Reform and/or Revolution

There is a divide between reformers who support and fight for various single issue causes and revolutionaries who want to change the political order of the entire world including all the singular issues that various reformists support. Real revolutionaries want to replace the capitalist imperialist world order with one that has a planned economy that provides for all in a socialist society. Chief among the reform issues for the last decade has been the environment and global warming due to… Continue

Theory of Manufactured Deficits

In order to manufacture a deficit, everything must become a controlled substance. This fact has emerged as a result of the invention and use of a universal commodity; money that acts as a surrogate for the desired item that can be traded directly. Today, if one does not have this universal commodity, they cannot trade for a real commodity, unless in the rare circumstance, they can arrange a direct barter. Otherwise, they must hunt for “free commodities” in the wild. This fact of a controlled… Continue

The 2010 Winter Olympics

There are many problems with the Olympics which will be detailed over the following days. First of all, it is not about the people at all, but a three week fling for the world's influential and wealthy at great cost to the people. Round after round of Olympics has seen the ugly head of racism raise its head targeting the athletes who do not fit the desired profile as winners. Second, the "problem" of intersex blurs the picture of who is male, who's female and what of those who don't fit in… Continue

Internationalism versus Nationalism: The Overview of Fictitious Border Disputes

We live in a world divided by countries, states, provinces, counties, protectorates, colonies and other man-made and artificial divisions. The divisions by region recapitulates the idea of dividing labor from labor value to create abstracted labor value, which attempts to separate use value from the producer. This land and oceanic division has grown as a result of competition and disputes throughout history, whether derived from conquest, royal decree, bourgeois takeover, legal definition or… Continue

Commentary on David Suzxuki's Economic Position

What follows are sections of a piece written by David Suzuki with Faisal Moola concerning the economy which is good for the most part, but needs to consider other realities as well, such as the rule of monopoly imperialist capitalism in this decadent decay stage of its death agony. The limit that capitalism can attain is the whole of the planet and all of the resources and then there is no more room for expansion as is so necessary in the capitalist mode of surplus value production, the end of… Continue

Michael Jackson; Symbol of Dividing the Proletariat

I have been a fan of Michael Jackson for decades and have watched this super star of musical and dance entertainment rise to the heights and then cast down due to hear-say charges and xenophobia. On June 25th, 2009, Michael Jackson was found dead in his home just hours before the King of Pop was to perform in a concert in Los Angles under circumstances that many see as suspicious. The media loudly proclaimed death as a result of an overdose of prescription painkillers. Some people speculate… Continue

Dangerous myths: Reward after death

One of the most controversial ideas is the concept of anything after death, whether there is some kind of life or consciousness, heavenly or hellish states, immediate or delayed reincarnation or transmigration, or just plain nothingness and oblivion and the idea of reward and punishment. There are a lot of ideas out there, many of them ancient and there are some new ideas too, but none of them have much by way of verifiable scientific proof. In the modern era, scientific proof that is… Continue

The Chains of Necessity

Class division has pitted the exploiter against the producer. The method of binding has been through our own biology that is tied to nature. The fetters that bind the toiling masses are stronger than anything made of iron or concrete, but are also enforced using iron and concrete where seen necessary through a standing army and police state. They are the fetters of necessity used to keep people in a position of exploitation. These fetters are the needs for water, food, shelter, air, rest and… Continue

Historia del futuro

“Condenan los que no pueden aprender de historia para repetirla.”



Los acontecimientos que revelan en todo el mundo son evocadores del 1930' s que consideró la depresión más grande del mundo hasta el presente (2008-09) y la subida de estados fascistas. La hiperinflación y el paro elevado llevaron al desarrollo del fascismo en Italia y España y a la subida de megalomanía genocida del nazismo y de Hitler en Alemania.



Las noticias recientes que salen de Europa demuestran una… Continue

Profiling the Poor as Terrorists

Despite the $900 million spent on Olympic security, the RCMP thinks that this is inadequate. They mention that "criminals" are planning protests to disrupt and terrorize the 2010 Vancouver-Whistler Winter Olympics. They claim a ten minute search on the internet has revealed a host of planned criminal attacks being organized against the games. So they justify cordoned "free speech zones", censorship, suspension of human rights, 900 cameras, seven thousand police and 5 thousand private security… Continue

History of the Future

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."



GEORGE SANTAYANA:



Events unfolding around the world are reminiscent of the 1930's that saw the greatest world depression until the present (2008-09) and the rise of fascist states. The hyperinflation and high unemployment led to the development of Fascism in Italy and Spain and the rise of Nazism and Hitler’s genocidal megalomania in Germany.



Recent news coming out of Europe shows a drift… Continue

The Love of Money

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10



As a society, we are money obsessed and yet money is just a medium of exchange; as Marx defined, the universal commodity. From the top on down to the homeless on the street, we worship the fetish that money has become, what it can do for us and how it runs and ruins lives at all levels. Money is the latter… Continue

Facts about Warmongers

War is the most profitable industry on the planet. Many business and military people have known this for a long time and have profited tremendously. War is also the most polluting industry as well, with a good example being the Kuwait oil fires of 1991. War keeps the people in check by deflecting the anger accumulating against home grown swindlers and profiteers and redirects it to other autonomous regions.



International bourgeois interests divide the world into regions and limit… Continue

Re, the question of peace and violence

I am all for peace. I fact it is a major desire for almost all of us. The trouble is, is that we are plagued world wide by a host of competing states that are armed and using us to battle it out. An armed state has a military and a standing police state that is not peaceful by any means. The news is flooded with their actions daily. What they allow for themselves, they do not allow for the people that they draw their life from like some great vampire. If you want to know more, I strongly… Continue

Anonymous by force and threat of death

The bourgeoisie wants to be discrete, furtive and covert. They hide themselves away unlike the newly rich who love to flaunt it much to the chagrin of the “old money”. The bourgeoisie do not like exposure and will do anything to avoid it. They hide away in fortified locations when they meet to do their dirty work, protected by police, sophisticated security systems and "prisons" designed to keep you and me out. They like to be invisible. Anyone who seeks to pry open the doors and expose them… Continue

The Ancient Fight

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, (arcaz {Greek}, governments) against powers (exousiaz {Greek}, authorities), against the rulers (cosmocratoraz {Greek}, world rulers) of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (places of authority) Ephesians 6:12; Luke 1:50 - 53; James 5:1- 6; Matthew 23:12; Luke 14:11; Psalm 18:27



The above selection from the Bible is an answer to the sectarian divisions that were rife in the… Continue

Capitalism As It Is (Introduction)

There are many myths about capitalism. Some see capitalism as the greatest economic system ever conceived, while others see at as the anarchy of the marketplace and a huge burden on nature. Some argue that communism is not conducive to creating peace, but it is capitalism that profits from war. This work is written to clarify what these myths are and what the reality of capitalism is; thus the title; Capitalism as it is. Capitalism is an evolved invention of the bourgeoisie and bankers that… Continue

Poverty as the Most Effective Means of Censorship

Poverty has been and is the most effective means of censorship. In a society where every conceivable relationship is governed by money, the lack thereof means exclusion from that relationship or transaction. This can be anything the ability to say something and be heard to acquiring enough food and/or water to survive. It also controls who can influence politics by various means like lobbying.



Money, that abstracted labour value, makes everything a controlled substance, even if that… Continue
