Hello from the Rethinking Marxism conference, which I'm about to leave. Two things:
1) I wrote a little critique of American decadence: http://lbo-news.com/2013/09/20/on-panitch-gindin-and-american-decline/.
2) I ran into Carrol Cox and his wife Janice last night at the RM cash bar (which was rather underattended - don't Marxists drink like Marx anymore?). What a pleasant surprise. It's striking what an amiable guy Carrol is in person, in contrast to his occasionally curmudgeonly demeanor online. Anyway, just wanted to say it's good to have him as a comrade and sparring partner, despite the virtual fireworks now & then. (Janice, as far as I know, is always amiable.)
