What more does a moderate need to know?
- shkkmo 7y agoPerhaps they might want to know what argument you are trying to make? It is not immediately clear from the link you posted. In what way does that thesis have anything to do with Marxism. If anything, it shows Hillary as a "work within the system" standard centrist liberal. Perhaps I am missing something?
- yongjik 7y ago> In 1969, $(person) wrote a 92-page senior thesis ... A real moderate would be immediately suspicious, regardless of political stance, of any claim that a thesis paper written 50 years ago was somehow relevant to the same person's current political position. Besides, I thought colleges were supposed to be a bastion of free ideas where people could say controversial opinions?
- hindsightbias 7y agoWhat’s a real moderate? An on-purpose one or an accidental one? My take on PG’s point is that the vast majority of moderates are on-purpose, and those people are not going to be curious. An accidental one isn’t going to be a real moderate, except occasionally. Otherwise they’d be on-purpose.
- aspaceman 7y agoDo you have a point or just a pointless link? EDIT: Being associated with someone who at one point worked with communists 50 years ago makes you a modern day Marxist? Do these words mean anything to people anymore?
