where and why

[ThomasM343@xxxxxxx]

               Chris B.,message received and understood.I understand that
this list is intended for academics.I am not an academic,and for that reason
I proably don't belong
 here.I am a tech school grad,and I won't pretend to have the understanding
of Marxism
 that others on the list have.I do have a lot of questions.Questions that
will probably get
 me flamed.So Chris before you boot me off  I'll ask a few questions.
             Why,is the left so fragmented and weak?I don't know how to put
it,but does
 intellectual debate and discussion ever move beyond theory to constructive
action?
              At times I don't understand the direction or level these
discussions are taking.Is
 it intetellectual grandstanding?Is it the result of the debate taking place
in an esoteric
 eclectic hermetically  sealed academic atmosphere?Has Marxism reached a
level of
  ecclesiastical biblical interpretation?Or,is it a game of one
upsmanship-who can quote
  the most obscure source or reference to Marx.As I stated -I am not an
academic,and
  I am willing to stand corrected.
