re:[Marxism] Forwarded from Stan Goff RE: Letter from "the Heretic, " a GI stationed in Iraq

["M. Junaid Alam" <mjunaidalam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Stan: "We have even reprinted some of this “Heretic” blogger’s stuff, but I have
been uncomfortable with it… not because of its content, but because the
level of socialist consciousness that it apparently reflects is suspicious
for someone who is still fighting in Iraq.  It smells like ghost-writing,
and if someone comes along and proves it to be such (I’m not saying it is or
isn’t), we get rolled on our general credibility."

Personally I completely doubt that that Blog is authentic. It just does sound 
way too
stereotypically socialist, with the occasional swear-word thrown in for 'GI 
authenticity'
- the self-flaggelation, too, comes off as particularly artificial, since only 
leftists
are prone to doing that. I don't see how anyone can take as credible some 
anonymous blog,
anyway. That takes all of five seconds to create.
