Saying which missile hit which plane is not a "position," it is just an assessment of fact. If you count every simple fact (say, starting with the multiplication table) then I guess you could say that I agree with over 99% of "imperialist positions."

That might well include me and the majority of this list. And furthermore, who among us exactly says "Russia is Evil, Ukraine Good"? AFAIK everyone on this list agrees that Ukraine is a capitalist country and people don't come to this list if they think capitalist countries are "good." - Jeff ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
