[edit] Still a Marxist
This article says nothing of Geras' erstwhile status as a Marxist. It appears that he is now an apostate, though nominally Marxist -- which the Economist thought good news. Is he experiencing a transitional period? It is worth noting that he supported the first imperialist assault on Iraq, which must be seen as a prelude to his loss of faith. -- mr9
- See Talk:Euston Manifesto#Norman Geras. In fact, I'll cut and paste the relevant text here:
- Norm insists that, whatever others call him, he is still a Marxist---and definitely not post-Marxist. He's probably better qualified than most people to judge this: what with his being a recognized expert on Marxism and his being Norman Geras.
- That comment comes from a friend of Prof Geras. (By Wikipedia rules, it cannot be used in an article, but it has the virtue of explaining Prof Geras's position quite clearly.) Cheers, CWC 10:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
