In point of fact they are a clique of liberal dilettantes wallowing in petty bourgeois individualism. Like the old joke about recognizing University of Chicago professors by their hunter’s shirts, petty bourgeois liberals are typically chicory drinkers in Birkenstock sandals, pacifists and “Nature Cure” quacks, and the “Bohemian” art girls who live on daddy’s trust fund.
Equating Communism with the bourgeois liberalism of the I.S.O. is like equating Christianity with the bourgeois pacifism of Quakerism. (To continue the metaphor, Trotskyites are like Unitarians, Maoists are like Pentacostalists, and the “New Left” is one more manifestation of the whole “New Age” aversion to deep-thinking.)
PS: Just for Mr. Maass’s information, homosexuality is a bourgeois deviation and will disappear of its own accord after the Revolution. Fighting for “gay and lesbian liberation” is like campaigning for the right of the poor to sleep under bridges instead of working to end the system of production for profit that alienates and impoverishes the working man!
