re: [Marxism] Stephen Gowans versus Patrick Bond on Zimbabwe

Gowans relies almost totally on "the enemy of my enemy
is my friend" logic.

For example, in this article
http://gowans.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/grassroots-lieutenants-of-imperialism/
he writes:
---
While there may be an emotional appeal to what Bond
has to say, his argument, examined dispassionately, is
weak. If Mugabe is the crypto reactionary,
pro-imperialist Bond says he is, why are the openly
reactionary, imperialists in London and Washington so
agitated about Mugabe and his policies?
---

A dispassionate examination, indeed.

I have no horse in this race, but I can recognise
nonsense when I see it.
