[lbo-talk] the beating heart of oakland commune: the kitchen

[Carrol Cox]

I have never seen a text that used the word "Weatherman" without at best
falling into nonsense. Lou Proyet has made himself brain-damage through his
obsession with this group of political trash. They were anti-political, and
any discussion of them falls away from politics. They were not ultra-left
because to be ultra-left you first have to be left, and they were not. They
were trash. Leave them alone in their utter idiotic isolation.

Doug, I usually feel that I can follow your train of 
thought, but you lost me on this one. Weathermen?!

I liked the essay very much. I particularly liked the 
emphasis on lawbreaking -- the kind of lawbreaking 
that involves pitching a tent where the cops say you can't. 
That's absolutely vital.

Any proposition that seems self-evident 
is almost certainly false.
