  2. I am sorry to hear of Brian Doherty’s passing. The name sounded familiar and I found his book “Radicals for Capitalism” on my bookshelf.

  7. Rest in peace to Doherty, who deserved and deserves better than to have his memorial thread used to spooge the usual artificial ztupidity hallucinations about “tyrant” Trump and hating America from the Ayatollah’s Zombie spambot. Despite Doherty’s own anti-Trump shortcomings, he produced a great body of literary work, and there are lots of other unrelated discussions for the Antichrist Zoophile spambot to disgrace here in its programmed mission to inspire more assassination attempts against Liberator Trump.

  8. Also, can we please keep links in memorial threads to being about the person who passed away or something to do with them? Even if it’s from woke pedo wackypedia, but please limit the unrelated fake news spam to all the other posts at least?
