Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

Prince Harry - killing people in war - even in " good " wars - is nothing to brag about
Killing human beings in war -even in " good " wars - is nothing to brag about. And Afghanistan was as much a dirty war for the United States as was Vietnam . The ruling class of Britain and the ruling class of " OUR democracy " are not on a higher moral level than Putin's Russian oligarchy or the Chinese " Communist " Party (now a long way from Marx and Engels ) .
Hard to believe that British royalty - with its long history of brutal colonialism - is really slobbering over NATO war monger Zelensky 's " sovereign " Ukraine . Nor is American Imperialism an uncompromising guardian of third world " sovereign " nations- like Chile in 1973 where the CIA colluded in the assassination of the democratically elected Marxist president Salvador Allende . We democratic socialists can name numerous other countries where American interests collided with the interests of the common people. Iran , for example in the early 1950s.
Considering the roots of the American Revolution why does our news media slobber over British Royalty today ? Or our government ally itself with the horrendous Saudi Arabian royal family ? Or even with APARTHEID Israel ?
And yet not one voice in the " progressive " Democratic Party for the mostly invisible anti-war movement , for SANE world peace !
