What does /pol/ think about the late Christopher Hitchens? Was he based, a fedora-tipping libtard, or a mixture of both?
>>78947271
master rhetorician/polemicist with some very ill-considered, not very well thought out positions and beliefs.
>>78947271
Ironically, he's probably burning in hell right now.
His brother is better
>>78947271
He was a marxist that decided later on to go full retard and become a neocon.
He's video where he defend free speech is pretty good though.
>>78947271
He was blue-pilled on race but he didn't pull his punches even when talking about fellow lefties.
Marxist fedora but god tier debater and spoke his mind.
He was just ok in Star Wars
>>78947271
He was a hateful evil man and is only redeemed by the fact that his brother is pretty based.

>hitches
>any categorization
I don't think I ever managed to guess one of his views about something
Saying that he was libtard is like saying that square is round.
You have to evaluate everyone of his propositions individually, because they were mostly based on top down pragmatism

The fact that he was a marxist that decided to shill for Bush Jr and his illegal war?
The fucker was all over the place.

Nice, anon.

Worst Hitchens. All he ever did was walk around in a cloud of his own gas.
>>78948123
he was actually a ex-Marxist
>>78947271
He was a neocon. He was extremely clever and thought he was doing the right thing. He leaves behind a mixed legacy. On the good side he despised Henry Kissinger, George Galloway, the Clintons, and Mother Teresa he also provided proof. On the bad side he helped spread degeneracy by arguing effectively against Christianity, for feminism, and for deposing Saddam.
Enjoy the video.

Neocons aren't ex-Marxists, they are Marxists by other means.
he was a very honest journalist in his early life. Sold out during Bush era and became a bureaucratic neocon socialite
