Roderic Day on X
"You can't resist for very long a truth you discover for yourself."
Brainwashing: Its History; Use by Totalitarian Communist Regimes; and Stories of American and British Soldiers and Captives Who Defied It
Edward HunterRoderic Day@AlphaclassARC No. I've written at length about this. The term "Brainwashing" was introduced by George Orwell and CIA agent Edward Hunter to refer not to mere persuasion, but to braindead "2+2=5" stupidity. If you use it, I'm against you. https://t.co/DfcVUv5HXA

Class Struggle: A Political and Philosophical History
Domenico LosurdoRoderic DayThe book acknowledges lifting its thesis from Jones Manoel (who wrote the original essay about "Fetish for Defeat") and Domenico Losurdo (who wrote "Class Struggle"). But these two writers have a *very different idea* of what this means: they *de*-emphasize "workerism." https://t.co/RbfiDhmdFu

Non-Violence: A History Beyond the Myth
Domenico LosurdoRoderic DayPS. @YaBoiHakim, if you're reading this, I speak not only for me but also for JM when I say: *Make Domenico Losurdo content!* Read his books and works, turn them into videos. Flight From History, War and Revolution, Nietzsche, Liberalism, Non-Violence… it'll make a difference!

Dirty Truths
Michael ParentiRoderic DayNew @RedSailsOrg! A short, clever introduction to some basic capitalist concepts from Michael Parenti's 1996 "Dirty Truths." Interestingly, it reflects what I consider an issue: the Western habit of using the term "surplus value" but not "labour-power." https://t.co/T8fK6h7D8r
