Cheezy the Wiz

Marhaen and proletarian by Sukarno is the stand-out text for reconciling Islam, Socialism and Nationalism. Its also an interesting case study in reconciling Marxism with the colonial experience, or so I am told.

Hey hon. How are you? The answer to your question is none other than Catherine de'Medici.

The Reverse Communitariat Test you mean? I'm starting to think I could and that worries me...

Reverse Communtology won't work on me old chap. I hope..

I might be the wisdom of the party but I don't think I'm seeing the wisdom of any particular Party.

Er what. And what the hell. GULAGS may in-fact have a use...

Maybe we should all be checking obituaries or something...

I'm not worried -- he's done this in the past -- if I remember it was a family occasion or something and he didn't think it important enough to mention.

Jeez everyone is riled up about that, cept' me it seems.

I'm going to have to ask Dachs for a good book on the American Civil War so I can more thoroughly refute these silly things.

You need to look at the Virginia Governor Brings Back Confederate Heritage Month thread, it's entertaining to say the least.

Mao's Little Red Book: Communism made easy.

That will have to be left for tomorrow Cheezy ol' son. I'm heading to bed. Also, what thread do you want me to post that in?

Derail initiated.

See?

Hoi Cheezy link your display picture!

Make way for the master Maori race!

Yes, I would join this political party. If, only to hasten the inevitable dominance of the master Maori race over the current pitifully weak white paradigm. When you all topple into irretrievable decline, we will be there to devour you.

This is going to be classic. And I didn't take you for a Maoist.

To understand these two different types of contradictions correctly, we must first be clear on what is meant by "the people" and what is meant by "the enemy" . . . At the present stage, the period of building socialism, the classes, strata and social groups which favour, support and work for the cause of socialist construction all come within the category of the people, while the social forces and groups which resist the socialist revolution and are hostile to or sabotage socialist construction are all enemies of the people.

The Communist Party does not fear criticism because we are Marxists, the truth is on our side, and the basic masses, the workers and peasants, are on our side!

I think we're both going to enjoy this. Heck, you should start quoting Rothbard et. al. in the same fashion.

Nah, it takes 30 days to get those books my way. This was more of a matter of understanding the opposition that anything. Really, I find it fascinating that there can be such a diametrical opposition to how we view certain episodes in history. I simply, as yet, don't understand why. Besides, with the pace of my reading and the relative popularity of Marxist tomes I figured they would represent good bang for my buck -- large size, relatively low price.

So I've added:

POLITICAL ECONOMY - A LEONTIEV;
An Introduction to Marxist Economic Theory - Ernest Mandel;
History and Class Consciousness: Studies in Marxist Dialectics - Georg Lukács;
The Dictatorship of the Proletariat - Karl Kautsky; and
A History of Modern Russia: From Nicholas II to Vladimir Putin, Revised Edition - Robert Service.

I was just going to impersonate you by cracking open Mao's Little Red Book and quoting verbatim from it from wholly inappropriate sections.
