Anti communist or anti Stalinist? Or even anti Marxist-Leninist? Homage is a complicated book to place because it's been interpreted so baby different ways across eras. But it's ha…

I think it's human nature under capitalism. I think before the 1800s there were loads of different societies that valued things like community and mutual support over "got mine". T…

A party that wants to kill my and a party that wants to kill me politely are the same. Yeah, sure, I can discern one is smiling, but practically the "choice" I have is die or die (…

You think he changed because he was worried about either admin? I think he changed because he sees the outcome of an election as an endorsement of his beliefs by the populace.

You use these words like they are axiomatically evil. Like, "it's a foreign project"... so is my Nintendo. Are you afraid or worried about foreign things? A lot of the world does a…

"Why would an adult not hit someone when that someone hits them?" Some people believe that not retaliating stops cycles and systems. Some of us have principles beyond the very chil…

Do they? Do they actually? I'm not sure the U.S. has control sufficient to exercise meaningful jurisdiction, even if it exists on paper. Big companies have too much influence in Co…
