[Marxism] Whatever happened to the LMers ?

["Jurriaan Bendien" <andromeda246@xxxxxxxxx>]

The least you might say for the LMers is that they are pretty competent
people, who are able to follow an argument. What are we supposed to do now ?
Gloat because people who experienced life in capitalist society as
alienating and stultifying, have found their niche in it ? Cry because they
end up being part of a scene they used to criticise ? Condemn them because
they've "sold out" ? Worry about their impatience with human stupidity and
gullibility ?

We can't all be like David Bowie, you know. Think I'll go to my attic and
find my Rolling Stones CD with "Sympathy for the Devil" on it. Don't think
I've got Lou Reed's "Hanging round" here, or Jim Croce's "Time in a bottle".

"To be radical means to go to the root of things. But the root of man, is
man himself" - Karl Marx

Somebody went off with my chocolate and coffee filters, and I still have to
feed the neighbour's cats. So who's got the moral high ground here ?
