Richard Seymour and co., the pallbearers over at Lenin’s Tomb, have recently started to sing the praises of the late Andre Gorz, the very same Gorz who was rubbished and ridiculed back in the 1980s for pointing out that we can’t pretend that the world Marx was writing about in the 1860s is the same […]
A book by the title A Psychologist in Germany was written by Saul K. Padover, and published in 1946 by Phoenix House Ltd. Padover was a member of the OSS, in the psychological warfare unit.

The Leninists in the U.K. can’t get enough of Badiou. They wish they were Badiou. He is their new Lenin.
