His books may be shit, but those takes are spot on. Americans are braindead propaganda victims.

He's right about the Republics and Democrats being two sides of the same coin, but I always imagined him to be more of a SocDem and not a pure socialist/commie.

I don't even like his writing, but those takes are absolutely correct.

Funny quotes especially since he's really beloved by run-of-the-mill libs. I read Slaughterhouse Five in high school and thought it was ok. I didn't realize at the time what he had been through in WWII. Makes me want to reread it as an adult.

I'm not much of a Vonnegut fan, also didn't care for Slaughterhouse Five, but Mother Night is an excellent novel.

Liberalism is the worst thing to happen to leftism since the Maoism and Stalinism. Before people associated us with authoritarian murderers now they think we're all degenerate faggots obsessed with 'cancelling' and 'pronouns'. We need a working class leftist movement that focuses on real class issues and not liberal 'woke' bullshit. Our current two party system is a complete fraud, no wonder why almost half of Americans don't even bother to vote.

What the fuck is it with you faggots and the term “takes?” Why does every single concept need some gay little relabeling now? Just use opinion or thoughts you goddamn mongoloids.

No because the wikipedians made sure to put the word "facetiously" in there, so you can be sure he didn't really mean any of that. :^)

Only insofar as that's true of all "working class movements", because actual workers are too busy working to be politicians.

For a person who has such a basic bitch (though not wrong) take on American politics, I doubt he read Marx or knows the intricacies of Socialism and Communism, nor has he read de Maistre to have a clearer picture on politics and know why the American definitions are all retarded.
