Re: [Marxism] Ward Churchill Redux

[Bill Quimby <wquimby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you trying to make a distinction between "complicit" workers (the
stock handlers and other workers in the capitalist enterprise) and the
"non-complicit" workers - the janitors, maintenance workers, restaurant
staff? Yes, I often wonder about the janitors in Hussein's government
buildings when our "shock and awe" hit Baghdad.

But as far as the rest, it may have nothing to do with Marxism  - Karl was
a good guy at bottom - but it has EVERYTHING to do with Leninism and
the appropriate question raised about the complicity of the bourgeoisie in the
terrorism of Capitalism.

But that discussion may belong to another list?
