I'm surprised Louis has allowed this troll to haunt the list as long as he has. I was grateful for the valuable information that he provided about the French strikes and told him as much, but he has more than made up for it with his dogmatic, anarchist rants that I'm glad to see are generally offensive to the sensible majority of the list. It is particularly nice to hear of his respect for the ECHR, which like the proletarian Sarkozy government and their American counterparts, are determined to defend the inherently secular working-class from the burqa-clad threat of Islam, whether judicially or with drones and gunships. As a former a Christian fundamentalist - though fortunately not of the putrid, right-wing variety - I am glad that Marxism steered me away from a brief but understandable antitheism, which I came to see as nothing more than middle-class hostility toward the poor, duped masses who need religion as an opiate for the soulless, heartless world they find themselves trapped in. While I don't think this is an overreaction, I do find myself particularly offended when faced with poisonous attacks on working-class people, whether coming from the right or 'left.' ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
