The Sage Garden

Guntaker, calling TNF sage is ridiculous and misses the point entirely. Someone who has actually studied and sincerely believes in Marxist principles as opposed to simply regurgitating something they found on Wikipedia is not a sage scholar. It's unfortunate that this thread has been misappropriated in such a manner.

I'm not totally aware of the definition of "sage," or who exactly qualifies as sagacious.  But, as far as I can tell, TNF doesn't really have much of an intellectual foundation or an analytical mind.  He just sort of parrots slogans.  I would actually be surprised if he had studied Marxism at an academic or broad-based level.  I actually respect people who try out different perspectives on politics more than people who adopt a fixed, totalistic ideology and shout people down with slogans like a Maoist fanatic.

This is hilarious, given that you subscribe to the fixed, totalistic ideologies of American hegemony, Zionism, and liberalism.

Thanks for proving my point.

And thank you for ignoring mine. It's all well and good to call whatever I subscribe to 'totalistic' once you admit that your own systems of belief fall into that very category.

No.

I have an open mind and I don't care that you disagree with me.  I do not care what you believe.  My point is that you don't seem to have a principled foundation for your beliefs and you fall back on slogans and labels.  Workers, good.  Capitalists, bad.  Four legs, good. Two legs, bad.  I don't know if that represents your actual beliefs, maybe it doesn't.  I just have never seen any evidence that you're a serious thinker.  You just seem like a doctrinaire adherent of an ideology that you support without actually critically examining it.
