Dare I ask (or dare I even guess) who is pictured by the title of this section of the forum?...
Best,
Alistair

Now, now, GG, you know it's the Wall Street Journal.

Well, one might hope to have looked a bit younger in 1991, when Marxism Today was dissolved - though why one would have wanted to read that dreadful organ, or what it remotely had to do with Marxism, are a mystery. The reading matter in that particular photograph is Luigi Nono's ...sofferte onde serene..... - far more genuine Marxism in that piece than in the aforementioned journal.  |

"Marxism Today?! It's wasn't so much the Euro-Communism. In the end it was the mail order gifts thing. I couldn't take the socks with the little hammers and sickles on them."
(Not me, sadly. 'Max' in Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll.)

Well, one might hope to have looked a bit younger in 1991, when Marxism Today was dissolved - though why one would have wanted to read that dreadful organ, or what it remotely had to do with Marxism, are a mystery. The reference thereto was obviously not intended to be taken seriously and I was indeed aware that it had been defunct for quite some years, although never having knowingly read an issue of it, I couldn't comment on the quality or validity of its customary contents. The reading matter in that particular photograph is Luigi Nono's ...sofferte onde serene..... - far more genuine Marxism in that piece than in the aforementioned journal. Thank you for that information, Ian - but you're not about to have me rise to the bait on that one! Oh, no no, Nono... Best, Alistair |

never having knowingly read an issue of it That raises all sorts of interesting scenarios! ('Composer drugged and read excerpts from unquialitous leftist organ' being one possible, if unlikely, news headline ...) |

('Composer drugged and read excerpts from unquialitous leftist organ' being one possible, if unlikely, news headline ...) It's the way you tell 'em, too, you know. The phrase "never knowingly underwhelmed" might come to mind, for all that the partnership that gave rise to something very close to it might be regarded by some as an organ of capitalist consumerism. Furthermore, your news headline is not only unlikely, as you suggest, but also sufficiently long and unwieldy to ensure its omission from the tabloids, methinks... Best, Alistair |
