This remark is irrelevant when it comes to Syriza, which we see by now has not a drop of socialist blood (or "postcapitalist," to be more obfuscatory) in its leaders' veins. Setting aside the rhetorical sleight of hand and considering Roberts, it might help to read him on the point before scurrying to pragmatism -- the resort of those who cannot discover and create something new with the help of Marxism. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
