[lbo-talk] Althusser, NLR and the meaning of 'Stalinism'

[Bhaskar Sunkara]

On a train-- not sure if this will go through--- the quote was from
Hitchens accusing Anderson of getting caught up in the Althusser
craze. Personally, I think I gained a lot from reading "For Marx"
critically. I found Gramsci more "useful." More on this later.

> NLR readers were mostly carried away with the Althusser cult.
> Anderson's criticisms at the time were more muted. But he is right.
> Althusser was a repulsive shit, whose influence on Marxism,
> philosophy and radical politics was wholly detrimental.
