"Which Side Are You On?" - Billy Bragg
As Corvus rightly points out, my prior post is not a fully satisfactory discussion of the status of the left within the blogosphere. I plead guilty, although with my usual bullshit reliance on historical context and nuance -- it's a deadly habit in the blogosphere. I am going to try and work on a further post that deals more directly with Freddie DeBoer's thesis, hopefully at lunch time.
In the meantime, though I strongly recommend a follow up post by DeBoer critiquing the flaws in the world view of some of the more free market oriented liberals on the net. The post gets to the essence of some of my own thinking in this realm, particularly issues of genuine power versus paternalism in matters of economics. It's well worth a read.
What's up with you?
