[lbo-talk] Why Marx is Right and Engels is Wrong

[Matthias Wasser]

Speaking as a member of Bhaskar's (and I guess Angelus'?) generation,
"homeboy" didn't sound rude, (except via the context that Angelus was being
rude already), and while there are racial overtones to the word, they get
less overt every year. I wasn't aware that "toolshed" had any racial
connotations whatsoever, other than that most people so described tend to be
white. But it was rude and kind of from nowhere.

Lack of decorum aside, I have enjoyed the substance of the debate. I think I
speak for everyone when I say that the petty sniping adds nothing to it, if
you're not willing to take it to Chris Doss/James Heartfield levels.
