I've listened to ZoomText read the post twice. I think I grasp what it says.

But why should any leftist be concerned with arguing against libertarians. It's a waste of time.

Now we could use, not an argument (which is always futile) but a good question to ask leftists who too easily drift into "coalition" work with libertarians. It's harmless, but it is a fucking waste of their time and the time of other leftists who have to dane around it.

Doug says Robin is a professor: does he aim his work at the utility of other professors teaching seminars. I certainly (even if I had eyes) would not choose to read a book by someone who wastes his time arguing with libertarians.
