This was the request: I asked for 2 or 3, knowing that you couldn't cite formative volumes.
I asked for the books that informed your political outlook.
Clearly, you still can't.
You clearly have a skewed idea of what politics is. Politics is made up of a lot more than just books about the KGB or someone's political philosophies. There is only one person you need to know when understanding modern day politics, and that is Machiavelli. People set goals to remain in power, and they do whatever they feel is needed to do so, no matter what that cost might be at other's expense. This is something I didn't understand at a younger age, and I let my family and environment in which I lived push me to label myself as a Republican. Yet as I grew to pay more attention to politics and the world around me, I began to realize and understand what Machiavellianism is, and that it wasn't the type of person I wanted to be. I think we as a people should live like Gandhi spoke, that we MUST look at ourselves and judge our being based on not how much we have, or what kind of status we have, but based on how we treat the most vulnerable people in our society.
What I intended to prove, and have done so, is that you have no background nor basis for understanding geopolitics.
The books you provided are merely vocational texts.
You can't even seem to understand the question that was asked.
I gave you three that really would help you a great deal.
Study of same, it seems, is out of the question for you.
Oh yeah sure I don't. State crime and crimes of globalization have NOTHING to do with politics right? Jesus you are dumb.
