I didn't say that only intellectuals support totalitarianism. And do notice that I said "part of the so-called" when referring to the the intellectual...
Of course there are smart thinking people who understand how the World is. But rarely are they the ones that set the lines in the public discourse. Th...
Economy is the thing that has an effect on Americans. Just look at the rapid pace how the time shortens for the US to double it's debt. This 1,9 trill...
It's the context that defines what we mean by modernity. And oh boy, do we use modern/modernity/post-modern etc. in a huge scope of totally different ...
In my view this has improved somewhat: at least when Turkey opened it's borders (just prior the Covid outbreak last year) for the next influx of migra...
And after Mao died, it wasn't an advanced economy. That's the key point. History and where countries start from matter. Now there's a revisionist line...
Have the US go back from Europe to eat apple pie and have the EU collapse and Russia is the strongest country in Europe. That's why they are so agains...
They have had now since their independence 73 years of insurgency, so go for it! Yes, now for a revolutionary war where they finally get peace. This t...
I think nobody will waste their, sorry, your time. Besides, we might get blinded by the sheer radiance of your vast knowledge, we ignorant mortals. :s...
I think far more successful will be the young Americans who so vehemently oppose to everything their country stands for. Who better to promote communi...
YES!!! We need an Asian version of the Syrian civil war! Oh wait, do we have already that in Myanmar/Burma??? The Tatmadaw (the armed forces of Myanma...
Have we really proved the existence of irrational numbers? That's the name of this thread. Is this a question people are debating for five pages here?...
It's still not so evident. The Belt and Road initiative might be compared to a "Marshall Plan", but China isn't building up an alliance to contain the...
Exactly. And just look at the situation from Deng's point of view: When everybody understands what a disaster the Cultural Revolution was (and before ...
It's typical that you say it resembles Nazi Germany, not that it grew out of something similar to Stalinist Soviet Union, which was close to heart for...
And as the US is a mixed economy, one could argue also that it's not a free market capitalist economy. Or (ignoring the propaganda) and looking at the...
Never heard of the BRIC countries? https://www.oliverstuenkel.com/images/2018/07/BRICS10.jpg Or that basically Soviet Union and Russia has been a majo...
Remember that even the Soviet Union and Communist China had a border conflict in 1969 after the Sino-Soviet Split, starting from things like Mao didn'...
Perfect. What you just said is a prime example of this houlier than thou -attitude so plentiful with Western socialists when it comes to ideology. Wes...
This is simply wrong. It's not. And I know people here: they don't believe and totally disregard totally those that actually say that they are Marxist...
Rationalism and empiricism. Hmm. Would naturalism be close to that? The definition of naturalism is something like: the philosophical belief that ever...
It's not that simple even in a small economy. It's obvious here and in for example Sweden. What it comes down to is that the Nordic system leads to ce...
Partly yes. In a way, governments have lost their power or simply pushed forward an agenda of the most wealthy and corporations. That has happened. Ba...
Free market works better than a command economy, yet for a free market to operate healthily needs a lot more is needed than the Ayn Randian libertaria...
When inequality between the rich and the poor is widespread and rampant, better to have serious disunity among the masses. That's the scheme of the ru...
Indeed it's worth mentioning what a global endeavor mathematics has been and try to make the subject interesting for students by relating it to their ...
Thank you for giving the references. Still a bit strange, I have to say. 100 years is such a brief period of time in international relations. Here's w...
Just to continue this thread from last year and to show how this kind of thinking and "decolonizing" of science has gone forward and is going forward....
Every treaty? I've never heard of this. Please give a reference or link if this is true. You see, a lot of treaties would be expiring otherwise (the G...
At least when it comes to the exploration of Mars, I think it's great that "the East" has copied the West and created very interesting Space programs....
I don't know which party is more hypocritical here. Starting from W Bush and the Saudi role in 9/11, which was back then a big issue for the Republica...
Isn't that the objective here? Class or what was the slogan..."We are the 99%" would be far too unifying. Wokestan vs Magastan works for the elites ve...
Corruption? Actually might be just the always irritating realpolitik of the Saudi-US alliance, that still is important. Or would it be better that the...
Face reality. Just leave it as it is. You cannot do anything anymore (and luckily, didn't do anything before either). And simply stop being in panic a...
If your title would be the "national race and ethnicity writer for The Associated Press", would your objective be to provide solutions race relations ...
Modernity is the present that we live in, it's a historical period of time. Modernism can be said to be a philosophical movement and can be understood...
Perhaps it should be noted that modernity and modernism are two different things. And of course, improvements happen when we aren't happy and/or satis...
I remember this professor of economic history who preferred cars manufactured earlier than one specific year in the 1970's. That was the year when the...
Likely he will be treated as a hero at least by the CPAC crowd, I forecast. https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2021/02/26/USAT/f4ba7cdb-aae0-480e-9954...
You mean when? End of this year? Maybe that third wave at least in Europe still? Let's hope you are correct. Let's see what they are… besides a rampan...
No, that's only the cry that the two-party system feeds the people and has successfully brainwashed many Americans to think (and hence stay loyal to t...
