Starting from the bottom: 1) Calling someone a bad writer isn't an insult, it's an honest appraisal of their literary talents. 2) Where's the insult? They themselves said they're the child of a CIA agent and that they th

This is like a cop saying they're trying to be fair in mediating between the dozen people mobbing me and unjustifiably downvoting all my posts, and me for simply saying well-founded, well-cited things that disagree with the liberal eth

Never agreed to such nonsense. I seize upon what I find interesting and leave the rest to dry.

Think whatever you want, but know that the idea that "everyone was racist", or that any Westerners were at the humble vanguard of anti-racism, is utter bunk.

You can spin it however you want, his prediction was abysmally wrong, both in Europe and America and everywhere else.

Plenty of societies with castes had no revolution, plenty of societies without castes had some. Post-revolution America also had Black slavery, which made it a caste society. Even if we restrict ourselves to America, Tocqueville betrays zer

>the individual, placed with us, by his vices and his ignorance, on the lowest step of society, is yet the first among savages. I think Tocqueville speaks very clearly for himself, and I don't how if there exist mental gymnastics de

It's very scandalous, but as I said, people will defend Tocqueville because they like what he says about them. Quid pro quo.

Sort of. You can check this out, it says a few positive things about America near the end: https://redsails.org/what-is-capitalism/ edit: Can't reply (HN being silly as usual) but, regarding being scandalized at t

Well, starting from the 1840s onwards, we saw far more revolutions than ever before. The European revolts of 1848, the Paris Commune, the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, all the others (Vietnamese, Korean,

"Hitchens was first a Marxist, then a neocon, then an atheist missionary of some sort. Now he's dead — and that's the first position of his that I find fully convincing."

This is just the fascist mindset. "Everyone is as depraved as me, so I can and should be infinitely depraved preemptively."

This sounds nice, and I more or less agree, but has zero political rhetorical/ persuasive power. Sticking to this line is basically resigning yourself to the status quo while claimimg yourself morally above it. Just for one thing: geri

No, I won't do this useless tit tat game. You're welcome to read a Black American socialist, Glen Ford, and his brief account of where things were headed as far back as 2014, though: https://redsails.org/ford-on-uk

This is even worse. "It was just like, a tiny clique of villains with almost no support!" To feel good about a wrong theory of a particular war you put forth an even more wrong theory of statecraft.

Absolutely not. The Nazi project was extremely logical, and had massive conscious support from Germany, especially from its elites. Germany explicitly argued they wanted to replicate the American expansion into the "Far West" but

I think "brainwashing" is a nonsense, racist concept invented by the CIA in the 1950s, by agent Edward Hunter passing himself off as a "journalist," in order to superciliously rationalize away the powerful appeal of comm

I get it now. Americans think "communism" is an icky political thing that Soviets were coerced to like, unlike "freedom and democracy (TM)", worthy abstract ideals that all Americans (nay, all Humans) should rightfully w

A farmboy going to space praising communism makes a whole lot of sense. Just compare to the average nonsense you hear even impoverished American peasants say about "freedom."

Nobody wants to "level Taipei." Stop attributing unsubstantiated, irrational desires to the people you consider your enemies. The goal has always been reunification, and that's what it will remain even if the U.S. does someth
