The complete emancipation of women from the ties which held them back in the past, during the ages of despotism and ignorance, is a basic aim of the Party and the Revolution. Women make up one half of society. Our society will remain backward and in chains unless its women are liberated, enlightened and educated…
No Google cheating! Was it Christopher Hitchens? Naomi Wolf? Roderick Long? Or someone else?
I know that old weird-beard Karl Heinrich said stuff very similar to that.
Heh, the guy who wrote the first gay vampire story. But no, not him.
Hmmm, the last person I remember who connected Revolutionary rhetoric with women’s rights was Engels?
I’ll let this run for a bit this morning then give you guys the answer.
Kim Jong Il
You are sort of on the right track.
Due to dictator clue and current events I’m gonna go Colonel Gaddafi
Even closer.
Ayatollah Khomeini? 
The answer is Saddam Hussein.
Excellent.
Just excellent.
Did you know that Hussein’s party admired the Jacobins?
Yes, Ba’ath was strongly influenced by Jacobinal and German National Socialist ideas.
All ad hominems aside… is he wrong?
I believe the purpose, was to show the irony. What Ad hominems are you referring to any ways? I don’t see any.
I was saying “if you’re implying his argument is wrong because he’s a tyrant, that’s fallacious.”
He was also a Rothbardian anarcho-capitalist.
This is what he said in court:
“I do not respond to this so-called court, with all due respect to its people… Neither do I recognize the body that has designated and authorized you, nor the aggression, because all that has been built on false basis is false.”
There were no ad hominems. Perhaps you are thinking of the genetic fallacy? These are two different things.
Anyways, the point was 1) Saddam Hussein was a leftist; 2) Saddam Hussein pushed the same secular managerialism American politicians do and.
As far as whether he was wrong:
Our society will remain backward and in chains unless its women are liberated, enlightened and educated…
Women can be liberated, and they can be educated. I am not sure they can be enlightened. They’re even worse than men on thinking for themselves.
They’re even worse than men on thinking for themselves.
Where did you hear that?
He thought it, for himself
