Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

Before the SEP defends Harvard's right to academic freedom, wouldn't it make sense to ask first whether there is academic freedom at Harvard? Surely, they've played a role in the death of history as a subject worthy of study. The subject is hardly taught anywhere. They are as thoroughly postmodern and self-referential as every other academic institution. If all hitherto history is the history of class struggle, where is history taught? The closest you get to it are government press releases which is what largely the newspapers report. The SEP may be rushing to defend something that doesn't really exist. I think academic freedom to teach history at Harvard would be a good idea.

Ted Mccabe, I love your comment here. I have not been able to comment on the WORLD SOCIALIST WEBSITE for years as I was banned as " resident Catholic , fascist , anti-Semite ". My blog page has now more than a MILLION views. Scanning some 18,000 posts will show me to be a rather ordinary independent democratic socialist. I still share WSWS articles with which I agree on my blog and FACEBOOK page ( 5000 friends ). Your comment here will appear on my blog .
