Quote of the Day:

Terrorism is the propaganda of the deed, and the terrorist is always as interested in his audience as his victim. But social media makes this vector much more powerful. We become host to the virus, and we accelerate its spread.

  1. “Terrorism is the propaganda of the deed, and the terrorist is always as interested in his audience as his victim. But social media makes this vector much more powerful. We become host to the virus, and we accelerate its spread.”

    What to make of Dr. Meloy’s comment? It appears he is suggesting that there should be a crackdown on the free flowing of information between people, i.e. censorship. It is no surprise the NYT would publish such a reactionary notion, considering they have been one of the most vocal supporters of internet censorship under the guise of combating “fake news” and “Russian meddling.”

    What occurred in New Zealand is an expression of the rise of the far right internationally. These fascist and fascistic forces are being cultivated by the capitalist class as a fearful response to the growth of the class struggle. Fascism is capitalism’s last line of defense against the revolutionary aspirations of the working class.

    1. My point is that censorship will not halt the rise of the far right, only the intransigent struggle of the working class against capitalism, for socialism. Indeed, censorship only empowers the far right, allowing them to posture as defenders of democratic rights.
