Date: Fri, 4 Apr 1997 14:19:53 -0800 (PST) From: Scott McLemee <mclemee-AT-igc.apc.org> Subject: M-TH: Red Scientology (was, PANIC LEFT, Pt.1) This material is just great; keep it up. If L. Ron Hubbard had started out as a Marxist instead of a pulp sci-fi writer, Scientology would have sounded a lot like this. You will enjoy great success recruiting timid souls ripe for an authoritarian grouplet that offers the smirking pleasures of quick-and-easy intellectual superiority ... plus *instant* status in the revolutionary vanguard ... all in exchange for a few hours of work learning "the club's" power-jargon. Hey, but at least no one will think you are dumb. That seems to be a matter of some little anxiety for the Syracusians. The ability to write long sentences is, of course, proof that you are the smartest kid in the class -- and in this case, a most erudite Marxist, too. And we mustn't let anyone doubt that for a second, right? If only Lenin were alive to see this. He'd never stop throwing up. --- from list marxism-thaxis-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
