  Especially to our friend Sartesian. 

  Since the real version of the above statement is that one cannot divorce 
the class struggle from the struggle for democracy and national sovereignty 
of the oppressed Arab people of Palestine. 

  Once one thinks that one could lead a class struggle divorced from the 
national question, one falls into a deep trap of economism, of working class 
romanticism. 

  But what can I say, nostalgia is also no longer what it once was.
