The Socialist Party: Freud and Marx did they mix? Some leftists in Latin America think that both were advocating for a new, better world based on justice, which is not true ; only Marx advocated for a new society. Marx did not advocate for moral justice; he advocated for a new society
Freud and Marxism Part 1
Freud and Marxism part 2
I used the expression anti-Marxist because several of his followers were ‘Marxist’, and now they have raised negative opinions about Marx and ‘Marxism ‘, and several of them are not so much involved in the psychoanalytic conception; Lacan himself never read Sigmund Freud, and he never read Marx either. I know people who were Castroists, and now they are Lacanian.
This is the opinion of a Trotskyist group about him ( I have more from other groups, but some of them are in Spanish, and he has influenced several intellectuals in Latin America; this is a movement for intellectuals only ). Some of his followers do not know anything about psychology and medicine
The World Socialist Web Site (WSWS), an online international publication of the Trotskyist movement, approaches the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan from a perspective of strict Marxist materialist dialectics.
The WSWS views Lacan and the broader post-structuralist movement as philosophically anti-materialist and politically counter-revolutionary. Their critique focuses on several core areas:
1. The Rejection of Objective Reality and Materialism
The WSWS categorises Lacanian psychoanalysis alongside post-structuralism and postmodernism, arguing that these frameworks reject objective reality and historical materialism. In their review of Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont’s Intellectual Impostures, the World Socialist Web Site argues that Lacan and other French theorists substituted rigorous, scientific investigation of society with absolute relativism, linguistic idealism, and the misuse of mathematical concepts.
2. Critique of the “Pseudo-Left” and Slavoj Žižek
Much of the WSWS’s direct criticism of Lacanian thought comes through its extensive polemics against the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. The WSWS designates Žižek as an “intellectual charlatan masquerading as ‘left'” and details how his reliance on Lacanian concepts serves to obfuscate class struggle. According to the WSWS, mixing Lacan with Marxism replaces concrete economic analysis and the revolutionary agency of the working class with irrationalism and bourgeois concepts of desire.
3. Rejection of Revolutionary Agency
From a political standpoint, the WSWS notes that Lacan himself rejected the prospect of communist revolution. The site argues that the rise of Lacanianism and postmodern thought in France was driven by a middle-class intelligentsia disillusioned by the failures of Stalinism and the general strike of May 1968. Instead of seeking to overthrow capitalism, Lacanian-influenced philosophy is seen as retreating into “micro-politics,” single-issue resistance, and an acceptance of structural alienation as an unchangeable facet of the human condition.
A great all-round article by Sam Fluss.

Different to the false propaganda made by some right-wingers, anarchists and capitalists that he was a failure as a father and that he was a failure when he was a student. They do not mention that Marx was expelled from Germany and was exiled to other countries, and that most of them rejected him; finally, he was accepted in England.
Can not be called education; they are the centre of indoctrination for the future wage slaves and zombies and defenders of the capitalist system; there is no critical questioning.
In the USA, the Department of Education is governed by an expert on wrestling and boxing; she does not know the meaning of the word pedagogy, and she does not read any books. When I was young, teachers had personal libraries, and schools had a big library.
She is a millionaire who wants to run schools like a private corporation to make profits, and a curriculum to indoctrinate zombies and sheep.
They eliminated natural sciences, replaced them with witchcraft; natural history has been eliminated, real-world history has been eliminated, humanities are not part of the curriculum, evolution has been replaced by creationism, nationalism and patriotism are like mental diseases, ready to join the armed forces, and a bunch of external zombies and parents support that program.
When I was young, even catholic schools had a much better curriculum, and the directors were professional teachers; the curriculum motivated students to be critical thinkers, included natural sciences ( biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, world history, arts, philosophy, dictation, calligraphy, agriculture, and verbal examination was more important than written examination; teachers were part of our family, loved by the students
Universities had autonomy; some universities, the department of economics, had a class on political economy, and churches were not allowed inside the school campus; now they have pastors and fanatics shouting in every corner, selling mental poisons, the blind leading the blind, and they have mass on the campus. Catholic universities did not have classes on theology or apologetics.cs
Now, they hate teachers; they hate schools; they carry guns to school. The only gun that we carried was a textbook, and we had to read every day. In our time, students do not read anything; they spend all their time attached to smartphones, playing war games, and worshipping crazy movie artists. Because cinematography has been completely degenerated,
it is very hard for them to obtain class consciousness, and their parents are in the same social conditions

Millions of pigeons are dying
Pigeons are very important for our ecological system; they produce fertiliser and spread seeds for vegetation
We do not need fertiliser from petroleum or chemicals. Indians used what is known as Guano
They are lovely birds. I have a pigeon loft, and they produce a lovely sound in the morning
In Spain, they have very old Palomares, and in Colombia they are protected animals
It is a religious term used to indicate that an embryo or a fetus is a ‘human being”. They believe that humans were created by a supernatural ‘being” who created ” human beings”
It has been scientifically proven that creationism and theology ( religious apologetics) are false conceptions.
The book of Genesis, which was not written by a ghost named Moses, is one of the most anti-scientific books written by humans or scribes.
In Egypt, they have not found any evidence of Moses, and they used to keep records of everything
At school, we spent two years trying intellectually to prove the existence of phantoms and ghosts and the lake of fires.
They love fetuses, but they want children to be killed, and they do not care that more than 66,000 children are killed every day by capitalism.
They do not care that millions of mothers are dying due to lack of medical services or capitalist war.s
They carry a bible under their axilla like a deodorant.
The Christian nationalists are saying that the genocide in Gaza is the killing of devils.
If animals were religious, they would call many humans devils.
They love to carry guns and collect guns; pastors are carrying pistols as they did during the time of the Wild West.
I was using the term human being as a synonym for the animal Homo sapiens (or what is sometimes referred to as Homo sapiens sapiens in older texts).
The point I was making about the development of emotional attachment refers to all mammals not just placental mammals, so marsupial and monotremata. That’s why it’s called Mammalian Attachment.

That is totally correct. A friend of mine, who is an anthropologist, says that we provide ‘human behaviours” to animals. I have been attached to animals since I was a child, and we were surrounded by different types of animals. My grandmother had a big backyard, and it was like a zoo, surrounded by a big garden, and we had fish ponds.
I breed birds (I have a garden), and when they are mature, I let them fly. Sometimes they come back because they are attached to my place, and they know that they have shelter, food and water;r, some of them know me, and they trust me, and they eat from my hands.
My son has two cats, and they know when he is arriving at the front door, and when he is not in the house, they get desperate. He has some kind of attraction to animals, and stray cats let him touch them. Some people hate the sound of the birds, but I love their sounds and singing; those are people who have lived a bitter life
I just purchased a reprinted version of a book that I had since 1969, and the new version on paper is much better than the old one that I have, with better paper, a better cover, and better fonts

The old printing shop and newspapers the ink had toxic material, and the characters were made out of lead
The camel is a very old species that existed for millions of years in North America, and during the divisions of
continents, it emigrated to other places on Earth, and now they are killing millions of camels for commercial use.Camels actually originated and evolved in North America over 40 million years ago, long before they appeared in Asia, Africa, or South America.
The camel family (Camelidae) first appeared in North America around 40 to 44 million years ago as tiny, rabbit-sized or sheep-sized mammals. Diversity:
Over millions of years, they grew larger and diversified into more than 20 different species across the continent, including gazelle-like runners (Stenomylus) and towering giants (Titanotylopus).
Around 6 to 8 million years ago, some camel ancestors crossed the Bering Land Bridge into Asia (evolving into modern camels like the Bactrian and dromedary). Millions of years later, others migrated south into South America, becoming llamas and alpacas.
.
The last true North American camel genus, Camelops, roamed the western parts of the continent. They completely died out roughly 13,000 years ago due to severe climate shifts, droughts, and human hunting
Some archaeologists have indicated that the domesticated camel did not exist in Canaan and Israel; they are saying that it is only a biblical fiction.
I would argue that rather than the traditional neutral stance on Human Nature, that we can learn to be socialists, I would argue that all of the evidence is that practically all human beings are actually a kind of naturally occuring proto socialist.

You are using the concept of human beings, and that term is not scientifically correct; we are living entities, we are placental mammals, or living beings; human life is a religious concept. That has been one of the contradictions within the so-called pro-life movement, which thinks that an embryo or a fetus is a human being, and they confuse cellular impulses with heartbeats.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc0MtTvLJfc&t=525s. This video has subtitles in English. This biologist explains the difference between human life and life; he explains that we are placental mammals. Some doctors in that room did not know the difference
Many of the spgb articles use the expression communists and the Socialist Party knows that they are not communists. I did not say it all the time; I said it sometimes, but we can also give an explanation.
I had a teacher who used the expression inferior animals, but he also explained that we are not inferior; sometimes we must be flexible.
Doctors cannot use sophisticated terms, or Latin or Greek words, with their patients; they must use traditional terms, and sometimes they are wrong too. Senos (Spanish plural word for women’s breasts ); in Latin, it means hollow or cavity. Pathology means the study of human suffering or pain, but the correct definition is the study of diseases.
My grandfather used to tell me: You can not look for the legs of a cat; you will never find them, but some people will see five legs, or they are too picky
Some famous biologists and scientists are atheists, but they support capitalism or bourgeois liberalism, and the critique of religion is the critique of the economic system and vice versa, and they support the killing of animals that is done by this economic system, but peasants who are not atheists or intellectuals love their animals and the earth.
I breed birds, and they know me, and they eat from my hands, and sometimes I let them fly away, and some of them came back. We had ducks, and they followed me when I was walking in the backyard.
I am a self-educated agronomist because I love plants and I love nature, and I use binoculars to watch wild birds. Our cats know when we are coming home, and they can smell us from a long time away.
My son loves all his pets, and they love him. When he is not at home, they get desperate, and they wait for him at the front door
I am just using traditional biological terms; inferior animals are the invertebrates, but they are not inferior either; it is just a denomination, and some humans believe that they are superior, and white people believe that they are superior to black men, or brown ( another traditional term), and we come from the same groups of animals, or living entities; even more, the concept of human life is incorrect; it is just a religious concept. Sometimes we must use traditional concepts.
Some historians, or anthropologists like Engels, used the expression barbarism, and it is just a denomination used in certain historical period; and Francis Jennings rejected that denomination. Some historians used the expression Western or Eastern civilisation, and there is only one civilisation; and it was rejected by Francis Jennings. Some biologists have rejected the conception of Ernest Hackeal because they think that we did not come from animals ( traditional term), and now they are accepting his conception.
Sometimes I use the traditional term of jews, but I know that being Jewish is not a race, a nation, or a nationality, and there is no such thing as Jewish blood or an extra chromosome; we have the same amount of genes and the same amount of chromosomes, and the nation and nationality are an invention of the ruling class; we can use a broom and remove all the flags and nations from the face of the earth; they are just imaginary lines; I have not seen them from any aeroplane. We can talk about the catholic, Islamic, and Buddhist blood too, and it is also a wrong conception.
Some human beings ( traditional term ) believe that their nationality is the best one, and that they have a particular culture that is better than the others, and for them everything is a culture, and they believe that to have culture you need an academic education
The problem is that most people believe that they came from another world; we came from inferior animals. Some animals have more natural abilities than humans; some animals can survive without their mother, and human beings need their mother for several years; some animals know how to feed themselves, and we depend on our parents for several years; some of them resist cold weather, and they have their own natural protection. If god created us as they believe, why are we so imperfect? Some animals have a better circulatory and respiratory system than human beings. When we had four legs, we were able to run faster
