[lbo-talk] "tool" as insult?

[Wojtek S]

Andie: "Self delusion about being an Instrument of History, God,
Nation, Party, or Volk strikes me as a way for the self-righteous to
avoid responsibility and commit crimes with a clear conscience despite
dirty hands."

[WS:]  No doubt.  But there are also those who either genuinely
renounce the self in favor of some greater good - which is a moral
attitude - or those who argue that the individual self is but a
manifestation of collective consciousness  - which is a theoretical
position that I take seriously.  The trick is to tell the difference
between these three.
