Subject: M-TH: Buffalo Revolutionaries


<<The program of radical democrats like Laclau and Mouffe, as
well as Judge Bork, is in fact to extend (Mouffe 20) such equal
rights while leaving the dominant political economy untouched and
uninterrogated.  Radical democracy does the work of the ruling
class because it makes equal rights a panacea for economic
exploitation and thus legitimates the existing class structure.>>

This is one of the few sentences in that gibberish that is even
comprehensible, and it is just plain absurd. Not only does it
misread Laclau and Mouffe, but how in Marx's name does anyone
read Bork of all people as in favor of the extension of equal
rights? I guess the combination of revolutionary Marxism and
Buffalo is just too heady for belief.
