I’m not going to support the execution of Charles I, nor am I going to support the hanging of the Levellers.
I shall oppose the death penalty under all circumstances and shall remain consistent in that, just like the man I admire most in history, the Marquis de Sade – observing the follies of men but remaining guiltless of any participation in their crimes.” Next you’ll be telling us that James II was a good bloke too.”

Next you’ll be saying Matthew Hopkins was a good bloke. Only the retreat of Roundhead forces put an end to his crimes.
The first Charles wouldn’t play ball. That’s why they chopped his head off. At least he wouldn’t be a prop for the bourgeoisie.
I see the coronation has gone woke.
Now it’s TM, Their Majesty, since his and her are now illegal words.
TM armed forces. TM Ship. TM Prison, etc.Woke doesn’t mind capitalism. It just hates gender.
” In the Middle East in a pre capitalist society, Christians, Jewish and Muslim lived together in harmony and peace for more than 900 years, and they practiced their own religion without any intolerances, therefore human being lived in a social production for thousands of years and the research made by Marx and Engels are correct in regard to the primitive society.”
——————–Quite so. I think the history now with regard to distinct hominids is three million years. But of course, evolution isn’t a line of distinct compartments like train carriages; it is fluid.
In Sicily under Norman rule, Catholics, Muslims and Greeks co-operated in church building, and churches there are consisting of each faith’s contributions to floors, murals, etc.
Of course, Marx was also admiring of medieval Provence, ever since the Romans considered the Garden of Europe. During the century and a half of independent Occitan rule, Moslems and Jews were protected there, even during the Crusades. So were Cathars. These pacifists were actively protected by the Occitan nobles, with their lives. The same was true of Peter’s Aragon and Alfonso’s Castile, and of Moorish Spain, where a vibrant Sephardic civilization blossomed, and where refugee Cathars found safety.” Primitive communism lasted longer than capitalism and it was replaced by a new mode of production.”
I’ll say it did! Over a MILLION years!
And i’ll also challenge Lizzie’s “power over nature” phrase, which is in line with the CONQUEST mode of thought with which the capitalists are now destroying the very planet. It’s also in line with the bourgeois hierarchical interpretation of evolution, which evolutionary scientists and cross-species ethologists have long since debunked, as did Darwin himself: even though many Marxists still espouse it.
