I've been reading alot lately and just jumped into some Noam Chompsky books, hes a GENIUS and if you ever needed to know about US imperialism...hes the author to read.

Bush in Babylon - Tariq Ali -- History of Iraq and the US involvement in the middle east. Good book.

Favorite Authors/Books/Subjects??

When i read non-fiction i like to explore a lot of diffrent aspects and views of it. Like right now i am in the middle of Mein Kampf by adlof hitler. The book is fuckin long as shit, and it is hard to read cuz he was a horrible auther. However it does give you an insigt to his life and how he thinks. As far as fiction goes' Mario puzo, i have read quite a few of his books, and liked all of them.

That book sounds like it's full of hate and rage.










Didn't you say that in another thread a long time ago?!??!?!?!?!? :rolleyes: Yeah man it's full of rage. Some BRUTE niggers/negroes raping pretty blue eyed white women because of negro slavery. Oh yeah they talk about robbing lil ole white women because they can't find a job because "the man" wants to hold them down........

@Coldblooded

Whats bad about Chompsky? I heard he's pretty good.

I don't like his views on some things and i especially don't like when he allies him self with the neo-cons &/or the U.S. government in general.


The role of intellectuals is to clarify the major issues and define the major threats to peace, social justice, national independence and freedom in each historical period, as well as to identify and support the principal defenders of the same principles. Intellectuals have a responsibility to distinguish between the defensive measures taken by countries and peoples under imperial attack and the offensive methods of imperial powers bent on conquest. It is the height of cant and hypocrisy to engage in moral equivalences between the violence and repression of imperial countries bent on conquest with that of Third World countries under military and terrorist attacks. Responsible intellectuals critically examine the political context and analyze the relationships between imperial power and its paid local functionaries who they describe as "dissidents" they do not issue moral fiats according to their dim lights and their political imperatives.

He doesn't.

So where the fuck would you please sycophant neointellectual dribble like Robert Nozick or pgramatist philosophers?

The role of politically aware intellectuals, I'd say...not necessarily the intrinsic role of "the intellectual".

Mandatory social activism bullshit....

Much of our great knowledge comes from people locked in their rooms doing inane shit all day who stutter when they talk to people - people who I would definitely call intellectual.

All I read all day are text books I cant think of the last "book" I read. Manufacturing consent is good I thought very insightful, Chompsky maintains relevance to me because he gets to the real meaning behind the words that people speak.
