    This whole thing is so deranged it’s hard to choose what to highlight, but

    Politics is about compromise" is liberal propaganda that has very little to do with reality

    Ahh yes, the famous liberal propagandist, Otto Von Bismarck(politics is the art of compromise is derived from his quote “politics is the art of the possible”). I suppose Machiavelli is also a liberal propagandist for writing the Prince in 1512, or any of Jeremy Benthoms works. An entire branch of political philosophy is not propaganda just because you disagree with it.

    The viewpoint that politics should be examined from a practical or utilitarian viewpoint is so much older than even the modern concept of Liberal Politics that it’s such a clear and intense revelation of your personal obsessive bias against modern liberals. Which is whatever, I’m sick and tired of not having true leftist representitives myself. But c’mon man this whole reply is off the rails.

    You should really read more literature by people like Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn

    Yeah, people who has a different viewpoint on political nuance are unread and not properly educated, this is definitely going to fix the problem. If I read rules for radicals again, maybe this time it will finally erase the information in my brain about political history.

      deranged

      Nice. And no: throwing out names doesn’t erase the absolute fucking ignorance of political philosophy you displayed previously, sorry. The point out mentioning Chomsky and Zinn wasn’t about “people with different viewpoints”. It was literally about the U.S. constitution, the design of the modern system, and your assertion that people who recognize that it is working as intended are wacko conspiracy theorists. Yes, if you’ve really read those works, you should re-read them and actually pay attention this time.
