for what it's worth, I was disagreeing with Mailer, not echoing him, a point I made to him in person from the audience at a personal appearance he had in Sacramento in Feb 07 before he died: Hitler was not a lone nut but like fascism a product of the capitalist system. To the extent he had mental problems they were those that thousands of veterans of the trenches of the Great War had, not being the product of some mysterious forces. Mailer demurred, saying he thought part of it was a product of "supernatural" forces of evil at work, the theme of his book being that Hitler was the spawn of Satan. > On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 1:34 PM, Louis Proyect <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> Cod, aren't you aware that schizophrenia is a mental illness?
