that kliman thing about graeber is horrible


It is needlessly oppositional but that seems to be Kliman's style. He would fit in well at www.rhizzone.net!!! Seriously yeah the article itself is pretty meh but if you read the comments he made a bunch of posts there and expands the argument. I guess it all breaks down to the old "anarchism doesn't work and doesn't pose a real threat to the capitalist mode of production" critique (logical that he'd take this position given the conclusions of his book).

on some points, probably, but not completely. if you read this article by graeber: http://eagainst.com/articles/david-graeber-the-shock-of-victory/
there are some things that are... well, idiotic. like, the first sentence is "The biggest problem facing direct action movements is that we don’t know how to handle victory." hmm, the biggest problem facing anarchist (let's be honest, that's what he means) movements is that they can't handle victory... hmmmm... later on in the article he flat-out admits the anarchist movement in Spain couldn't possibly have really won except in a stupid fantasy world, yet he still spins it as if that's not necessarily a bad thing/not something we should really be concerned about. i agree that simply existing and struggling is a feat on its own and there is validity to his argument that they made some progress towards "medium-term" goals, but it's like, impossible for me to read this and not roll my eyes thinking "maybe you should... build a political movement, seize state power and socialise the means of production??".

anyway, reading further in Debt and I think I like him a lot better as an anthropologist than as a historian

i saw some shit about colombia on TV so browsed the amazon store on my kindle with the search term "Colombia" and this was the 4th thing that came up

http://www.amazon.com/Bang-Colombia-Textbook-Sleep-Colombian/dp/1452877475/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336520510&sr=1-1

Bang Colombia is a travel guide designed to help you sleep with Colombian women in Colombia without paying for it. It contains dozens of moves, lines, and tips learned after six months of research in Medellin, Bogota, and Cali, where the author dedicated his existence to cracking the code of Colombian women, who are more challenging than their Western counterparts.

Inside this book you'll read...

A strategy for learning Spanish, including studying tips and a list of Spanish learning guides that won't break the bank

An honest breakdown on Colombian women, both in terms of physical traits and personality

The three key pillars of game that build the foundation of your Colombian bang strategy

A standard internet email template, in both English and Spanish, that you can use on three Colombian dating sites to have dates lined up before you even arrive

An easy Spanish line for when you're trying to weasel your way back in her room on the same night you meet

An explanation into the Colombian prepago female (gold digger), and what to do if you think you have one on your hands

You'll also find a lot of dating tips, such as...

A powerful first date move that makes a Colombian girl feel like she's known you longer than she really has

How to deal with flakey college girls

An effective Spanish phone script for calling a Colombian girl for the first time so you get the date without sounding like an idiot

The easiest, cheapest way to bang a Colombian girl after you've already had a successful date.

How to seal the deal even if you're staying at a dirty backpackers hostel



cool search algorithm Amazon.

I ended up buying this, seems pretty cool so far.

its groundless insistence on nazi germany and the ussr under stalin as dual manifestations of a singular phenomenon, its perverse pre-occupation with the figure of the individual totalitarian dictator, its nonsense about the desire of totalitarian parties to dominate the world (which entirely fails to note the pre-existing world domination achieved by the capitalist class), its whiny misrepresentation of deindividuation as being somehow intrinsically evil, its constant whiff of snivelling jewishness

so-called 'totalitarian' societies are anything but, they always have a clearly defined Outside, they are riddled with holes in which enemies lurk, their ( )hole complex is overpowering, their relation with the other is one of violence and suppression but they admit its existence. liberal democracy admits no competitors, other ideologies can only ever be anomalies or errors to be corrected, it is the true totalitarianism
