General of the Line

Ex-writer of another blog which I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name, and all round comments box maven ----- -------- now has a new blog, the magnificently titled Faithful to the Line: posts so far are sharp indeed, particularly on the weirdly muted response of the left (by which we mean the left, not the Labour government or the Guardian, the 'liberal-left', that insufferable American coinage) to the visible bankruptcy of neoliberal capitalism. Naturally lots of this has to do with the list of defeats we suffered from 1979 onwards which obviously will take time to recover from, but even so, one would expect far more unified and coherent a response than we've seen so far. (on which note, join up! Though the practical uses of this group are as yet unexplored, shall we say)
