Socialism is not inevitable either.
Workers in the so-called third-world country ( it is not an economic term ) are questioning capitalism more than workers in advanced, developed countries, and more organisations are taking a similar stance to the socialist party. And some have rejected Leninism and sovietism
One of the negative factors has been nationalism due to the influence of the Leninists and the national liberation movement, but the failure of those movements and the global expansion of capitalism have motivated many workers to question those points of view.
In the USA, workers have been poisoned for a long period of time by nationalism and patriotism, and with the arrival of right-wing populism, that factor has increased more lately, but it is changing due to the stance on foreign workers; even more, the capitalist class of both tendencies are scared of the social democrats, and socialism is not a dirty word among young people like in prior epochs.
The reality, instead of a romantic pipe dream, is that Marx thought the working class was going to rebel against the capitalist class instead of supporting them; probably, in his time was correct because the workers were rebelling against oppression. In Capital, one of its prefaces, it says that the working class was reading Marx’s Capital; in some places, mentioning Marx or Marx’s Capital is a capital sin.
I am always reading inside my house and outside of my house, and wherever I go, I take socialist books; the trunk of my car is like a library. I entered a restaurant, and I was reading a book written by Engels, and a couple of guys violently told me that I was reading diabolical literature. Now, capitalists and workers are making anti communist propagandas, it is getting like the time of McCarthy.
Yesterday Trump had a convention meeting, and everybody was shouting to kill other human beings. I grew up in a small town that the Americans call a shit hole, and I never heard that crap from anybody, including the rich of the town, and in my university the young people were always fighting for the same cause, in the Ghettos of NYC, where many illusory petit bourgeoisie are saying that they are full of criminals. I did not hear that either.
The case of the socialist party is different because it had the background of workers who had class consciousness, but in other places around the world, most organisations did not inherit the same conditions, and many of them have capitulated to the bourgeois class too.
At present, everything is dead. I remember the old days when we had socialist conferences all over, people selling socialist newspapers in different locations, socialist bookstores all over the cities, but now we just have a bunch of fanatic nationalists carrying signs to kill other human beings, and religious fanatics shouting in the corners about the end of time. In many forums, you have to be careful; otherwise, you are going to find a brown shirt like in the old days of Germany.
The philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya wrote that the world was going to experience an ideological retrogression, but I would prefer to live in the old days, in the time of my youth, when we thought that a new world was possible to establish; we were always reading, and our heroes were not leaders; our “heroes” were Marx and Engels.
Right now, most people do not think that we can establish a better world, and they are supporting dictators and authoritarian leaders, and nobody is reading anything, including comic books; everybody is an expert on nothing and bootlicking.
Karl Marx and Engels overestimated the working class; they never thought that the world working class was going to support their own class enemies. Warren Buffett said that there is class struggle and that his class is winning that war, and he is correct because the capitalist class has more class consciousness than the working class.
In my youth, we were afraid of the capitalist class and their lynchmen, but now we must be careful with the capitalists and many members of the working class who also want their class brothers and sisters to be killed. In clinical psychology class, we studied the bizarre personality and at present many bizarre personalities fit that description; it is like a mental disease, similar to the bizarre Superman

President Donald Trump offered a check or political payback of 5,000 dollars to every American citizen if the Republicans win the midterm election. It is just a desperate move to save the GOP and himself; it is like the dividend distribution of a corporation, which might cost more than 1.3 trillion dollars

Earlier this summer, self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted a fitness challenge video that offers an apt representation of the current state of the U.S. military. The video shows Hegseth lifting weights at the infamous Guantánamo Bay prison on occupied Cuban land. The caption claims that he “CRUSHED 44 reps on the bench,” but the video was largely mocked for Hegseth’s poor lifting form and his twitching legs as he clearly struggles to rack the barbell.
Like the video, which boasts of strength while clearly depicting weakness, the Trump administration’s “peace through strength” agenda is revealing to the entire world the growing frailty of U.S. imperialism and, with it, the crisis facing the U.S. military.
There is a shortage of wild sardines due to overfishing and climate change.
A female sardine can lay thousands of eggs, and sardines have a special diet that can only be found in the ocean.
During the COVID shutdown, many species were multiplying rapidly, and some that were in the process of extinction came back in great numbers. They wandered into quiet cities; they are scared of humans
Animals cannot live in peace in this society.
How long are we going to continue supporting this stupid economic system?
The natives american protected the salmon, the oceans and the rivers, and now the fish farmers are adding artificial colours to the salmon diet, and they were called savages.
The real colour of the salmon is provided by the river’s and ocean’s nutrients. Salmon can live in both environments.
Personally, I do not buy or eat farmed fish
He bombs dropped in Japan were scientists experiments made on a civil population with limited consequences and the Japanese were already defeated and those two cities were preserved the rest of Japan was completely destroyed
They are saying that trump is a crazy and lunatic guy but he has not dropped one single atomic bomb in Iran and the Iranian know that he is not going to do that He has threatened them but he doesn’t dare to do that
I was in the middle of a conversation about climate change and climate disaster, and I can see that most of the people are scientifically ignorant, and the educational system is completely useless.
We used to study natural sciences, geology, humanities, geography, archaeology, palaeontology, other cultures and civilisations, agriculture, ecology, and it was a well-rounded academic education, and the first year at the university was a review of prior disciplines at a higher level; without that, nobody was able to choose a career; now they are just concentrated in their own little world.
For them, climate change, climate disaster and destruction are something normal; while the capitalists are happily walking to the banks to deposit their profits obtained from their own sweat, they blame everything on themselves instead of the capitalist class. It is pure brainwashing and bootlicking at a high level; it was very difficult to control us, including old people,
My grandfather was not an intellectual, and he knew about the capitalist character of the soviet union and the character of WW2. He refused to fight; he said Let the patriot die for the rich, and I will stay watching the girls until they come back,” and that is what he did, while people of his generation were coming back inside of a coffin.
We were motivated to read books and to go to a library to do research; they just follow leaders like sheep; they do not understand the power of the class consciousness of the working class; we do not know the stupid leaders; we can send on a rocket to another planet, and send the politicians to play golf; we do not need the.m
Many young people of my generation were killed because they read books outside of the normal curriculum and became dangerous to capitalism; now, they are capitalists’ lovers, and they can not remove anything from society; they worship their own class enemies, and they hate scientists, but they love shamans
Germany’s Fascist Party Just Won Control of a State Government
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party scored a landslide victory this past Sunday in Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt state election, although it fell short of a majority in its bid to form the first far-right state government in the country’s postwar history. It won 43.8 per cent of the vote, more than doubling its share of the vote five years ago in the region, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative Christian Democratic Union slumped to a historic low of 17.2 per cent, down from 37.1 per cent in 2021.This shocking result has been a long time in the making. Neofascist ideology has been creeping into Germany’s mainstream political arena for the past few decades, even though the country’s domestic intelligence agency has classified the AfD as an “extremist party” because its leaders have espoused far-right rhetoric. Indeed, the party, which has grown rapidly since it was formed in 2013, is not hiding its racism and authoritarianism and has been quite blunt in its rejection of a liberal, pluralistic society.
