from neumy
Maybe a bit harsher than I wanted to be
but maybe closer to the truth
as well. Nice job
this from a titan among contrarians================================
my e mail to him was
about a piece in counterpunch
that pleased me greatly....re
the inter play of altruism and self interest
in your counter piece:the demolishment of
altruistic "concern" was lovely"i have issues with your concerns madame"
" well i have concerns with your issues sir"
altruism the masquarade of amour propre
moral moaner thy name is vanity
if it were mine to mangle
perhaps
collective interests
might have been rolled out
a bit furtherthe sea of "I" s
turned into the at least on relevant dimensions
homegeneous "WE"for the soulful other lovin' "I" of "we"
its tough medicine to hear"it is the historic mission
of another class entirely
not yours
not your "we"
but
one with vast numbers
and
a collective back against the wall
self interest in fightingso forget the pipe dream
stow the lame duck cry" hand wringers unite "
in this struggle
wrung hands are no better then washed handsjust
sit tight
and
leave it all
to a better class of humans
to liberate all the earth's people" for themselves by themselves from themselves"
