Some things happened on the Italian left from the late '60s to the early '80s. That period is now remembered by historians as the Years of Lead, and these pics come from that time.

It's a very interesting time to read about if you're into workerism/autonomism/etc. It's a shame that these jerks had to ruin it for everyone.

1978 murder of PM Aldo Moro, assumed to be by the Red Brigades with involvement from NATO stay-behind operatives

I've done some reading on the Red Brigades and I think it's pretty much well established by now that they were the ones behind the Moro affair.

I've never heard about any NATO involvement aside from vague accusations against GLADIO, though. Could you possibly explain what you mean by that?

Edit: Now that I think of it, one of their last abductions was against a NATO general. He was eventually rescued.

Edit 2: This is a picture thread and we are talking about the Red Brigades, so...

"Rape and marriage, free of charge", referring to a law in Jordan that allows rapists to avoid punishment if they marry their victim. Similar laws exist throughout the Arab World.

There was also an analogous law in Italy in the post-war period, where the custom in some places was to allow a rapist to atone for his crime by marrying his victim. One of the biggest impacts of '68/the Sexual Revolution in Italy was in stopping this from occurring legally, though it took a number of years for that law to be taken off the books.

The story of this woman, Franca Viola, helped to make that happen.

A former history professor of mine is one of the leading American scholars on the life of Ngo Dinh Diem. He is loving awesome and I feel the need to plug for him here so if any of you are interested in learning more about Diem or South Vietnam in general, here are some excellent books on the subjects. Highly recommended.

Anyway, some pics from the Spanish Civil War:

To set the record straight, that napalm attack wasn't conducted by an American plane, AFAIK.

That's almost a semantic point; South Vietnam's military was an almost entirely US/NATO funded and equipped project. By the end of the war South Vietnam had one of the most elite air forces in the world while simultaneously having one of the most corrupt governments and lowest GDPs.

Here are some propaganda posters from fascist Italy and the Nazi puppet state that came after it. Most of these are from the latter I think, actually.

Below are some maps of the regions of southern France in which the Occitan language was historically spoken. Occitan is a Romance language, closely related to Catalan, that has a rich literary and musical history dating from the early medieval period.

As the result of a concerted effort by the post-revolutionary French government to impose standard French throughout the country very few people speak Occitan openly in France today. Some efforts are being made to revive the language among young speakers but after generations of institutionalized French instruction and marginalization of Occitan speakers, the ultimate fate of the language is yet to be determined.

The Pater Noster in Occitan:

Attributing Switzerland's prosperity and security to high levels of gun ownership is incredibly intellectually dishonest. If gun ownership were a reasonable metric of social wellbeing the United States would be far and away the most secure and prosperous nation on the planet, right up there with Serbia.

Switzerland has few firearms crimes because (like most countries with low crime irrespective of whether or not they allow guns) it is rich, small and generally isolated. It has a solid public infrastructure and a high employment rate with low rates of poverty, hard drug use, and urban deprivation- i.e. the exact things that, when combined with high rates of gun ownership, lead to firearms crimes in the US. Go figure.

Furthermore the gun cultures of the US and Switzerland are fundamentally different from each other. Switzerland as an independent confederation has employed a militia-based military for longer than the United States has existed and the criteria by which one is allowed to keep or buy a firearm are much stricter de facto in Switzerland than they are in the US. No one in Switzerland is attempting to invoke legislation that was written at a time in which muzzle loading muskets were the most advanced firearms in order to defend their right to own high caliber hunting rifles and semiautomatic assault rifles with few restrictions.

Good stuff, but like anything, never accept one source at face value.

Fair, but I don't think there was really much in the documentary that was particularly biased or exaggerated (despite how polemical Spike Lee can be). It's well known that New Orleans and the Gulf Coast area in general were suffering pretty badly from urban decay before Katrina, and the damage caused by the hurricane accelerated those processes exponentially. Many of those who evacuated didn't even bother to come back afterwards.

Hans Hermann-Hoppe (right), Austrian School theorist and smugbertarian extraordinaire, who made his own conception of ethics to argue that every political viewpoint other than anarcho-capitalism was inherently immoral.

He's also a loving lunatic and I consider it a minor miracle that any academic institution would employ him. If you haven't read Naked Capitalism's Journey Into A Libertarian Future series, which samples heavily from Hoppe's magnum opus, I encourage you to. It's all the proof you need that Poe's Law is as true as anything can be, especially with regard to the more sociopathic tendencies of the Austrian School. I can only wonder whether Mises had any idea what sort of ideological Pandora's Box his work would open.

Wikipedia posted:

Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli (21 October 1928 � 15 December 1969) was an Italian railway worker and anarchist activist, who died in the custody of Italian police in 1969 after being arrested. Pinelli was a member of the Milan Circle "Ponte della Ghisolfa". He was also the secretary of the Italian branch of the Anarchist Black Cross. His death, believed by many to be at the hands of the police,[1] is the inspiration for Dario Fo's play Accidental Death of an Anarchist.

Man I love how libertarians try to craft their own ~unique~ definition of capitalism that literally no non-libertarian scholar subscribes to. Who knew that just about every historian, economist, and social scientist has no idea what they're talking about when they refer to "capitalism?" Clearly we should be taking more queues from daily Mises readers and fewer from people who actually write books.

Who's responsible for this hilariously awful website, anyway?
