Post No. I'm not smearing Said. Nobody called Said a Marxist. Nobody said anything negative about him. Positive, even. You made all of that up out of thin air. You're arguing with yourself here. You seem to imagine he has a deep connection with the WSWS that simply does not exist. Two articles in 30 years is not a deep connection. Take off the tinfoil hat, boy. My observation is that someone shows up in "dirtbag left" (their own label for themselves, and content I enjoy) media then, in short order, appears on SJMR with someone thinking it's shocking to us (it isn't). Dirtbag Left refers to things like the Chapo podcast (which I've never listened to). It certainly does not refer to Edward Said or Adolph Reed. (find a reference indicating otherwise if you believe I'm wrong.) The only person pretending anyone has unfamiliarity with Said is you. You made a post imagining that people had in this thread had only just heard of Said as a writer. Then you seemed to indicate it was through WSWS articles from 30 years ago. Scroll up. The entire point of most of these responses has been, "yea, we know Said, so what?" You apparently do not know his views on political cor/rectness (now known as Wokeism), as you have not responded to them.
