[lbo-talk] [OFF] Immanuel Kant: An Erotic Life

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

Mostly right, but she loves the paradigm of resistance. The psuedo-left
loves the word “resistance”, because they like the almost biblical struggle
it represents.  We, the weak, the holy, against them, the Goliaths, the
malevolent.  We’ll lose, but at least we’ll have a history of bitter defeats
to reminiscence about.  This fatalism is deeply engrained on the left.
