Actually, if James Heartfield were a tenured professor at some British
university who contributed occasionally to "Capital and Class" or "Science
and Society", I wouldn't bother commenting. There's just too much warmed
over Kautskyism in academia to bother with. It is like writing letters to
the NY Times about biased reporting.

I am far more interested in reminding the left about the sinister
connections between a group of people once organized as the Revolutionary
Communist Party and a host of truly evil think-tanks and corporations.
People like Mick Hume who have morphed completely into Colonel Blimpish
defenders of the right of big business to have its way without "panic"
stricken complaints about pollution are one thing. People like Heartfield
who dons Marxist garb while aligning himself with these folks is another.
