Intellectual Curiosity on the Web. Wow!

Ed Rooksby sees the light and joins the good guys. Well, sort of. More important, he's willing to declare as much in public and has the courage to admit to intellectual fallibility. I'm most impressed.

And he uses a quote from Mayakovsky we're used to seeing somewhere else.

We must have read a different post.

Ha ha!

That's why I said "Well, sort of."

I understood Ed to mean that he rejected the idea of violent revolution (which I agree with) in addition to rejecting the possibility of revolution in the near future (which I accept with regard to the UK but not, say, Mexico).

I suppose he's still a Marxist of sorts, so he hasn't really joined the good guys. Just less of a bad guy.

As I commented on his thread, I think it was the company he chooses to keep. ;-)
