Simon Ward wrote: "I'm a unrelenting, unapologetic Marxian called Simon ..." Nothing wrong with being a Marxist. The trick is in avoiding the socialism bit. Really, it doesn't fit. Simon: "Really, Phil? Really really?" Yup. Really. Simon wrote: "I always love this kind of analytic retrospective, especially as applied to one's own work. 'Actually I meant it this way', 'You shouldn't read more into it', 'I was only...' etc etc." How nice for you. I am however a bit confused why you bring it up in this context. But hey, if it works for you, who am I to discourage you from telling? Simon: "Racism doesn't suit you Phil. It really doesn't." I know. Why do you keep trying to make it fit?
