Naufrago urbano y de secano.

@profEHRBAR El concepto de "lebensraum" es muy anterior al nazismo, pero mucho. El que usted subido a un taburete otorgue credibilidades simplemente por la nacionalidad es lo mismo que cuando mi gato maulla al quedarse solo.

@rac1 No, no es escoria, es un saco de pus.

@EstebanNavarroS Tendría que ir a por las 611 pesetas del "haber en mano" que no nos pagaron porqué nos licenciaron el día 26 de Enero.

@MarieBensimon Del participante, en el grado que fuere, de los atentados.
El espíritu cainita que hay aquí no creo se dé en ningún otro sitio.

@PrezMarijose Marijose en Estepaís, antes llamado España, nunca nadie en tiempo alguno devolvió nada y eso ha creado una impronta cultural que no se puede borrar.
Como puede una vicepresidenta del Gobierno, Carmen Calvo, decir que el dinero público no es de nadie y quedarse tan fresca.

@RDFoxa2 A los de mi reemplazo nos licenciaron el día 26 de enero para ahorrarse las 611 pesetas del haber en mano que nos hubieran tenido que pagar el día 31.😂
Ya estaba la cosa malita.

@Vermutin2 Váyase a Costa Rica, que allí salvo del Barça y del Real Madrid no oira noticia nuestra.

@almorranos Cierto, pero le queremos (poco).

In 1968, while teenage Red Guards beat their professors to death with clubs in Beijing courtyards, Jean-Paul Sartre sat in Paris calling Mao's Cultural Revolution a model of revolutionary democracy. The most celebrated intellectual in France looked at a country burning its own libraries and saw liberation. He sold the Maoist newspaper La Cause du Peuple on French street corners himself, holding it aloft like a sacrament.

Consider what he was endorsing. Between 1966 and 1976, the Cultural Revolution killed somewhere between 500,000 and two million people. Schools shut down across the entire country. Students dragged teachers onto stages, hung placards around their necks, forced them to kneel on broken glass, then murdered them. The historian Bian Zhongyun, vice-principal of a girls' school in Beijing, died on August 5, 1966, beaten by her own students with nail-studded clubs. Sartre called this the people governing themselves.

You should understand why a man this intelligent got it this wrong. Sartre believed knowledge served power, that truth was whatever the revolution required, that the individual existed to be dissolved into the collective will. So when Mao abolished the distinction between teacher and student, between expert and mob, Sartre cheered. He had spent decades arguing that bourgeois reason was a class weapon. Here was a regime taking him at his word and clubbing the reasoners to death.

This is what economic illiteracy buys you. A university, a price, a contract, and a peasant's grain stockpile all carry knowledge that no central planner can seize or replicate. Mises explained the calculation problem in 1920. Hayek explained dispersed knowledge in 1945. Sartre had access to both and chose the dunce cap of the collective instead, then handed out its propaganda on the Rue de Rennes.

He died in 1980, mourned by 50,000 followers, never having retracted a word about Mao. The professors of Beijing got no such funeral. They got a ditch, and a philosopher in Paris explaining that their murder was freedom.
