Blogging The Dialectic

Searching around for something to blog, I bounced from this post to this post to this post. I have no idea what's being disputed, but reading Mr. Stoller's post at MyDD I was struck by the following:

There’s a larger problem here, which is that you cannot just segment off blogs into their own little box. Or rather, you can on the right, since right-wing blogs are basically irrelevant. But on the left, there is no blogosphere that can be separated from the progressive movement at large. [Emphasis added]

As we've discussed at the other place, right wing blogs are irrelevant, as are left wing blogs. But am I the only one who hears a echo of "The party is the vanguard of the Proletariat"?

The only true thing Marx ever said was that history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy but the second time as farce.
