Small world, isn't it?  Do others remember who denounced the Amherst
"Rethinking Marxism" conference months before it happened ... indeed even
before he had a copy of the full schedule?

... and do you remember those long diatribes against Roemer, Cohen, and
Elster by a person who clearly hadn't read their works?

The members of the RMC/SUNY (Buffalo) may be surprised to hear that they
stand accused of [some of] the same crimes as someone who recently
denounced their group on this list.
