    Kwame Ture, The Pitfalls of Liberalism, 1969:

    Fourth, I do not think that liberals understand the difference between influence and power, and the liberals get confused seeking influence rather than power. The conservatives on the right wing, or the fascists, understand power, though, and they move to consolidate power while the liberal pushes for influence.

    Kwame Ture was so incredibly on-point with his analysis, every other day I read something that reminds me of this particular essay.

    And he just kept getting “more knowledgeable, more experienced, and more determined to destroy American imperialism” in the infamous Colin Powell clip (can turn in subtitles if no speaker, very short clip)

    What a wise man

      It's been a long day for me so I don't have the focus or the energy right now but I'll definitely read that tomorrow.

      He just kept getting more knowledgeable, more experienced, and more determined.

      We should all be doing that.
