Having taken place on the work_democracy Yahoo group, and a letter sent in by me called "[Fwd: Re: Noam Chomsky: Controlled Asset of the New World Order]", I send this only as exercise/example.

My view is that no one is worthless, and least of all someone who has part of a critique over someone with no critique or an absolutist one.  There is truth even in Bakunin who saw the Jew in Rothschild before seeing the capitalist. If logic and persuasion cannot win here, then where will they ever? If we cannot induce the best from someone by arguing at what appears as their worst, we haven't a chance in hell of ever revolting, let alone for a better world. The unity of these same opposites is in us all. Banishment, excommunication, behind-the-back slanders, reductionism, absolutism - ugh! I've had enough of all that. The time to supersede or die is upon us. The banks are about to collapse, the nation about to be dissolved, the pandemics let loose, starvation unleashed. It's my opinion, that we ain't got much time to heal our divided social self….

best,
chris
