History Education

"War is the mother of everything."

-Heraclitus, Greek philosopher (535-475BC)

300 Reviewed - from The Socialist Worker:

(do you think like this? If you do -your a slimey socialist).

[300 is] a rank cesspool of racism, sexism, homophobia and “freedom-loving” pro-war propaganda....

The film is riddled with historical inaccuracies, but it’s the ones that send clear right-wing messages that are the most alarming. The filmmakers go to great lengths to portray the Persians as evil, decadent, cruel and effeminate, unlike the manly men of Sparta......

The most dangerous aspect of 300 is its blatant call for the West to attack Iran. Iran, after all, used to be called Persia, and the film pulls no punches in exhorting the “free and rational” West to defend itself against the Persian hordes. Queen Gorgo even utters the tired cliché “Freedom is not free!”.....

It shouldn’t be surprising then that Miller’s next project is a comic book called Holy Terror, Batman! where the Caped Crusader goes up against Al-Qaeda in New York City.
