How should Marxists >today treat Christmas and Christmas holidays? Rey, I dunno about Marx but will look up Liebknecht's book when I get back. how should we view the holidays (Xmas)? A chance to have a break from the reign of necessity I suppose. A chance to grab a pint of guiness or two. A chance to think how the christians used the old pagan feast days to weave their myths around. And then a thought about time and tides and how we age and how life passes and how the sun waxes and wanes. And how despite it all the shit, life is beautiful. take care Gary --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
