Even the photo you have chosen of MM adds to this association. He looks like a businessman and he is meant to. That's the pitch. How often does he associate with the poor vs how often does he associate with business is a good way to get the much-needed pie-chart. Re-read the Schrumpeter. It is not a recipe for passivity; moaning about the state of the world and still sipping those capaccinos is, we feel. Why would we want to hurl words into the wheelie-bin of your chatroom? You think that proves activism? Sorry, we disagree. Re. the Greeks ... a starting point from many possible starting points. Of course there are others. No-one suggested otherwise. Why the long face? ...and the whole indoctrination/education thing ... please. Such a moot point. And you are merely caricaturing what Eagleton said. Cf. his own reworkings in, say, 'Ideology of the Aesthetic'. Not many jokes in it, though. Your Morris dungheap metaphor doesn't work either. The House of Commons might, as you suggest, be filled with poo, but your quip fails because poo ain't active enough to drop bombs. Like we said earlier, feel free to think otherwise....'.
