PS--It even might be new to suggest that Republicanism could be fun! Add some Abbey Hoffman. "We'll stop making fun of you Brits when you go back home and leave us be to be us."

Looking forward to the crazy-out-on-a limb positive Republicanism! The two of you could cook it up,I'm sure. How about anarchist Sinn Fein, with a strong undercurrent of Thoreau? Who will be the future if not you?

Mark, regardless, it is still a good piece. These are issues that need to be brought out in the open and I think your piece does it very well and constitutes an alternative perspective. To discuss the inconsistencies in SF is not always synonymous with bashing it.

Anthony,

Thanks for the kind words and giving me a space on your blog.

I'm now a bit unhappy with the piece or at least using it here as my 2nd guest entry. Wish something else had caught my interest over another critique of SF or their leadership. I hate this idea many hold that dissenting republicanism is really just anti-SFism and don't fancy being part of contributing to it.

If I submit anything else to you it'll have to be crazy out-on-a-limb positive republicanism - wonder what that looks like!

Mark, it is good that people find different things to interest them in the Hari interview. It widens our horizons and prevents the 'one size fits all' view holding court. What interested you did not interest me so much at the start but on reading your piece it is indeed a very illuminating approach to take. Good thought inducing piece.
