An Anti-Religious Critique? "I have never put this question this way to myself for a simple reason. I am convinced that the socialist idea would not have come into existence without Christianity. Christianity is the religion of charity. The politically correct word for charity is solidarity. Karl Marx saw this somewhat differently. He called religion ‘opiate for the masses’. That is what he calls it in his Theses on Feuerbach. Religion at the time of Karl Marx played a different role than it does today. Today the question arises who in society is responsible for the promotion of values. Supermarkets cannot replace cathedrals." (Oskar Lafontaine) In May 2010, Die Welt interviewed Oskar Lafontaine, an outgoing chairman of Die Linke (The Left party in Germany). This charismatic political figure started to establish his place on the left when in 2008 he called for including the phrase, “For exploitation veiled by religious and political illusions, has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation” – from the Communist Manifesto – directly in...

“I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. It is good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great deal in our work.” ~Mao Zedong The current dispositional attitude of post-Cold War communist revolutions has mirrored the very thought-strategies of those that remind us eerily of what had been partaken upon, by the help of mainstream media no less, through US intelligence agencies against those that posed a threat to their “national security”. Although, as the information that’ll be provided here will show the mere corruption of foreign governments, the help of the US intelligence agencies...

Iran, under its desperate struggle between their independence & those forces sought out to destroy it, finds itself facing what history once taught us, but, from what it seems, has lost itself someway or another to the minds of those who live today. Whether it be a newly independent State that broke off all ties from the imperialist forces that once did business with them, or it be a State in which continues to this day to fight for their independence, for whatever may be left of it, the struggle for independence still wages on, in which we continue to see in face of Iran. Despite the lack of any real proof, or what many of us like to call “evidence”, of the development of nuclear weapons by Iran, the US, with the help of those in the United Nations & close allies, continues to push forward, what it seems, the possibility of war against them. Though, if one was to merely look back in history, from the 1950′s to today, we begin to understand not just the reason why they’re doing this, but also what may possibly happen here in the near future. Nuclear relations...

Compensation and Capital Flight "The difference between these demands and the muddleheaded reformist slogan of 'nationalization' lies in the following: (1) we reject indemnification; (2) we warn the masses against demagogues who, giving lip service to nationalization, remain in reality agents of capital; (3) we call upon the masses to rely only upon their own revolutionary strength; (4) we link up the question of expropriation with that of seizure of power by the workers " (Leon Trotsky) As elaborated upon earlier, despite the broad economism inherent in that Trotskyist sacred cow known otherwise as The Transitional Program, there are a number of points in that “transitional” approach worth salvaging. One of those points deals precisely with the question of indemnification. Given the extremely depressed period in which the Trotskyist sacred cow was committed to written form, only the most primitive dimension of the question of indemnification was considered, one not too dissimilar from either the very first accumulations by dispossession that...

What is Communism? Without a doubt, you’ve probably heard about communism. And, also without a doubt, you’ve probably heard all sorts of horror stories about it — from your teachers, from the media, from politicians, even from your church pastor or preacher. They tried to scare you. They want to keep you from finding out for yourself. If you asked one authority figure for a second opinion, they usually told you to ask another authority figure. And if that didn’t satisfy you, then they told you to read the history books they wrote for you. Do you see a pattern here? The one person they will never tell you to talk to, however, is a communist. Why? Because a communist might go “off script” and tell you something they don’t want you to hear. So, what is communism? Well, there is communism, the theory, and communism, the society. Let’s first deal with communism, the society.

The permanent suppression of all private banks and their elite bankers by a national-democratized financial monopoly – at purchase prices based especially on the market capitalization values of insolvent yet publicly underwritten banks – along with the extension of this public monopoly on money supply control into the general provision of commercial and consumer credit, as well as the full application of “equity not usury” towards such activity

This topic seems to be an important one, in which comes to the mind of any person who's, 1) a leftist (whether a socialist, communist, anarchist, etc.), & 2) wants to be a parent someday. The idea that your own child may not be who you want them to be in life, or worse, become the enemy of your very beliefs is intolerable & quite nerve wrecking at times. In which, this all usually leads up to the natural procedure that most parents of today partake in - authoritarianism. Forcing the child of your own to believe in what you believe, to view as you view, in which only brings detrimental effects to their daily life as they grow up. As studies have shown, when parenting like this is put into action, the child more than likely rebels & becomes what you despise either way. So the authoritarian take on parenting should be an easy "no-no". Another way parents tend to take on is the idea that, as long as they let their child do what ever they want & gets the best any child could get, then that child will be perfect & will love you because of it. Sadly,...

As a proud atheist & scientific thinker I've been attacked continuously by the far-right religious believers. Though, the ideals of the right-winged religious beliefs do not frighten me, nor do I truly care what these people believe, for their nonsense & illogical way of thinking can be easily pointed out & is beginning to become, what many other religious beliefs have become, myths. But what does scare me are the religious beliefs of the far-left. Although I am humbled to see that people within the Vatican are now starting to believe that science is the way of answering things & that the bible is merely a book of pure metaphor, I cringe at the notion that God & science play hand-n-hand. You know who I'm talking about, because we're all acquainted to someone that believes that both God & evolution coexists. Again, I'm glad to see that the religious believers are now realizing that evolution is absolute fact & not just a theory anymore, but what they're doing is allowing the nut-cased believers to barge in & take in strength by passing out a...

In light of the events taking place on the Gulf Coast, a series of events & information that was once hidden in the dark has now revealed itself for the world to see. Ranging from profit scams, broken safety protocols, to even misleading oil spill coverages, we continue to step away from the shadows that BP pulled over our heads from day 1. The information I am brining forth to you are all from what has happened so far. So, even after you read this, it is up to you to continue to uncover more that is to come. If anything, this is just the beginning. What does Tony know that we don't? I remember watching CNN one night, & Anderson Cooper was doing his daily coverages on the BP disaster. Cooper, out of all his extensive coverage in being the whistle blower, he did a tiny segment on BP Chief Tony Hayward, which only lasted for a minute or two. What was shown was Hayward getting in a plane with fellow BP exectutives, smiling as if he was having a great time. Cooper had then stated, "is there something that Tony knows that we don't?" Where Cooper was initially...
