In Mexico, drug dealers sacrifice animals, and have sacrificed kidnapped humans, to a character known as St. Death, to ensure success with drug shipments. For incense, they use marijuana smoke. St. Death has a skull for a face.
There was a famous incident where a Texan boy was kidnapped and sacrificed, bringing in the FBI.
Ultra-modernist leftists who despise classical literature as bourgeois and discardable will be pleased with this.
“Alpha Male” a myth.
Yes. May that day come soon!
We’ll have to set up nurseries for ex-leaders of capitalist states, so they can harmlessly play at throwing playpen balls at one another.
Mao banned Beethoven as bourgeois, and because Beethoven had condemned Mao’s hero Napoleon – the ultimate hero of the bourgeoisie!
And I heard Winnie the Pooh is banned in China because the leader heard someone say he bears a resemblance to Pooh.
Notice, too, how the villains in movies are classical music fans?
Yes. Which is why someone who had an understanding of the role of private property and with hopes that humankind would one day emerge to a better state of being, would not have put their hopes in any of the parties urging bloodshed.
Such an eye-witness at the time (and De Sade comes closest) would, like Sade, have advised a British-style bicameral constitutional monarchy, sparing most of those lives lost (most of whom were the poor) during the Jacobinist carnage.
Not all humans who keep company with nonhumans do so because they are lonely, or inadequate in human relationships.
Those I have known who do not share life with other animals are frequently cold people, neurotically obsessive with cleaning and disdainful of other humans too.
Children reach out naturally to other animal life, and we don’t question surrounding the youngest of us with fluffy toys in the shape of other animals. It would be questioned if some parent didn’t.
As capitalism blights our lives and crushes the natural out of us with age, we become alienated from both other humans and other animals, and many of us turn our rage on those weaker than us – such as pets, children, and gentle humans who are “not hard enough.”I agree that the pet industry’s disappearance would be a good thing, as speciesism declines following the socialist revolution.
However, aren’t you forgetting (?) that dogs, humans and cats are animals who have gravitated together since prehistory, especially the first two.I have been researching incidents in history that show the powerful love of dogs for their human friends, and innumerable cases abound that show the same between other animals and humans, and between other species without humans.
Why should the fading of the pet-keeping phenomenon, and the disappearance of exploitative relationships rule out any relationship between humans and members of other species, without ownership and exploitation?
Relationships with other humans will be freed from the ugliness, competitiveness and bullying of today, but even so: would you really want no sharing and no friendship with other fellow animals?
