[Marxism] Chris Lintott | Black Holes and Revelations · LRB 3 April 2020

They have imperilled a thousand stricken starship crews in the pages of science fiction, and the language used to describe them even in non-fiction often implies menace. In popular science, they ‘lurk’ at the centres of galaxies, waiting to ‘devour’ passing stars. I’m not sure this sort of imagery is justified, though it can be hard to avoid. A lot of the time black holes are passive, quiet beasts. https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2020/april/black-holes-and-revelations _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com

State governor Andrew Cuomo replaces Biden as the Democrats’ candidate. He might be an anti-labor conservative, but at least he is trying to cope with the immediate crisis. Because the Green Party is not just about positions. It is about setting an example of a party that is not tied to the bourgeoisie. All these parties, starting with the Populists, represent mortal threats to the 2-party system. That is why, for example, the DP deployed an army of lawyers to keep Nader/Camejo off the ballot in 2004. It would be best, of course, if American workers by the millions came to the consciousness that they had to construct the party that John Reimann propagandizes for. Who would argue that this would be far better than the largely middle-class Green Party that continues to adapt to the DP. However, consciousness does not proceed in a straight line, least of all in the most powerful imperialist country in history. _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
