[lbo-talk] The SMB in a socialist economy?

[shag carpet bomb]

another thing i forgot to mention was that postone, in his lead up to his 
discussion of critical theory, elaborates on two different kinds of ethical 
criticism -- utopian and critical theory. in this sense, i think he's 
driving at what carrol is when he's criticized those who emphasize the 
importance of moral outrage at the unjustness of capitalism. i think. i 
have to think about it a lot more, and in a more attentive frame of mind. :)

at any rate, i will write more on this later, but i think postone raises 
some provacative points about critical theory versus utopian criticism -- 
where he'd say that the moral outrage enthusiasts on the list are actually 
advancing utopian criticism, and not elucidating the aims of a truly 
critical theory. which involves this concept of totality somehow... :)
