Re: [xmca] Progress: Reality or Illusion?

[Andy Blunden <ablunden@mira.net>]

Fair point Greg, but if we interpret the question about "progress" as 
"meaningful" in the sense you give it as "preferable" it really is 
meaningless, isn't it? So if I say late capitalism represents progress, 
meaning I prefer to live under late capitalism (so long as of course I 
get to choose which spot I occupy and don't get John Rawls' veil of 
ignorance) what on earth does that mean to me or anyone else?
