  1. Re:It is university.... on Politically Correct Zoology · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That is not the point in these cases unfortunately. HR departments esp ones with affirmative action offices can often take unilateral action against you without any proof at all. The amount of power alloted against individuals in institutions by these and other offices on campus that are answerable to no one is unbelievable.

    We had a case here that involved a woman getting a man's disabled parking permit taken away because he honked at her once in a parking garage, which she claimed was harassment.

    You don't even begin to speak for me, I'm an eclectic not ecclesiastical political realist; people that apologize for other people suffer from either delusions of grandeur, Jerusalem syndrome or some other deep-seated messiah complex. I believe you are the more likely of us to hold to some religious belief, watch scrolling news networks and buy products based upon exposure to wantonly egregious displays of craven consumerism synchronized to the beats of your favorite popular music band. Yeah, I'm solidly against allowing a country to slip into the shackles of slavery because their version of the populist pied piper deposed a more hated regime.

    I have no problem with communism as I am a socialist albeit more of a Fabian than a fan of Marx, but I do have a substantial problem with totalitarianism. Force and Political Will is what is needed in dealing with any regime that would usurp the will of the people for the will of a single party or worse a single individual, no matter how charismatic he may be or how much of the population they claim to represent.

    An open society is one in which one can have political change without violence. Once the threshold has been crossed and a country engages itself in methodologies, machinations or outright mechanized force against dissent it is the responsibility of all mankind but esp those who would claim the banner of human and civil liberties to confront them online, at home and if needed in the streets.

    We no longer have to invade a country anymore to change its politics, that has been true since WWII. Saddam made the invasion of Iraq inevitable after he showed that he was prone to invading neighboring countries in the region and threatened to upset decades of hegemony that have allowed the US, Europe and China access to the largest energy market on the planet.

    Force and Force Multipliers we have at our disposal include assassination and agitprop, automated air strikes are new but somewhat effective. Socioeconomic options are also available including economic and political sanctions, price manipulation of their export commodities and turning their friends against them on the world stage for trivial and substantial policy matters.

    If Saddam or one of his sons were still in power, there would no civil war because he would still be using state power to crush any opposition i.e. totalitarianism. This is a man who wasted the lives of millions of his own people as well as killed millions of Iranians, 10's of thousands of Kuwaitis and would never of stopped unless the US or some outside power overthrew his government. What is happening now in Iraq is a tragedy of epic proportions but it does not address the reality that Iraq led under Hussein would of eventually been over run by either the US, Saudi Arabia or Iran because he was destabilizing the whole region. Worse than that if he had restarted his program for WMD he had running before 1991 than Israel could of started a regional conflict by attacking him. Do you think the Saudis or the Iranians would of made better occupiers because there was no way that the Hussein regime would be allowed to remain in power after he attacked Kuwait.

    Hugo Chávez gets all his communism second hand through people like Castro, Che and Marigella (sp) but he is equally dangerous as he is slowly establishing a totalitarian regime. What is frightening is not the political aspects to his debasing of human, civil and corporate rights but the sheer incompetence in his doing so.

    If we allow Venezuela to establish itself in the orbit of the last of the last totalitarian Marxist-Lenist states like Cuba it is going to spread not communism but totalitarianism. What we might eventually have is something like Hoxha again, who went batshit insane after WWII and kept Albania shut almost completely out of the world for 60 years.

  25. Re:Democracy needs smart people on Too Many College Graduates? · · Score: 1

    I've only seen radical Marxist philosophy in Women's Study Departments and a few times in Anthropology which has adopted the Three Worlds Theory which admittedly Maoist, is where we get the idea of 1st, 2nd and 3rd world countries.

    The economic and historical theories espoused by Marxist, Leninist, Trotskyist and Eurocommunist parties in Western Europe have fallen almost completely off the radar in actual Philosophy, History and Economic Departments where the most popular new school I can think of are the X-Phi folks. Which attempts to be borrow methodologies from social sciences to 'test' philosophical questions. I'm pretty sure that is not particularly Communist in flavor or practice, but who knows.

    Most of these wingnuts have about as much an idea what Communism or Socialism is than did actual Communists have of Capitalism. When Albania was liberated from the totalitarian Marxist-Lenist-(briefly)Maoist regime of Hoxha and company the entire countries economy collapsed because of the proliferation of pyramid schemes.
