As far as I can tell Dumain hates Stalinists, Trotskyists,
Maoists, Althusserians, anarchists, New Leftists, Western Marxists,
post-Marxists, radical democrats, and everyone to their right.  
Doesn't leave many people out, does it, apart from, maybe--
I said MAYBE!--Ralph Dumain, the world's only non-non-entity.  
Is this guy a solipsist, a nihilist, a misanthrope, or what?    
A humanist?  Yeah, right, RD.  Since I came on this list I
have seen precisely nothing with any substantive argued 
content posted by Dumain.  A few sociopathic jibes, a few 
declarations of opinion about what he thinks of other people's
work, but with no serious engagement of the issues.  Not having
been on the list long enough, I don't know for sure whether he
is capable of providing that.  But come on, Ralph, give it a
try--everything else you've posted is pretty pathetic.  

Anybody out there with some spare asbestos?
