I've been doing research on a particular incident that was mentioned by someone, where according to him, the Soviets, or for what he sees in its entirety as the fault of Communism, turned his country, Estonia, practically towards the stone age. Well, I think if one really looks into the history of Estonia during its time under the rule of the Soviet Republic, then you'll probably see quite the opposite, with some authoritative times taking place, but for those I'll show logically why such things took place. First of all, the claim that the Soviet Union brought Estonia to a stone age-like spot, I'd have to completely disagree to where, statistically speaking, Estonia was practically within the stone age before the Soviets took control, & soon then they became far less towards the stone age & more along the lines of an industrialized nation with low unemployment, for how bad unemployment was back then that is. I'll provide a graph below that shows what happened within a few years left within the Soviet Union rule, then what had happen after Estonia gained independence,...

"If it wasn't for the illegal immigrants, Americans wouldn't be losing their jobs! If it wasn't for illegal immigrants, there wouldn't be so much crime on the streets! All illegal immigrants do is steal our jobs & not pay taxes like every other American in this country!" Don't rhetorical statements such as those pointed out above get a bit tiring to all of you? I know it has for me, & it's put me, along with many other Americans, within a spot where we're being labeled as "nation traitors" because we choose to defend those who are racially attacked within this country. Statements such as, "they take our jobs & give nothing in return", or, "all they do is bring crime to our neighborhoods", can only go so far without somebody standing up & pointing out how erroneous such statements really are. Thankfully, I've been able to document those who are speaking out & those who are bringing truth behind these smeared lies by the well funded, far-right organizations, ranging from the GOP to the Tea-Party movement. Though, it is...

Today there exists a global system of economic and political exploitation, borne out of the relationship between military industrial empire and the illegal drug trade. Across America, prisons are overflowing with petty drug offenders, and in the narcotics producer countries of the third world there are millions of laborers who are owned and treated as virtual slaves to a heavily armed and ruthless cartel elite. Despite decades of anti-drug crusade by the US, drug production rates have been relatively unaffected, and an inspection of the crimes of the recent past will even suggest a covert alliance between elements of the government and the mafia cartels of Latin America, which may have actually increased and facilitated the rate of production during the infamously drug ravaged era of the Reagan Administration. In the post-9/11 world, the war on drugs has become a positive hindrance in the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban, who fund their jihad with the sale of opium and heroin. The International War on Drugs should end immediately in the United States, the Afghan...

I seem to be part of the “lost generation”; the generation of too much knowledge and of a lost cause. I say we blame our parents and grandparents for the environmental decay of our planet, for the decay in our morality and/or our addiction to consumerism. Blame them for all this shit: the famine in the world, the wars, our addiction to drugs and “the good life”, it’s all their fault. Why not? I’m angry, helpless and hopeless. What the fuck!? Why am I here? And what the fuck am I suppose to do? That was easy … now I am free of guilt and ready to go bannanas! “In support of Mummia Jammal, run up on you fucking pigs with the heaters and all” (I like that line from Jedi Mind Tricks). Most people can’t connect the dots. Why can't everyone see the lies that the main stream media is throwing out? I watch the news: people blowing up in Afghanistan, kids mutilated by bombs in Iraq, more kids starving all over Africa, Native Indians without potable water in Canada and yet even more kids sleeping underneath the Gardiner Expressway here in Toronto. I wipe the...

Karl Marx and Globalization Globalization as we know it can be described best as the increasing mobility of capital through the transfer of goods and services as well as the greater flow of information across borders due to the improvements in technology and the opening up of new markets. The capitalists of the post Industrial countries, as well as the up and coming capitalists seek to gain a competitive edge over each other by the natural process of capitalist accumulation that of increasing profits and lowering costs. But what are the consequences of this process? Karl Marx, a 19th century political and economic philosopher argued that this expansion of markets and the greater flow of goods and services would be the form capitalist society would take as it developed. Karl Marx believed that history went through stages, which was termed “historical materialism” by Frederick Engels. He saw these stages through an economic lens; those of higher productive capabilities naturally will eliminate those with less. The system with the highest productive faculties that we...
