Discussion: Michael Cooke on the left and fundamentalists
<http://links.org.au/node/4460>
By *Michael Cooke***
/For the record then, I have no patience with the position that "we"
should only or mainly be concerned with what is "ours’" any more
than I can condone reactions to such a view that require Arabs to
read Arab books, use Arab methods and the like. As C.L.R James used
to say, Beethoven belongs as much to the West as he does to Germans,
since his music is now part of the human heritage.//
Partly because of empire, all cultures are involved in one another;
none is single and pure, all are hybrid, heterogeneous,
extraordinary, differentiated, and unmonolithic. This I believe, is
as true of the contemporary Untied States /[or Australia]/as it is
of the modern Arab world …/

Links seeks to promote the international exchange of information,
experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political
strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for
open and constructive dialogue between active socialists coming from
different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the
international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social
policies. It aims to promote the renewal of the socialist movement in
the wake of the collapse of the bureaucratic model of "actually existing
socialism" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
