The same time that you used to trash Sanders for your expectation that he will endorse Hillary if he loses you could have used to praise Sanders for being the main obstacle right now to her coronation. If your words matter one way, they matter the other way.
By the way, I'm just curious, what is "defending Marxism," exactly? Does it include trying to introduce young people to possibly useful and possibly interesting ideas that Marx had? When young people who like Corbyn find out from the media that Corbyn is supposedly "an admirer of Karl Marx," do you suppose that some of them might think to themselves, "Gee, I admire Corbyn and Corbyn admires Marx. Maybe I would be an 'admirer of Marx' too, if I knew more about the guy. Maybe I should look into it"? If that happens, would it be a good thing? Is Corbyn, perhaps, in his own way, "defending Marxism" by letting it be known that he is an 'admirer'? Is creating opportunities like that a good thing? === Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] (202) 448-2898 x1 On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 3:46 PM, Louis Proyect <[email protected]> wrote: > On 9/15/15 4:36 PM, Robert Naiman wrote: > > If Clinton is so awful - and I agree that she is - why not help Sanders > > defeat her, instead of assuming that he will lose to her?
