[lbo-talk] A holiday card for everyone on lbo-talk and Pen-l

[Carrol Cox]

Aside from the grotesqueness of this particular case, it is a misuse of
language to attach the label "sellout" to a non-deliberate act. There simply
is no such thing as "selling out" without intending to.  It ought to be
reserved for those who fit a line from "The Red Flag": "Though traitors
sneer."

Not you, Gar! We know your aversion to hair shirts.

An example: a friend of mine said several years ago that he was worried that
he'd been enjoying some holiday parties. He wondered if this meant that he
was "selling out."
