[Peace-discuss] [Peace] I agree with Adolph Reed

[Brussel, Morton]

Nuance seems to be missing in these camps, — guilds?  Enlightening (to me) the article in the NYT, of all places. Is the NYT capable of change?
 I ‘ve only been following David’s comments, which have seemed to me to be overly intollerant. One position does not nullify the other, completely… I’ve learned long ago that it was in the DNA of “the left”, that they wouldn’t get their house together. Will young socialist tolerant “youth” succeed ?  Take a peek at France and its multitudnous leftist components.

But I am more than sympathetic with criticism, i.e., merited, well informed, criticism. (: - )

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor  unsurprisingly chooses the safe, "guild" route; she wants to continue to be interviewed by Amy Goodman. Cornel West straddles the fence--he's been seriously criticized by Reed in the past--but tries at least to be a "unifier". Sunkara/Jacobin do the same, and although they are the editorial flagship of DSA, ultimately they won't be able to pull it off; DSA has been "occupied". People will have to decide whether to succumb to the DSA/ Maoist cultural revolutionaries. Thank God for Adolph Reed.

It should tell people something, in corporate/establishment terms, that the News-Gazette allows Sundiata Cha-Jua to play the "radical" every other Sunday on their editorial page. He's not saying anything that threatens the local establishment, whether town or gown. What an intellectual travesty.
