I think we might be heading for a recession. Australians are in debt 130 for every 100 they earn, being that our economy is based on domestic consumer spending to keep the aggregate demand high. Interest rates have to go up which will hurt the average consumer and thus a decline in consumer...

I think that’s quite bigoted. I’m really surprised about this, sounds like a huge problem. I was reading a feminists piece the other day about male and female dominated class rooms and the teacher’s gender had a huge effect. Male student are more comfortable with male teachers and...

It’s like when you say there’s a difference between academic Marxism and revolutionary praxis.

ok the frist one is funny and if you'd read my essay i never blamed males and whites for every thing i didnt even talk about racism. in fact i was attacking people who hoild view us such. The sconced one is a load of crap, the thesis that it's promoting has been discredited time and time...

Post-colonial feminism deals with the difference between female conditions in the first world and third world…so I guess recognising the difference between women’s conditions and not universalising it allows those different conditions to be dealt with.

The Post (Liberal) Feminist Condition. “They’ll throw the book at you in court. She’s the mother-the female. She’s got the tits. They’ll crush you.” Sandor Himmelstein in “Herzog” by Saul Bellow. The narrative of Bellow’s novel depicts a middle aged philosophy professor Moses Herzog...

What rhetoric did I use? I used words like Neo-Liberal, bourgeois and it offended you’re sensibilities? We live in a class system dominated by the capitalist class who own capital that’s why they call it capitalism! that is a fact the question is are you an apologist for such an order?

Dostoevsky once wrote “that apparent disorder that is in actuality the highest degree of bourgeois order” while in London during1862, jump forward to Sydney 2005 and there is disorder not conducive to bourgeois order in the streets. Over the last few days from the 30th of August through the 2nd...

Whats an E2 major work? "I have read Camus' "The outsider", and while i have a great appreciation for absurdist work, that was one book that i felt irritated reading it. You can't sympathise with the main character because he is so lacking in brains and/or morals that you just feel pissed...

The Absurd Hero & The Ruthless Critic. “O my soul, do not aspire to immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible.” -Pindar, Pythian three Albert Camus is regarded as the premier illumination of the philosophy known as Absurdism, which is often considered a pessimistic version...

Well I consider my biggest influence to be Marx and other Marxist of different variants so naturally I don’t agree with Strauss but I guess why you don’t seem to think I’m that critical is I thought by exposing his philosophy into the light of day then it defeats itself.

That’s a joke right… “Asked about the administration's position on the bill, Vice President Dick Cheney stated, "Now that we removed Colin Powell, we can pursue aggressive growth-oriented legislation like this." that would be so cool if it was a real quote. Colin Powell not being a Neocon was...

leetom I know what you’re argument was but it wasn’t anything to do with my original argument which is spose to be the foundation of the thread. I do have respect for the Jacobins and their ability to bring affective government to revolutionary France… Anyways you should read Leo Strauss...

Maybe you should re-read I never compared the too, I just merely stated the fact that the word terrorism was used by the government as a budge of honour to describe the official government policy. But if you do want to compare the two you’ll see the same kind of black and white morality...
