Mirrors of Moscow: Nikolai Lenin

LENIN became an active revolutionist through the spiritual motives that have moved all great reformers — not because he himself was hungry and an outcast, but because he could not stand by unmoved in a world where other men were hungry and outcast. Such characters are predestined internationalists; the very quality that lifts them above materialism places them above borders and points of geography; they strive for the universal good. Lenin believes that the only thing worth living for is the next generation. Communism is his formula for saving the next generation from the injustices and inequalities of the present.

The specific character of women’s oppression

Woman’s fate is bound up with that of the exploited male. This is a fact.

Clausewitz: The Genius for War

I was just listening to Jeff Rich’s video, “Russophobia and the Anxiety of American Primacy” and it made me think of my previous post on “demonizing the enemy.” That led to me rereading my posts on propaganda and “The Blob.” For some reason, this chapter came up when searching for “Clausewitz and demonizing the enemy.” It’s an interesting read, and much better than reading Freud. 🤭 On another note, I have yet to finish reading “Lenin’s Notebook on Clausewitz” that I downloaded earlier from this website.

Medvedev reminded Graham what else the US spends «dirty money» on

“The old fool Senator Lindsay Graham said that the U.S. has never spent money as well as on killing Russians. It’s like that in vain. In his beloved America, not only ordinary people are regularly killed, but also dirty money is spent on killing senators. Let him remember the sad fate of Robert Kennedy, Huey Long, Clement Carlos Pinkney, John Milton Elliott, Wayne Owens, as well as other American politicians.”
