Re: U. of Michigan pressured to halt publication of Joel Kovel book
Bill Lear asks:
>> So, as long as you are repressed by private interests, it's ok?
Ok as legal? I agree. Ok as morally correct? All depends on the context. Imagine a racist. Assume he would like to verbally insult every minority person he sees in the street. However, he knows that if starts shouting epithets, he will be socially shunned and get his ass kicked. So he shuts up. He (and I) think he is repressed. I see nothing wrong with his repression.
