@aniceberg @jeremy6d – not really interested in a theological system that tells people that what’s before our eyes, can’t logically be there

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:11

@jeremy6d @aniceberg – precisely. I simply pointed out the standard barter story has long been proved wrong. Most economists admit this.

@aniceberg @jeremy6d @davidgraebers – absurd. If he wanted to understand them he’d have consulted the book. Also: what radical claims?

Wed 7 Sep 2011 15:52

@aniceberg @jeremy6d @mises – if people are still defending it on “logical” grounds it has nothing to do with logic, it’s become religion

Wed 7 Sep 2011 15:51

@aniceberg @jeremy6d @mises – the barter theory is both logically flawed and has been empirically falsified.

@Perry_DL – I’m spolled. In college I had an artist girlfriend who did incredibly flattering charcoal portraits. But she loved me. Now this.

@skilluminati – well, actually, there have been some Nazis who cited the NC interview as it mentions finance. Best ignore them.

Tue 6 Sep 2011 02:48

@loomnie – yes I seem to have won many over! Now I have to write it up for NC. I wish I could spend my time with better criticism tho

@NohaElShoky – yeah why don’t they just repossess all those battleships they bought with borrowed money and be done with?

@balkanozapatist – hey you know how he ended up! Locke at least died a natural death.

Mon 5 Sep 2011 17:51

@laripley – well then I guess we all have a lot of work to do. Remember to do your part.

Mon 5 Sep 2011 17:50

@karaspita – well he didn’t put in the “as we know it.” If it’s AWKI, then yes, I am quite fine with that!

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – I mean speaking in the abstract. I know you used to say Italian anarchists were an exception – they actually were nuts

Mon 5 Sep 2011 15:56

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – since I wasn’t brought up to think it crazy, it seemed only natural for me to end up embracing it

Mon 5 Sep 2011 15:55

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – I always say most people don’t think anarchism is a bad idea they think it’s crazy. Unworkable. My dad knew better

Mon 5 Sep 2011 15:55

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – yup there he is. He was an ambulance driver. Spent a lot of time in Barcelona too.

Mon 5 Sep 2011 15:49

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – I think it’s what language you were born speaking, or maybe did your PhD in

Mon 5 Sep 2011 15:47

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – apparently they were wise to me. My dad was from Kansas and only learned German in the Int’l Brigades in Spain.

Mon 5 Sep 2011 15:44

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – “…the theories that Continental people make up.” So was the idea for a phony Italian philosopher first born.”

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – NLR almost outright said “you can’t just make up theories! Only Italians, French, Germans can. Anglophones just interpret

@Wu_Ming_Foundt NLR commissioned a piece, told me what to write, then killed it without even letting me respond to the (wrong) comments

@Wu_Ming_Foundt – ah, then it has a car park. 1st thing I got when I googled it. All goes back to a hideous interaction with New Left Review
