Re: The 'formalising' of dialectics.

Fine, then you need to show what that outlook is and back it up with
some evidence, otherwise reasonable folks will continue to view this
as psuedo-religious obscurantism backed up with tautological arguments
by people who might not know what they're talking about.  If you can't
explain it, then there's got to be a problem like adhering to some
sacrosanct medieval doctrine emotionally in the manner of a religious
belief.

Workers will back revolution when they not only see the need for it
but also view as a practically credible option.  The idea that
pragmatism is bad because its "bourgois ideology" will not do,
moreover it is also an diversion from more pressing ideas like
economics and the mortgage meltdown.  Basically this dialectics stuff
is a philistine ****bboleth of petty bourgois intellectuals who think
the workers movement needs them to interpret hidden mystical ideas and
laws.  seems to me like bull****, what Lenin called all the sophisms
by which privileged cl***** try to obscure their interests.  No, we
don't need dialectics and we don't need them, rather we need to look
out for OUR OWN interests, not those of political cults.  Wohlforth
got into that and became the laughingstock of the Left.
