I hadn't seen that prescient pronouncement, but somehow it doesn't surprise me. Thank you for releasing this again to our awareness. I for one am happy that CM, BO and Guillaume all not only exist but continue to show us how's it's done, against all odds and with startling precision. Amazing.

Marker's coda on Coreenes is poignant: "During the Cold War I used to say to my comrades on both sides, 'What you call the errors of socialism is socialism, what you call unbridled capitalism is capitalism.' For now only one of those two behemoths remains on its feet, but the other’s defeat has not humanized the survivor, on the contrary. Interviewed on television shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Claude Lelouch, who is not a Marxist dog, made a comment full of good sense: 'Communism had at least this much going for it, it scared the money-men – and left to their own devices, the money-men are capable of anything.'"

We'd have to ask Guillaume, but he doesn't talk much... I am glad, whatever the case, that there are "unrepentent Marxists" out there still. Great Horkheimer quote on your About page...
