new list

[Doug Henwood <dhenwood@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've started up a mailing l*st, LBO-talk. Details follow.

****************************************************************************

LBO-talk is a mailing list for the discussion of politics, economics, and
culture, all expansively defined. It is sponsored by Left Business Observer
<http://www.panix.com/~dhenwood/LBO_home.html>, a newsletter mainly about
economics, and moderated by its editor, Doug Henwood.

Despite that sponsorship, I hope this list will be a forum for speaking
across intellectual and social boundaries that have divided the left, such
as it is, for too long. Among these oppositions I'd like to see worked
through are ones like class/identity, cultural politics/"real" politics,
Marxism/postmodernism, universal/particularist, economics/culture,
nature/labor; nature/culture, and labor/culture.

Subscriptions are open, and posts go right to the list without approval.
But stupidity, prolixity, dogmatism, bigotry, cheap disruptiveness, and
false or multiple identities are not welcome, and will result in warning,
suspension, or ejection.

TO JOIN   Write to <Majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> with the command

                      subscribe lbo-talk

in the body of the message. Majordomo will respond with an authentication
request, to check that it's coming from a real address, and not a hacked
version of Newt Gingrich's.
