   Let's not let this armchair pseudo-psychoanalysis of Bello
and his (as another much less educated loon said on another left
list recently, "surrupticiously[sic.?] capitalist,") Non-Existent
Bourgeois tendencies, whether for third world comprador caps.
or any other elites, get rolling! Try the Transnational Institute
website, lotsa Bello there. Doing a google with Bello Callinicos
also brings up much in English and other languages. I really
doubt that Bello is a reincarnation of Peter Struve, the "legal
marxist" who turned rightwards in Russia a century ago.
