Talk:William S. Lind

Favouring monarchies!?

Should there be any mention of him favouring monarchies for the west? Purpleslog 21:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC) ...or suggesting that US Generals should do a coup against the US gov? Purpleslog 23:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Chickenhawk argument?

This comment seems a little suspicious and a bit out of place:

"Like most of the Bush administration, he has no real military experience, and has never served in the US Armed Forces."

First of all, what does the Bush administration have to do with Lind? Is he a member of the Bush administration? Secondly, it is not relevant to the section of the article I found it in. Finally, this sounds like a classical chickenhawk argument. Yes he never stuck his hand in a pile of goo that was a moment ago, his friend's face but the military seems to take his word. He does give lectures for Israeli military academies after all, and those people don't screw around when it comes to their national defense.72.195.158.95 18:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Mike Logos

Yeah, Lind is not part of the Bush administration. Purpleslog 13:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

As a matter of fact anyone who has read Lind's articles would know that he thinks that Bush (along with most politicians in general) is a wanker. Why else would he consider himself a monarchist?

Monarchies? Coup?

I have not heard of this, but I'm not all that knowledgeable on Lind. If you have sources to back this up, you should add that information to the article and in greater detail.72.195.158.95 18:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Mike Logos

I was too lazy to look up the links when I first mentioned it (my bad).

Here is the Monarchy Link --> http://www.d-n-i.net/lind/lind_8_01_06.htm

"Of course, like all real conservatives, I am a monarchist."

Here is the Coup Link --> http://www.d-n-i.net/lind/lind_8_10_06.htm

"Let us hope that, unlike von Paulus, our commanders know when to get out, regardless of orders from a leader who will not recognize reality."

The Coup thing is kind of vague, just snuck at the end of an article. I read it over and over. I think he is calling for the General to do just do their own thing. I whish Lind had wrote more precisely in one direction or the other. Purpleslog 13:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I think evaluating Lind's writing might be a violation of Wikipedia guidelines on the use of Primary sources here: Wikipedia:No original research, another source on Lind's political beliefs should be found. KAM 14:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't looking to evaluate Lind's writings (pro or con) so much as just note some beliefs as part of his profile. I am keeping this in talk until this is sorted out. Purpleslog 23:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Here is a a criticism by Thomas E. Ricks [[1]] KAM 19:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

The Southern Poverty Law Center has some criticism as well KAM 03:04, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Monarchist, not communist

'He is a self-proclaimed Communist and particularly admires Stalin.[5][6]'

He is a self-proclaimed monarchist, and particularly admires Wilhelm.

TMDrew policing this page

User:TMDrew I request comment from you as to why you reverted my edits found in this previous version: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_S._Lind&action=edit&oldid=637849691&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro

As you can see I clearly referenced all my changes, added bibliographic information to other users references, and removed content that had failed verification. Seeing as I only ever quoted the subject verbatim I feel your reversion was unfair, and in fact ideologically driven on your part (actively denying/censoring the truth) rather than on my part (as I used appropriate references quoting Lind in his own words).

Please comment below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.86.130 (talk) 03:42, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

User:TMDrew Please stop edit warring with me. If you're going to make reversions, cite actual reasons after checking the references I've added (they're all legitimate and substantially relevant to the topic). I've now contacted you on your talk page, in my edit/reversion summaries, and on the talk page of this article. My edits are in good faith (like I said, check the references) and if your persist in warring I'll have to report you as per wikipedia's policy. Consider this notification of that fact.

That's hilarious. Lind has a Master's in history from Princeton, and you put in the lead that he is a non-academic. You use the page to advocate for the idea that Cultural Marxism is an invention by the right, and turn the article into a hatchet job. No way will I ever let this stand. And I doubt that the Wikipedia admins will be all that sympathetic with a single-purpose IP address.--TMD Talk Page. 16:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh yes, you're quite right, I didn't notice that (as I was thinking in terms of academia in terms of a political qualifications. I'll make the necessary corrections now. Feel free to mention anything else you feel is a problem with my edits. Thank you for responding. --60.241.86.130 (talk) 01:18, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
