And neither did a proletarian revolution take place, merely a coup d’état by a Bolshevik minority.

Obsession with “fascism” is a leftist, Leninist, obsession, to justify WW2 and wars of “national liberation” etc., all distracting the workers from the fact that it is capitalism that needs abolishing. “Fight fascism!” is yet another reformist slogan that trendy lefties are always spouting.

Why is it so easy for the US now to crush Cuba, after so many decades of “face off”?

Prophetic?

Mind you, if one wants to know what a world socialist is, and they type it in Google Search, the wsws (Trotskyists) are the first to come up; whereas if they type in world socialism, then we come up.

[Thomas_More]

Oh, right. Thank you.

[Thomas_More]

Then we would have to contend with the Trotskyist World Socialist Party.

Hopefully, but then, only those interested will visit here.

And one conversation, or, the opening of one conversation, is enough for most to avoid us thereafter.

“… workers (partially) work for capitalists for free.”

Yes, but they don’t know it.

Penniless aristocrats and over-rich bourgeois are a common theme in these novels. So are “yobs” and muggers who are aristocrats, picking on members of the bourgeoisie.😀

Surely Britain and Europe’s seizing of international tankers carrying Russian oil, if maintained, will result in war?

Two debates, but intertwined.

1. Did Daniel Defoe write the General History of the Pirates?
If he did, why would he compose one fictional account in a gigantic work of factual accounts?
So,
a) The utopia of Captain Misson is true, in which case it is a piece of history which should interest socialists, or
b) It is the one fiction in a work of factual accounts, which would make Daniel Defoe a utopian socialist – also of interest.

2. If Defoe is not the author, but the unknown Captain Johnson, then the same (a & b above) apply. If b, then we have in the unknown Johnson an 18th century utopian socialist whom we do not know.
