Has anyone read this book? What did you think of it. A lot of commies got butthurt about it, but that was somewhat the point. How does it hold up as a critical philosophical work?

>"class based"
>new left
>reading comprehension
I do think that putting Sartre and Foucault in with the new left is tenuous at best, however.
Asher Morgan
I did and it didn't surprise me one bit. Your classical Scruton.
Cooper Peterson
What did you hate about the book?
Luis Gomez
wahhh somebody disagrees with my fragile worldview so they're bad!!!! If you have a problem with Scruton's style or line of argument then please enlighten us.

His insufferable moralism, hypocrisy and taking what his opponents said of context to twist them how he pleases. He's a hack.
Ryan Thomas
>moralism
he pointed out the hypocrisy of far lefties who ferociously criticize the West and then go and suck the dick of the USSR/Maoist China, like Hobsbawm, Althusser, Sartre, and Lukacs.
> and taking what his opponents said of context to twist them how he pleases.
Most of the criticism he gives is fairly straightforward, especially when it comes to obscurantist use of language by Althusser and Habermas.
Asher Mitchell
So you are basically agreeing with that user but repacking what he said in nicer sounding terms?
Bentley Gomez
no that's what you're doing right now
Henry Jones
No ... that isn't?
William Torres
T. Lefty loser rebelling against God.
Christopher Reyes
No, not really. Thoughts about God don't occupy my mind. I'm certainly not a militant atheist.
Julian Reed
You are the proponent of an ideology that is a rebellion against God, whether you are concioiss of it or lot. Leftism is heaven on earth by human means.
Samuel Bell
Conciouss of it or not *
Noah Bell
I'm a 4th generation Marxist. It's family tradition, not a rebellion.
Sebastian Young
i won't touch anything scruton writes even though i agree with him on some things. the man is an actual shill.
Robert Perry
The ideology itself is still a rebellion against God.
Isaac Morris
>the man is an actual shill.
