I haven't read Nussbaum's Frontiers of Justice, but I did read Creating Capabilities when it first came out, which outlines her approach to the Capabi...
is a specific tax policy sufficient for doing a socialism now? The article doesn't hide the percentage of national wealth owned by the state when home...
I didn't say that Norway was a socialist country. You stated, "socialism didn't work anywhere it was tried", and yet we have an example here of a coun...
I told you that this reading of Marx stems primarily from David Harvey who has been teaching classes on Marx and Capital for around 40 years. Which is...
The students clearly articulated the issue they had with the food and it wasn't because they weren't "getting what they paid for". That's not even how...
But as I point out, many of these stories are actually fairly innocuous. In this example, minority college students from other countries were upset at...
I've been seriously studying philosophy for nearly a decade. @"Bitter Crank", who is over 70 years old, has been studying philosophy and Marxism in pa...
The Communist Manifesto was a political pamphlet written during the political upheavals that spread across Europe in 1848. It was an attempt to both e...
To put it simply, Marx wrote how Capitalism tends, in various ways, towards crises, which of course is historically true. The instability of the syste...
Excluding wealth from home-ownership, Norway's government owns over 70% of the nation's entire wealth, which is notably more than the percentage of we...
Fantastic article summing up the road where a growing faction of right-wingers are heading, and the outright hypocrisy of their concerns and grievance...
I found this article to be particularly useful in understanding the nuances of 'cultural appropriation', and I strongly recommend reading it. The auth...
Conservatives bemoan how we've strayed from a religious-based morality, but this assumes that religious traditions, laws, and practices from the past ...
I'm reading an article in favor of Conservative Democracy by Yoram Hazony, whose recent book The Virtue of Nationalism was named 2019 Conservative boo...
As the late Umberto Eco noted, Fascism is a synecdoche. A "fuzzy totalitarianism" with "no quintessence". This is useful in both theoretical conceptua...
Interesting, as I've seen this been passed around that she was granted state-sanctioned euthanasia, but that did seem decidedly questionable given tha...
Yeah I mean these supposedly zealous advocates for Free Speech(tm) either willfully turn a blind check towards censorship regarding issues they dislik...
If you are hand-wringing over the procedural elimination of gun rights whilst the GOP is moving forward to overturning Roe v. Wade then I don't know w...
I mean I don't care much what a comedian says, and "social attitudes" haven't been much of a concern for the GOP who passed massive tax cuts, pushed f...
The Australian government issued a mandatory buyback program and subsequently destroyed 20% of privately owned guns, which reduced the number of suici...
If you actually bothered to read the New York Times article I provided, you'll find studies/material showing that a comprehensive comparison across 10...
Ok I'm not denying that the causes of homicides are multivarient. I'm arguing that more gun ownership corresponds to more gun violence and that less g...
I've shown multiple times that research on gun ownership routinely shows that more guns correlates to more gun violence. This analysis is true across ...
Yes the lavish wealth bestowed upon a select few wondrously strong individuals makes society "leaner and fitter". Opposition to this is anti-life yess...
Two days ago an op-ed article in the NY Post argued that a "cesspool" of political correctness and "identity politics" have taken over US colleges and...
Pinker's modus operandi is take a typically a downward long term trend, and presenting the current state of this trend as acceptable, or that solution...
It's fairly deceitful to supply a percentage difference without simultaneously supplying the numbers you are comparing. The homicide rate is 0.81 in t...
Gotta hand it to Peterson for convincing a bunch of knuckle-dragging dipshits that he's a fierce proponent of free-speech when he's now hanging out wi...
What you are attempting to describe here is more pointedly a mental healthcare issue, and as the Times article I linked to points out, mental health i...
See this is exactly what's I'm talking about. The responses here are so tortuously awful it's difficult to tell if this is just outright stupidity or ...
This is such a Steven Pinker-esque argument. The discussion is around the increase in right wing terrorism, and the charts provided clearly show this ...
The main use of vehicles and knives is obviously not to kill, and guns are flexible in ways that cars are not, and deadlier in ways that knives are no...
Listen, I firmly believe everyone should be given a platform regardless of the content of their beliefs, so this means of course that, in addition to ...
Probably important to link to the full article within which that chart can be found? Additional graphs and commentary point out that left-wing terrori...
