One reader's rave

"Thanks for the newspaper with your book review. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with this terrific piece of writing. It is beautiful, complex, scholarly. Only sorry Mr. Freire cannot read it!" -- Ailene

Election Interference by Big Tech



In a video posted on YouTube today, Glenn Greenwald discusses the latest instance of capitalist interference with scientific and political freedom.

Some self-described radicals cite Herbert Marcuse's essay "Repressive Tolerance" as justification for their support of censorship that's supposedly on behalf of the oppressed. The irony is that at the end of that essay, Marcuse negates his own argument, or at least makes it appear practically irrelevant, by saying that this sort of censorship could never actually be implemented because it wouldn't be in the interest of those with the power to do so -- exactly the argument Greenwald makes here. So those who cite him as an influence, insisting the establishment censorship they support really helps the oppressed, ought to explain why he was right about everything else but wrong about the very last thing in the essay.
