For decades, the story of Mao's rise was wrapped in myth. Historian Frank Dikötter argues the reality was far darker: a marginal movement, Soviet backing, civil war, and a regime built on political paranoia. Watch a new episode of @UncKnowledge with @P_M_Robinson on X:

Frank Dikötter is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution who has recently returned to the United States after living in Hong Kong since 2006. In this provocative conversation, Dikötter challenges the prevailing narrative about China's rise. Drawing from his latest book, "China After Mao: The Rise of a Superpower," Dikötter argues that the Chinese Communist Party has masterfully projected the image of a powerful, modern, and economically dominant nation—but says that image is largely a façade.

In this Oxford Union speech, Dr Kizza Besigye argues against the very approach the state is currently trying him for; trying to use firearms to overthrow the government. He argues that if the people’s post independence struggle is a struggle to regain citizenship, using guns to change government is not a fundamental change but a mere change of guards which simply takes power from one set of warlords to the next and that it portends even worse outcomes.

🚨🇪🇸 69 𝕏 MINUTES : ANARCHO-CAPITALIST PROFESSOR SAYS STATE IS A “PARASITE” THAT DESTROYS FAMILY, FAITH & FREEDOM Miguel Anxo Bastos argues real peace can only exist without a government, calling the state “an illegitimate monopoly of violence” that survives by keeping citizens weak and dependent. From inflation eroding savings, to state-run education replacing parents, to welfare systems supplanting churches and families - he says the state methodically eliminates every rival source of loyalty. "The state feeds you, educates you, cares for you… not out of kindness, but to own you from cradle to grave." Can society truly function - even thrive - without any government at all?

"What draws people to 🇨🇦 is freedom, but freedom also in the context of order... Part of the reason that we are Canada and not part of the United States is because we as a society looked at what was going on the United States... way back after the revolution... [and said] 'okay they are really preoccupied with freedom, and that is good, but they are also kind of subject to mob rule and the excesses that freedom can bring in its train.' [Canadians] wanted to carve out in North America a society that had a better balance between freedom and order." Brian Lee Crowley, MLI's managing director, speaking with the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation. Watch the full event at the link below 👇

NATO's Rutte: We are getting better. But one of the ways to deal with this is indeed to make maximum use of the transatlantic defense industrial base. That means companies from France and companies from Türkiye investing in the defense industrial base in the United States, but also the United States saying, "How can we co-produce with our partners in Europe?"

Florida offers freedom and opportunity. If you come here to escape the high tax, high regulatory states don’t try and turn this state into the state you fled from. Don’t New York Our Florida! Leave your leftist ideology and big spending ideas at the border.

[WATCH] With regards to the AbaThembu King we don’t support his stance on Isreal. We don’t support Israel as the ANC. What the king is doing is a betrayal of our solidarity with the Palestinian people. Doing arrogantly and blatantly like that is unbelievable, especially as somebody who comes from a struggle background. He was in exile and his father a stalwart of our liberation struggle, the fact that he can simply forget all of that and side with a state that kills people. If he went to Israel and Palestine we would understand. But to insult the cause of the Palestinians in Israel is a betrayal. #ANC114

Kano State empowers youth with wives, matrimonial beds, and some foodstuff. What Nigeria needs is a genuine federal system so that every region develops at their own pace. Our value systems, goals, and aspirations are not the same at all. The earlier Nigeria is restructured, the better for everyone.

Innovation comes when you create space for it. But the wisdom and intuition that goes into that innovation comes from being able to recognize patterns over a long period of time. It’s like going against a computer at chess. You iterate and adapt your moves until you find the right combination that solves the problem. It’s one of the reasons why LLCOOLJ is still on the top of his game.

A NEW ERA shows how #Bauhaus once promoted new ideas and equality, but faced resistance along the way. It's a reminder that social change often has to be fought for against existing structures. It's a great example of how we can learn from the past and keep the dialogue about progress going today. The series sheds light not only on artistic and architectural developments, but also on the struggle for gender equality and the challenges that women had to face in the art world at the time.
