Hi Rog:
Don't be too upset with John B. He is a great fan of Erich Fromm who,
as I learned from a brief search on the net, was a Marxist of the first
order. Take a look at:
http://www.idsi.net/~lepore/fromm/
''There you will find quotes that are not only pro-Marxist and pro-feminist
but anti-democracy, anti-capitalism, anti-consumerism, anti-
materialism . . . well, you name it''.
''It is amazing how much of the hate America rhetoric on this site can be
traced right back to Fromm and his fellow travelers. Yes, the flower
children of the sixties, who Pirsig rightfully condemned for their
stupidity and immorality, are alive and well and still trying to spread
their Marxist collectivist theories in the name of love. Must be that
Cuban paradise under Fidel that holds a strange attraction''.
Did you guys actually ever read a Fromm book? ''The flower children of the
sixties, you want to link Fromm to them?'' Please read ''Marx, Freud and
freedom'' by this author and say these words again!
Platt I believe that if you read Fromm you will understand a lot more of
yourself and certain ideas and their moral 'validity'.
I'm beginning to believe that every leftist opinion in your eyes is immoral
per definition! I know that 'left' means something different in the US as
here in W-Europe(the Netherlands at least!), but why the ressentment?
Davor( a Fromm reader! Proud to be!)
