That's really not what I'm saying. US and UK politics mirror each other closely. Believe me, what gains traction in the USA is relevant here too....
I find this a little naive. In the UK things have absolutely shifted right in the past few decades to the point where Corbyn calling for the...
I don't think this is a projection of my own condescension. I've seen what amounts to the so-called criticism of Trump in the media. Smug talk...
Ah but US politics is not unique in this regard. Simply, the political compass has shifted to the right hard in the past few decades. Any...
No sorry, there never was such a distinction between individualism/collectivism. Society is always a collective, just look at the different...
Of course I agree with you. But I feel that pert of the problem of the Left is in our condescending attitude toward ordinary people. Do you think...
Which is why 'Old time Libertarians' are prime fodder for the new pole of reaction today which is growing. I refer to the internet sensation of...
I'm sure you know your US politics better than I, but the term 'libertarian' is a tricky one. Obviously it is related to ultra-conservatives or...
I appreciate the work that goes into debunking Trump's interpretation of events. However, we should be aware that the whole issue goes beyond...
You're right in the sense that the way Americans use the term 'liberal' is different to how it is used in Europe. Americans use the terms liberal...
You're talking about things as if we can simply direct society in such a manner. The 'hybrid' you're talking about is itself the result of the...
When even self-proclaimed socialists are arguing for socialism in terms like these, it's no wonder there's so much mess around the the issue....
But again, it really doesn't matter. All the worldly religions could merge into one today and it wouldn't mean anything, because all religions...
That is precisely what all non-human life does. React stupidly to stimuli.
What? I'm pretty sure that Luther, Calvin and other Protestants knew their Christianity. If anything it was the Catholic church which had...
We haven't been 'asleep for 36 years'. What has happened is that the Left has been killed off in the past few decades and so the space that it...
Sorry to those involved in a discussion on immigrants etc. But I am going to approach the main thread question directly, which is an interesting...
No change or transformation in Christianity is ever going to lead us to peace, harmony or whatever today. Why? Because Christianity is no longer...
Although I'm flattered that you assume I am influential in shaping the 'discourse of a nation', we Leftists are a political irrelevance today. I...
A very precise example of right-wing understanding. The right-wing common-sense understanding is that Leftists must INTRODUCE problems where...
Thanks Billy. Yes I am a communist.
Here's why. Right-wing ideas are the common-sense ideas of today's world. Right wingers don't need to risk going against this common-sense, they...
Well thank god for Fred C Dobbs. Except that nobody cares what you simply 'happen' to think has or doesn't have substance. Unless you provide an...
But where do you draw the line between conscious/not conscious? With this reasoning, you cannot draw a line. What 'higher life forms'? Why can an...
Jesus christ what filth.
Separate names with a comma.
