[lbo-talk] what's left

[brad]

I am having a little trouble grasping exactly what you mean by the left
being defined as 'fight on the side of the oppressed'.  Who exactly is
deciding who is 'the oppressed'?  Sure all of us here might agree on this.
But the left deciding who's oppressed which you claim determines if one is
on the left is pretty circular.  There are plenty of free market wackos who
would argue that they are fighting for the oppressed.  What about stiglitz
and sachs, don't they claim to be fighting for the oppressed.  Are they on
the left?  Seems a bit subjective or open ended.
