He wrote some academic sounding russophobic and anti-communist drivel so now he gets placed on the NYT bestseller list and has a running gig on cable news.

Academia provides cover for the ruling class, he's but one example.

Unfortunately in my lib years I bought his book On Tyranny and later gifted it to my grandfather, who has been quite a fan ever since. Every time he brings it up now I cringe.

He has an abcs of authoritarianism children's book he coauthored too. Had to do a double take when I saw that one at the library.

the On Tyranny book seems to be just senseless drivel about "authoritarianism"

[–] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's exactly what it is. Ivy league professor bestselling drivel. It's super short and consist though, so you can always go back to it to affirm your anti-communist anti-authoritarian mantras.

or to confirm that we are correct, a brazilian communist recent guest at deprogram, ian neves sometimes make a feat called Pororoca de Chorume (Slurry Wave +-) where he reads text from right wing and take it apart, like rothbard, misses mostly recent even dugin.

from rothbard a meme was created: Up grandpa, why so racist?
