Though Cowards Flinch

There won’t be any major articles today, and probably none til Thursday. I’m up in London this evening for the third installment of the Left New Media Forum, the website of which shall hopefully soon be operational. There’s also a bit of a Compass gig that I might catch the first hour or so of.

Over the next week, however, I have some good articles to roll out. There’ll be a discussion of what goes on tonight, at LNMF. I’ll finally get a chance to reply to some of those who took me up on my criticism of Cruddas. There will be an addition to my series of articles on Gramsci, taking up with Socialism and Culture and a few other early articles.

I’ll also have a review and some selections from Craig Murray’s new book, Catholic Orangemen of Togo and other Conflicts I have known. I’m also looking forward to Paul publishing his argument that Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe aren’t entirely a waste of time to read, and I may carry a short rebuttal, or may not. The jury is out.
