Re: [A-List] Zimbabwe's political opposition deploys its own WMD claim



Patrick Bond, in his usual weird style of address, wrote

James, what a curious man you are

J. D. -- No, just one who has experienced 40 years of struggle in Belfast.

P. B. -- Do you perhaps need some pan-Africanist, socialist, labour or
merely empirical information...?

J. D. -- It is true I don't have the resources of e.g. St Anthony's College, 
Oxford* to call on.
*Founded around the time of the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

P. B. -- Three-month old Gowans manure smells as bad as it does when freshly 
posted.

J. D. -- I don't remember the argument from smell being in the armoury of 
Marx or Marxists, but it was very much at home in Nietzsche's Genealogy of 
Morals.

I have a suggestion for the colour of the imminent (counter) revolution 
(humanitarian and democratic intervention) in Zimbabwe -- White.
