Aren't you always the one quoting Marx on cookshops of the future? ----------
Well, yes. And that is my reason for placing emphasis on concrete political movements rather than on hypothetical conditions that may become real if they are implemented by a government in power. And that is my concern here. But also, I haven't yet seen even a roughly detailed recipe for this Keynesian, nor have I seen concrete argument of how the political power to follow the recipe is to be gained. Lou usefully mentions Nicaragua -- but of course they were unable to resist Reagan's attack. I don't know just what was going on in Honduras, but I know that the Obama Administration apparently was unwilling to see that continue and has supported the government produced by the coup. Repression has become extremely serious there. So are we talking about Greece or about the U.S.? If we are talking about Greece, what are the probabilities of Syriza being able to resist the power of the U.S. and the EU? And also, I would like fuller development, if only in academic theory, of the "weak link" argument.
