    The USA passed an executive order to allow farmers and hunters to kill the Mexican gray wolves, the purpose is to provide more profits to the cow ranchers.

    Most peoples do not know the ecological benefits of those wolves, they prevent the spreading of diseases, they help vegetation to grow and to attract birds to create nests and reproduce, beaver can create river habitats and fish can lay eggs in those habitats.

    Animals are part of our ecological system, and natives Americans preserved and protected them

    Those black pigs eat bellotas ( Pata Negra ham )

    In Italy it is known as Proscuito, but it is too salty. It is made in the province of Parma

    There is not need to spend so much money, it can be made at home using salt and seasoning, it can be cured in the refirgerator

    A person can support higher wages, nationalisation, stronger welfare programmes, progressive taxation or a left-wing government while continuing to accept wage labour, money, commodity production and the state as permanent features of society.

    ———————————————————————–

    The welfare system was created in 1935 by white peoples and for white peoples, and passed by Roosevelt, and in 1964 black peoples were allowed to have welfare to obtain their votes, and later on Latinos or others minority were allowed to have welfare, and now the right populist leaders are blaming the latinos about having handouts which they call socialism, and Ronald Reagan called women the welfare queens. Who is financing those social democrats benefits ?

    That is the question of the millions dollars, the burden of taxation falls on the profits of the capitalist class, to understand that conception workers must read David Ricardo and Karl Marx on taxation, or the literatures of the socialist party because leftist do not have that conception either

    In the United States, the modern national welfare system was created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he signed the Social Security Act of 1935.

    President Franklin D. Roosevelt established federal welfare programs under the Social Security Act. This included Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) to help single mothers and widows, alongside aid for the elderly and blind.1960s

    President Lyndon B. Johnson expanded the safety net significantly. He signed legislation creating Medicare, Medicaid, and the permanent Food Stamp Program.1996

    President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. This law changed welfare into the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, adding work requirements.

    Chancellor Otto von Bismarck created the first modern state social insurance system in the 1880s to provide worker protections.

    Early forms of state-administered income support, child benefits, and food stockpiles via the public treasury (Bayt al-mal) were established under Caliph Umar

    These reformist reform are been used to divide the working class , it was not created by foreign workers

    Wild pigs are being killed, but people do not know the history.

    Domesticated pigs were brought by the Spanish to Florida.

    Then hunters brought Eurasian wild pigs, and they mixed with them and became wild pigs, and they reproduce in large quantities.

    Wild pigs have a better diet than farmed pigs, and now they have discovered that the meat has a better flavour than domesticated pigs. In Spain, domesticated pigs with forest diets are used to make Mountain ham (Jamón Serrano), and it is a very expensive ham
    .
    The Chinese are farming wild pigs, and they are buying and farming wild asian carps who were also killed because they reproduce in large quantities.

    They were reducing the prices of other types of fish because they are free; it is a fish like any other fish. They are called an invasive species by the fishing industry.

    Years back, I used to obtain free shrimps, crabs and lobsters from the rivers and the ocean until the fishing industry took over the rivers and the oceans

    They killed all the wild pigeons using commercial hunters, and those pigeons made large ecological contributions to the earth and the forest, such as organic fertiliser and the spreading of seeds to help forestation.

    Real definitions:

    The phrase “black magic” comes from a linguistic mix-up in medieval Europe that combined the Greek word for communicating with the dead with the Latin word for the colour black.

    However, the actual concept of harmful or forbidden magic dates back to the earliest human civilisations.Etymology (The Word Itself): Nigromancy:

    The term originally evolved from necromancy (communicating with the dead). In medieval Europe, people confused the Greek prefix necro- (death) with the Latin word niger (black), turning it into nigromancy.

    First Use: The exact phrase “black magic” in English first appeared in 1590 in Edmund Spenser’s epic poem The Faerie Queene.The Colour Meaning: The word “black” was used strictly to mean dark, evil, or hidden, long before modern racial categories existed.

    Medieval authorities used it to label an unauthorised spiritual practice as a dangerous heresy.

    Historical Origins (The Practice Itself: )Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt: The belief that people could use supernatural forces to cause harm (maleficium) or contact spirits for selfish reasons is recorded in ancient laws and texts from Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt.

    Forbidden Arts: Ancient and medieval societies separated acceptable public rituals from artes prohibitae (forbidden arts), which included curses, hexes, and summoning entities outside the approved religious order

    The word heresy meant: an independent thinker, or to look for the true meaning.

    The original meaning of the word heresy comes from the Ancient Greek word haíresis (αἵρεσις), which simply meant “choice,” “thing chosen,” or a “school of thought/philosophical sect.”Evolution of the Meaning:

    Neutral Beginnings: Originally, it was a non-judgmental term used by ancient philosophers and physicians.

    It described a person choosing a specific philosophical tradition—such as Platonism or Stoicism—or a specific religious group or faction (like the Pharisees or Sadducees in the New Testament).

    Religious Shift: As the early Christian church grew, it viewed its teachings as the sole, unified truth revealed by God.

    Adopting haíresis into Latin as hairesis, the church began using it negatively to describe a willful choice to break away from official dogma, turning the concept into a doctrine rejected as false.

    Apostasy has nothing to do with christ apostle, it was documented to be submutted to the vatican renouncing from the catholic church, the jehovah witness used it when somebody rejet their teaching saying that they against the teaching or jesus or the apostles, the thing is that the catholic church member approves the documents, therefore, most peoples that become protestants are catholic.

    A friend submitted more than 30 years ago and has not had it approved.

    Apostasy is the formal abandonment, renunciation, or disaffiliation from a religion by a person.

    An apostasy means completely leaving behind a faith or religious community.

    A person who chooses to leave is called an apostate.

    The word can also refer to someone turning away from a non-religious cause, political party, or organisation.

    Apostasy is a total rejection of an entire belief system, whereas heresy is questioning or disagreeing with only specific doctrines while staying in the group.

    The word comes from the Greek word apostasía, meaning a “defection” or “revolt”.

    Long ago, Greeks and writers like Josephus used the term for a political rebellion or military revolt against an empire or ruler.

    The term entered the English language in the 14th century with its religious meaning.

    The topic is most prominent in religions like Christianity and Islam.

    Historically viewed as a grave sin or rebellion against God, major historical churches penalised it (such as through excommunication).

    Modern Christian groups generally treat it as a personal choice without civil punishment.

    Islamic law traditionally views leaving the faith (riddah) as a serious religious offence, with varying degrees of censure or legal sanctions depending on the historical context or country.

    I think the piñata metaphor actually gets to the heart of the matter.

    When unemployment, low wages, inadequate housing or insecurity are blamed primarily on foreign workers, workers are encouraged to see other workers as the source of problems that arise within a much larger social and economic system.

    ——————————————————————–

    Someone travelled by car the whole USA from east to west, west to east, north to south and south to north, and saw that most poor people were white Americans; they were not Mexicans, and there were many ghost towns.

    All factories were closed, taken by the capitalists to other countries, and many were seating in the front porch waiting for the mailman to bring the unemployment or welfare check.

    Now the right-wing politicians are saying that the foreign workers are eating the Piñatas and that they have taken all the jobs, and many workers believe that lie.

    Statistics have shown that crime is not a monopoly of foreign workers, and some jails system are run by private corporations that make profits like any corporation, and some companies employ prisoners, giving them underpaid jobs, lower than the pay rate required by law. Similar to the jails for undocumented workers, they are run by private corporations; they need tenants.

    https://www.beacon.org/They-Take-Our-Jobs-P1419.aspx. This book debunks all those fallacies. She is the daughter of Noam Chomaksy, and she has a doctorate in Latin American studies.
    .
    https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/laii_events/41/. This book, written by Aviva Chomsky, demonstrates why emigration became illegal and when and why, and that the so-called melting pot is just a historical lie, and that one group entered through the east, but there was a large group that entered through the west, and they are not mentioned, which are the Chinese, and they also contributed to the development of capitalism

    All those fallacies and hysteria help to keep the workers divided and do not help to obtain class consciousness, and the capitalist class knows the reality.

    An American ambassador told the soviet union that they knew that Russian leaders were developing state capitalism, but many workers have been lied to by both sides, who were saying that the soviet union was socialist. or developing socialists, and the Leninists also propagated the same lies

    We can cite thousands of examples that will contribute to the disunity of the world working class.

    “So perhaps our response to the growth of the Right should not be: “How do we get these workers back to the Left?”
    It should be: “How do we get workers to stop looking to either side of capitalist politics and begin thinking in terms of their own class interests?”

    No “perhaps” about it! That’s what our response should be.

    ——————————————————–

    Most workers do not know that there is no difference rbetween ight and left; they think that both are different. As well, they do not know that the issue is not liberal versus conservative, or vice versa; the real issue is class. On Facebook, one leftist said that we are agents of capitalism because we do not support either one, and because we do not support leftist leaders and leftist governments and the so-called socialist countries

    Most left or right populists political candidates are xenophobic, racists, patriotic and warmongers, and blame the social, political and economic crisis on the foreign workers. and workers have been mentally influenced by those conceptions

    They are hitting the Piñata on the wrong side, the capitalist class is getting the candies, fruits and toys, they are obtaining all the benefits from the suffering and exploitation of the large population of human beings ( human lives is not an expression used by molecular-celular biology, it is a religious expression, we are placental mammals animals, the pro life do not want to accept it )

    In Chile both tendencies run a political campaign based on xenophobia, racism and patriotism, and the right wings populists won the election, in a country where they have had more leftwing governments than right wings governments, and several have call themselves socialists including Eduardo Frei before Salvador Allende, neither of them have been socialists

    There was a coalition of communists and independent communists who supported xenophobia and racism, and most of the Chileans are descendants of Mapuches ( Araucanos ) and other ethics groups, and the Mapuche punished them with null or blank votes or supporting the right wing populists, and the leftist government had sent the military troops to their territory, and those territories have large deposits of minerals and fossil fuels

    The leftwing populist blamed their lost on political maneuvers or election fraud, they lost because the leftist were doing the same job as the right-wingers, and they did not fulfill their false promises, and some of the laws passed by them are being used by the right wing populists and since they were minority in the congress both made alliances, the left communists which did not support anyone of them said that it was like a cow selecting the sides of a slaughter house

    Those communist candidates wanted the Haitians and Venezuela workers to leave the country according to them they are taking their jobs, and they are gangsters, but with and without them the unemployment rate is pretty high, and crime will continue, the reality is that the majority of Haitians are leaving the country they are also living in extreme poverty. Most Venezuelans are not members of the Tren de Aragua gangs, they are leaving Venezuela because they are poor workers, it is like Trump saying that all foreign workers are criminals, what is the difference ?

    https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-58550943. This article from BBC shows the real situation,
    therefore, left wingers are running the same political campaign as the right wingers, they are not a choice either

    Those so called communists do not know the logic of the capitalist mode of production, which is the one producing unemployment, and need cheap labor power to produce more profits, the correct conception should have been to unite all the members of the working class. They must be reading marvel comics books instead of socialism

    The ex president of Argentina ( who is considered a leftist Peronist ) expressed a public statement that “all them came on boats from Europe” , and it showed its historical ignorance,, because Argentinians are also descendants of natives Americans, and there is poverty among the descendants of Italians, Spaniard, German and Jews along with the Gauchos, mulatos, and natives Americans, the color of the skin is not an issue under the capitalist mode of production, it is just a fallacy. What is the difference between an anarcho capitalist known as Millei ?

    The language spoken is not pure Spanish ( or Castilian ) it is known as Rioplatense Spanish, ( like in Uruguay ) and the national music which is the Tango came from the African , the word tango come from an African expression known as nTangu or Tangana, they removed the congas and the bongos to introduce europeans instruments like the accordion. Workers do not know their own history

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_tango. The Milonga was influenced by Afro-cubans music. I collected music for several decades, and Cuba influenced in al the rhythms, and they have more than 140 varieties, it is like negating that American jazz and Rock and Roll is not African music which came from Blues

    ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz. Square dancing was influenced by the Mexican music and dancers, as humans we do not know who we are, and where we came from, and the capitalist class wants to close all the natural history museums and all libraries

    PS Adam Buick published on Facebook the names and percentage of all the natives peoples that exist in Latin America, and they are majority compared with the europeans, as well the composition of Mulatos ( mixed, come from Mules, Maria Teresa Babin wrote a book ) is also a big ethnic group. In Mexico several natives languages are spoken by a large population of natives Americans, the original name of those continents was Abya Ayala ( and Turtle island the north continent )

    It is a contradiction because most workers do not know that the state is financed with surplus value and the burden of taxation falls on the profits of the capitalist class, some sectors of the working class believe that they are the one paying for welfare, and only foreign workers use it, and that they paying the cost of wars to defend their homeland, both statements are completely wrong because the capitalist class is the one that want to cut benefits to make more profits and they are the ones paying for wars. This is part of the class consciousness or the lack of class consciousness

    Most peoples around the planet want peace and a better life for them and their children, Americans are the ones who want more state cut, based on the so called big government ( a concept spread by Ronald Reagan ) and more guns to defend the so called homeland, and Europe governments are cutting social democratic benefits to produce and buy more guns

    Let’s write a hypothesis.

    Can you imagine the world’s working class reading this dangerous collection of books? The capitalist class might last less than a cockroach inside a chicken coop; that is the reason why many governments in the past prohibited the reading of this time bomb, and the collection was smaller; we only had pamphlets loosely.

    For centuries, we have been bombarded with bourgeois and religious crap through the educational system, televisions, radio, magazines, churches, pastors, priests and teachers, our parents, and now through the internet, with AI, you do not know what is true and what is false.

    When I read Engels for the first time time I said to myself, what was I missing all these years? I was discovering a new world of thoughts; probably they went through the same discovery. He was more popular because he was easier to understand. The book was given to me by a man who was not an intellectual, and he had more class consciousness than me.

    Our only problem was that we took the wrong road ( the 57 varieties of Lenin soup), but some members of the socialist party took the correct road, like they are saying in the computer world: A clean installation in their mental computer; therefore, we need a mental revolution; the objective conditions have already been
    established

    I would say that the capitalist class generally shows a much stronger awareness of its material interests than the working class does of its own, although I wouldn’t describe it as “infinitely” more class conscious.

    Capitalists do not always act as one conscious and united class. They compete with one another, disagree politically and pursue conflicting interests. But when property, profits and the continuation of capitalist social relations are concerned, there are powerful institutions and organisations devoted to defending those interests.

    The interesting question for me is why workers, despite sharing a common dependence on wages, so often understand their problems individually or through nationalism, political parties and competing identities rather than through their common class position.

    That is precisely why the question of how class consciousness develops is so important.

    —————————————————————————-

    What is the main objective of the so-called national liberation movements or wars? To eliminate one capitalist class that is controlling another capitalist class. One capitalist class want to have freedom of movement and their own market; the case of the vietcong is the best example. There is no unity among the world capitalist class; it might be a global class, but they have their own internal interests too.

    BRICS has been formed by a group of capitalists looking for their own market, their own currency, versus the G7 who is also looking for its own market and better profits and better prices to compete; some members of the European Union have joined or are collaborating with Mercosur, which is a cartel formed by capitalists, and the UK is one of them; the US is changing its stance regarding the Malvinas Islands

    There are interclass conflicts among the members of the European capitalist class; there are interclass conflicts within the members of the Latin American capitalists. At present, one sector is looking for support from the USA capitalists, but as soon as they establish their own economic tents, they will want to have freedom of operations.

    Some of them are rejecting the so-called Chinese communists, but they are having commodity trade agreements with China and taking loans from the Chinese or engaging in monetary swaps with the Chinese. They are fighting drug trafficking, but they are being financed by some cartels; they always compete among each other; they do not have friends; they have temporary alliances.

    They are like gangsters defending their own family, but they are gangsters.

    Material World – Gangsterism rules OK
