Philip F. has sent a response off-list that reflects a complete failure to engage with the critiques and clarifications that have been offered so far. Hopefully he’ll eventually gather his thoughts sufficiently to formulate a defense that he’s prepared to offer up before the critical glare of the full list. Absent that, this seems to be shaping up as one of those awful, cringeworthy moments in the history of the left, in which otherwise basically decent people end up defending horrifically ill-considered positions, for reasons that may remain forever obscure. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
