Communist Rules for Revolution
October 14th, 2018 2:12 PM FWIW: This is an interpretation of Communist Strategy produced at the end of WW2. We do not in fact know the author. But it was first published in the USA. The fact that communists don’t own up to it, doesn’t mean it isn’t the plan. Like “The Protocols” these are western articulations of the operational objectives of Abrahamic, Communist and now Postmodern and Feminist speech. So “Communist Denialism” of a QUOTE, isn’t the same as the operational description of Communist Tactics spoken in Abrahamic (Sophist) Code. —Communist Rules for Revolution–
Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial. Destroy their ruggedness.
Get control of all means of publicity.
Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and other trivialities.
Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
Destroy the peopleâs faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.
Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit and produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders, and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.
By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the populace helpless.

Is it unreasonable for fans to bitch to authors when authors repeatedly break deadlines?
There’s two award winning fiction series, one, The Name of The Wind by Pat Rothfuss, and the other, The Lies Of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.
These books are fictional masterpieces. They had the first piece, the sequel…
And now it’s been 4 years and we as fans are still fucking waiting, and still getting zero answers.
Is this me being petulant? Or do authors have some level of job responsibility to actually fuckin write and finish what they start?
Do authors approach the finish line and just fuckin choke? Do they get afraid they won’t be able to write a satisfactory conclusion?Oct 14, 2018, 10:05 PMJon JonathanWe hope the left makes it that easy for usOct 15, 2018, 4:34 AMJames Calvin BrittinghamThe second part of the Captain Pike episode was the first Star Trek program that I saw.

“WHO IS A CONSERVATIVE?”— (From Marginal Revolution) Avoiding the marxist-post
—“WHO IS A CONSERVATIVE?”—
(From Marginal Revolution)
Avoiding the marxist-postmodern love of verbal sophistry:
Conservatism consists in:
– Empiricism as a defense against hubris.
– Meritocracy as a defense against hubris.
– Private Property as a defense against hubris.
– Markets as a defense against hubris.
– The common (natural) law of tort as a defense against hubris
– The Jury-of-requisite-scale as a defense against hubris.
– Late Marriage as a defense against hubris.
– Intergenerational lending as a defense against hubris
– Taking no action for which one cannot perform restitution(Reversal) as a defense against hubris.
– Competition between the Scientific, Legal, Philosophical, and Theological as a defense against hubris.
– Small Nation States as a defense against hubris.
– Militias as a Defense against Hubris.
(That should be enough to get the point across.)
Not that Dunning-Kruger’s universal law, or the French Revolution, or all of continental philosophy, or the pseudosciences of Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Adorno; or the innumeracy of the general theory’s change of economics from measurement by balance sheet to measurement by income statement; or the sophisms of Derrida through Rorty and Rawls …. none need explaining to a Conservative. 😉
