A stale Marxism still at war with religion

 This is NEWS on the sectarian SEP controlled World Socialist Web Site . The ideological zombies on the Left would prefer that world socialism embrace the New Atheism. I suspect that ONLY a turn toward Catholicism and Christianity can save SOCIALISM as a movement . What have militant atheists like Stalin, Hitler , Mao done for the common people ? Working class people will never worship MATTER-IN-MOTION or build a cathedral around the " God Particle ". What a profoundly SCIENTIFIC idea : A universe from nothing ! The human soul will prefer " Genesis " : : In the Beginning... " The sectarian Marxist parties would still establish an OFFICIALLY ATHEIST state. And with BIG BROTHER leading it !

EGO of bureaucrats and politicians does not save lives !





What the mainstream news media will not tell you is that the team of Governor Gina Raimondo ( soon to be YOUR Secretary of Commerce) and Dr. Nicole Alexander Scott , MD are a disaster in the fight against COVID-19 on the home front. The treatment of elderly patients in nursing homes in Rhode Island is nothing less than a crime against humanity.

Fwd: Neo-liberalism at war with FREE SPEECH ?

If MONOPOLY social media can muzzle the president of the United States -or now ex-president Donald Trump - FREE SPEECH is effectively dead in the USA . For years " liberal " Democrats have condoned attacks - especially on college campuses - on the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. The late professor Howard Zinn wrote scathingly of the limits of FREE SPEECH in " OUR democracy ".
Speaking on the LEFT I can only agree with Donald Trump on the FAKE NEWS MEDIA in the USA. Already I cannot stand to watch local NBC, CBS , ABC news shows. ( Channel 10 , Channel 12, Channel 6 here in Rhode Island . And the once dignified Providence Journal is now a hopeless , pathetic rag : OUTSOURCE TO INDIA !

To: <letter@globe.com>


              Are there no advocates for more OPEN public libraries here in Rhode Island ?    People who love just to BROWSE in public libraries are a forgotten minority .  And what can you do with one half-hour ( Warwick Public Library ) on those now not so public library computers ?      This public library scene is a Ray Bradbury nightmare . The severity of the shut down is hardly justified by THE FACTS .  Unlike bars, casinos , restaurants, public libraries are rarely CROWDED .  Masks and hand sanitizer should suffice to bring them back to normal.
                   Not everybody has daily access to personal computers. I spilled coffee on mine and ruined it .  The resources of most public libraries are infinitely superior to a solitary computer  and the divine INTERNET . 
                    At the Cranston Public Library, some months ago, I was nearly scolded for lingering - STANDING UP - with a reference book : a big beautiful " Chronicle of the 20th Century " .     In this Corona Virus Pandemic you are invariably GUILTY OF PLAGUE until proven innocent by the proper authorities - like " Knock  It Off !  " Governor Gina Raimondo,  soon to be  our Secretary of Commerce .
                              In science fiction this pandemic could be described as " The Malthus Project ".    A  diabolical plan to  defund not the police , not the military , but the Social Security System.  
                              Any such " paranoia " would get me banned on FACEBOOK .    Planned genocide in this benevolent world of FOR PROFIT capitalism is indeed THOUGHT CRIME .

David North and his World Socialist Web Site saved the world from fascist Trumpism ?

[ " The fascists have marshaled and demonstrated their full brutishness. But as Trotsky noted, the laws of history are refracted through the prism of accident. I propose a double bill for this powerful film, wonderfully edited. Screen Eisenstein's immortal scene from Ten Days That Shook the World (1920), the storming of the Winter Palace. "

They dreamed of the dictatorship of Trump, we gave them the dictatorship of the proletariat.."]   ( COMMENT from a " comrade " today on WSWS )

   What deluded TRUE BELIEVERS !   Who is this  WE  ?   The Democratic Party constitutes the vanguard of the " dictatorship of the proletariat ? David North and his WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE stopped a fascist movement in the United States ?   Perhaps  voters for Joe Biden saved the world from " Hitler " Trump ?   


    This from a phony " Trotskyist " personality cult party with no roots at all in the American or British working class.   Whenever I see the name David North I am reminded of my favorite Malcolm X quote :  " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ".  How many " proles" in his obnoxious , sectarian Socialist Equality Party ?   For years now the party members have resembled those weird " Clears " in the Church of Scientology.   They could be a footnote in a new revised edition of Eric Hoffer's classic  : " The True Believer ".

   Yes , indeed  " WE " gave them the dictatorship of the proletariat " .   Given some miraculous break from the pagan god of HISTORY David North and his SEP followers would give us a Stalinism Redux  nightmare - with still faithful, Christian working class people being re-educated by a reconstituted " Society of the Godless ".

        Radical Ron was banned from the WSWS as a " resident Catholic , anti-Semite , fascist " .   But then ALL the long established organizations on the Left now seem contemptuous of the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization .

                   If there is hope for DEMOCRATIC socialism  it lies in the CHRISTIAN proles  !

Not a whiff of Christianity in DNC based " identity politics "

 


There is not a whiff of Christianity in the identity politics madness of the Democratic Party. And I speak as a Democratic Socialist not a partisan of Donald Trump. Any so-called socialist tendencies in the Democratic Party come very close to Stalinism in alliance with the obnoxious new atheism
Their identity politics is as vicious and hateful as anything the neo-Nazis could come up with.

" Cranston bank robbed by well-dressed suspect "

The well-dressed suspect is also described as a black male. On my shopping days I frequently use the ATM machine in this store-often between 9 and 10 a.m. As a Democratic Socialist I have always thought that racism in the United States is, in the final analysis,a matter of economic CLASS. Having more black people doing the news and doing TV and radio commercials only hides this reality of economic Injustice. Working people -of all races and ethnic groups -are exploited and oppressed by the capitalist system. Said black leader Malcolm X : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a bloodsucker. " Malcolm X was also " processed" by our criminal Justice system, but he came out of it with different ideas, REVOLUTIONARY ideas . In his Harlem speeches Malcolm X made a connection between capitalism and racism , between imperialism and racism. Malcolm X would have laughed at those black people doing capitalist commercials on TV and voting for corrupt Democrats.
A fundamental flaw in " OUR democracy " is this TWO PARTY SYSTEM. The American plutocracy STEALS every election. And they make it all but impossible for SOCIALIST third parties to compete on Election Day.
