He talks major poo poo when he's online but the one time he came face to face with the fabled tankie he became completely docile and basically just let Carl Zha explain Chinese history to him.

pretty obvious that this guys historical knowledge of these things doesnt extend further than the occasional paragraph mentioning a historical event/period in NYT/WaPo

That’s Noah Smith a pundit for Bloomberg Opinion who frequently writes about Chinese politics. But he has never studied Chinese history or politics and when confronted by anyone with a background knowledge of China is quickly bulldozed

Honestly I can’t hate him though, because he has a really sweet gig. I wish I could be paid to opine on subjects I learned about browsing twitter

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

One of the primary demands of the Hungarian revolutionaries in 56 was institution of multiparty democracy, which they got in 89. Now they're fascist so maybe the soviets were right to invade or maybe the invasion gave the fascists something to organize around. The Hungarian government pre revolution seemed pretty fuckin incompetent though and their security forces were constantly shooting crowds of peaceful demonstrators, so they were bad. The un delegation to investigate the Soviet invasion was lead by a danish nazi collaborator though, so lol

the CIA was very active in Hungary. . .smearing the popular choice for a PM/president and advocating for a government takeover by a catholic cardinal. this really didn't help the anti-soviet opposition.

liberalism is unhappy with anyone but a nazi.
