On a quick glance I don't think much of Hitchen's article: centrally giving " only the undisguised use of force and the wholesale use of corruption have kept his party in office" as the sole answer to "How has Robert Mugabe been able to rule Zimbabwe for so long?" fails to analyse those groups that have kept him in power.skidmarxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131050.post-66425073210903155702011-04-16T10:24:38.809+01:002011-04-16T10:24:38.809+01:00Weinberg and Turley seem to have a point.

I'm not sure Mick Hume, or any of that ilk ever did, and when SR Gardner says: "n this blog I have taken on some of the reasons given for anti-invention", he does seem to mind inventing some of what the Left says in support of his thesis that because he can only see two ways of seeing the conflict everyone must fit into his categories. I realise that a similar theme has been going on here, I think instead what the traditionally anti-war left has largely done is keep to their anti-imperialist principles, but think hard about how to apply them and not be too condemnatory of those reaching other conclusions (Louis Proyect and Richard Seymour again being examples of this).skidmarxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131050.post-70691480351753114312011-04-16T10:07:44.935+01:002011-04-16T10:07:44.935+01:00The most obvious paragraph from the UNIson report ...The most obvious paragraph from the UNIson report that Eric Lee won't like is this:<br /><i>y. In particular <br />he criticised Trade Union Friends of Israel (TUFI) for the way in which they sought to portray the <br />relationship to justify the concept of ‘normalisation’<br />5<br />between the Palestinian and Israeli trade <br />union movement and accused TUFI of acting dishonestly in its dealings with the PGFTU. The <br />PGFTU was very clear that their relationship with the Histadrut was based primarily on the <br />representation of Palestinians working inside Israel and that they could not have normal relations <br />with the Histadrut whilst they were living under occupation.</i><br />Strange that the other places I've seen this mentioned are both sympathetic to Lee and only focus where he focuses.skidmarxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10131050.post-25124956004970383832011-04-15T18:46:20.340+01:002011-04-15T18:46:20.340+01:00We take whatever crumbs you are willing to throw o...We take whatever crumbs you are willing to throw our way, Bob, so stop apologizing.Noganoreply@blogger.com
