Response to Lamb's letter (New Socialist Magazine)

For those of you that read new socialist, you might have read Sebastian Lamb's letter and the article by Simmons that came before it, this is a response I sent them by email.

Salut NSG,

I'm kinda disappointed in Sebastien Lambs letter to a magazine he himself
is part of the editing group for. Its really disrespectful way to do
things, especially since Day has contributed beforehand to NSG. I think
when speaking with people whom we should be comrades with it is important
to try and stay respectful. I found the last line to itself be
"regurgitation of reactionary mysticism"; however this type was of the
positivist-communist variety.

I also find it regrettable that their was such a misinterpretation of
Foucault. Both Day and Foucault are activist/intellectuals who work for or
did work of social change. What in the hell would be the point if you
thought it was doomed to failure?
