In your new existence you are sounding a bit...Tim, <br />In your new existence you are sounding a bit like the other sadsack Chris Trotter who blames workers for being attacked and sold out by the Labourites. Their ignorance apparently is the problem not Labour's treachery.<br /><br />Anyway, I am a bit alarmed by the fatal paradox. What happened to dialectics and the negation of the negation? Arnt you reducing the class struggle to your own existence?<br /> <br />Unfortunately NZ is a graveyard for revolutionaries. One day when Maps gets up the courage he will tackle Owen Gager and his attack on NZ as a petty bourgeois society. He may draw the conclusion that Gallipolli is a dead end in every sense, and that the best place for Marxists is anywhere but NZ. <br /><br />Buenos Aires is not a bad place.Dave Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12873621971212067467noreply@blogger.com
