You're probably too young to remember this but music peaked with Hildegard von Bingen, after that it all went downhill.

Sanson guillotining himself when there's nobody left to execute.

Exactly my point. Obama chose not to prosecute them.

He's going to be in the same prison as the torturers in the Bush administration and the crooked bankers who caused the financial crisis.

I've been doing that since 1995.

You know the video in which she thinks it's hilarious to prosecute people, send them to jail because their kids weren't in school? No better proof how she thinks about struggling families, single parents, poor folks...

You're supposed to spend it to stimulate the economy. It's literally called a stimulus.

The gold standard is silly. Deficit spending mostly good - depending a little on what you spend it on of course. Money printing mostly good - except in some very rare, extreme cases like Weimar Germany.

Conventional wisdom, especially of libertarians and neoclassical economists, says the opposite, but these guys serve the financial sector and the rich. Their worry is always inflation, even when there is no inflation in sight.

The truth is that we could have used a lot more inflation in recent years, to inflate away the mountain of debt that cripples 90% of the population. But it only occurs if unemployment is really low (when wages and prices go up as a result) and the neoliberals aren't going to let that happen.

You are leaving out the most important thing: capitalism. Imperialism, like its predecessor colonialism, is driven by the capitalist need to expand forever, control every resource.

You know who said it very well:

The discovery of gold and silver in America, the extirpation, enslavement and entombment in mines of the aboriginal population, the beginning of the conquest and looting of the East Indies, the turning of Africa into a warren for the commercial hunting of black-skins, signalised the rosy dawn of the era of capitalist production. These idyllic proceedings are the chief momenta of the era of capitalist accumulation.

The values of white supremacy play an important role here, of course, but they are not the primary cause.

Following in the master's footsteps.

Donald Trump has slammed the door shut in the face of families fleeing persecution and violence. On day one, I will eliminate President Trump’s decision to limit asylum and end the MPP program. #RestoreAsylumNOW

Marx: A Very Short Introduction by Peter Singer is really useful, just what you're looking for I think.
Foucault can be difficult, but his lectures are much easier: I recommend Society Must Be Defended.
And why not Quotations from Chairman Mao, aka the Little Red Book?

Thanks, hadn't heard from Badiou for a while, good to see him still on the left of the left of the extreme left.

I look up who some of these liberals are, and they're just like, normal people with boring jobs who leave boring restaurant reviews, and then they enter the public arena and advocate endless wars and economic policies that ruin lives and destroy the planet.

It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.

From a Japanese perspective this is diversity; traditionally it's a very homogeneous place where Western blood was not an asset, even today "hafu" kids can be bullied for it. It's also factual: most Japanese have whiter skin than so-called White people.
