Found a 2023 CUNY Dissertation summarizing research on terrorism and (counter)insurgency. Too early into it to have an opinion otherwise, especially on its critiques on Mao.

I'm unsure about the quality of this 1962 translation of Võ Nguyên Giáp. This edition appears to be published by the American Eagle Burger Freedom institute. I'm going through the foreword by Roger Hilsman:
<This is a peculiar book, as the reader will see for himself. People’s War, People’s Army is not a well-organized book but, rather, a collection of papers; and a lot of it is simply lies.
…
<Though far less ambitious, the book can be compared with Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which expressed a distorted view of history as seen by a fanatical personality. Nevertheless, Mein Kampf contained useful clues
…
But Hilsman sees a difference: Giáp's book
<is far inferior

Again, my point is that there are dozens of quotes from Hitler that an average person on the Internet who supports Communism might find appealing or agree with, but that’s due to the nature of populist, authoritarian, militaristic, and nationalistic state


>"The Third Reich will always retain the right to control property owners. If you say that the bourgeoisie is tearing its hair over the question of private property, that does not affect me in the least. Does the bourgeoisie expect some consideration from me?… Today's bourgeoisie is rotten to the core; it has no ideals any more; all it wants to do is earn money and so it does me what damage it can"

>"National Socialism derived from each of the two camps the pure idea that characterizes it, national resolution from bourgeois tradition; vital, creative socialism from the teaching of Marxism."

>"All the more so after the war, the German National Socialist state, which pursued this goal from the beginning, will tirelessly work for the realization of a program that will ultimately lead to a complete elimination of class differences and to the creation of a true socialist community."

>"Capitalism as a whole will now be destroyed, the whole people will now be free. We are not fighting Jewish or Christian capitalism, we are fighting very capitalism: we are making the people completely free.' … It is only the international Stock Exchange and loan- capital, the so-called 'supra-state capital,' which has profited from the collapse of our economic life, the capital which receives its character from the single supra-state nation which is itself national to the core, which fancies itself to be above all other nations, which places itself above other nations and which already rules over them."

>"In those countries, it is actually capital that rules; that is, nothing more than a clique of a few hundred men who possess untold wealth and, as a consequence of the peculiar structure of their national life, are more or less independent and free. They say: 'Here we have liberty.' By this they mean, above all, an uncontrolled economy, and by an uncontrolled economy, the freedom not only to acquire capital but to make absolutely free use of it. That means freedom from national control or control by tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Okay, so I'm not European, and I'm not fond of mass migrations to countries because I know they destabilize nations. However, my position on the Jewish question is this: it's almost impossible to pretend they aren't vastly overrepresented in various fields, intelligentsia, entertainment and politics. That doesn't mean they deserve genocide, but I follow the Gumilev school of thought that the Jews should be 'remade' by being placed in a province where they do manual labor for generations and even intermingle with the locals to create a new Jewish race without

I don't know what author OP is talking about but it sounds similar to what Arthur Kronfeld wrote about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Kronfeld

He was a psychiatrist and had the (mis)fortune to meet Hitler in person before 1933.

After he emigrated to the USSR he wrote a short brochure about mental and physical health of the Nazi leaders called "Degenerates in Power". The target audience were soviet medical workers. Unfortunately, it exists only in Russian.

At the beginning, Kronfeld describes how he participated as an expert on the trial with Werner Abel. Abel was an ex-NSDAP member who accused Hitler & co. of taking money from an Italian agent Giuseppe Migliorati for ceasing the pan-German propaganda among the South Tyrol population.

When interrogated, Hitler wasn't able to give a concrete answer to any question, he was just running his usual yappanomics about his mission to save Germany. Before the trial started, Hitler attempted to physically assault Abel but when he saw that he is stronger than him, immediately pussied out and started angrily yelling slurs at him and was literally foaming from his mouth.

What follows are typical descriptions of the Nazi elite. They are cripples, sadists and sexual perverts - usually homosexuals, their heroic deeds of WWI are pure fiction. Goebbels is a dwarf with unbelievable sex appetite, Himmler is a midwit who became famous only by backstabbing his boss (Gregor Strasser), Goering is a drug addict who loves morphium
(which caused his obesity), is vain and loves to dress himself in finery but looks like a clown, Streicher is a hysterical retard who opposes vaccination since it's "poisoning German blood with foreign proteins", Ribbentrop is a crook who got rich by selling shitty champagne, Hess is a transvestite who calls himself "Fräulein Anna" etc. etc.

So more “Pink Swastika” nonsense, I am genuinely sick of the frequent comments that any outward display of violence or bigotry means someone is a self-hating closet case. Do people really think no straight man has ever been insecure about his masculinity? Is it really not obvious that queerphobia and strict adherence to traditional gender roles can be motivated by something other than self-hatred?

>What's the leftypol take on this book? I'm not trolling - it's existence has haunted my life. I was raised catholic… Christianity has both ruined & saved my life and my opinions on it have only gotten more complex.


It's no different from.any other book.
Christians act like their religion invented morals and ethics.
Very solipsistic

<The man's unsubstantiated allegations of "ritualistic sacrifice" appeared in an email exchange between an apparent FBI agent and New York police detective, per the DOJ's records (the file name is "EFTA00147661" (archived)). The DOJ appeared to have removed this file from the Epstein Library after Snopes first reported this story. We contacted the department to ask why and await a reply.

Starts somehow coherent in effort to lull reader into false sense of security before transitioning into Fox News-tier rant condemning evil welfare state destroying family values and finally degenerates into a /pol/ post about soy and maxism in hollywood movies. Reported.

I still prefer the mysoginist ad hominem argument.

Yeah I know you do.

Not only radfem literature, Marxist-feminist literature is the only kind of feminist literature that's somewhat sane.

Does one of the mods have a soft spot for Dworkin?

Like they can't rape you legally. If you have higher standards how can anyone objectify you? At least in that way

Y'all just don't wanna call a woman a gooner. Women are huge gooners. And I don't have to feel bad for a gooner that was completely your own doing so too bad. No love for whores. Just disease and gaslighting

New version of Esochannealogy!

Extremely dangerous. Please be cautious with this technique.

Let me explain. A "magolithic" is a fragment of a soul that can be consumed. Consuming it causes a psychological change in favor of the parasitic soul.

This object, also called an esocanaleological horcrux, grants a form of immortality to the soul, in the sense of preserving it.

Take QAnon, for example. Did it help Donald Trump? Yes. But not for free—there was a price. QAnon generated multiple versions of its soul from its magolithic. Some of those versions invaded the Capitol. It's a sad story, but an illuminating one.

In the end, QAnon's magolithic isn't made up only of its supporters. Those who oppose it also feed it, ensuring its psychological imprint endures through time.

Similarly, movements like the MBL/Mission believe they possess a tool that makes them more powerful—and they do. They aren't charging money, only souls. Just as QAnon only charged that from its followers and Trump.

Whether you call it the "Deep State" or "Global Cabal" doesn't matter. The magolithic devours the soul of whoever consumes it.

Here is the crucial lesson: QAnon did not give power to Trump and his followers for free. It did not provide a good reason to justify him. It destroyed millions of families, consumed millions of lives, led to the radicalization of millions, and created something we might call a "singularity."

All of it came at a cost: whoever consumes its magolithic corrupts their own soul by assimilating the soul of QAnon. Likewise, whoever consumes my magolithic may assimilate countless psychological tactics, but in the end, they will be corrupting their own soul.

This thing is literally everywhere.
