It's too bad bill burr has a naive view here of why disasters happen, why wars happen, why malicious people wholly incompatible with humanity accrue power, etc. Someone get this man some theory.

Yep and that's why the evil GDR and USSR still exist, because they brutally used their huge militaries and extensive secret spy networks to kill all those protestors.

Did you read the article posted? even these shit ass liberals admit that state repression against these movements was minimal, except they still have to couch that fact in the same old tired anticommunist lies we've heard for years... "Well no one was really hurt... But they could have been! The government was so scary, and had authority, and was total!"

Wow another article painting the GDR as "authoritarian" without interrogating what that actually means or a comparison to West Germany.

The people gathered to demand freedom and democracy and then everything was good again.

blob-no-thoughts I mean really

If we're gonna ascribe WW2 victory to one particular country or front it's hands down going to the Soviet Union

Alternate title for the glib- Six clowns condemn seventh's circus act. Take a look at the works and ideas these people put forward, and they are really only marginally less serious than trump when it comes to helping the poor or building a welfare net.

Also, these aren't Nobel winners, as in winners of the original categories stipulated by Nobel. Instead they were awarded the Nobel Memorial prize in economics, which was started by the Swedish Central Bank in 1968. It's purpose was to redirect popular and academic attention back towards liberal theories, instead of towards alternatives (ie.Marxists), by way of providing a fake academic gloss and placing economists like Friedman and Hayek on the same level of import as Einstein or Martin Luther King.

Communist Party of Canada called it a genocide too, they got my vote. For Singh I think it was a case of far too little and far too late.

Jagmeet Singh, leader of the federal NDP in Canada, has officially conceded defeat in his riding which has been taken by the Liberals.

The NDP itself is also losing official party status as they were unable to gain 12 or more seats, and will be unable to access certain funds and lose special parliamentary privileges.

Since their high water mark of being the Official Opposition after the 2011 election under Jack Layton, the NDP has triangulated itself to what we see today: a party that refused to leave the shadow of the Liberals.

 

Anyone got it?

Was thinking about this intellectual period last night. I don't know a lot but I get the vague impression of it being too much on the revisionist side for my taste, although the label New Left is so broad that I'm sure there's a huge span of thought that it gets applied to.

What theory still holds up from that time, what theorists do you agree/disagree with, what texts would you recommend to people who want to understand more about this time, t's origins,links to the French 1968 movement ,etc?
