Since archaeology has proven with solid evidence that the Exodus never took place and the Hebrews were never in Egypt as slaves,
Originally, they were polytheists and worshipped the Canaanite gods, and monotheism was imposed on them by the monotheistic priests; Yahweh was a god invented by the scribes of the Bible, written for the Hebrew tribes
Moses never existed and never wrote the Pentateuch, and Joshua never existed, and Jacob too; there is no evidence of Solomon, and the big kingdom of Israel never existed; it was a small kingdom,
Yavehov was defeated by all the pagans gods, proving that he was not a powerful god as mentioned in the Bible, and it is not a universal god; it is the same one as Allah and other pagans gods
The whole narrative about the Bible and the Old Testament falls apart, and the narrative of the promised land has been completely wiped out too,
If the Old Testament is fake, the narrative of Jesus, the gospel, the narrative of the apostles, and Revelation is also mythology, and Paul was just a liar.
More than 300 leaders have been killed in Colombia over a period of two years, and this new president wants to start another war with the drug cartels and the guerrillas
Is he an industrial engineer? Industrial engineering is based on Taylor’s commodity production. Only Mechanical, civil, and electrical are considered real engineering
Like Frederik Engels and Williams Morris. I think the article is saying that she supports certain aspects of the working class and that she was philanthropic, but it does not say that she was a member of the working class. This article was published by a left-wing group
WordPress, Partido Socialista Mundial, Bluesky, Mastodon, and X (Twitter) blogger and in Portuguese too
¿Qué es el socialismo científico ?
This is a very well-written article
And I avoid anything that looks like it’s print-on-demand. I do research first on the publisher. I’m furious when I end up with a shoddy excuse for a book.
I’ve had some stick from some comrades for using Amazon to publish my book series. That’s print on demand. To my mind, it’s a bit like the debate in the Party a few years ago about investing funds.
The thing is, though Amazon has a bad reputation for various (well-founded) reasons, from the point of view of a writer wanting to self-publish and not having the funds to publish, Amazon was the only realistic option. As a writer, you don’t pay anything. Although,h by the same token, en you earn very little in royalties (although that doesn’t bother me because that is not why I wrote)
However, I would reject the suggestion that the quality is poor. It’s a paperback (so you will like that), but I was very surprised by the quality of the cover and the print. Much better than I expected, and it was done by a printing firm in Italy
Sorry to be cheeky (and doing a plug LOL), but you can get some idea from the front cover of the book (vol 2), which is reproduced in this thread

Many Print-on-demand books are good; they use good paper and good fonts, and they have good artistic covers. A company named Staples is doing spiral books; many college students use their service
Answering your question on the Jesus thread about books. I buy books from different places.
Abe Books sells rare books, but their shipping charges are too high. I buy on eBay from sellers who are running a personal business or charity organisation without shipping charges from international publishers (CPUSA), and I buy from Buscalibre. Revolution Books ( Libros Revolucion, RCPUSA ), Pathfinders (Trotskyists), and Barnes and Noble; there is a wide selection of bookstores out there
I look at the printing style and the font size first; sometimes they just scan a book and glue a new cover. It is a low-quality book. I was a linotype operator (typist) and a bookbinder at the university. Gemco is a company that sells librarian and library supplies, and I buy supplies from them too to cover my books with clear contact paper or supplies to repair old books.
I prefer new books because they have better fonts. They do not use newspaper paper and ink, and they are PDFs. And PDF is a better format than the old format; they use Microsoft Word, Acrobat Reader, and WordPerfect, the same tools used by book writers and commercial newspapers, and they use Grammarly for grammar editing.
If I buy used books, I send them to a friend of mine who owns a bookbinding company; he does a very good job, and he inserts three ribbons to be used as bookmarks, and they can be covered in different colours.
There was a bookstore named French and Spanish Bookstore and Macondo that had an extensive collection of books, but they went out of business; most classical bookstores are gone forever, and universities do not have bookstores anymore; everything has been infested by the profit system, and people love it, because they did not enjoy the old days of good bookstores, old classical music stores and vintage stereo equipment which I used to collect too were gone, but they are coming back again.
I purchased all my Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Trotsky complete collections when they were cheap, and they were printed by Progress Publishers, sold by China Books and Periodicals, and other socialist printing shops, but they are all gone. I have them in three different languages. Now they are very expensive, and some commercial publishers are claiming copyrights. Pathfinders has copyright over the English version of Trotsky’s works; two British companies have copyrights on the works of Marx, Engels, Stalin, and Hoxha; I am keeping my collection of Peking Review and Mao’s collected works. Xinhua bookstores sell Chinese books. You can download the whole collection of Marx and Engels from a British company; the whole collection is in PDF.
Puerto Rico, Mexico and Argentina have a lot of bookstores, and Mercado Libre sell many books. I can travel by car to Mexico and buy good books,( new and used books ) and most universities ( UNAM books network has an extensive collection of books ) have bookstores, and UBA ( university of buenos Aires ) sells many books and professors lectures summary, the city of Buenos Aires is surrounded by bookstores, the University of Chile, has the whole collection of Marx and Engels online, in the USA it would be capital sin and the library of the devil, intellectual backwardness and advanced military weapons.
Amazon is selling books printed by xhglc and other publishing companies who are printing good quality books, good fonts, good covers and in pdf, Spain, and Mexico till have very good books printing companies like Editorial Grijalbo, Siglos XXI, Fondo de Cultura Economica ( they have the best edition of Marx Capital ) Grupo Planeta, Sexto Piso, Ediciones Era ( better than URSS Editorial Progreso ) I do not think that all books sold by amazon are ad quality, they sell good medical and law books in softcover and hardcover, many books on demand use good papers, good fonts and good covers and they do not have any grammar and punctuation mistakes, they are double checks with Grammarly.
Amazon sells a tablet named Fire that can be used as a book reader, and it has good fonts, and it has a Retina display, and it is a little better than Kindle, and cheaper than Apple iPad.
Amazon is selling the whole collection of Spanish classical literature, called Spain golden age of literatures
I bought it from Amazon, but I have not read it yet; it is on my reading list. I have read another one from Gore Voda. He was a very controversial person in the USA

Natives American built their homes in caves.
https://www.nps.gov/meve/learn/historyculture/cliff_dwellings_home.htm
The Native Americans most famous for buildingand living in cliffside cities were the Ancestral Puebloans (formerly referred to by the Navajo term Anasazi). Between 1190 and 1300 CE, they constructed massive, complex stone villages inside natural
rock alcoves throughout the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, most notably at Mesa Verde National Park. While popular culture often imagines their life as a completely uninterrupted era of peace and harmony, historical and archaeological records paint a much more complex, deeply human reality.The Quest for Community Harmony. The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a deeply sophisticated society centred around community unity and a spiritual connection to nature: Architectural Unity: They built tight-knit, apartment-like structures where families lived side-by-side. Communal Spaces: Every cliff village featured multiple kivas—subterranean, circular rooms used for spiritual ceremonies, social gatherings, and tribal governance to maintain internal social balance.Ecological Balance: For centuries, they successfully farmed corn, beans, and squash on the mesa tops above their homes while living in rhythm with the harsh desert climate.The Reality Behind the Cliffs: Conflict and Defence. Despite their internal cultural emphasis on balance, archaeological evidence proves that the move into the cliffs was actually triggered by instability, severe resource depletion, and warfare.
Before moving into the cliffs, they lived openly on mesa tops. They moved downward into nearly inaccessible rock faces primarily for defence against invaders or rival groups.
Dwellings like Cliff Palace lacked ground-floor doors and windows. Residents used retractable wooden ladders to enter through the roofs; if they were attacked, they would pull the ladders up to lock out enemies
At present, they are renting the land that belonged to them, and still they are being persecuted

You made a hash-up of my last piece in the Standard by jumbling two separate pieces together, making it incoherent.
==========================================
You wrote a good piece about scientific socialism.
I translated it, and it has been published on different sites
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriminalgeschichte_des_Christentums
I have read the works of this German Historian.
When I had a forum through Yahoo Groups, those volumes were extensively discussed by atheists and agnostics.
He has covered everything and does not try to justify anything; he has shown the criminal character of the Christian movement, and in our time it is very obvious with the Nationalist Christians and the right-wing populists who want to bring society back to the caveman.
I had a forum named The Religion of the Lies, and I was sent to the eternal fire several times by pastors and religious fanatics.
They had a criminal mentality, and I showed them the middle finger; they did not have any valid arguments, and I answered back with the Bible, which I have read and studied, showing the criminality of their own god.
The ones who want to present Jesus as a humanist figure are wrong too; it is a consequence of the same criminality and mythology. The New Testament is based on the old mythology.y
With the new archaeological discoveries, the bible has been completely debunked and proven that everything is a lie and a mythology created by psychopaths. From page one until the last page of Revelation, it does not make any difference if they add new books or they use the ethiopian bible with 80 books; it is the same mythology.
It is a compilation of mythologies and legends taken from different places and adapted to nomadic tribes based on the lie of a promised land,
You should read Ralph Nader’s book and make an SS review; he has covered more than the film, and he has been involved in product liability and product safety for several years.
He knows the history of the FAA pretty well; he said that the FAA is only an agency of Boeing and the commercial airliners and used to cover their tracks and criminality.
This issue shows the character of the so-called justice system, which is only an agency of the capitalist state to defend the legal interests of the capitalist class. I told that a long time ago to a constitutional law professor, and I told him that I can clean my butt with all the capitalist constitutions and all the national flags.
They only pass a safety law when hundreds of human beings are killed, or when the evidence is very obvious to the public; they are trying to avoid product liability lawsuits, and they are liable for many accidents and deaths, but they have an army of lawyers that small law firms can not afford to continue their cases; it is the same situation of Monsanto who have killed many peasants but defend lawyers can not continue their case due to the high cost of the legal proceedings
Ralph Nader has interviewed several engineers and managers of Boeing on his Podcast program, and what they have described is horrible; another part that is not covered by the film is that workers are under enormous pressure and stress, and several of them have committed suicide, and some have filed lawsuits for infliction of emotional distress.
