Revolutionary Rants

I still haven’t made it in to the Brit Blog top blogs section. How disappointing. Even more disappointing when you take the time to look at some of the blogs that are in there… Never mind.

I have spent all of today reading about Holocaust denial. I am looking forward to our final two seminars this Thursday: one is on Marcuse, the other on today’s reading material. It will be interesting to see how people react to the whole holocaust denail thing, as, up til now, we have mostly plumped for complete freedom to say things, even if those things are down right sh*t. Will it be so this week?

The cause of free speech is not helped by David Irving, so I am hoping we will be looking more at Chomsky’s arguements than the reactionary, dubious tripe Irving comes out with. Should make for an interesting discussion, anyway.
