Participatory academics

Michael Albert spoke at the New School today. Finally, a lecture worth listening to. I mean, he came in, he told a bunch of funny stories about his life and about organizing, he dropped a few f-bombs, and he dispensed crusty truisms like "The difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is an argument between the haves as to how to deal with the have-nots." We all sat around and listened and gabbed until the facilities guy came by at 10:30p and told us the building was closed. Proles.
