miguel cervantes: Von Mises and Hayek were collectively some of the strongest opponents to statism, of all form, not just Keynesianism, but the scientism of Wagner and Schmoller, comparing them to the Menendez Bros of the 20s, is really bad form, but typical of what the whitewasher of Year Zero would put out,
CK MacLeod: That's kinda confusing, since neither the Menendez Bros nor Leopold & Loeb were serial killers, and since the reference to the latter two appears in Crooked Timber, not the Nation, and since I don't think Robin is known for whitewashing Year Zero. I agree though at least that the L & L reference is at best strained, and somewhat beneath the level of impartiality or probity that he mostly sustains in the essay that actually does appear in the Nation. On the other hand, there may be statements that don't move me much that members of a Nation or Timber regular audience take as harsh indictments.
CK MacLeod: Another trailer: GRAVITY - getting better reviews that any movie released so far this year, I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUswKg7zQIo&feature=player_detailpage
miguel cervantes: A bit of mirroring, they actually created Hezbollah, out of elements of the Amal militia, with the Pasdaran.
miguel cervantes: So how does Riddick, go from Lord Marshall, to a planet, only slightly more inviting then Crematoria.
CK MacLeod: Guess you're going to have to watch the movie to find out. Looks like a quasi-remake of PITCH BLACK.

How dare you call Hayek profound?
Though Robin sometimes seems to intend to incriminate Hayek and others by association, as with the likes of Pinochet, perhaps as a way to emphasize his continued membership in good standing on the political Left, there is nothing in the core of his argument, as opposed to its trivial polemical decorations, that a Hayekian ought to find embarrassing. To the contrary, Robin attributes "profundity and daring" to Hayek and his marginal siblings. Thought through, Robin's arguments may present at least as many difficulties to a leftist, including one operating from Robin's own presumptions, as to a conservative or to a libertarian.→

Libertarianism as Core-Extreme Ideology of the Liberal Democratic State
Libertarianism is infant liberal-democracy, the arrested development of the polity fixated at the level of the pre-socialized or socialization-resistant individual - the pre-dialogical, self-sufficient, natural "I-atheist."→

A Global Force for Goods
What the commercials want to tell or remind us is this: The US Navy is the US global-historical role and purpose objectified, American ideology concretely, defined by a presumption that the two meanings of "for good" become the same meaning over time, are always approaching each other via that arc "bending toward justice" that the President likes to recall in his seemingly most heartfelt speeches.→
