Okay, so, perhaps I shouldn't have made the claim that you are insane. What I am saying is that tim wood just compared you to a stray dog that has pis...
Who have I called a racist? I'm saying that the Right bemoans terms like "woke", all the while relying upon other thought-terminating clichés, thus a ...
Well, okay, then, but I am saying that, as an insane person, you are probably somehow insane as well. I can't rationalize as to why a person would do ...
It is as suspected. You wouldn't get it. It's nothing for or against you, as you'd have to have fucked up your life in a particular way in order to ge...
There's a scene in the filmed version of Catch-22 where Nately, who is played by Art Garfunkel recites a variation of that that Zapata quote to an old...
Okay, but what's the point of continuing to have a go at NOS4A2 when he is probably insane and suffering from the delusion that he enjoys that this th...
It is both of those things, but you can make sense of it all if you do read and think about what I post. My interpretation of Marxism-Leninism is crit...
In order for me to have made an "apologia" for the Spartacists, they would have be guilty of something. You have only speculated upon that they could ...
Oh, I see what you're saying. Of the paper, you had levelled the charge as if it were akin to Lenin's ban on the press leading up to and during the Ru...
I don't really want to keep on like this, but I just don't think that you've put enough thought into this, as I have just done so, myself. The first o...
I haven't followed this too closely, but, to my estimation, though his position is what it is, he hasn't said anything that is too damaging. Though I ...
I don't understand why you, as one of the mods, are so dead set on keeping this going. There's not really a way to explain this without just kind of l...
I don't know. I can't imagine that reading 400 pages of personal and political insults and attacks can possibly have had a positive impact upon a pers...
I've just noticed that they entered this debate, at least, two years ago around page 144 and have consistently commented within this thread since. The...
@"James Riley" I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but @"NOS4A2" has completely ignored that there are 545 pages of people criticizing the Tru...
To my experience, it's kind of a habit of philosophers on online forums to claim that arguments are somehow fallacious in general. This, I suspect, re...
The utilization of the term, "woke", is just a way for anti-racist activists to popularize the Black Lives Mater Movement on social media platforms, l...
I don't know that that comes off quite right, and, so, will make another attempt to explain this. I am a vegetarian. I used to eat bivalves because I ...
I knew that this thread would go this way, but do feel like things would go better for everyone were they willing to entertain that, from a philosophi...
After reading Bommi Baumann's How It All Began, I came to realize that kind of lot of people that I had met in the Anarchist movement were fairly simi...
My interpretation of what is invoked by "statism" and "collectivism" is more or less anagolous to the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union, but I think...
Luxemburg was critical of Lenin, though. I have already pointed this out in this thread. I'm not saying that the KPD would've been all bread and roses...
It was Groener and Schleicher. Ebert formed a pact with Groener whose successor, in a succession of schemes to secure power himself, directly contribu...
I have mixed up some of the information, but there is truth to this suspicion. I was looking for the Ebert–Groener pact. I think that I remember our p...
"On Sunday 5 January, as on 9 November 1918, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the centre of Berlin, many of them armed. In the afternoon th...
Right, but what I am saying is that where the thought-terminating cliché, "social fascists", stems from is this historical event. I have, perhaps, ela...
After reading The Coming Insurrection in my early twenties, I became an acolyte of Communization before later leaving the Anarchist movement in protes...
Why, thank you! I usually assume for everyone here to just simply be vexed by what I have to say about anything, which is probably my fault, really. I...
The seminal Communist text was written in the mid-1800s, i.e., the Nineteenth Century, and we were talking about sentiments within the same country th...
Liebknecht was an ally of the late Marx, who effectively advanced both revolution and Liberal reform. What I have repeatedly stated is that I don't re...
I would like to say that there were instances of both the SPD and the KPD collaborating with the Nazis in their respective quests to destroy one anoth...
Less than twenty years into the 1900s. The Communist Manifesto was first published in 1848. I don't think that it's a stretch to suggest that it did t...
This is all historical speculation, but I think that council communism could've turned out a lot better than the Soviet experiment. I come from a part...
There's a certain irony to invoking a majoritarian ethos in a conversation about the legacy of Bolshevism, I think. Hear me out on this. If you go to ...
I am saying that the SPD's alliance and appointment of various figures within the German military led to the collapse of the Weimar Republic, and, so,...
Thank you! I was sure that there must be Final Fantasy fans on this forum and awaiting their arrival. XII begins so well, but, because they lost their...
The Sparacist Uprising, also known as the January Uprising, was led by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, who can be described as having been council...
Within the discourse of the "Cultural Cold War", the "third camp" is a position outside of the Western Exceptionalist ethos that culminated in The End...
I was referring to what happened in Germany. That the German Social Democratic party betrayed the Communist Party of Germany during the Spartacist Upr...
I'm just saying that I thought that this thread was an off the cuff inquiry into whether or not you can reject all isms and have been wondering about ...
I think that the concept of secular religions originated as an analysis of totalitarianism. The idea, I think, was to suggest that the sacral traditio...
I, too, like the Nordic Model, but the Social Democrats just have to cope with the political legacy of a different totalitarian regime, being the Thir...
You do have to let the world become however it naturally does and can't impose your will upon the world, but there are a few basic inferences about so...
I am a great fan of Milan Kundera and wished that I listened to him better when I was younger. To the credit of the libertarian Left, there is a longs...
I don't think that that quite gets at what I'm trying to glean at either. A good example from the Left is that of the concept of "state capitalism", w...
One thing I've noticed on the part of the Left is to just simply deny any affiliation with the former Soviet Union whatsoever. During the October Revo...
I they'd like to publish it, I don't mind. I wouldn't expect for them to, though. Sure thing. You've kind of got to read it all to get the whole gist,...
