[lbo-talk] Poll rout leaves India's communists a spent force

[Politicus E.]

McIntyre wrote:  "Too many red herrings to count, pol: my ego, my
dick, regression analysis... Here's the deal. I've been following
India's politics for over twenty years now. I've been trying to come
to terms with Gramsci in a serious way for almost as long, culminating
last year in a close reading of Buttigieg's three volumes. You don't
know squat about India or Gramsci, so trivial journalistic exercises
impress you. And your ignorance gives you the luxury of pronouncement
without the constraints of detailed knowledge or political
responsibility. I know enough to know that I should shut the fuck up
about the failings of India's left and try to learn more."

Bakwaas.  This speaks for itself, especially "... your ignorance gives
you the luxury of pronouncement without the constraints of detailed
knowledge or political responsibility."
