Liberals and conservatives never know anything because they have nothing to build toward

Yes, and it always reminds me of this Walter Rodney quote:

And this was the problem: that bourgeois thought — and indeed socialist thought, when we get down to it — can have a variety of developments or roads and aspects or paths. Bourgeois thought, because of its whimsical nature and because of the way in which it promotes eccentrics, can have any road. Because, after all, when you are not going any place, you can choose any road!

But then again:

Of course. As Lenin said, Communism is Soviet power and the electrification of the communal toothbrush.

She also recently tweeted about a Soviet documentary on Islam.

A barrel of oil.

No problem! I've been reading through pretty much all of Losurdo's translated books recently and enjoying them all quite a lot. Class Struggle deals directly with Marxist theory, and it's definitely one of my favorites.

Similar to how Hegel criticized the christian call to "help the poor" because it presupposes a constant existence of poverty in order to feel good about its (ineffective) charity. A quote from Losurdo's Class Struggle:

We are reminded of Hegel’s critical remarks on the Gospel commandment to aid the poor. Losing sight of the fact that it is a ‘conditional precept’, and absolutizing it, Christians also wound up absolutizing poverty, which alone could confer meaning on the norm enjoining aid for the poor. The survival of poverty was a precondition for Christians, or at least some of them, enjoying a sense of moral nobility attendant upon their aid for the poor. The seriousness of help for the poor should instead be measured by its contribution to overcoming poverty as such.

Deinocheirus - even though it's a herbivore, I'm still pretty fucked.

Reminds me of Philomena Cunk

Popper is often celebrated by libs, but he is just a racist western chauvinist (like most of the libs themselves).

Here's a quote from Domenico Losurdo's book, War and Revolution:

An explicit rehabilitation of colonialism is ventured by the theoretician of the 'open society' himself. Popper seems to offer an unequivocally positive assessment of the centuries-long domination of the rest of humanity by the great European and Western powers: 'We freed these states too quickly and too simplistically.'

And yet we both printed it and replied to it... Lenin would not approve.
