty" is a very useful bit of political jargon, & I hope
I remember not to use it again after this and the preceding post --
where I use it because another poster had initiated its use.

As an ad hoc piece of jargon, I would define it as politics grounded in
(a) mere inheritance and (b0 wishful thinking. Both evolutionary and M-L
revolutionary roads to socialism fit this definition like a glove, hence
my reference to them as two sides of the same coin. The coin,
incidentally, is a mechanical or vulgar conception of the difference
between capitalism and socialism.
