[lbo-talk] An Orgy of Speculation?

[Carrol Cox]

The point is that righteous indignation may bring a person to radical
politics, but then in order to  push those politics he/she has to get rid of
the very moralism that triggered their own change. "X is evil" simply has no
content.

You can see  it on this list. The posters who are most horrified by
capitalism and most anxious to call it names and condemn it are the persons
who give less thought (in fact often NO thought to actually building
resistance to it.

There is nothing more politically pointless than howls of outrage on a list
in which everyone already agrees that it is outrageous. "Criticism" of the
attack on teacvhers is really silly on this list. That is a given. Now think
and forget your outrage.

Carrol: "Capitalists are not evil. They are capitalists."

[WS:] I see.  So only the DP can be evil?  Or are they "just Democrats?"
