Can you explain how Wheen (who I agree, from what I have read, is a "Euston Manifesto" leftie) thinks Trotsky, Lenin et al misappropriated Marx´s writing? And how, following Capital, Wheen thinks the relentless progress of global capitalism can be halted (if indeed he thinks it should be)?<BR/><BR/>Ta in paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867697107799151822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10970428.post-1160936348664758782006-10-15T18:19:00.000+00:002006-10-15T18:19:00.000+00:00That previous comment is fucking weird.I'll read t...That previous comment is fucking weird.<BR/><BR/>I'll read the book when it's out in paperback but his book on Marx, though a racy read, was very silly and superficial about CAPITAL, I thought. Wheen's account of Chomsky's response to Clinton's cruise missile attack on the Sudan (in HOW MUMBO-JUMBO CONQUERED THE WORLD) is a travesty. He's a Euston Manifesto leftie, innit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
