The Pinnacle of Unpersoning
In a time of unpersoning and a culture of cancelation it may serve us well to review (or study for the first time) a bit of history. There is one individual from the last century that is worth a closer look if you are interested in the concept of canceling somebody. Joseph Stalin took canceling to levels unheard of in our current cancel culture.
Martin Amis’ Koba the Dread is essential reading for anybody who wants a crash course about the reign of Joseph Stalin. Amis’ well balanced mix of anecdotes and detailed research provides the reader with an engaging history. Koba the Dread is an engaging and informative book for anyone who wants to see what one man with unchecked power is capable of when he wants to cancel a person, or several million people.
