"Why in the world do you "attack those who attack you"?"

After about ten years of being attacked and lied about in public by dialecticians, and 'turning the other cheek' in response, I just got sick of it. So, for the last 15 years, I have always endeavoured to give as good as I get, often worse. I have merely carried this policy over onto to the internet over the last three years.

If it puts a few comrades off my work, so be it.

In fact, the vast majority of my posts are non-insulting. I only attack those who attack me, or who have shown in the past that they are not interested in rational or comradely debate with me.

oops, here's what I meant to link to:

"Soviets" refers to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_(council)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker%27s_council

Sure. There's nothing contradictory about a vanguard party leading to council communism, in fact that's what Lenin promised ("How can anyone oppose the transfer of all power in the state to the Soviets?"), and might have delivered if they hadn't had the civil war/Western invasion.

I'll let you decide that for yourself.

I just started that Economics: Marxian and Neoclassical book.

It's pretty decent, so far, if you want a basic understanding of both theories. And by basic, I mean basic. It goes as far as to explain what the words "theory" and "logic" mean in the beginning of the book. But it's still pretty good...Marxism can be a ***** to understand, if whomever is teaching it gives convoluted definitions. (Which seems to happen quite often, in books I've read on the subject.)

Anyway, good so far. I'll see how I like it when I finish it, though.
