[lbo-talk] Austerity

[Carrol Cox]

It is evidence that there are better topics than politics when talking to
him. You have nothing to say to him and he has nothing to say to you on
politics, economics, etc. Talk about your favorite comics or the weather.

My central point is that it is wrong to worry about the incorrigible
(incorrigible from our standpoint. Political wrongness is not stupidity or
immorality anyhow. He may be an interesting person to talk to on other
topics. If he wants to talk politics, smile and change the topic.
