To read or not to read, that is the question...

 

MUST READ LIST

Yuval Noah Harari, Mustafa Suleyman, Daron Acemoğlu, Yanis Varoufakis, and Kojin Karatani must read the books on the list I propose below...

Why? Because Michel Foucault, once famously said,


“If I had been familiar with the Frankfurt School [Adorno, Horkheimer, Benjamin, and others], I would not have said a number of stupid things that I did say, and I would have avoided many of the detours that I made while trying to pursue my own humble path—when, meanwhile, avenues had been opened up by the Frankfurt School.”


This was after his visit to support Khomeini of Iran. Interview conducted by Gerard Raulet in 1983 and published as "Structuralism and Post-Structuralism: An Interview with Michele Foucault," in Telos 55 (Spring 1983), 7, 95-217, reproduced in Kritzman (1990: 17–47).

Now is the reading time for those who make new "fashionable nonsense." They can read all the books on the list, but if they had read only the ones under their names, most probably they might not have written what they had written:

Do you fear that Trump will trump capitalism?

 The American imperial colonialists and warmongering globalists who are exporting so-called “their democracy” to various “non-inclusive institution regions” by proxy wars with the creation of fundamentalist religious soldiers financed by the CIA and by the “democratic” establishment of the North American State created the same in the US as it created in us, globally. Why are Marxists and leftists among American intellectuals and academics impeaching the American people and American democracy? Democracy is everywhere the same and producing the same results. It must be understood that democracy, the cradle of capitalism, is dying. Capitalism will be buried by digitalism... 

Who is going to make the coffin? Trump or globalists? That is the question! 

Good morning, Vietnam!
