I forgot; we did not mention the sect of the Essenes. Some historians have said that they had their own army, and others have said that John the Baptist and Jesus were members of that Jewish sect

I knew this man; he was a factory worker. He was a hillbilly; he had the accent of a hillbilly, the place where he grew up was known as Hell for certain. He said that they were free until they built a road and the police were allowed to enter his town.
He knew Karl Marx’s Capital better than any economist; he was a self-educated philosopher. We travelled to several places, and he was like a walking library.
He had class consciousness, and he knew that the real world power is the working class; and the real political power, he never followed any leader. He believed that workers should take the political power to transform society.
He was a military hero, and he returned his medals; he said that he was killing poor workers and peasants like him.
We were at a workers’ union meeting, and he said to everybody, ” Let’s close all factories and wait to see who the real leaders are, and everybody was making poops in their pants; they did not have the ball to make a general strike and go against their own exploiter
He was always saying that the members of the Sicilian Mafia were altar boys compared to the owners of the big corporation; it was a legalised mafia
He was ready for the future society
But the working class is not the same everywhere. I would say there is less class consciousness in places like Britain than there is in S. America and Africa, where the class struggle is more personal – as it was here in the days of the Chartists.
The poorest here in Britain are generally the most patriotic, reactionary, and punitive, and the most fawning and admiring of the bourgeoisie. Their communal sentiment is nationalism and pride in the military, macho, personality. The phenomenon of the autodidactic worker with his home library has mostly disappeared, and most people rely on the state for their education and on soundbite TV news programs and internet slop.—————————————————————–
The Chartists influenced the minds of the Caribbean workers, especially in Jamaica, Saint Thomas, and other islands where they speak English, and they took those ideas to other islands when the Puerto Rican sugar company was the main sugar producer, and they produced what is known as “Furfural “, and it was toxic.
The smoke from the sugar factories was toxic; it was called ‘Cachipa” or particles. It contaminated the atmosphere and produced lung diseases; most governments were controlled by that single corporation; it was a monopoly, and all the profits and capital owned by Paramount were made by those workers.
The Chartists were the ones who influenced the workers from the sugar plantations. Several workers’ union leaders were killed, and their slogan was: “Sugar, how bitter you are. ( Azúcar que amarga eres )
It was the slogan on their radio programs. It was bitter ( and sugar is sweet ) for them because they had to work many hours, and they received salaries of misery; they created cooperatives and their own grocery stores. Haitians lived in places known as “Bateyes”, and they were company towns; practically, they worked for free because they owed their salary to the grocery stores; they fed the workers to keep them alive; inside the plantation, their diet was water and sugar; they suffered diseases like diabetes and renal diseases ( CKDU ) or kidney failures
The writer who described that situation was killed; he wrote a novel titled Over, and the writer was Ramon Marrero Aristy. He was influenced by socialist ideas
https://ministeriodeeducacion.gob.do/docs/biblioteca-virtual/GwMA-over-ramon-marrero-aristypdf.pdfPuerto Rico also had a strong working-class movement, and they formed many cooperatives, and they worked in the sugar industry.
Government and politicians were scared of the workers, and several Leninist groups penetrated the workers’ unions; they became agitators, and several of them were killed, like Doctor Guido Gil; he asked workers to produce slowly as a new form of workers’ strikes ( El Paso de la tortuga ), the turtles strike.
https://diccionario.funglode.org/gil-diaz-guido/. He was not a corporate lawyer,
The world working class has a rich history,y but most workers at present are not aware of their own history; some workers, like in the USA, have their struggles based on electing leaders and fighting for leaders and fighting against each other, which does not provide class consciousness.
CDM – ‘Nobody was able to buy their class consciousness.’
Except, of course, the sons and daughters of the parasite class who have their class consciousness bought for them in ‘public’ schools.——————————————————————————-
I do not think you saw that process and the moment that it took place. Most sons and daughters of the ruling class in that moment and place did not attend public schools; they attended catholic schools, they attended La Salle Schools ( John Baptist de La Salle ) or Salesian Schools ( Saint Bosco’s schools), which had a better curriculum than public schools; other people attended the Episcopal schools. I am talking about people who over mature peoples, who worked in those professions.
I don’t alter other people’s translations or literary works. I was going to send it to Adam, and he can forward it to MIA, and they can do whatever they want.
My main objective is to increase the archive of Julius Martov in Spanish.
I have seen many errors in the articles and pamphlets published by the SPGB, and I do not make any changes or alterations.
I sent them to Adam, and he can do whatever he wants, and then I make the changes.If the MIA makes the proper changes, I will make my changes on WordPress.
We have sent several translations to them, and they want everything to be shown in the translations, and then I have made the corrections.
I just want to keep my sites as a blog of information.
I have translated for other groups, and I have sent them to them without making any alterations.
There are translations on World Socialism that were made by other groups, and they sent them to me, and I did not make any changes
Rapid Houthi advances in Yemen pose massive strategic risks for Saudi Arabia in the Gulf.
Published: September 16, 20261:48 pmm EDTAn advance by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which has included the targeting of Saudi cities and infrastructure, has quickly complicated a widening Middle East war.
Not only has it all but unravelled a 2022 truce putting a lid on Yemen’s civil war – in which the Iran-aligned Houthis were fighting a Saudi-led coalition – but the seizure of territory next to the Red Sea has further threatened Saudi energy exports. On Sept. 13, Saudi Arabia and other Arab Gulf nations were due to take part in crucial Omani-hosted talks with Iran in a bid to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But they were called off, seemingly over attacks by both the Houthis and Iraqi groups aligned with Tehran.
The real savages have signed an order to eliminate all the wild wolves. It is a real crime. Those wild animals are part of nature and part of the Earth’s ecology; that is the reason why the natives american protected them

Malcolm X’s Thoughts on Slavery and Civilisation
Malcolm X
“You can’t make a wise man a slave, you can’t make a warrior a slave. When you and I came here, or rather when we were brought here, we were brought here from a society that was highly civilised, our culture was at the highest level, and we were warriors—we knew no fear. How could they make us slaves?”As well, the civilisation of the Mayas and Incas was highly civilised
You do not have to “attend Harvard” to become a socialist. I have known peasants, barbers, carpenters, factory workers and tailors who were teachers of socialism. Nobody was able to buy their class consciousness.
The English translation has more than 55 mistakes. I double-checked it with a Grammarly subscription that I have, and it asked me to rearrange all the sentences. I did not do it; I respect other people’s work
It is like the Bible who has lost its original version when it was translated into different languages. And it has been interpolated 7500 times
The same case applies to Marx’s Capital, and the best version has been made in Spain by Siglo XXI and Fondo de Cultura Económica; they were done from the sources by people who knew German.
Rosa Luxemburg new compiled version was done by people who know German; now it is under copyright.
The Machine translation of the article in question is: Es socialismo nacional? and it is wrong.

These are good translations that have been triple-checked and polished
This is a free site like Mastodon and Blogger
The English version of the works of Marx and Engels ( 52 volumes ) is under copyright ( MIA had to remove them )
The English version of the works of Leon Trotsky is under copyright ( MIA had to remove them too )
The new complied version of the works of Rosa Luxemburg is under copyright
There is no copyright for the works of Vladimir Lenin in any language
Some publishers have the copyright of the works of Joseph Stalin in the English version
Most Spanish versions of the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemburg, and Mao are in the public domain, and several universities have them online, including UNAM, UBA and U of C
There is no copyright on the works of Julius Martov; all of them are in the public domain
https://www.marxists.org/admin/legal/corights.htmThey are a combination of software (WordPerfect, MS Word Professional) and personal translation. Machine translations are not accurate, and they are free; you must know the language in order to do the proper translation. Those are translations posted on the MIA, and they are in the public domain. There is a Spanish and French section of Jiluis Martov on the MIA website. I know the law of intellectual property

These are good translations
University textbooks for professional schools are becoming pretty expensive; they cost between 350 and 500 dollars. For one class, a student must spend around $700.00 on two new books; the solution is to buy a used book for 30% of the original price or to buy a digital book.
If you have the proper software, it can be printed by chapters and then turned into a spiral book ( or 3-hole binder). A student with limited financial resources would be forced to buy a used book ( probably an old edition ) or a digital book.
.
https://saylordotorg.github.io/text_the-legal-and-ethical-environment-of-business/This is a cheap solution for students attending professional schools; the textbooks are free if you find the one assigned by the teacher. It can be downloaded in PDF format, or it can be read online using a PC, Mac, laptop, tablet, or e-reader. It is preferable to use a tablet because the screen is larger.

Students are getting desperate with the cost of textbooks.
