Marx said, other philosophers only tried to interpret the world; he was going to change it; but he was wise enough not to say “for the better”; he was even wiser when he said, “I am not a Marxist!”

Politics and big business:
they are both conducted by individuals
without a conception of right and wrong.
This is as true of Turks as it is of
Americans,
and we are no better. #

As is anyone who attempts to lump us Yanks in with the others. Trump is not a leader, he's a "wannabe". Even if he wins the election, which is highly doubtful, he still wouldn't be a political leader.

A historian is not judged by the degree of his patriotism, nationalism, loyalty or subersvience to a power structure, but by his honesty and impartiality. For more on this subject see Michael Grant’s GREEK AND ROMAN HISTORIANS: INFORMATION AND MISINFORMATION (London, 1995).

ISLAMOPHOBIA ******************************** We are told Islamophobia is racist nonsense. What we are not told is that no one in his right mind could be for sharia and jihad. #
