The book is titled "War is the Greatest Evil There Is"
I will say, the book do be making that idea believable, war is bad, like, really bad, like, really really bad
All the worst crimes imaginable, murder, rape, theft, torture, deception, destruction, decimation, and genocide; all are expected and most are encouraged in war. Hedges has seen the worst of humanity and he affirms how truly evil war is.
My only disagreement is with his technology bad and humans inherently sadistic takes.
And also he's right that porn is bad

You complained about my ideology being dead and I gave you examples of several large countries who where birthed out of ML ideology and continue to thrithe in the face of western hegemony.
It is why im a ML, not a left-com; I like things that work and exist in reality.
And do I think the Russian war was good?
Yeah, of course; what do you think the alternative was? It was good because relative to the bad opition, which was perptually slavery and famine it was good.

Also literally no system or ideology, even anarchism is free of a bad past. Anarchism so often predates fascism and gives room for neo-liberalism to enter.
It is a completely idealist ideology with no plan or action and will forever be irrelvant; the best an anarchist state can hope to achieve is being invaded by a capitalist country.
Your criticisms are laughable
'They expect me to read a book!'
Clearly too much to ask for 14 year old liberals online who watched mr robot once

lets do some anarchist theory reading
“Himself a Jew, Marx has around him, in London and France, but especially in Germany, a multitude of more or less clever, intriguing, mobile, speculating Jews, such as Jews are every where: commercial or banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers of all shades, with one foot in the bank, the other in the socialist movement, and with their behinds sitting on the German daily press — they have taken possession of all the newspapers — and you can imagine what kind of sickening literature they produce. Now, this entire Jewish world, which forms a single profiteering sect, a people of blooksuckers, a single gluttonnous parasite, closely and intimately united not only across national borders but across all differences of political opinion — this Jewish world today stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and at the same time at the disposal of Rothschild. I am certain that Rothschild for his part greatly values the merits of Marx, and that Marx for his part feels instinctive attraction and great respect for Rothschild.
This may seem strange. What can there be in common between Communism and the large banks? Oh! The Communism of Marx seeks enormous centralization in the state, and where such exists, there must inevitably be a central state bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, which. speculates on the work of the people, will always find a way to prevail ….”

Imagine subscribing to an ideology coined by a white nationalist anti-semite then expecting anyone to take you seriously.
