the bourgeoisie would best treat their anxiety by abdicating their class position and returning ownership of the means of production to the workers in solidarity and mutual prosperity. my brother wouldn't be so mean if it weren't for his slavish pursuit of extracting profits from his workers. o'brien's prank is ultimately for quark's own benefit.

i'm not sure what to do in this situation
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Israel, is in fact, USA/Israel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, USA plus Israel. Israel is not an imperialist system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning USA system made useful by the USA corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full imperialist system as defined by Lenin. Many NATO countries run a modified version of the USA system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of USA which is widely used today is often called “Israel,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the USA system, developed by the USA Project. There really is an Israel, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
i agree with the point you're making, but the illiad ends before achilles' death. the next chapter is hector's dad sneaking through the enemy siege camp to recover his son's body, pleading with achilles, who agrees, fulfilling his redemption arc from rebelling against his own king's commands, suffering the consequences of that in the form of his lover's death and funeral, his desecration of hector's body, and finally acquiescing to king priam's request, which is specifically being made not as a king, but as someone appealing only to achilles' sense of universal humanity. the illiad ends with hector's funeral because that is the most important point being made in the story, not divine punishment.

nate is making the mistake of thinking the atlantic and antlanticism were created as an intellectual project rather than a white supremacist one.
My basic criticism is that while it presents itself as a magazine of ideas—which makes readers feel as if they are engaging intelligently with important issues—it in fact covers those issues in such a superficial and slipshod way that people are liable to be left with a worse understanding of the issue than when they went in, though they may be wrongly convinced that they have learned something.
his criticism is that he really wants it to be a magazine of ideas instead of a propaganda mill for liberal american racism, but the purpose of a system if what it does, nate.
