RE: [Marxism] On the use of the word "niggardly"

Ya see, I was with you right down the line in 100% agreement until you
tossed out there....  

It's this good ol' SWP "my way or the highway" bullshit that drives me up a
wall. 

There's a third category.  I don't think Jim Cannon was either a provocateur
or a racist.  

There are people who use the word because they need to be persuaded that
being more sensitive to others' responses than they are to the dictionary
might be a good idea.

And asserting they're either provocateurs or racists probably isn't the best
way to persuade them.

Solidarity!
