A socialist coup d'etat without, as far as I know, a single murder? Come on, that is a great world historical achievement, at least it would have been!
Osama Barka is a "Povertarian." I mean by it that he makes a fetish of "the poor." The poor are others, a collective group who might or might not exist, but who are reified by missionary work, by those who create a class of people who fit the style if not the content. I mean,as an example, drug-addicts. When they die, they do so often due to povertarianism: they are killed by ideology. Osama is one such ideologue, and the bodies will pile up till we have to burn them, I would guess. So long as the West hangs onto this Romantic sentimentality of loving the poor," this creepy Social gospel perversion of Christianity, there will be the dead at their hands.
