RE: [Marxism] Insightful interview with Patrick Cockburn

["Mark Lause" <MLause@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nice non-flaming there, Joaquín--a degree more and we'd have to have the
fire dept. in here.

What Rachel said was that she is "slightly closer" to a western
capitalist idea of "modernity and what life worth living" than to those
who seek value "somewhere in a next world," it's pretty clear that she
means secularism.  The statement simply doesn't entail any "affinity for
barbarous Imperialist 'modernity'" or "neutrality" in the global class
conflict.

Btw, I don't agree with her statement.  There simply is not so great a
divide between these things in the real world around us.  Generally, I
think, the larger the institution the more materialist the motives are
likely to be, regardless of whatever label that institution slaps on
itself.
