Seuss was basically a communist. That's why half his books look like they're written by the Green Party. The lorax is basically a book about anti-capitalism.
I don't want any books banned.
Agreed. Not even Karl Marx should be banned. It should be studied and countered.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Corollary: History doesn't repeat, Historians merely repeat each other.
Awoman!!
No Lie.... Came across a new edition of Mein Kamppffhhh to ship (and to be clear I don’t support dat shit)... thought about throwing it in the un-sortable bin where it would never emerge and then as a libertarian said “let it be...”
Give them the benefit of the doubt, it might've been a history buff not a nazi. AFAIK the versions you can get from amazon are annotated, not pure original text so it makes sense to buy it for people studying fascism.
I own a copy of mein kampf with full translation. I own a copy of das kapital with full translation. I own many books about a variety of topics and I always fully and completely condemn ANYONE trying to prevent me from reading ANYTHING.
Agreed. I am the type of person who would have a Koran next to my Bible on the shelf just read both. Doesn’t mean I believe both.
It's like the inverse of how liberals think the bible says "money is the root of all evil"
Details matter.
I'm pretty sure the Bible says that the Devil is the root of all evil, but I may not have been paying attention that day.
the love of money is the root of all evil.
any evil that a human can fall into, they can bring themselves into by avarice and the love of gain. the love of money is not the exclusive root of all evil, there are other ways to fall.
money itself is not morally evil but it is dangerous. isn't this something we see every day? gaining wealth can change good people who have never had much. people who are generous to a fault when poor, become rich and suddenly the wealth locks them to itself. isn't this what we see in the papers when we read about people like Epstein, the people who begin with a love for money, then once the money is taken for granted, graduate to a love of power? and indulge themselves in vices not even, so much, for the sake of pleasure, but for the sake of demonstrating their power over humans?
yes, it's a hard saying. everything in there is a hard saying. everything in the world is a trap, and there is no way for a human to live by the hard sayings, and no way for a human to avoid the traps alone.
this of course, is the point. the cultural madness of our opposition, the constant chopping and cutting and cancelling, this is really nothing new. it is the normal condition of godless humans. search behind their strident arrogance and you will find the terrified desperation, of a mass of humans trying to create a standard of 'purity' without the standard Who Is, and to live by their created standard, each his own pseudo-savior.
it can never work.
It says "the love of money is the root of evil"
Not "money is the root of all evil"
No he's an admitted communist/eco fascist. He used to tie himself to trees to prevent them from being cut down. Dr. Suess books are unironic marxist propaganda. It's all about sharing to make things equal no matter what, conservation of all life under any circumstance, an anti-capitalist approach and open borders. Go read the books right now. They're not that long. When reading try thinking about it. Even Green Eggs and Ham is propagand. It's about rejection of GMOs.
True but the message was lost on me as a child who grew up with those books. There were also multiple animated films of the books, all of which I also saw. End result: I hate communism, and the cancer of leftism in general. No brainwashing worked on me.
My daughter and I adore The Sneetches; both the book and the 70s animated short. However I know his mind was somewhere in the early stages of the cancerous critical race theory when he wrote it
