Excerpt from Leon Trotsky's " In Defense of Marxism " - Do we see this today ?

“Science and Style” [1] First Published: Leon Trotsky, In Defense of Marxism, New York 1942. Checked against: Leon Trotsky, In Defence of Marxism, London 1966, pp.192-195. All footnotes stem from the latter edition. February 23, 1940 Dear Comrades, I received Burnham’s Science and Style. The abscess is open and this is an important political advantage. The theoretical backwardness of the American “radical” opinion is expressed by the fact that Burnham repeats only – with some “modernized” illustrations – what Struve wrote in Russia more than forty years ago and to a great degree what Diihring tried to teach German Social Democracy three quarters of a century ago. So much from the point of view of “science.” As far as “style” is concerned, I frankly prefer Eastman. The interest of the document is not at all of a theoretical character: the thousand and first professorial refutation of dialectics has no more worth than all its precedents. But, from the political point of view the importance of the document is indisputable. It shows that the theoretical inspirer of the opposition is not at all nearer to scientific socialism than was Muste, the former associate of Abern. Shachtman mentioned Bogdanov’s philosophy. But it is absolutely impossible to imagine Bogdanov’s signature under such a document, even after his definite rupture with Bolshevism. I believe the Party should ask Comrades Abern and Shachtman, as I do at this moment: What do you think of Burnham’s “science” and of Burnham’s “style”? The question of Finland is important but it is finally only an episode and the change of the international situation, revealing the genuine factors of events, can at once dissipate the divergences on this concrete issue. But can Comrades Abern and Shachtman now, after the appearance of Science and Style, continue to carry the slightest responsibility, not for tbe poor document as such, but for Burnham’s entire conception on science, Marxism, politics, and “morals.” Those Minorityites who prepared themselves for a split should consider that they would be connected not for a week and not for the duration of the Soviet-Finnish War, but for years with a “leader” who has in his entire conception nothing in common with the proletarian revolution. The abscess is open. Abern and Shachtman can no longer repeat that they wish only to discuss Finland and Cannon a bit. They can no longer play blind man’s buff with Marxism and with the Fourth International. Should the Socialist Workers Party remain in the tradition of Marx, Engels, Franz Mehring, Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg,—a tradition which Burnham proclaims “reactionary,” – or should it accept Burnham’s conceptions which are only a belated reproduction of pre-Marxian petty-bourgeois socialism? We know too well what such revisionism signified politically in the past. Now in the epoch of the death-agony of the bourgeois society, the political consequences of Burnhamism would be incom parably more immediate and anti-revolutionary. Comrades Abern and Shachtman, you have the floor! LEON TROTSKY Coyoacan, D.F. Notes

I like this response from the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE : [ " The World Socialist Web Site condemns the police assault and arrest of Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein at a protest Saturday against Israel’s US-backed genocide in Gaza.

I recall the drama of the GENERAL STUDENT STRIKE of 1970 protesting Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. Presently Zionist APARTHEID Israel is under the shadow of indictment from an international court for war crimes and crimes against humanity . We who protested the criminal Vietnam War back in the " Tumultuous Sixties " do not hesitate to support the Brown University students in their peaceful GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT protests. They have no friends in the Biden administration nor a friend in Republican Donald Trump and his quasi- fascist politics. From the top down the Biden administration is packed with militant -morally obtuse - friends of Israel. Rather than SEE the genocide in Gaza , Palestine they would rather see an illusion of anti-Semitism " on the Left ". WOKE WARRIOR Democrats are not helped by fawning , vacuous ( " on the Left " ? ) Hollywood celebrities. The mainstream media in " OUR democracy " - led by the New York Times - persists in identifying anti-ZIONISM as functional anti-Semitism. Is TRUTH anti-Semitic ? Also, as longtime democratic socialist I have heard from pro-Israel zealots that SOCIALISM is inherently anti-Semitic ! Our ALL AMERICAN plutocracy would at least agree that SOCIALISM is anti- AMERICAN . Quasi -fascist Donald Trump promises to ban it in all states of the United States in his grandiose plan to " MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN " ! What a choice come Election Day 2024 : Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden !

Protesters are defying Columbia University's order to leave encampment

The mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " continues to smear the GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENTS on university grounds as being organized and controlled by " HAMAS terrorists ". I recall the drama of the GENERAL STUDENT STRIKE of 1970 against Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. By the way , Nixon lost and Vietnam won ! Back then student protests against the Vietnam War were , of course, led by Moscow funded communists ! Honest souls still surviving in the mainstream news media must experience the fear and trembling before the shadowy Israel Lobby. Their hearts and brains freeze whenever discussing the deeds of Zionist APARTHEID Israel .

Brown students continue to demand school's divestment of Israel-Hamas war

On his morning news-talk show local radio-TV news anchor Gene Valicenti seemed to be agitating for a police crackdown on the Brown student protesters. In fact, none of the local 630 WPRO talk radio celebs ever put in a kind word for the " FREE PALESTINE " cause or show much sympathy for mass suffering in Gaza. Fear and trembling before the shadowy Israel Lobby ?

The mainstream news media -no surprise -is smearing the SOLIDARITY WITH GAZA ENCAMPMENTS at our Brown University in Providence , Rhode Island , for example , the same way it it did the incipient anti-Vietnam War student protests. They were all led by sinister , Moscow directed communists ! A longtime independent democratic socialist , I recall the drama of the GENERAL STUDENT STRIKE against Nixon's invasion of Cambodia in 1970. Ultimately Nixon lost and Vietnam won. Our representatives in the Congress and Senate shamelessly slobber over our eternal friendship with Zionist APARTHEID Israel . You would think the BIG NEWS is all about perceived , deplorable anti-Semitism in the Ivy League not GENOCIDE in Gaza , Palestine. On his morning news-talk show local radio-TV news anchor Gene Valicenti seemed to be agitating for a police crackdown on the Brown student protesters. In fact, none of the local 630 WPRO talk radio celebs ever put in a kind word for the " FREE PALESTINE " cause or show much sympathy for mass suffering in Gaza. Fear and trembling before the shadowy Israel Lobby ? The news this morning says that Netanyahu and the government of Israel is facing a World Court charge for war crimes and crimes against humanity . The protesting college students have no allies in either Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party or Trump's quasi-fascist Republican Party . What is this nonsense about a " mutiny " against Israel? Is Israel above LAW just as right wing blowhard Donald Trump ? Just as corrupt Joe Biden & Son ?

What student protests say about US politics, Israel support

The mainstream news media ( in which ZIONIST Jews , of course, are only a humble whispering voice ) continues to smear the student PRO-PALESTINE protests by relentlessly identifying anti-ZIONISM as anti-Semitism. The voices in the street are all against GENOCIDE in Gaza, Palestine. The media thinks that the main issue is the deplorable , and of course, unexplainable growth of Anti-Semitism. In lying the way into numerous past wars the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " is a formidable opponent of HATE which our plutocracy - in planning nuclear World War III - is always above . Imagine getting OUR military to exterminate MILLIONS of innocent civilians with no hatred in its heart ! It is just that the dastardly UNFREE world does not live up to the lofty moral standards of Joe Biden & Son, of Donald Trump & Son in Law, of Bill & Hillary Clinton, of the CIA , the FBI, Deep State , the Pentagon War Crimes Machine. Does not live up to the high moral standards of our dear allies: the war criminal Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel , the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky of " Greater Israel " Ukraine . The dastardly UNFREE world does not live up to the lofty political idealism of the New York Times editorial board. In general of OUR WAY OF LIFE ! So bring on nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and even damn them , little Venezuela ! VOTE YES for Joe Biden or Donald Trump come Election Day 2024 . Either patriot will do ! And MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !

New arrests made overnight during protests on college campuses

I recall of the drama of the GENERAL STUDENT STRIKE of 1970 protesting Nixon's invasion of Cambodia . History repeating itself ? Thought Crime wisdom from the " Tumultuous Sixties " : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? " .

Robert Kraft launches 'Stand up to Jewish Hate' blue square campaign

TV commercials against " hate " lack any psychological depth. The science of human psychology must understand " hate " just as its opposite " love ". If individuals who are NOT crazy hate this or that group it might just be the INDUCTION process at work. If an individual has real or imagined negative interactions with this or that race or this or that ethnic group, he or she will acquire prejudice . If I learned that a number of people actually hated me , I would ask a very reasonable question : " WHY ? " I would not tell people or myself that it is all because of my extraordinary talents and virtues. Could not MODERN anti-Semitism have more to do with nation -state politics -with Zionist APARTHEID Israel, and with the belligerence associated with its " right to exist ", that explains much of anti-Semitism in the 21st century ? Also, it does seem that the pillars of odious ( to most CHRISTIANS ) WOKE ideology are secular , often openly anti-Christian ZIONIST Jews colluding with the quite unpleasant group of New Atheists . With the blessing of ELITE Ivy League colleges and universities. When THESE Jews appear to control main stream news media there is an inevitable buildup of resentment that in some individual cases degenerates into sociopathic hate. As it did with one Adolph Hitler as a young adult in the post-war German Weimar Republic. In " Mein Kampf " Hitler speaks for himself about HIS anti-Semitism . His book should not be banned anywhere. " HATE " really is not all that simple. And anti-Semitism today has different roots than in the late Dark Ages in Europe. In no way today are Catholics encouraged to think hateful thoughts about Judaism as a religion . While Marxist socialists declare all capitalist exploiters and greedy landlords ENEMIES OF THE WORKING CLASS. As would old Karl Marx. @LuisHernandez-ph6ji 2 months ago You spitting bro @LuisHernandez-ph6ji I just think there is very little deep thinking in these vacuous " STOP HATE " campaigns. As a long time independent democratic socialist I think if we really want to STOP HATE we will create a more just ANTI-CAPITALIST, ANTI-IMPERIALIST, ANTI-EXPLOITATION , ANTI-OPPRESSION , ANTI-POLICE BRUTALITY , ANTI-DEATH PENALTY social order. THAT and not unctuous preaching will STOP HATE .

New York City public hospitals overwhelmed by increase of migrants

The next wave of migrants to Oh-SO WELCOMING New York City could very well be from the ENDLESS WAR country that is Zionist APARTHEID Israel today . Disillusioned ZIONIST Jews ( some RETURNING to New York City! ). American Jewish historian Howard Zinn said that ZIONISM was a tragic mistake years ago. How can anybody live smugly in a very small country surrounded by well deserved hostility ? The sun is setting on Israeli Zionism ? And its Big Brother American Imperialism ? Isaac Asimov on Israel " [ “I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back. " ]

Cracking down on college protests | FOX 5 News

What British philosopher Bertrand Russell said about the cause of war and the ideal of SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM way back in 1915 is still pertinent today. Israeli ZIONISM is yet another form of toxic ethnocentric nationalism . All the bourgeois governments of Europe - turning a deaf ear to their own people-want to align themselves in moribund NATO against POST-COMMUNIST Russia. How many bourgeois or royalist governments were brought down after the first glorious " WAR TO MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY " ? How effective will stale Wilsonian blather be in exciting jackass war fever for nuclear World War III ? What if it inspires a second BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION in Russia ? Bertrand Russell on war : [ " It cannot be doubted that the desire on the part of the rich to distract men’s minds from the claims of social justice has been more or less unconsciously one of the motives leading to war in modern Europe. Everywhere the well-to-do and the political parties which represent their interests have been the chief agents in stirring up international hatred and in persuading the working man that his real enemy is the foreigner. Thus war, and the fear of war, has a double-effect in retarding social progress: it diminishes the resources available for improving the condition of the wage-earning classes, and it distracts men’s minds from the need and possibility of general improvement by persuading them that the way to better themselves is to injure their comrades in some other country. It is as a protest against this delusion that international socialism has arisen, and whatever may be thought of socialism as an economic doctrine, its internationalism makes it the sanest force in modern politics, and the only body which has preserved some degree of judgment and humanity in the present chaos." ]

My November 22, 1999 blog : " Congratulate China in Space "

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1999 Congratulate China in space Only a lunatic would want us to have an antagonistic relationship with China. Two billion people and now : China in Space ! " The spacecraft Shenzhou was launched yesterday " . Perhaps touching outer space will make " communist " China a more " spiritual "nation. China's civilization is so old that one day its 20th century history might seem just a nightmare aberration. The Old China must still be there -and the old Chinese Wisdom . I enjoyed reading Lin Yutang's book " The Importance of Living " - definitely pre-revolutionary Chinese thinking. No tolerance for life loving " scamps " in China today. Lin's book is just gathering dust in American public libraries today. Are any contemporary Chinese scholars familiar with this Chino-American scholar? I recall an old illustrated children's book : " The Five Chinese Brothers " . One of them "swallowed the sea" ! A metaphor for China's future appetite ?

Columbia Students Protest After Hundreds Arrested

I recall the drama of the GENERAL STUDENT STRIKE in the USA in 1970 over Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. History repeats itself ?

Mr. Netanyahu, do not insult the intelligence of the American people.

I voted for Bernie Sanders as the " lesser evil " in the Rhode Island Presidential Primary of April 2015. Bernie won shortly after his moving speech given at beautiful Roger Williams Park in Providence , Rhode Island to crowd estimated at some 7000. As a long time independent democratic socialist I think " socialist " Bernie only miserably compromised himself ( also enriched himself ? ) by trying to work on the fringe of WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. All that human energy for Bernie could have been directed toward the formation of an American Labor Party -a lot like the British Labor Party -just less stuffy and compromised. How many anti-ZIONISM Jews have too intimidated to voice their views on APARTHEID Israel ?

Morning News NOW Full Broadcast - April 26

Before he was disgraced and jailed as a sex predator, Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein told an adoring pro-Israel audience at the Simon Wiesenthal Center that Jews should " learn from the Mafia " how to deal with their enemies. They could have got the same advice from the now dead 100 year old ZIONIST Jew war criminal Henry Kissinger . Neither Biden nor Trump will make the world safe for PEACE !

How The Left Turned On The Jews

If you read American socialist writer Irving Howe's book " World of Our Fathers " , you will get a vivid picture of just how many intellectual and working class Jews for a good part of the 20th century gravitated toward socialist-communist political movements. In the past few decades it is not that the LEFT for mysterious reasons has turned anti-Semitic but that formerly LEFT leaning Jews have been corrupted by reactionary ZIONISM. The very idea of an ethnocentric state ( like APARTHEID Israel ) is a mockery even of bourgeois democracy. Was not the NAZI idea based on love of " blood and soil " ? ZIONIST Israel has corrupted the once sensitive and cosmopolitan Jewish social conscience. For example , here in the United States the once Trotskyist Socialist Workers for decades was firmly opposed to Zionism. A while back this now much decayed party suddenly embraced Zionism . Ironically, the very archives of their newspaper still named " The Militant " contradict its crackpot sectarian politics today. I read back in 1970 they were exposing the FASCIST Jewish Defense League! For them in 2024 the issue is NOT genocide in Gaza, Palestine but growing anti-Semitism in the United States. With Zionist APARTHEID Israel making itself the most hated country on the planet , of course, there will be more perceived " anti-Semitic incidents ". In no way can SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM today reconcile itself with RACIST Zionism. In fact ,years ago the United Nations condemned Zionism as a form of racism . By the way, Marxist historical materialism cannot explain the tragedy of the Jews ? Or is " Jew hatred " some weird virus in the brains of non-Jews- especially Christians - for some 2000 years ? Ordinary people resent being EXPLOITED and OPPRESSED and SWINDLED by anybody !

Students continue demonstrations on Brown's green

Local radio 630WPRO this morning ( April 27 ) reported that some college student had been suspended for a sign saying : " DEATH TO ZIONISM! ". The mainstream news media relentlessly reports ANTI-ZIONISM protests as " anti-SEMITIC incidents ". If BLACK LIVES MATTER rallies routinely feature Palestinian flag waving is that vile " Jew hatred " or just CLASS WAR politics ? Years ago the United Nations declared ZIONISM to be a form of racism . So why should " DEATH TO ZIONISM " be any more hate speech than " DEATH TO NAZISM " ? It does indeed seem that ZIONIST Jew censors in " OUR democracy " get to decide the parameters of " hate speech in " OUR democracy " . The WOKE DEMOCRATS among them never apply " Critical Race Theory " to APARTHEID Israel! I sent this text message to Gene Valicenti @630WPRO earlier this week .He read part of it on the air and then edited out the juice:" liberal Democrat ZIONIST Jews.".He replaced my own phrase with "fans". How odd! [ " TRUTH is catching up to NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO , NPR. For years it has been a virtual social club for secular liberal Democrat ZIONIST Jews. ". ] Some intimidation here ?

Student on divestment discussion: ‘All eyes are on Brown’s president’

I just caught this news article on the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE : [ "In spite of police assault and threats of expulsion, student-led encampments demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza have continued to spread on university campuses in the United States and internationally over the last 24 hours. As of this writing, over 40 college campuses across 22 states in the US have encampments or protests ongoing. " ] As a longtime independent democratic socialist I recall the relatively peaceful General Student Strike in 1970 protesting Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. Ultimately Nixon and American imperialism lost the Vietnam War. Today the sun is setting on American imperialism and Israeli Zionism together forever in crimes against humanity. But together they would start nuclear World War III with Iran and POST-COMMUNIST Russia- if WE THE PEOPLE let them . This much will not happen in the months ahead : THESE students will not be wearing VOTE BIDEN campaign buttons ! The Democratic Party is completely corrupt and decadent .

Robert Kraft to Hannity on the rise of antisemitism: 'It's very sad to me'

Harvey Weinstein exhorted his Jewish audience at the Simon Wiesenthal Center to " learn from the mafia " how to deal with enemies

Among the Jewish people it does seem that multi-millionaire ZIONIST Jews are most vociferous about insidious anti-Semitism. And the arrogant bullies among them intimidate ambitious Ivy League students : how their FREE SPEECH protest against Israeli genocide in GAZA Palestine will ruin their prospects for serious social climbing in Corporate America. To hell with social conscience ! NOTE this NEWS online :[ "Dec 3, 2020 — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft will not face criminal punishment, but the women he solicited have pleaded guilty to prostitution ..."] Before he was disgraced and jailed as a sex predator, Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein told an adoring pro-Israel audience at the Simon Wiesenthal Center that Jews should " learn from the Mafia " how to deal with their enemies. They could have got the same advice from the now dead 100 year old ZIONIST Jew war criminal Henry Kissinger . In general, it is ironic that belligerent ZIONIST Jews set themselves up as righteous judges and censors of HATE SPEECH in " OUR democracy ". The WOKE WARRIOR Zionists gravitate toward the " progressive " Democratic Party. Their Senate leader Chuck Schumer said a while back that he vows to be APARTHEID Israel's " guardian angel ". He could station himself on the Mexican border ! Our mainstream news media routinely suggests that Anti-Zionism IS anti-Semitism. It daily censors anti-war , anti-Zionism American public opinion. Even National Public Radio is shamelessly biased in reporting the news. It is a virtual social club for WOKE " liberal Democrat " Jews who are the very pillars of WOKE ideology that enrages so many working class and middle class Christians in the USA. Way back in 1965 Black Muslim Malcolm X was warning his Harlem audience that liberal Democrat Jews, always posing as friends of Black Americans, would betray them again and again. Malcolm reflected that he would be called anti-Semitic for voicing this truth . " But the truth is the truth ", he said.

All we are saying is give RFK Jr. a chance !

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think that former president Donald Trump's legal hell only confirms the traditional Marxist view of THE LAW. It invariably represents the sometimes contorted will of the national bourgeoisie . Presently there is an ideological BRAWL ( sometimes physical as on that Jan.6 " day of infamy " ) within the American plutocracy . There is a crisis in their TWO PARTY SYSTEM and they know it. WE THE PEOPLE need our own independent party , an American Labor Party , much like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised. For the present, INDEPENDENT presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the lesser of lesser evils; himself a true " Profile in Courage " smeared and blackballed in the mainstream news media. All we are saying is GIVE HIM A CHANCE !

How ironic that belligerent ZIONISTS set themselves up as the righteous judges and censors of " hate speech " , in general , of American public opinion . Not true ?

Trump gag order hearing | FOX 5 News

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I see this " Trump Trial Circus " confirmation of the Marxist theory of THE LAW in capitalist society . THE LAW is never above CLASS politics. And the JUST JUDGES are never above the influence of the American plutocracy . What has been going on in " OUR democracy " is an ideological BRAWL ( sometimes physical as on that Jan. 6 " day of infamy " ) within the plutocracy . There is a profound crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM . The complete meltdown approaches before Election Day 2024. On the whole the ZIONIST Jew political establishment ( mostly based in Joe Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ) has aligned itself against populist Republican Donald Trump. WE THE PEOPLE desperately need our own INDEPENDENT party . Like the British Labor Party only less stuffy and compromised. The lesser of lesser evils in 2024 presidential campaign USA is INDEPENDENT Robert F. Kennedy Jr.- himself a " Profile in Courage ". No surprise that he is daily blackballed, smeared, and maligned as a " crackpot " in the mainstream news media.

Matter is frozen light. A conversation with Rupert Sheldrake & Mark Vernon

Philosopher Rupert Sheldrake seems to think that modern science is mired in " materialism ". I know that IDEALIST philosophy is more favorable to religious faith ( the biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM. It was religious intolerance, making the state " officially atheist ". Nevertheless, the Marxist " fanatic " (? ) Lenin made a cogent case against IDEALIST philosophy in his now very obscure book titled " Materialism and Empiro Criticism ". Can this IDEALIST philosophy -even if it has certain metaphysical truth - lead to progress in practical science and technology ? And was Lenin right in associating it with a reactionary political outlook ? I found explanations of dialectical materialism very enlightening ( at some point ,for example, QUANTITY becomes QUALITY ) . But also enlightening are the classic Catholic theologians , Saint Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. I also understand why Aristotle ( a gifted biologist ) is getting more much deserved respect. I recall a humorous Catholic scholar on his local TV program saying that an " open mind " may not be more of an asset than " open mouth " - it must bite down on something and then assimilate it, connecting it with with well established knowledge. What I have found obnoxious for years now is the arrogant rudeness of the New Atheism movement. It seems to be promoted and patronized ( perhaps even funded ) by secular ZIONIST Jews with an unbalanced hatred for the Islamic faith. You will see what I mean if you read Christopher Hitchens nasty book titled : " God Is Not Great - how religions poisons everything ". Oddly enough, Hitchens started out as fanatic of Trotskyism . As a hopeless drunk ( scorned by leftist author Gore Vidal ) Hitchens later went over to American imperialism ( in Iraq ) and proudly ( he discovered a Jewish grandmother ! ) embraced Israeli Zionism. So clearly, militant atheism does not necessarily make you less muddle-headed as a HUMAN being. Even charlatan celebrity Christian fundamentalist preacher Joel Osteen gets some things right. Best wishes to philosopher Rupert Sheldrake !

Video Now: Brown students protest on campus

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I recall the drama of the GENERAL STUDENT STRIKE of 1970 in the United States protesting Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. Nixon lost. Vietnam won . Since when does the " FREE PALESTINE " refrain amount to vile " Jew hatred " ? I commend the Brown students of 2024 protesting Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine.

Pro-Palestinian protests sweep US college campuses

As a longtime independent democratic socialist recalling the General Student Strike of 1970 I was pleased to read that Brown University students in Providence Rhode Island are setting up PROTEST GAZA GENOCIDE tents on campus. Since when does the " FREE PALESTINE ! " refrain amount to vile " Jew hatred " ? The mainstream news media pays no attention to Jewish college students opposed to belligerent Zionism . If the late professor Howard Zinn , author of the popular history textbook " People's History of the United States ", were alive today , do you think he would applaud the police assault on FREE SPEECH rights ? ZIONIST Jews around the world who are vociferous supporters of the APARTHEID Israel together forever with American imperialism naturally will face a serious public relations problem. Their beloved Israel has made itself the most hated country on the planet . American imperialism can send BILLIONS to the likes of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and BILLIONS to the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in Ukraine , but it will never raise up enough ground combat troops to " pacify " any region of the planet. WORKING CLASS young people everywhere have no difficulty distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED. The student strike of 1970 protested Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. Recall that Nixon lost, Vietnam won !

Arrests as campus tensions boil over

Is it not ironic that belligerent ZIONIST Jews in " OUR democracy " should set themselves up as judges and censors of HATE SPEECH ? Just WHICH community are they protecting ? The mainstream news media daily censors anti-war , anti-Zionism public opinion. Are THEY preparing us to vote YES on nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia , with China, Iran, North Korea, even little Venezuela ? Americans imperialism daily WARNS this or that designated enemy not to cross this or that red line. It does seem that leaders of the UNFREE world do not measure up to the lofty idealism of Joe Biden & Son, of Donald Trump & Son in Law , of Bill and Hillary Clinton, of our CIA , FBI, DEEP STATE , Pentagon War Crimes Machine , Homeland Security ? " OUR democracy " is preparing yet another Great Crusade to save the FREE WORLD with bombs and blather , with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago ? Whenever I hear senile , corrupt old Joe Biden, the Conqueror of Afghanistan , say " DON'T ! " to the dastardly enemies of " OUR democracy " , my blood boils over with patriotic war fever. Does yours ?

Supreme Court appears open to allowing cities to fine homeless people

It is simply morally atrocious and ridiculous to FINE homeless people- all victims of the daily cruelty of the American capitalist system. As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think that the homeless crisis in the United States ( which now includes numerous homeless migrants ) is on collision course with landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. But even many of the " recognized " homeless people advocates are careful not to mention THE SYSTEM in detailing the condition of homeless people. We hear about how many MILLIONS our state of Rhode Island , for example, has spent so generously on the homeless. Let these obtuse bureaucrats itemize the money spent . Have a list of the NAMES of all the known homeless people in the state. How much funding was EACH given to ameliorate the misery of being homeless in heartless capitalist USA ? They must be expert witnesses to official embezzlement if nothing else !

See scene at Columbia University over the weekend as protests rock campus

I like what I read on the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE just now : " The World Socialist Web Site denounces the enormous escalation of state attacks on protesters, including the mass arrests at Columbia, Yale University and New York University, justified on the basis of lies and slander. We call for the broadest possible mobilization of the working class throughout the US and internationally to oppose this assault on democratic rights and to stop the genocide in Gaza. " There has been daily censorship of anti-war , anti-ZIONISM public opinion in the United States. You have no friends in President Joe Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party packed with smug and arrogant " friends of Israel ", of APARTHEID Israel led by the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu .

" ] UPDATE 2024 : The college students protesting Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine , should not be intimidated by ZIONIST Jew billionaires. There should be a general student strike to protest APARTHEID Israel's GENOCIDE in Gaza, Palestine . There was a general student strike in 1970 to protest Nixon's invasion of Cambodia in the Vietnam War . Nixon lost !

Prosecutors accuse Trump of criminal conspiracy in opening statements

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I can only view the many legal trials of former president Donald Trump with a sardonic laugh. It more than confirms the MARXIST view of BOURGEOIS LAW in capitalist USA. Neither THE LAW nor the JUST JUDGES are above the squalor of partisan politics. There has been going on for some time now an ideological BRAWL ( at times physical as on that Jan. 6th " day of infamy " ) within the American plutocracy . There is a deep crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM while in the bigger world the sun is setting on American imperialism and Israeli Zionism. Contrary to many souls on the Left , I see the greater threat of " It Can't Happen Here "Fascism coming from Joe Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. They have scorned the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization for decades now with their ideological reign of terror on working class ( non-college graduate ! ) CHRISTIANS . They are ironically like Stalinist Russia in wanting - so it seems - to make the state not neutral toward religion but implacably hostile toward it , to make it like the old Soviet Union " officially atheist ". And ZIONIST Israel has some ardent friends among the obnoxious New Atheists. Of course , they are closer to right wing philosopher Ayn Rand than to the Moses of the Old Testament. Not relying on Exodus ,Ayn Rand, a militant Zionist and author of " The Virtue of Selfishness " , just thought that the Palestinians were inferior to the Jewish settlers!

Columbia University rabbi tells Jewish students to leave campus amid pro...

The PRO-PALESTINE protests are about abominable genocide in Gaza, Palestine carried out by the Zionist APARTHEID state of Israel. Yet the mainstream news media in the United States would have Americans focus on mostly imagined or exaggerated anti-Semitism on college campuses. Long ago the United Nations condemned ZIONISM as a form of racism. Ironically the WOKE WARRIOR Zionist Jews entrenched in the Democratic Party never apply their " Critical Race Theory " to APARTHEID Israel. Daily equating anti-ZIONISM with anti-Semitism is a New York Times promoted BIG LIE. Ordinary working class people of all races and ethnic groups have no difficulty distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED. No puzzle why BLACK LIVES MATTER rallies in the USA feature Palestinian flag waving . Also , anti-war , anti -ZIONISM public opinion in " OUR democracy " is daily censored or REMOVED. It is Joe Biden's WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party that has betrayed again and again the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . As judges and censors of HATE SPEECH in the United Stated militant ZIONIST Jews are curiously problematic. NOTE : Just when and where and in what context were " participants caught on camera supporting violence toward Jewish students " ? Do these " intimidated " Jewish students SUPPORT genocide against Palestinians in Gaza ? Approve sending more BILLIONS of US taxpayer money to the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel ? As a longtime independent democratic socialist with memories still green of Vietnam War Protest days, I recall that there were often AGENT PROVOCATEURS in our peaceful protest crowds . This is all well documented in the archives of the still existing ( with some ironic changes ) Socialist Workers Party of the United States. TODAY the SWP is shamelessly PRO-ZIONIST ISRAEL . I wonder how that happened !

Conimicut Point in late April afternoon Sunday- a Poe-etic scene

Getting out of the black car in the video , I strolled to the beach sand at the edge of the water and took in the melancholy, abandoned-look panorama. Thinking the place could inspire a poem of desolation and loneliness. Frequent sad stories of drownings off the notorious sandbar, despite its WARNING sign.

Ukrainian President Zelensky praises House passage of aid

Ron Ruggieri American imperialism and Israeli Zionism together forever in crimes against humanity. BILLIONS of our tax payer money for the war criminal Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel ; BILLIONS in our tax payer money for the warmonger ,embezzler Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine. Ask working class and now " ruined by inflation " middle class Americans if they would vote YES for nuclear World War III ? While tens of thousands in the USA protest in the streets against genocide in Gaza, Palestine the mainstream new media would focus our concern on mostly exaggerated anti-Semitism on Ivy League college campuses. Anti-ZIONISM is falsely equated with anti-Semitism. A long time ago the United Nations condemned ZIONISM as a form of racism. No puzzle why BLACK LIVES MATTER rallies feature Palestinian flag waving. The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has definitely lost the vote and trust of the younger generation. Forget about recruiting them for another stupid and endless war in the Middle East. WOKE WARRIOR Zionists in the Democratic Party never apply their " Critical Race Theory " to Apartheid Israel. Here in Rhode Island our Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is an AUTHORITY voice of arrogant American imperialism and always showing obtuse understanding of working class Americans. Are the diehard FREINDS OF ISRAEL enough to get corrupt , senile Joe Biden re-elected in 2024 ?

to me

For reasons not at all clear the ZIONIST Jew controlled mainstream news media is implacably hostile to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. And yet Trump was very popular in APARTHEID Israel just a few years ago. Speaking as a longtime independent democratic socialist I think the New York City trial of Trump is a farce even of bourgeois LAW. The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party directed by belligerent ZIONIST Jews ( Senator Chuck Schumer said a while back that he wants to be " guardian angel " of APARTHEID Israel ) sees itself as fated to rally around corrupt, senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden . The mainstream news media, led by the New York Times, and his own administration packed with belligerent ZIONIST Jews ( longing for nuclear World WAR III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ) see Joe Biden as their proverbial useful idiot. Anti-war public opinion in " OUR democracy " confronts this irony . These belligerent ZIONIST Jews set themselves up as judges and censors of " hate speech " where anti-ZIONISM is always equated with anti-Semitism. Judging from my own REMOVED comments I think that "hate speech " for them is any idea or opinion that rubs them the wrong way. Call it arrogant CHUTZPAH. And 99 percent of the CHRISTIAN working class in the USA- a marginalized majority ! - would agree with me if only with a timid nod . Secular ZIONIST Jews, often connected with Ivy League academia, have afflicted an ideological WOKE reign of terror on CHRISTIANITY USA for decades now. The most ridiculous ideas promoted by the FAR RIGHT Republican Party is that all these WOKE WARRIOR Democrats have a sinister " socialist " agenda . The truth is that they are closer to FASCISM or to STALINISM ( without the socialism ) than to we democratic socialists. THEY will never " sell " World War III, with allies like the war criminal Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and the warmonger, embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine , to the CHRISTIAN working class in " OUR democracy ". Certainly not with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. VOTE YES for World War III ? Well then, either Trump or Biden will do as your great wartime leader. When Zionist APARTHEID Israel creates a stench in the world ( as presently with its genocide agenda in Gaza , Palestine ) it can count on loyal Hollywood ZIONISTS to produce yet another Holocaust movie. And while most of the American people are outraged over genocide in Gaza ,the morally obtuse mainstream news media - led by the New York Times - wants to focus on a mostly imagined rise in " anti-Semitism incidents " ( like pro-Palestine peace demonstrations ) . NOTE : I witnessed a small Pro-Palestine demonstration in Providence , Rhode Island in front of the downtown Textron building on April 15. The next day GO-LOCAL PROVIDENCE suggested that Providence Mayor Smiley ( for tolerating FREE SPEECH ! ) was countenancing vile anti-Semitism in his city . I shared a video " short " of the demonstration on You Tube. At no time did I hear any " anti-Semitic refrains " . I will share this post on my Radical Ron's Blog Spot ( 670,000 + views ) on my Facebook page ( 5000 friends ) and as a letter to the editor of the Providence Journal, the Boston Globe , the New York Times, and the New York Post . And more. The CENSORED posts get the most attention !

SCIENCE in ruins ?

[ But it is even worse than that: even assuming that all scientists were competent and honest, what is science for, exactly? Tom Murphy describes the situation in these terms: "Our society approves of these institutions and rewards its practitioners, in part based on the misguided notion that this is where solutions to our problems will originate. Instead, science/technology is far more likely to produce the seed corn for another generation of ecological destruction." And he is basically correct: science doesn't have a "soul." Without a soul, it is little more than a zombie that walks clumsily onward in search of brains to devour. Mostly, it is the brains of students and young researchers, but we all risk being devoured by the reckless attitude of scientists. Most of them seem to stop at nothing while trying to gain prestige and money from whatever they can sell to the public as a solution to the problems that they themselves created not long before.

I still think that, eventually, the zombies will not prevail and that the entity we call "science" will find its purpose again by returning to its origins, when it was called philosophy. It means "love for knowledge," and we could still recover this view. But it will take a long time and probably science will have to go through collapse before it can rebound and return in a new form. It is typical of complex systems. It is the way the universe renovates itself. And if the entire universe does that, it must be because it works well! ]

13 injured in Hezbollah attack on northern Israel

To any RATIONAL soul the conflicts between nation-states continued well into the 21st century are quite senseless. Science proved that the DNA of ALL human being is fundamentally alike and not much different from that of monkeys. The industry and much of the culture of all nation states is based on modern science and technology . Is it morally scandalous that a great nation like modern China can produce excellent steal and aluminum -just as the USA -and they want to sell it on the world market ? American imperialism commands China to " stop over-producing " ! Endless babble about the eternal right of Israel to EXIST ! What nation, calling itself DEMOCRATIC , on this planet has an exclusive ethno-centric foundation ? A JEWISH state is a mockery even bourgeois democracy ! Humane people protesting the genocide in Gaza, Palestine think that Israel should cease to exist as an APARTHEID abomination . What is anti-Semitic about that ?

Trump's history-making hush money trial starts Monday with jury selection

Not as a Trump fan, not as Biden fan, but as I long time independent democratic socialist, I think the Trump Trial is joke and a mockery of THE LAW. It proves what Marxists have said for years : in capitalist America THE LAW and those oh so JUST JUDGES are never above filthy politics. What is really going on now ,since 2016 , is an ideological BRAWL ( sometimes physical as on that January 6 " day of infamy " ) WITHIN the American ruling class. There is a profound crisis of THEIR TWO PARTY SYSTEM which could make the 2024 presidential election a horrendous meltdown Remember after the 2016 presidential election shockingly won by Donald Trump the mainstream news media never stopped smearing the election as a Russia-Collusion conspiracy. In fact it was at least as legitimate as Joe Biden's 2020 Election victory. We democratic socialists have always taught that ALL elections in capitalist America are rigged in favor of the plutocracy ( which always plays politics to win ) . Not for nothing THIRD PARTIES on the left or on the right do not stand a chance. For now I give critical support to that lesser of " lesser evils " Robert F. Kennedy Jr.- himself a true " Profile in Courage " blackballed and smeared by the mainstream news media.

BREAKING NEWS: Skies Above Jerusalem See Explosions After Iran Launches ...

Daily the strident voice of American imperialism WARNS Russia , WARNS China, WARNS Iran, WARNS North Korea , even WARNS Venezuela : " DO NOT CROSS ANY LINES SET BY THE RULING CAPITALIST CLASS OF THE UNITED STATES ". What WE THE PEOPLE actually think about Pentagon war plans seems beneath consideration. What matters is what ALL -AMERICAN MILITARISM -now directed by belligerent ZIONIST Jews - what THEY want ? No surprise that moribund American imperialism has a serious recruiting problem. Too many young people with sense do not picture themselves as unheroic cannon fodder for the likes of corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden , the Conqueror of Afghanistan ; the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHHEID Israel ; the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine. Stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago will not succeed now in arousing jackass war fever in a more and more cynical American population . Risk nuclear World War III to " fix " POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Nuts !

Rise in antisemitic incidents across U.S. and South Texas

" Anti-Semitic incidents " as defined and reported by a very pro-ZIONIST Israel news media are less than highly credible. I witnessed that PRO-PALESTINE demonstration in downtown Providence , Monday April 15 and made a brief video of it. The THEME of the protest circle in front of the Textron building was" STOP THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA". I heard no " antisemitic refrains". But headline in GO-LOCAL , PROVIDENCE ( Wednesday , April 17) : " Is Smiley Administration Adding to Anti-Semitism in Providence ". Rather biased , don't you think ? In general , the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " virtually defines anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism ". Humane people who think that yes, Israel should cease to exist AS AN APARTHEID STATE do not have demented visions of a Neo-Nazi fate for " THE JEWS " in our time. Way back in 1970 I recall SOCIALIST organizations, with a record of opposition to FASCISM, protesting Zionist APARTHEID Israel.

Pigeon lady in Kennedy Plaza. Brother Steve's observation , April , 7 2024

[Among Tesla’s quirks was his fondness for pigeons. When living in New York, he spent hours each week feeding pigeons in the park and routinely took home any that were injured so he could nurse them back to health. He often kept the windows open in the hotel suite in which he lived so pigeons could visit when they wished, resulting in a horrible mess. He once even asked a hotel chef to prepare a special mix of seeds for his feathered friends. Tesla’s acquaintances found his passion for pigeons puzzling because the inventor was a well-known germophobe. Tesla never married, but he admitted to falling in love with a very special white pigeon that visited him regularly. He reportedly said, “I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.”] Hi Ron, [ " Another excellent moment of "photojournalism"! I understand that many forms of animal life are 'drawn' to "spiritual-type" humans who possess a deep reverence for nature. This woman has that gift. So did St. Francis. And so did this woman (see attached photo) whom I photographed on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica back in the winter of 1999. "Feed the Birds", sung by Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins comes to mind. "] I have an amusing footnote to this video , Steve :

Malcom X said : " Let them call me anti-Semitic but the truth is the truth "

Has not nearly every prominent Black WOKE WARRIOR Democrat been sponsored mentored, patronized, promoted, and CONTROLLED by an inner circle of WOKE WARRIOR Democrat ZIONIST Jews ? Way back in 1965 Black Muslim Malcolm X warned his Harlem audiences to be cynical of the " friendship " of affluent " liberal " Jews. This is detailed in any number of Malcolm X biographies. Malcolm said : " Let them call me anti-Semitic but the truth is the truth ". Today anti-war public opinion in " OUR democracy " encounters this irony : belligerent ZIONIST Jews set themselves up as judges and censors of " hate speech " ( really meaning any ideas and opinions that rub them the wrong way ) . By the way , Malcom X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and American imperialism . My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood-sucker ! "

200 million working class Catholic- Christians on the brink of a moral - political epiphany: they are fed up with a decades long reign of ideological terror afflicted on them by WOKE WARRIOR Democrat secular, anti-Christian ZIONIST Jews. Who else do you think are the pillars of WOKE ideology in " OUR democracy " ? In our prestigious Ivy League universities saying that boys are boys and girls are girls is like George Orwell's character Winston Smith in the " 1984 " nightmare saying as a THOUGHT CRIME that 2+2 =4 when Big Brother knows better. The WOKE WARRIOR Democrats are much more like STALINISTS ( without the " socialism ) . For decades now they have turned away from the working class and even the fundamental principle of ANY democracy : MAJORITY RULE. Today they scorn the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. They would censor as deplorable " hate speech " CHRISTIAN teaching that is 2000 years old. Oddly enough, the WOKE WARRIOR Democrats are coming into conflict with SCIENCE as much as FAITH . Both SCIENCE and Catholic theology share a common belief in OBJECTIVE REALITY. Even as a socialist pacifist I can only wonder how believing in NOTHING but the MONEY GOD can inspire combat troops in any future war . In the past brave men would sacrifice their lives for their GOD , their FAMILY , their WOMEN and CHILDREN , their WAY OF LIFE , and THEIR land. . Today in " OUR democracy " they are asked to sacrifice their lives for HOLY WOKE ideals - like the Trans-Gender, LGBTQ Enlightenment . Under this banner they can certainly conquer Islam for the glory of " Greater Israel " !

NPR suspends editor who criticized network's liberal bias

NPR is a virtual social club for WOKE WARRIOR " liberal " Democrat ZIONIST Jews. National Public Radio has never ceased to be a pillar of American imperialism and Israeli Zionism. It is utterly out of touch with working class CHRISTIAN America -and utterly hostile to it. Anti-war public opinion in " OUR democracy " encounters this irony : belligerent ZIONIST Jews set themselves up as judges and censors of " hate speech " . My own experience of this suggests that " hate speech " for them is this : any ideas and opinions that rub them the wrong way. So " OUR democracy " really does need National Public Radio, don't we ? Any listeners who imagine that NPR promotes " socialism " is curiously deluded . There may be a few former socialists who betrayed the ideas and ideals of socialism a long, long time ago. They are now even tone deaf to the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . TURN NPR OFF !

There is an ideological brawl going on within the American plutocracy. Its ZIONIST Jew wing- backed by the mainstream news media led by the New York Times- is plainly out to " Get Trump ". Just ask celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz . There is a deadly serious crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM which could wreck the 2024 presidential election.

How many Hollywood film scripts show any really creative INDEPENDENT thinking , any serious social criticism that does not resonate with the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ?
