Clueless.

CB: Yea, I saw the significance of the post on _Time_ magazine's "nostalgic" 
sigh for
Marx not as corroboration or vindication of Marx for Marxists, but as 
vindication of
Marx for some non-Marxists, a new generation of potential Marxists. Events are 
so
strikingly a confirmation of Marx's ideas that even a capitalist rag like 
_Time_ can't
help but blurt out that Marx was correct. It is our job to "harvest" the few new
potential Marxists , who will come to Marx in a new way like every generation.
