Much respect for answering the Hegel question lol. Obvs I agree that not all contradictions are solved under communism, but I still think that the class contradictions must necessarily be, which is why the Hegel ep threw me for a loop.

2021-03-14 16:47:39 +0000 UTCI had been having a difficult week so it was lovely to find my comment addressed by my favourite podcasters. If I may make two footnotes, the first being that I date the cynicism of the British for politicians much further back than the expenses scandal. I know when I first arrived there in the late 1970s I was shocked at how so many spoke of how "they're all as bad as each other". I think it was during the "sleaze" of the Major govt that the mood really gripped the body politic in a wholesale form. Also, as to Congress, I had thought about mentioning them in my original comment exactly for the reasons George and Alex state. But only to say that I brought this up with a bunch of Americans in the 2010s to be told that while collectively Congress is held in disrepute, voters are actually often fond/supportive of their own Reps and senators because they can get Federal spending in the state and district. I would also like to offer solidarity to Alex for walking his cat. People who can manage that deserve praise, not sneering mockery.
