And of course, nobody actually has defended CRT by correcting the views presented (or then I've missed that, which can happen). Only few smirk about t...

Interesting, but I assume Jeremy Corbyn surely wasn't a Fabian (or am I wrong?). The way how Blair was against Corbyn and predicted a disaster (which ...

All in the former British Empire, as I said. And of course there might be influences and exchanges of ideas with international relations. But then, I ...

This I accept. The strong bonds are quite apparent here. Outside of that realm there come many differences and obstacles more than the language barrie...

I think this is quite small compared to what lengths the Soviet Union went to finance and control Communist parties all over the World. UK Labour Part...

Then you start to be more of a tin-foil hat conspiracist. You see, "the whole world" has in itself other actors than the US and the West as Putin's Ru...

I would say that this is something close to every social democratic movement that has been in power in Western Europe. All of them don't directly link...

This is very interesting. This reinforces my view that CRT and also the "Culture Wars" play well to those in power as a divide and rule -strategy to s...

Good observation. We tend to say something is a conspiracy if the agenda or the objectives aren't publicly declared about some action or policy. Hmm. ...

Historians do mention the anarchist factions in the Spanish Civil War, yet the reason is that anarchism hasn't simply been so successful as Marxism-Le...

What I referred is to the narrative that once the leftist intelligentsia understood that communism was bankrupt, they changed to the Frankfurt School ...

Let's leave that subject, yes. Likely so. But also something that came from literary theory doesn't seem to be the next phase of communism, as some sa...

Actual war isn't the same as the media coverage of the war. Where Baudrillard puts far too much emphasis on the coverage, the propaganda part of the w...

Oh I didn't mean to refer to you, but in general.

The preaching zealots make a more lively debate than the dreary timid professional, who confuses the audience with multiple viewpoints of the issue at...

A question for those who live in the UK and are citizens there: Does being British matter to you? Are people OK if you weren't British anymore, but on...

That's a good example of how complex policy issues in education are. Yet simple answers with a simple focus on any issue are easy to grasp, the realit...

Oh yes, the state of Maine is far more multicultural than Finland. And indeed, few countries are so homogenous as my country. Yet I do see the same pr...

Children for more affluent families tend to fair better than children from poor one's. 27 million went to an area that is has more whites than US aver...

It's telling that a lot of leftists who indeed are leftists do oppose the theory, unlike who seems to think that it's just a red scare issue while the...

And here's the important issue. This a problem of class and income inequality, which goes beyond race. Yet better to put the emphasis on the racial si...

So thought many who considered themselves being Yugoslavians...

I think in the clearest case it was. One side just got beaten so that general Powell, later the secretary of state, thought it was "unchivalrous" (or ...

The basic problem is that communist revolutions don't have safety valves: they don't limit the powers of the revolution and I'd say the attitude towar...

Sometimes that something doesn't matter to you is equivalent to denial. I remember Jean Baudrillard writing an article "The Gulf War did not take plac...

And countries with more efficient economies end up being prosperous and those that aren't end up constructing trade barriers that make them even worse...

So instead of having later just the Soviet Union and Red China we would have earlier a Soviet Germany and Soviet Russia? That likely would have just m...

Well, it's said that being communist was hip in the 20's while in the 30's it had already passed as the informed noticed what Stalin was doing in the ...

Nordic countries? How? Swedes luckily stayed out of the WW2, Denmark and Norway were occupied and my country after being narrowly saved by German assi...

Of course social democracy movements have not been historically any friends to the communists, yet otherwise you are right. But as social democrats ha...

The basic fact is that if technological advancement will, as it has in history done, solve the problems of today, that won't happen in a World with le...

The libertarian might be perhaps happy about this. Let's take the example of how suddenly US became again a major producer of oil. Was the shale oil &...

That's exactly so. Yet they do give far more than a rat's ass if their wealth and power would be challenged. And hence when the focus is on tiny minor...

And that would be the truly important discussion. But have you noticed the absence of a down-to-Earth and realistic debate about long term energy poli...

I mean that the elite is totally OK with the "woke" agenda and discourse being on the center stage of the public discourse. That corporations and orga...

But now you are praising technology and saying that it can be an answer and that doesn't sound nice. It sounds awful. Technology. Boo!!! No, we have t...

They had good ideas just what the scientific method was about. 200 years ago, that is. No need for a post-modern approach on that.

I think the real issue is that the US has really serious socio-economic problems as the middle class isn't growing, and people aren't happy about the ...

I'll blame Malthus. His theories were have been so successful as the intelligentsia took it to heart. Doesn't matter if it hasn't been correct model o...

I think that many believe that it's only the small details that are open questions now. They assume that the big questions have been already answered ...

Sorry, I think I don't get your bottom line, could you rephrase that what you said?

Well, being "post"-everything is so hip. Who wants to admit that everything they think has already been thought by a person that has been dead for age...

What is true in the present or the future depends how things go. One might describe very accurately a specific narrative that would happen what in the...

Primary thing to learn: never believe that people are like the stereotypes portray them, it's all just partly true. But not all true.

Or perhaps explaining your reasoning? People are quite open to new ideas here in PF.

Lol. I think that you just assume that this site is leftist. That's the typical stereotype of a "Philosophy Forum". Sure, there are some who would cal...

Defining everything in it as something good and creating a juxtaposition between individualism and collectivism. Those who promote individualism often...

All those things I'll never know or come aware during my lifetime. Those things really exist. Not the limits of the scientific method, but simple logi...

Well, the Chinese aren't alone in that field... If this was a top discussion board I guess then it would be different, but PF is backwater.

No, simply when people start forgetting too much of the negative aspects of the totalitarian system. So much that their view isn't in line with the hi...
