you have nothing to lose but your brains

it surprises the nyt, but it doesn't surprise me, that marxist publishing is in revival. for one thing, there's really nowhere else to go: the last time anyone in the world left had an idea was 1848. i mean go read hardt and negri or zizek and realize it's exactly the same thing, only with a slightly different jargon-cloud. really the idea is just to keep pouring out words until the totalitarianism is slightly obscured.  or, you know, you can just buy a hyper-dilute solution from the dems or whatever. if marxism is revived in areas other than publishing, we'lll be shooting back.
