Thomas_MoreParticipant
I’m sure I’ve seen Standard articles on additives in food and profits before people re: nutrition.
Thomas_MoreParticipantI 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.Thomas_MoreParticipantAgreed, but I would have to buy the book, and I am on benefits.
Thomas_MoreParticipantMore 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.
Thomas_MoreParticipantEven 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.

Thomas_MoreParticipantI’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).

Thomas_MoreParticipantVery 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.

Thomas_MoreParticipantCruise missiles to be deployed.
Thomas_MoreParticipantThe workers are not going to make the revolution through any understanding of historical materialism. Only a tiny minority know what that is, and I am mocked for my pleas on the importance of books and knowledge of history, and am told by socialists we don’t need people to read in order for them to make socialism. If that is so, we must hope for them to make it without any historical understanding of their role; just make it intuitively, out of the self-preservation instinct.
Thomas_MoreParticipantDeath by work.
Thomas_MoreParticipantWorkers harrassed.
Thomas_MoreParticipantPoint taken.

This could drag in more countries.Thomas_MoreParticipantThomas_MoreParticipantSome comrades? It’s just me, isn’t it?
Who else thinks this is the big one coming? Because you have all (which has comforted me and permitted me to function from day to day) said world war is not round the corner at all. -
