Last exit fascism.

[Otto Sell]

To all First Class Lenins:
Apologies for mixing up Old Charlie with Vladimir Ilyich. But it' the
"inevitability" that's important and this was expressed by both.

I have never considered myself as a marxist in the political sense (too many
bourgeois habits) though I always liked the basic ideas. I can understand
the marxists' critique on pomo. Much of what has been presented under the
wrong "Anything goes"-pomo-label must have looked to an "honest" marxist
like a new edition of "Laissez-faire"-liberalism.
But as Paul wrote (and TRP really does so in the Wimpe-Tschitcherine
dialogue):
<Postmodernism arguably pulls the rug out from under
Marxism. If there are no privileged ideologies, all are equally
justifiable, what claim can Marxism possibly have.>

To me: nearly none - under Hitler I would have joined Carl von Ossietzky in
the KZ Esterwegen and under Stalin Solshenizyn in the Gulag.

Thanks to kwp for the Horkheimer-quote: "Who speaks about fascism cannot be
silent about capitalism."  - Even in my pomo-view of the world there's much
truth in it.

Another thing:
Is George W. Bush II. really as dangerous as some people believe? What
disturbs me is the tendency to political dynasties in the US: Roosevelt,
Kennedy, Clinton, Bush. Thanks to whoever claims responsibility that the
great-grandsons of Kaiser Bill don't show any political ambitions.

<My favorite moment in his speech last night was his gratuitous
literary allusion to M&D, when he compared himself to George
Washington, "whose friends called him George W." And nobody laughed.>

Because he offered no grass maybe?!!
