Uh, folks, it's about time we moved on to something else, don't you think? I mean, do we want "Lobotomizing so-and-so" to be the most prominent thread in our archives? I can't think of a single mind that has been significantly changed by the months (and soon, years) of this stale debate. Lou (P) has suggested that we look at the prospective changes in China following Deng's departure. There are many other topics as well better suited to an international list. I just received an interesting volume in the mail today on the demise of the Soviet Union (Routledge, I think) *Revolution from above*, offering a rather novel view of the self-destruction of the CPSU. And what of Zaire, and Turkey, and Algeria? The point is, there is so much that is happening of interest to Marxist and revolutionaries that to spend post after post imitating a "Portuguese Parliament" (everybody talking, nobody listening) seems somehow...tragic.
