Typing "automation" in its search form yielded many articles from the late 1950s/1960s. Comrades grappling with today's fads could benefit from browsing the search results; pick an author/tendency you're partial to and I guarantee you'll find some essential context, analysis, and proposals. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/ilagardien%40yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
