Three takeaways: 1) the Durants have more to answer for than I thought 2) despite the many long tomes they wrote, people like BN only read the 100p epitomization 3) Ariel still not getting her due.

Netanyahu: It is not enough to be moral. It is not enough to be just. "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. If you are strong enough, ruthless enough, and powerful enough, evil will overcome good."

Who before Marx was interested in the transformation of quantitative into qualitative? Did Plato specify how many people were in the cave? How big can an aristocracy be, according to Aristotle? Was Aquinas able to enumerate the Ten Evils?

@APBrons 「・・・かなりのちのことであり、日本についていえば、統制派が権力を握るようになるこの時期の末期から、「軍財抱合」が完成するつぎの時期のはじめにかけてのことである」

大内力 (1967):「ファシズムは、しばしば、危機に陥った独占資本の反動的政治支配の体制だとか、国家独占資本主義に対応した政治的上部構造だとかいわれるのである。その事は、ある意味では正しい。一般にファシズムのもとでは、社会主義運動は激しく弾圧され、窒息せしめられる。

Cracking myself up imagining a Great Books program that's just Aristotle's _Ethics_, all three volumes of _Capital_, the _Grundrisse_, and cap it off with McIntyre's _After Virtue_.
