It appears I misunderstood part of your argument, though I'd still suggest you take a parallel too far. In your view class struggle is an extension of a sort of "pack mentality" in which classes...

All of the countries mentioned are, or have been deformed workers' states at one time. In the case of China, capitalism has long been restored, and class struggle has recently been on the increase...
Perhaps it wasn't clear, my perspective is that the Communist Party should have focused on grassroots organizing and democracy, as opposed to trying to carry out a backroom coup d'etat.
Correct! The Battle of Cable Street, in which Jews, Socialists, Communists and trade unionists sent Oswald Moseley's fascists running when they tried to march through a working-class Jewish...
Large ethnic and religious divisions, location in the middle of trade routes (making it a target for conquest), and probably a lot of other things. The aforementioned ethnic and religious definitions...
My mistake, it was late!

Claude Louis Hectar de Villars accepting the surrender of Jean Cavalier at the end of the war of Spanish succession.
My understanding is that he founded the KKK explicitly as a hate group, but that later on he had a change of heart and started supporting black civil rights. One need not try to write off the bad...
Yes, but not only detained - by the end of it several thousand were murdered or "disappeared" in a very short period of time.

This may have been said in the thread already, but from the perspective of Mongolians and some other people from Central and Northeast Asia Chinggis Khan is really popular, and seen as a hero and...
Well, the initial fall from grace for the CPC was the first time the sided with the PS during the aftermath of the Carnation revolution when they could easily have appealed to the grassroots to...
St. Brice's Day Massacre, where the Saxons under Æthelred II massacred all the Danes they could find in England.
There are now counter-claims about the allegedly fake Sanders civil rights activism photos, with the photographer who took some of them claiming it really was Sanders....
Well, the Left, as in - the actual left - have always opposed gun control as well. There is an interesting conversation that can be had about Reagan's gun control legacy, and how much of it was due...
Thoughts on the general strike?

My understanding is that the most famous study was done on Seventh Day Adventists of the same basic economic status, and in the same community. Certain subgroups of the Seventh Day Adventists are...
The PS strategy is also not going to work, the European Union as a whole is fairly :wub:ed considering it's trying to unite economies moving in vastly different directions. BE and PC should have...

I'm vegan, but I also don't believe in ethical consumerism. It's only a dietary choice, and it's not going to save the world. I do believe, however, that you're ignoring several studies showing that...
Support from Lewis would actually be something of a liability when it comes to many people in the newer generation of black activism. He's seen as something of a sellout, and Sanders has the support...
It's not necessary to try to defend the Nazi regime in order to criticize other genocides, and other war crimes. One CAN be against the Holocaust, the U.S. dropping bombs on Japan, Stalinist purges,...
It's a market-based system based on "competing" companies. In my own opinion I'd actually call it more of a hand subsidy of private business than anything.
You mean right-wing liberals are horrible at making rational economic decisions? I never would have guessed. I'm sure the austerity is playing a role in the economic decline as well. (Along with the...
Zhang Juzheng.
So wait, is this a thread of Fascists cheering for PS?
Yes, Hong Xiouquan.

Well, that's Vandamme.
No. Obamacare is not single payer (Like Canada) and it's also not a national service (like in the UK or many other European countries). The law sets up markets for insurance, along with a subsidy...
When I say right-wing faction I'm speaking in relative terms. There is the Left-wing which is represented by the Communist Tendency, as well as sections of the "Left Platform" who are for an all out...
Hopefully this belongs here, it's a bit of a strange subject and doesn't fit neatly in either political or ethical forums.
Some of the discussion on the thread on the Yemeni Civil War has been...
Valden was claiming that Christians have some kind of claim over the interpretation of Satan because he comes from their religious traditions, and that Satanists are just appropriating a Character...
The Central Committee, not the Members of Parliament. The MPs are probably a more right-wing group because the CC is elected by various party delegates from branches (some of which are more left-wing...

A bit old, but still interesting. I'm a supporter of the Communist Tendency, and a critical supporter of...
The Geo-Political simulator series is a diamond in the rough - it lets you do a huge amount of stuff, but for this very reasons a lot of its features are broken or nerfed. It also has a shaky idea...
The reformists of the All Progressives Congress have claimed victory http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/03/opposition-party-declares-victory-nigeria-election-150331135603507.html
This means Buhari...
To be fair, the majority of physical characteristics that this statue has inherited from the Christian tradition aren't even Christian in their origin - they're a composite of characteristics of...
Correct :) Your turn.
The Zaidis were part of the protest movement against Saleh, so I'd doubt that they intend to return him to power.(They were even against him having immunity from prosecution) Their professed...
