Boring.

into the gulag it goes

What's wrong with him? He seems pretty on point.

I'm not a leftist tho.

It's utter nonsense rooted in burger memes and not objective, historical ideas. Of course socialism is bad from that perspective, one not shared by most socialists and communists.

To put it one way, people think 1984, written by a staunch socialist, was an indictment of leftism, and that The Jungle, written by another staunch socialist, was wholly irrelevant to economic theory.

Thanks, I always admired Sowell but I'll give left econ theory a try (not just from your post I've been lurking here for some time).

Can you briefly tell me why it's important for socialist theory?

When will American conservatives wake up

All he is doing is spewing ideology. You could get the same thing from any idiot on the street.

I like batko's mustache, especially how its color contrasts with his hair.

Authoritarians have style.

...

Its basically a portrait of how shitty living and working conditions for an immigrant in the USA in the early 1900's could be.

Marxists.org has a ton of great material. Also consider watching Richard Wolff's leftures.


It's not a theory piece as much as it is a story about life of the time. Also see Oil!, which Hollywood nerfed into unrelatable drama garbage.

Could you be any more fucking racist?

counterrevolutionary ideologues should be purged regardless of the color of their skin

hello reddit!

not an argument

WEW

All this ideology in one short article, I wouldn't have thought it possible.

...

...

...

god, i hate him so much

I'm happy that you'll give leftism a chance.

This fucker on imgur always posts stupid shit like this

Is this MGQ?

Good thing he capitalized it so I know it's scary and evil.

Tell me more

He's basically the run-of-the-mill Holla Forums-tier insufferable libertarian

He at least did acknowledge Pinochet as terrible - to further shit on Allende.

Could've sworn he had posted a positive picture of Chomsky, guess somebody pointed out how stupid that was for him.

Proof? I was pretty sure everything he did was legal and that pissed off Nixon even more.

Wew I don't endorse this guy's retarded opinions at all.

The only thing I see about him not "abiding by the Constitution" is some resolution passed by the opposition to legitimize the coup.

Are you actually claiming There Will Be Blood was a bad movie? Because it was "unrelatable"?

burn it all away

start fresh

Minimum wage (vast majority earn less than 1.5x the minimum wage) is currently worth $23.

Most food is imported now since national production died, so we're fucked.

Well, at least we can agree on one thing. Socialism doesn't mean taxing the rich - it means digging out their eyeballs with their own appropriated toothbrush.

Sowell used to be a marxist and read Das Kapital.

I suspect MKULTRA had a go at him.
