Attack the System- The Great Awokening 17th June 2021A concise but excellent and entirely correct description of how the left-wing of the capitalist class approaches racial issues. The Left will often point how out the right-wing will use racism, social conservatism, invidiousness toward out-groups, etc. to distract the generally socially conservative, white working to middle classes […]Keith Preston
- Creating unity or division? The origins of the Federación Anarquista Ibèrica 17th June 2021By Jason Garner, University of Sussex Journal of Contemporary History, Issue Six, August 2003. As anarchism was never a mass movement in either the United Kingdom or the United States it has often been the victim of equivocal, prejudicial and patronising (often sympathetic) interpretations. Studies of the anarchist […]Keith Preston
- 12-Year-Old Boy and 14-Year-Old Girl Have Shootout With Cops 17th June 2021I greatly suspect that if these had been poor inner-city black kids, the cops would have simply blown them away. A 12-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl who ran away from their Florida group home are in custody after cops say they broke into a house, armed themselves with […]Keith Preston

- Samizdata quote of the day 17th June 2021For these CEOs, the problem isn’t just the media and external critics: The wokeness is coming from inside the building. At dinner parties, they ask each other the same question: How do we keep woke activists off the payroll? “It’s the first thing they want to talk about these days,” a vice president at a […]Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)
- Samizdata quote of the day 16th June 2021When Ikea pulled its GBN ads yesterday, it said it wanted to make sure the content on the channel was in line with the firm’s ‘humanistic values’. You might ask what humanism has to do with selling flat-pack furniture. More to the point, what does humanism have to do with spying on employees – something […]Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)
- “Classics Won’t Be the Same Without Latin or Greek” 14th June 2021The classics department at Princeton University recently decided that the idea that classics majors ought to know Latin or Greek has been a mistake. Old-fashioned, perhaps. Until now, undergrads who wanted to major in the study of classical texts needed to come into the concentration with at least an intermediate level of Latin or Greek.

- What technological advantage did Russia have in the Russo-Persian wars? 29th May 2021Every summary I’ve read of the Russo-Persian wars notes that the latter held the numerical advantage (particularly since the former were busy fighting the Ottomans & Napoleon), but the former won because of their better technology.

- Review: Lawrence in Arabia 10th June 2021Scott Anderson’s Lawrence in Arabia is, quite obviously, about the famous T. E. Lawrence “of” Arabia. The book ranges significantly wider than Lawrence’s personal account, however, shifting between the perspectives of Ottoman officials, German spies, American spies, Zionist spies, and of course British spies. I read this book concurrently with The Berlin-Baghdad Express, so my […]evolutiontheorist
- Review: The Berlin-Baghdad Express 24th May 2021Note: This book is not actually about the Berlin-Baghdad Express railway. It has a few good chapters on the subject, but the bulk of the book is actually on Ottoman-German political relations and the Ottoman sphere in World War One. That said, it is a good book about WWI, if that’s what you’re looking for. […]evolutiontheorist
