From Katrina to Dialectics
If anyone is puzzled by Rosa/Red Menace's comments under the previous post here, she's referring to a discussion in the comments box under this article at Lenin's Tomb, a discussion which was supposed to be about Hurricane Katrina but somehow or other drifted onto the weighty subject of Marxist dialectics. Not that the drift is necessarily a bad thing - I think a lot can be said for a blog which can deal with grunty political polemic and airy-fairy theoretical stuff in one discussion thread.
If anyone has a spare couple of hours and wants to know what the #@!!! Marxist dialectics is, check out this superb summary by Bertell Ollman, Professor of Politics at New York University and designer of the boardgame sensation Class Struggle is the Name of the Game. Ollman might not convince you, but he is sure to change the way you think about the way you think.
If grunty agitprop is what you feel like, check out redrave's article on the socialist solution to the humanitarian crisis that Katrina has caused.
