    That standfirst is mental. I need to know what their argument could possibly be.

      It’s awful.

      The author seems to lack any critical thinking skills or relevant historical knowledge and simply possesses a starry eyed trust in institutions (except the ICC apparently).

      Either that or they are knowingly peddling bullshit.

        Nah, people at these ‘premier’ publications are true believers, they’re that dumb. It’s why they earn the big bucks, they’re a truly rare breed.

        They’ve gone through their formative years, academic and professional lives, encased in pure, unadulterated neoliberal thought without a single ray of dialectical materialism or critical analysis that goes against their world view crossing into anything they consume. They read Thomas Friedman by the bed side, watch ‘West Wing’ on their downtime, patron chic/fine dining establishments, and if they interact with the average peasant they pat themselves on the back for not vomitting and being a true man of the people

          These people will be sent to work on the fields in the countryside after the revolution. Those that aren’t shot, that is.
