Louis Godena keeps crossposting from Spiked. I wonder if he has a
political analysis of these renegades from Marxism. Or maybe Louis has
washed his hands of Marxism himself? In any case, Spiked online is
pro-capitalist even though they are rather demure about using the word
capitalism itself. Mostly, it is euphemisms about "economic development"
or "human progress", all in all reminding me a lot of the sort of thing
that Ronald Reagan used to say when he was the host of GE Theater in the
1950s.
