Another really disturbing tendency I see among liberals is the assumption that full fascism can be defeated by moderate fascism. This is absurd. If we grant fascist premises, why should we not expect fully fascists conclusions to follow?

In 2003, the UK legalized marital rape, by every measure a greater threat to women than the mere existence of trans people, but we should resist the temptation to attack statements such as Rowling's below as hypocritical. We should instead see them as revealing the speaker's true values.

Greed and laziness are Marxist virtues precisely because they're always the virtues of the ruling classes, the virtues painted as vices among the masses. Theoretical clarity and rigor are important, genuinely, but that shouldn't have to come at the cost of being exciting, dangerous, etc.

It's worrying how liberals' response to seeing fascists repeatedly embrace satire of fascism is to assume fascists don't have media literacy instead of the obvious conclusion that fascists simply don't think the things being made fun of are embarrassing. There's a LONG history of embracing satire.

It's always amusing to hear liberals pine for the days of respectable conservatism because I frankly have no idea what days these were supposed to be. Reading Roger Scruton's Modern Philosophy, he quite literally equates radical politics to satanism; not in passing, it's an entire chapter.

It's good that United Statians are increasingly recognizing the internment of Japanese-Americans in WWII as the horrific evil it was, but I hope this is only a prelude to an acknowledgement of how racist the Pacific war was at large. The Good War was no such thing and its mythos should be destroyed.

It's genuinely interesting to see some self-awareness from liberals regarding the inherent self-sacrifice aspect to their ideology and acknowledgement of the frustration it causes. That they can only imagine addressing this by voting for an "evil" politician, rather than self-activity, is telling.

Marx and Engels genuinely mistreated Moses Hess, from borderline plagiarizing his analysis of money, not acknowledging their debt to his work on praxiology, and almost mocking him in the Communist Manifesto for holding ideas they knew he had already abandoned. Indeed, he had become a Marxist in '46!

The tankie movements emerged from non-capitalist societies, putting them in the same position as utopians. This is clear in China, where Mao tried to fight the nationalist tendency within his own party. The Deng Xiaoping's betrayal was nothing more than an acknowledgement of class reality.

Bad Samaritans isn't strictly about Korean history, but it provides invaluable context for the wider historical circumstances that modern Korean history developed in. It's also just pretty good, if frustratingly liberal at times.

I've been reading a LOT about the history of Korea (north and south) over the last month or so and really feel like it's a subject more people, especially United Statians, should learn about. Almost serves as a potted history of both the Cold War and Globalization.

The consequence of all this is that Lenin was wrong about the sources of Marxism. More than French socialism, English economics, and German philosophy, Marxism's primary source is the class struggle itself. Class struggle and its logical consequences are the absolute essence of Marxism, period.

This isn't skepticism, knowledge is still possible on these terms, but it is necessarily a practical phenomenon. "Truth" is the correspondence of ideas to reality, but that correspondence exists only in action. Knowledge is not passive (naive empiricism), it is active (pragmatism).

Marxists can't simply step out of ideology and false consciousness, we're ensnared by it as much as anyone else. We have merely the advantage of knowing our situation, and therefore can question it. This, not a deterministic schema of the past, is the essence of historical materialism.

It's easy to overlook in light of his many more ethically repugnant tweets, but this really might be Dawkins's most transparently stupid one. Even Darwin knew philosophy had anticipated him! And if Dawkins had ever bothered to actually read Darwin he'd know that too.
