  1. They tried running the economy on their junior partners' economic ideas for a few years after the revolution, but did not give up power to them. The conclusion the mullahs had was that communism did not work, so they turned control over to the segment of the Iranian merchant class who was not sufficiently connected to the ancien regime to have wanted to flee.

  14. an ethnonationalist, sure and there ought to be nothing seen as wrong with that a civic nationalist is in a bit of a different position it is absurd to be an ethnic nationalist as a member of a nation which was founded by several ethnicities and continued thereafter to add ethnicities and admixtures thereof.

  15. To borrow Rud's terms, Starship Troopers is a mostly British Right system, with just enough elements of the German Right to prevent it from creating the conditions that will lead to its own collapse. Personally, I think Islamofascism with some elements borrowed from libertarianism would be more stable.

  16. Pedantic quibble, 18th century England was well known to be a place in which the common man at least shrugged his shoulder at religion.

  17. Pedantic quibble, WRT radical Muslims being as corrupt as the ancien regime, the Taliban's main legitimizing trait has been being less corrupt than the alternatives since the overthrow of the Emir by the Soviets.

  18. I read that as Gangnam Style Rightism and just imagined Psy doing that dance on the edge of a pit coliseum full of degenerates being fed to giant snapping turtles.

  19. Islamofascism with a dash of free market economics and absolute freedom of speech and inquiry within limits strictly set by a bespoke Quranic juridical school, coupled with a generous people of the book carveout for hard core Orthodox and Evangelical Christians, in a reversal of the role the Dagestanis have within modern Russia.

  20. I like that. Turn back the clock before even Catholicism. Personally I think Islam is a better choice, because Islam has the momentum behind it.

  21. Islam has the momentum. Islam also has an excellent record when it comes to dealing with the left once in power.

  22. Pedantic quibble, the whole model of an empire that involved selling proud warrior nations that their pride was not broken in having a high king as well as a king started with the period between the English finally defeating the Scottish at Culloden and the Scottish proving they were batshit headfucked at Quebec.

  25. Pedantic quibble, if the wokies fuck over the West just a little bit more, there could totally be an Abrahamic axis.

  26. Mostly Islamofascism, but with special economic zones, free speech areas, and institutions allowing the unfettered pursuit of knowledge.

  27. Pedantic quibble, more the mid 13th century for the end of the Golden Age of Islam.

  28. I disagree. This is one of his better ones since pandemic. If he is outsourcing his writing to GPT and a Pinoy or Indian dude from Fiverr to concentrate on his young people's social network, he is beginning to find his stride with the balance of what needs to happen.

  29. Islamofascism with free speech areas and special economic zones would also work.

  30. Trump proved during his first term that he never stopped being a Ross Perot Reform Party guy. Trump has turned the Republican Party into the policy of the Ross Perot Reform Party and the methods of American anarchist thinker Murray Rothbard as articulated in his early 1990s essay Right Wing Populism.
