Re: Re: Anti-Eurocentrism: Idealist Diversion from Anti-racism/anti-imperialism

I think, I agree with everything that Carrol says. It is a point that I
have tried to make several times, although much less elegantly.
    The responses that I have seen so far seem to miss the point (in my
opinion) of Carrol's post and of Marx and Engels' critique of critical
criticism. Building a socialist society, involves building socialist
institutions and socialist social and production relations.
    Naming calling lets off frustration, but silencing an "opponent" is
a pretty hollow victory. And advances the cause not at all.
    And then, there are those who delight in disrupting left discourse,
with shouting denunciations of ill defined crimes, that the perpetrator
couldn't possible understand or avoid.

You and/or Carrol mind citing some examples of what you're condemning?
