"Hippie meets Hitler" has more honesty than I could have hoped for after the chat I had with the guy last week. It's not an attack in my eyes because he reports what I said to him and only assumes it's self-evident that these ideas are evil. Political power is immoral, political equality and not material quality is what matters ethically, free markets work, economics is a science.
Yeah, he says I'm a liar and evil and denying climate change is licensing genocide. But those are assertions of his own. There are no attempts to refute what I believe so readers get to judge for themselves and bring their own context to the mix.
Good VSM article from Sir Roger this week too. Just annoying that my notices about his visit on Thursday and our film screening on Sunday didn't make it to print for some unknown reason.
Can't complain really. Nice to go out of my final week of lectures famous...

"The higher levels of poverty on the planet than ever before"
Hahaha...
That basically discredits the entire article by itself.
Not that its not the only obvious mistake!

It's just fun fun fun. And he actually does kinda explain free market capitalism not too badly- just that he doesn't endorse it.

You guys should read New Internationalist a bit more often, you might learn something! Then again...that would involve reading something other than Ayn Rand and the Bible. Might be a bit much. New ideas! Fuck!!

"something other than Ayn Rand and the Bible."
Irony alert!
