Judge Holden is my favorite villain of all time; and based off of everything you said I believe if you read Blood Meridian he would be yours too.

What's your opinion on Judge Holden from Blood Meridian? If you've read it of course.

There are really good interviews with Malcolm X live on UA-cam. Worth a watch. One of the greatest public speakers with skin in the game unlike modern speakers and movements Also America was wayyy more racist back there which explains the gravitation towards Nation of Islam (which is separate than viewing Muslim faith in todays lens) and their goals

Good listen dudes!

THE SLANDER

If you can't get into it, why discuss it? The book sparks discussion and I wouldn't classify it as philosophy. The books talks about how we got to where we are in modern society, imo.

No. It's weak writing with no discernible plot. A bunch of really bad stuff happens. The End. Absolute dribble.

Don't trust English Wikipedia bro 1.5 to 2 million it fake data by user editing. Cambodian lost 2.7 to 3 millions counting by UN 1998.

I do but idk I guess I'm not real

All so good. Rules 4 and 8 were powerful! Makes me want to make my own set.

Funny how someone complaining about the repetitive nature of the book, says the work like in just about every sentence.

Lost me at Dune dude… sorry lol Read anything by Phillip K Dick - go classic … dystopians - always a good start… There is so much though, how to even start recommending especially because I still can’t get over the Dune bashing 😂

You say his overall premise and argument that he’s trying to make is very good and very valid, yet you give him 1 star? Seems a bit unfair

Delete this video pls, you should be ashamed.

My understanding of Steven Pinker: Also, if a book has a bad take, how can you blame the execution and not the conclusion? It's both, no?

Wait... I'm this smart. Should I write a book?

I first saw NCFOM as a teenager and didnt like it, I found it slow and meandering and pointless. Rewatching as an adult, it all clicked. Anton is a metaphor, he is Consequence personified. Every scene he kills someone, he avoids getting blood on him (shields himself with the shower curtain in the motel, lifts his feet when Woody Harrelson's blood pool spreads towards him, checks his boot soles after killing Moss's wife). The film shows he isnt responsible for his crimes, he is just the unstoppable "consequence " for their actions and the actions of their loved ones.

No

The 3 false friends of Edmund Dantes: Danglars, Mondego and Caderousse. They took so much from a totally innocent man.

For those who have read it: "Me, under arrest? What for?" and "Wrecking" is now climate change and (x)phobia for example, homophobe, islamaphobe, anything that can be redefined and has no logic. For The Bookley Poscast and anyone else considering the book: Read the entire unabridged collection! I loved the first volume and thought "what more could be said?" And after not anticipating any further benefit, I loved volume two! And so I thought, NOW! what more could be said?! and not anticipating any further benefit, I loved volume three!!! Every one eye opening and never boring. So, this is not just one of the most important tomes to be read, it is also one of the best written and enjoyable as much as you can enjoy loosing your innocence and learning the depths of the depravity of mankind. But, there are so many lessons to learn and one that was not expected was about child rearing and what a spoiled child can to with double rations in a hell hole.

Never seen someone who’s successful and happy campaign for communism. It’s always the guy at the bottom crying about he deserves an equal share. Take charge of your life and go make something of yourself.

We have. It's called Capitalism.

Hell no

You should also read A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, also by Solzhenitsyn. Very short read.

The book answers the question.

This channel is going to blow up, just watch.

What do you mean "by all all means" Who do you think is going to attack America? (Other than dunb people) The world knows you got guns. The biggest threat in my opinion isn't the Bernie Sanders. It's the Evangelicals That are on a huge Propaganda campaign right now trying to revive their version of Christianity and merge the government with the church. And they aren't targeting me they are targeting 15-25 year old men and gals who are still developing their sense of self. They are using UA-cam. Tiktok, insta w.e to convert your kids into a little religious hitler youths. If that ain't Orwellian then I don't know what is. Freedom is only free if it's for all.

Marxism is Socialism. Socialism is NOT communism.

It's not the is wontvwork. It's that without checks and balances or a counter weight, we will fall into authoritarianism. On the other hand, we have fascism. So where do we go? Back to center

The USA is clearly worse than the USSR. Look at the lives capitalism took from the native Americans and 3rd world to get us our bourgeois dictatorship.

As a tankie, communism is the only way. I don’t understand why a worker utopia is to be feared by anyone by anyone but the propertied middle class. An arm the homeless movement would be the only way to end class discrimination in America.

You only have to look at the existing group of communist countries, and the thing they do to their people. And honestly I wouldn’t want to live in any of them. Quite a few I wouldn’t even want to go to. Or in the case of Russia probably couldn’t go to. But every democracy in the world have been by in large awesome to boat work and live.

Lol, bold title😂

The USSR was NOT a communist country; it was an authoritarian regime. Also the USA is not a democracy. Many presidents have secured victory through the Electoral College, despite losing the popular vote. This system reflects the Founders’ intent to balance power and prevent the “tyranny of the majority.”

It would be great if you could vote out the leader every year and we got rid of the current parties. Like a proper democracy should work.

No.

may I suggest Bloodlands by Timothy Synder....

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. The definition of retardation is saying "tHaT wAsN't ReAl CoMmUnIsM."

No .. u dumb ?

If you want to make a serious point, historical fiction is not the best book to be trotting out. It is almost as silly as the book with the talking pigs.

It's also not a very honest examination of communism to only examine one of the worst things to happen in a communist regime and infer from there. That'd be like if I implied capitalism isn't worth trying because, we have the largest encarcerated population ever. That's not inherently a problem of capitalism. (Granted, I could explain the throughline of how in our instance it is an issue of capitalism)

Also, I think for you to suggest that the US hasn't done comparably awful things lacks historical understanding. There are a lot of extremely awful things. The genocide of indigenous people and the chattel slavery of another group of people, to start.

A lot of the things that people attribute to communism (hunger, totalitarianism, punutive prison systems) aren't inherently communist. Totalitarianism has existed under fascists regimes, as well as mass murders and hunger. This isn't to say it's okay that they happened under a communist regime. It's to say those weren't problems with communism. It's a lot more complex than that.

Has communism ever actually been tried? Would democdacy ever have been tried in usa had george washington made himself dictator during revolution? Or if the King of England slaughtered all enlightened political thinkers?

Would love to try communism. Unfortunately the US won't let countries socialize or nationalize their industries.

A very interesting analysis of the failures of the Social Chauvinism (Stalinism) in the Soviet Union. I would love to see you review Howard Zinn's 'A People's History' where he explores the unvarnished history of the destructive system of Capitalist Oligarchy in the United States. My question to people would be-now that the Totalitarian Soviet Union has fallen, how are we to topple the Totalitarian system of Capitalism around the world-The Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie? Democracy is yet to be constructed, let's continue to work towards bringing it into existence once and for all.

NO , well back to actual problems now who has a dick and thinks they are a girl hands no ok great maybe we can worry about not killing each other for 5 minutes

We already did. Welcome to the democratic usa

No

This why we’ll never, ever, under any circumstance, give up our guns.
