    Publicity stunts I mean. Also, I am not saying that the end of the New Left was good. I am only saying that they were able to achieve their ends. Their ideas did gain currency. I think that is pretty hard to deny.

    I think the New Left was ultimately successful. Its ideas have entered the popular consciousness. Let me be clear; I am only trying to demonstrate that people perceived as outsiders can have their ideas become mainstream---the publicity they generated did assist the decimination of their ideas. History is filled with people who used publicity to bring

    Also, Agorism is generally bad. It is the idea that black markets should be fostered in order to undermine the state. Since lawfulness is a virtue even if you oppose the state, I don't see how you can claim I am speaking ignorantly.

    Notice the use of "that"---referring to the stuff on his blog. I am saying that it is absurd for him to claim that the free market and marxism are the same. You misunderstood me, dude.

    I don't know whom you are quoting, but that comment is the most terribly sexist thing I have heard in a long time. It is disgusting to think that gettiing laid is somehow a necessary perservative of the female soul. Vile. It is also simply wrong to paint Ayn Rand as celibate. She was married and for a time had a lover (with her husband's consent

    Look, my mother is a lawyer of 30 years. She looked at the footage and thought that the judge was over-reacting. Also, getting branded as a loon is not a problem. Consider all the stunts carried out by the new left in the 60's and 70's. Yet now they are mainstream: They are in power. All publicity is good publicity.
