New Right Jonathan Bowden Marxism & Frankfurt School 2

[DMPineau]

Thank you for sharing, if nothing else, this is an excellent expose on the right's perception of the far left tradition.

Fantastic. Good speech.

[DMPineau]

What're you on? Poor man can't do oratory worth a damn, he's double-negativing all over himself. Perpetuity *IS* endless. If you decide to do something better with your time than listen to this deeply misinformed rant on Marxism, let me summarize for you - Johnathan Bowden on Communism: It's shitty, and crappy.

[sabbath000eddy]

This speech is fantastic.

[DMPineau]

Not if you actually want to *understand* Marxism.

[sabbath000eddy]

Do you mean 'understand' or agree? I can't bear leftists. They want to change the nature of man and destroy everything that men value. I too don't like the global capitalism, globalization and liberalism of the United States of America BUT communism and marxism are not the solution.

@sabbath000eddy

I take my previous comment back. He has showmanship - but Marxism isn't a 180 degree adversary of traditionalism the way he makes it out to be, its a misinforming speech I think. In fact I think there's a hell of a lot of common ground between radical traditionalists on the so-called 'right' and Marxists on the so-called 'left' that needs to be addressed rather than tearing each other apart because just that's what they've tended to do historically.

Simplistic far right vitriol.

He completely disreagrds the many millions murdered as a result of capitalist aggression throught the past 400 years. Slavery was a capitalist profit strategy. The overthrows of even moderately socialistic governments throughout the 20th century are numerous. William Blum's book 'Killing Hope: US Military & CIA Interventions Since WW2' sheds light on this -- largely untaught -- capitalist holocaust.

This speaker is a complete right wing loon.

extremely unique thought.

[PreserveDiversity2]

I see aspects of Marxism in the "White guilt" concept. I also see aspects od Marxism is the race denial consept, which is just like the class elimenation consept.

[willyrobinson]

@PreserveDiversity2 - scientific racism or genocide rather than scientific materialism - YUP!

[FergusRaliegh]

Bowden is excellent. I've been thinking recently that speaches like this should be avaiable in Italian French & Russian. H.C. Strache and Marine Lepen in English too. Imagine it - I think it would cross-fertilize Nationalism and help it grow. Bowden and others deserve and wider audience -Grow Nationalism where it exists and plant it where it is absent.

The way to fight Socialism is economics: Austrian economics. Von Mises and Hoppe are essential to fighting this ideological, unempirical scourge.

[willyrobinson]

One must not fall into the ideological collective of 'Individualism' but standing against materialism both in the corporatist area and the dialectical materialist area: Communism/Socialism. One must also embrace the natural collective (race/nation/faith etc) while rejecting the unnatural as a basis for his world view. Outside of that yeah I agree with you - free market works. But again usury ie. finance based economy is only going to be a ruin for the people who perpetuates & embraces it.
