Alex Rabinowitch has passed away. His The Bolsheviks Come to Power remains, 50 years later, a classic study of the Bolshevik Party in 1917.
I am proud to have known this generous man personally, and only regret that I never had the chance to congratulate him on his final book.

Those like Wayne have basically no thoughts on our sexual agonism beyond “patriarchy good”.
When they are willing to consider matriarchal suffrage arrangements in order to encourage higher birth rates they perhaps can be fruitfully engaged. Until then it’s just “me me me me me.”
I’m not even super right wing on questions of suffrage. I’m certainly willing to entertain all kinds of arrangements. But what I believe pretty strongly is that there are no intellectuals remaining on the left with respect to this stuff. I just literally don’t know how you can watch us speed run into having a girls party and a boys party and still have basically no introspection about the intersection of gender and politics beyond just, “patriarchy bad.”
Like, never, even in your darkest moments, even when you’re alone on a desert island and no one can see you or hear you and there’s no risk of you getting in trouble, do you ever think critically about the consequences of universal suffrage? Do you literally have no critiques? Do you genuinely believe there are no downsides? Will you not allow yourself to have any ordinary thoughts at all?

This guy is paid to think and write about political affairs.

The war was never really about defeating Iran, but rather about deterring China by demonstrating that the US is both willing and able to use force when necessary.
In that sense, it was already won.

Hobbes really instantly lets his reader know that he must submit as soon as they open De Cive. Millions must obey their king.

Total monarchomach death. Smash Brutus’ skull with hammers, throw the 59 commissioners in a wok, etc etc.

How much do you think Hobbes hated this man and his son given this dedication?

I’m kind of in shock about the reconstruction fund. What a way to lose a retarded war— genuinely hilarious.

The stock versus flow corrections to Khanna’s wealth proposal is all well and good, but if this is what you say as you tighten your tie and smirk in the face of outrage about the planet’s first trillionaire I fear you’ve marked yourself.

Elon Musk has become the first person to cross the trillionaire threshold, at least on paper, after SpaceX priced its blockbuster initial public offering at $135 a share. cbsn.ws/4vKWwUo

It’s only 10 pages, but The State of War is almost a spiritual finger print from Rousseau.
It has so many of his signature ideas. The evisceration of the status quo, natural man as a presocialized being moved by hunger and pity, the state as an artificial person, etc. I would …

not say it’s a terribly well argued piece or that it holds up to how things affairs have unfolded since then.
His argument against Hobbes’ state of nature is weak and everything hinges on that from a philosophical point of view. He says stuff like the below which is just so …

falsified by events less than 50 years after they were penned; to say nothing of the 1900s.
And then it ends with the beautiful idea of a war fought to the end without a single murder.
