Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.
Louis seems to be indulging his penchant for sorting the sheep from the goats here. People are good guys or bad guys, white hats or black, reactionaries or progressives, bourgeois or proletarian, tyrants or democrats, stupid or intelligent, wrong or right, etc. I don't understand this mentality. In my experience people can be fools about one topic and quite astute about another; clever today and obtuse tomorrow. To be sure, there are people who are consistently stupid, though almost none who are consistently wise. The people in the former category are generally paid for it -- though not always. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
