OK, how exactly are we supposed to do this here?<p>The original statement may have different interpretations, but none of them result in mapping &quot;anti-colonialism&quot; to &quot;socialism.&quot; There&#x27;s just no way to get from A to B actually looking at what was said.<p>Then he comes along and says he meant something completely different. No relation to the original statement. Apparently a moment of total brain confusion.<p>Do we take him at his word? I suppose we could, but then we&#x27;re basically giving everybody a free pass to retroactively alter any statement they&#x27;ve made in any way if they don&#x27;t like the reaction.<p>For what it&#x27;s worth, I don&#x27;t dislike Mr. Andreessen and have only a vague idea of who he even is (something to do with Netscape, right?).
