| I think Dobbin has a point, up to a point. But his overall arguement isn't that inspiring: co-operate, the alternative is worse. This seems to be the default position of progressive activists of Dobbin's generation who have some kind of institutional job. I'd include Robin Mathews and Ron Dart (2 Vi... |
