In the same sense that Genovese is a Dobbsian. When I cited Genovese to
that effect, you merely replied that no-no, Genovese doesn't understand
Dobbs and has him all wrong. It is a waste of time to try to connect the
dotted lines between Dobbs and Genovese or Daitsman and Brenner, because
you are uncomfortable with the reactionary logic. Sorry, I can't help you
with that.

As you know, Yoshie, when there was a debate on Blaut-Brenner on PEN-L, it
unleashed a tidal wave of reactionary beliefs from Wojtek Sokolowski's
oddball marriage of Barrington Moore and hatred for the black liberation
movement to Ricardo Duchesne's outspoken belief that capitalism has a
progressive role to play in places like Puerto Rico or India. If you put
Daitsman's crackpot defense of Pinochet side-by-side with Ricardo's
procapitalist Marxism, there's virtually nothing to distinguish them apart.
