[lbo-talk] Some thoughts on BTN

[Carrol Cox]

I don't think it true that the u.s. can be characterized as an
anti-intellectualist society. The label seems a mere kneejerk grounded in
random evidence. No one, in fact, has ever attempted a _theoretical_
analysis of what "anti-intellectualism" even means. It is a pretty empty
swear word, avoiding matters of substance.
