Don't trust the liberals,
they will betray you

quote:

[3) It must not be assumed that those who make constitutions think of all working people and are making constitutions for them. The people who enacted the constitution at the time thought primarily about maintaining their interests, a new ruling group. The popularization of the spirit of the constitution was a long time later. Until the 1960s, black Americans were still fighting hard for their rights. To this day, black people are still fighting, although they do not shed blood as often.

Three decades later and not much has changed in that regard.

Yes I was enjoying this thread when it was.

Would love to see an English translation of the book but that doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar.

That's for continuing these. It's quite an interesting book and your commentary helps contextualize it.

The book itself must be a bit more popular now. I remember seeing it mentioned in the New Yorker earlier this year. And there's translated copies for sale on Amazon but they seem to be machine translated with all the problems that entails.
