He's good on Chapo and has a different knowledge base than them, I wish they'd make him a regular or semi-regular host.

Thinking about the insane conversation we had earlier about the Chapo's being excluded from the revolution because they make money and it stuck me how goddamned stupid it was on another level. It has a streak of the anti-intellectualism of the Khmer Rouge. I'm not making a direct comparison here but Lenin and Marx were both solidly upper-middle class. Excluding potential class allies because they make a few grand is loving insane a really good way to end up getting hacked to pieces by a teenager in a bandana with a machete.

Also, from clicking on that Patreon post - did you know Chapo has never said it's bad to hate marginalized people/groups? This is why they are Centrists who never challenge the alt-right! :psyduck:

His response was overwrought but jokey and somewhat accepting. Also he's had bad run-ins with the Pepes + egg boy supreme Podhoretz so he also had spoken against the alt-right (perhaps far, far more than against Greenwald or the chapos) as well. *shrug*

Not just Lenin and Marx, but Mao, Ghandi, Castro, Che, Trotsky, Luxemburg etc. were all middle class to a greater or lesser degree. It's a pretty big part of the study of revolutions - revolutionary leaders tend to be middle class since poorer proletarians tend not to have the degree of education, social connections or money required to start or achieve leadership in revolutionary organisations, but the actual upper class are too invested in the current social order and insulated from the actual bad stuff to care. Obviously there are exceptions but it holds pretty true.

I can't be bothered to do more than skim that but did he really write an entire article about pro-Putin leftists and not name any? Only names I caught were Chomsky and Greenwald at the end there, but then he agrees with them.

What is wrong with liberals, basically.

Doesn't bourgeoisie require some level of wealth and ownership of production beyond a top ~10% income? Should we care if Chapo are now class traitors? If the line is $150k/yr I'm not sure if I'm supposed to stop voting or instead see that the line I cross to accept Chapo means supporting Mark Warner or some other business ghoul in the D caucus.
I believe Marx argued that the bourgeoisie were the middle class who came to own the means of production as aristocracy declined, not that owning the means of production is the definition of bourgeoisie. Idunno though, I'm a babby Marxist.

It's so weird that Rod's emails are written in that same style/cadence of a sermon, with weirdly specific yet unimportant details and danger lurking in every corner.
I have two thoughts on the latest Dreher Duck Hunt. One, there's a feminist argument against pornography that I don't dismiss, but Dreher's argument isn't feminist. And pornography, like drugs, is here to stay. Prohibition will never work, so I don't know what practice or policy they expect to come out of all this hand-wringing. Er, so to speak.

Second, I've read posts by tradcaths and their fellow travelers from time to time, and they're obsessed with porn. Porn, whatever you think of it, doesn't make it into my Top 10 of problems facing civilization. It's in their Top 5. They think the biggest threats to Western civilization are apostasy, drugs, porn, and Islam.

Tito and Kim il Sung were solidly working class, but look how the latter turned out.

Whenever I get discouraged by liberal bullshit, I remember that once you cut out the professional campaigners who wanted a job, and the professional media people, what's left of Hillary's enthusiastic base is lawyers and techbros. That is the kind of person who, without being paid for it, runs a Twitter where they feud with Bernie Bros all day and night. And as Matt pointed out, they were more fans than a base of political supporters.

No, the article is just addressed to leftists, making the case that they should also be anti-Putin, because Putin is anti-left. The whole article is fairly milquetoast and unobjectionable in its particulars. It doesn't make any real policy prescriptions beyond (paraphrasing) "find a non-hawkish way to oppose the spread of rightwing ideology". Whether or not there is a way to do this that is not effectively imperialist is left as an exercise for the reader.
