Re: [Marxism] In Solidarity with the People of Tibet

[Greg McDonald <sabocat59@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I just read ALL of the Parenti article on Tibet, and he makes a  
convincing argument that the coterie around the D.L. is not to be  
trusted. The last straw for me: not only was the D.L. a paid CIA  
agent, but he lobbied on behalf of Pinochet. Pretty unforgivable in  
my book.  Hard to jibe with his philosophy. So it turns out Tibetan  
Buddhism is the compassionate conservatism of eastern philosophy/ 
religion. I'm glad you guys are around to bring me back to my senses.

On the other hand, Tibetans living in Tibet are also in a difficult  
situation and have legitimate grievances. The problem here is there  
is no identifiable leadership among the tibetans that can be trusted  
to support their legitimate aspirations. All the alternatives are  
bad. One thing is for sure, no good will come of it, no matter how  
you slice it.
