I have posted more of your crap here than anybody but you. I have also
urged people to go look at your Web archives, as Yoshi did. Rakesh's
problem is that he can not put things into perspective. I hope that I can
engage him in a discussion of LM's politics as opposed to Furedi's
thumb-sucking exercises. Rakesh's politics, such as they are, tend to be
influenced by whoever he is reading at the moment: Mattick, Furedi, Daum,
etc. He is a graduate student and easily influenced. You, on the other
hand, know exactly what you are up to and that is promote the interests of
big capital in the name of Marxism.
