[Marxism] Moderator's note

["Mike Friedman" <mikedf@xxxxxxxx>]

Belatedly, I just want to support Lou in this. I think Feldman's response
to Michael's comment, and Feldman's earlier remarks to Lou were way out of
bounds. In fact, he should stick to what he calls for, "marshalling
facts," rather than whining on and on about "brainpower" as a way of using
personal characterization to attack political positions.
