Greetings Economists,
I don't think we can say 'hysteria' is part of the content of Doug's
comments. I say that because emails don't transmit realistic
emotional content. It is just guess work on your part about an email
name much less the real person.
Secondly 'leftist' is usually in the context of parties of the left,
and since we have no organized left we can't define 'left'. What I
mean is mass organization can pick and choose questions to answer as
one in a unified sense, but Doug can't impose hegemony and therefore
is just like the rest of us, thinking out loud in a word manner we
call rationalist discourse.
Email lists can't establish common working methods so it is really an
error to think we can approach content as if there is a single schema
involved. We can't agree because the tool of the lists precludes
taking those steps. This demonstrates itself in flames because the
confusion about emotions shows up when people assume they can agree if
they state their words.
Over all I see the issue as don't guess at how others feel because it
is so fraught with unknowns. Don't assume what left is because we
have to have an organized left to get the unity that goes along with
'left' as a party like entity.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
