A couple of political/philosophy links for today:
- Thomas Riggins explores the possible answers provided by Bertrand Russell to the question: What are the conditions of socialism?
- Cassiodorus at DailyKos ponders the incompatibility between democracy and capitalism.
- In a similar vein: Dylan Ratigan on Corporate Communism.
- Following upon my earlier post today on tolerance, an argument against, propped up by the usual straw man and displaying a characteristic lack of empathy. (Update: Hate to link to this actually ... )
- On a lighter note, Alexander R. Galloway reviews Mehdi Belhaj Kacem’s L'esprit du nihilisme: Une ontologique de l'Histoire, and positions MBK within contemporary French philosophy.
Enjoy.
