Re: Anglo Disease: The end of an era? (4.00 / 3)

Yes, but it's also worth pointing out that most of the Marxism Today people ended up signing the Euston Manifesto. Praising "muscular (neo)-liberalism for attacking the correct enemies, they failed to notice or even care who was in the driving seat or what the final destination might be.

Stalin had a phrase for them, "useful idiots".

I don't think Jacques went that far, but by being part of Demos he's certainly a paid-up Blairite. So he might as well have signed the damn thing.

Well, I only recently noticed he's still writing (and didn't know about his involvement in Demos) - but he does seem to have distanced himself from blairism quite a lot lately: (1, 2 [scary title though])
