I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.
I don't know how anyone can claim any of the New Left groups of the 1960s and 70s were successful at all. Inspiring, maybe, but none of them achieved any lasting accomplishments. It's a political dead end. 1968 was fifty years ago; it's time to turn the page.

Every single New Left movement failed, there's not a lot to learn. But I'm glad to see that I was on the money, that all this poo poo is just repressed frustrations without awareness.

The problem was with the New Left itself, that's where the flaw is.

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:

I don’t disagree exactly but what do you mean by “most revolutionary” and “least effective”? I mean they pretty much all failed didn’t they?

The Black Panthers et al were effective, if only by virtue of their prominent role in the political landscape. The civil rights movement was only able to win extraordinary victories in the 60s because it was the peaceful alternative to contemporary revolutionary parties, which were perceived by much of white America as being the vanguard of an imminent racial uprising. When those parties were destroyed or otherwise neutralized and the possibility of revolution was totally suppressed, white America no longer saw the need to make concessions to black America as a survival tactic, and was able to begin the process of undoing the gains made by the civil rights movement almost immediately.

when an old prof died at the lab I used to work at they let people loot his room for whatever books they wanted and among all the old physics and chemistry books i found an old worn-out copy of revolution for the hell of it by abbie hoffman

it seemed theoretically and practically dubious but was a fun piece of history to happen upon and is still on my shelf. that's my yippee story.

Kim Jong-un believes North Korea should follow Vietnam’s economic reforms: report

Kim shared the point at a summit with his southern counterpart and is expected to discuss it with Trump next month.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un mentioned Vietnam in his conversations with South Korean President Moon Jae-in last month as an example of how his country should expand on economically, an anonymous government official told Pulse last week.

As the two Korean leaders met for the first time, Kim Jong-un told Moon Jae-in that he prefers Vietnam’s model over China's because Vietnam has maintained a great relationship with the U.S., the official said.

In 1986, Vietnam initiated “doi moi” economic reforms that opened its market and attracted foreign investors, but still maintained the country’s socialist values.

The government official said that North Korea had used Vietnam as a benchmark and studied its economic reforms.

Kim Jong-un believes that strengthening his relationship with the U.S. is essential to attracting foreign investors, and is expected to discuss Vietnam's economic opening along with denuclearization at an upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump, the official said.

A time and location have yet to be set for the meeting, but Singapore has been tagged as one of the favorites.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

General Peckem was a general with whom neatness definitely counted. He was a spry, suave and very precise general who knew the circumference of the equator and always wrote "enhanced" when he meant "increased." He was a prick, and no one knew this better than General Dreedle, who was incensed by General Peckem's recent directive requiring all tents in the Mediterranean theater of operations to be pitched along parallel lines with entrances facing back proudly toward the Washington Monument. To General Dreedle…it seemed like a lot of crap. Furthermore, it was none of General Peckem's goddamn business how the tents in General Dreedle's wing were pitched. There then followed a hectic jurisdictional dispute between these overlords that was decided in General Dreedle's favor by ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen, mail clerk at Twenty-seventh Air Force Headquarters. Wintergreen determined the outcome by throwing all communications from General Peckem into the wastebasket. He found them too prolix. General Dreedle's views, expressed in less pretentious literary style, pleased ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen and were sped along by him in zealous observance of regulations.

‘Maybe I ought to phone Twenty-seventh Air Force Headquarters
and see if they know anything about it. They have a clerk up there named Wintergreen I’m pretty
close to. He’s the one who tipped me off that our prose was too prolix.’
Ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen told Cargill that there was no record at Twenty-seventh Air Force
Headquarters of a T. S. Eliot.
‘How’s our prose these days?’ Colonel Cargill decided to inquire while he had ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen
on the phone. ‘It’s much better now, isn’t it?’
‘It’s still too prolix,’ ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen replied
