[lbo-talk] LBO-Talk's Message to the Masses

[c b]

^^^^ CB: Yes, and,, ahhhaa.. "French theory" replaces Marxism's use of
science as its meta-theory of politics with literary criticism as a
meta-theory of politics. Thus, everything is a text, Marxism is a
grand narrative, and all that jazz. LBO-talk has a lot of lit
critters, too.

[WS:} Ay, Charles, why are you so negative? The pomo lit crit has a
huge advantage over your 'science' (Marxist or otherwise) - it
provides ample opportunity to show off how smart and erudite the
speaker/writer is by mere bullshitting and names dropping, unburdened
by the need to empirically prove anything. :)

CB:  Let me be more positive, Wojtek.   I was a structuralist,
Levi-Straussian, before I was a Marxist.  For structuralism , against
post-structuralism !   Lets have structural study of finance
capitalism, the mythemes and superstructure which is the Tea Party and
Reaganism with the purpose of raising working class and socialist
consciousness.   Not the deconstruction of the Marxist base
