    God takes His orders from the White House, whoever is president.

    Maybe this is why, despite all the alarmism, the western govts are not regimenting us on an imminent nuclear strike basis, but are ignoring Putin’s threats for what they really are: his only card.

    Then you know nothing of de Sade.

    Are Socialists Sadists?

    How long will the US hold out on these warmongering f*****s of Britain and Europe, with their stupid heads still stuck in WW2, petitioning with all their might and insistence that “we” should all be “much tougher” on Russia?

    This war was the US’s darling to start with, and Germany etc. were less eager, having to forego Nordstream, but now it’s Europe that is clamouring for more and more sabre-rattling.

    How will Moscow and Washington re-establish relations when the Ukraine war ends? How will both arrange any re-establishment in propaganda terms for the brainwashed workers on both sides?

    It was quickly done after WW2, but in that case the figureheads of the defeated side were all dead.

    Similarly, how will Pacific tensions be resolved without war?

    I’m sure I’ve seen Standard articles on additives in food and profits before people re: nutrition.

    I don’t have the stamina for composition that I used to have. Are there not other comrades interested in other species and in mutual aid in both human and nonhuman societies, who would like a chance to write for the Standard?
    I’ve been over this subject so many times, and with diabetes I am lately tired every day.

    Agreed, but I would have to buy the book, and I am on benefits.

    More guilt-tripping of unemployed wage-slaves; and the danger of being forced to take dangerous drugs, when all genuine physicians tell us diet and exercise are the only safe options for weight-loss, not pills.

    Even when I mention things in passing, whilst having a normal small talk conversation, I am rendered speechless. For instance, the news that dinosaurs did not co-exist with humans has people reply, “Are you sure? How do you know that?”

    And I constantly have to dumb down my vocabulary.
    I also hate snobbery, and it comes because, as I am not an academic, I am asked “How would YOU know? You’re not a professor.”

    I’ve had doors closed on me whilst a friend was allowed through, because she had an academic title and I’m just a bum.

    I’ve been ridiculed as a book reader all my life, long before the internet. Book readers for pleasure are not valued, especially not when they are male.

    And you can bet those dismissing books in favour of the digital are NOT, for the most part, going online to read Marx and Engels. Nor to read anything of substance.

    Money-making, gambling, porn, zombie games, jobs and sport are about all, plus conspiracies (for those of that bent).

    Very few are researching historical materialism. Many more than that are researching flat earth, or Taylor Swift.

    Btw, do you see socialism as a bookless society, like in H.G. Wells’ Time Machine, where former libraries are full of dust, and books crumble like cookies when touched?

    We can hardly hope Shelley’s knowledgeable, well-read, coherent, eloquent and enlightened “rising lions” are still to be found anywhere, as we once hopefully saw heroic proletarians abolishing the wages system. That’s a Godwinian and Marxian fiction, you have to admit. And Rosa Luxemburg is long gone.

    The vocabulary of Marxism, or any extensive vocabulary, has no place in most people’s lives, and they have no interest in it.
