[OPE-L] debate on labor aristocracy

You may cite this message only if you do not disclose who wrote it. 

Some of the latest installments in this long debate include an article in
June, 2006 by Charlie Post called "The Labor Aristocracy Myth"

<http://www.internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article1110>

and a reply by Steve Palmer entitled "Labour Aristocracy: mythmakers and
their mistakes" appears in the current issue of _Fight Racism! Fight
Imperialism!_

<http://www.revolutionarycommunistgroup.com/frfi/195/>

Part of this debate concerns which position has "grave empirical
problems". See the tables in the _FRFI_ article which, according
to Palmer, "completely corroborate Lenin's analysiu of imperialism
and totally undermine Post's argument".

Does anyone on the list want to take a position on this debate?  Which
side does the data (by which I mean all of the relevant data, rather than
only that presented by Palmer) support?

In solidarity, Jerry
