My comment published in " Watching America " on November 24, 2014 : " The Day John F. Kennedy Was Assassinated "

Ron Ruggieri November 24, 2014 at 7:38 pm I am a citizen of the United States and a registered Democrat in the state of Rhode Island, but more of a democratic Socialist. I note that the above commentary was posted on November 22, a very meaningful day here in America : The Day John F. Kennedy Was Assassinated . The JFK era also was ” Interesting Times in America “. The country was more optimistic back then, more idealistic. I think JFK shared FDR’s compassion for the poor. And his brother Robert-also assassinated – called poverty in America ” unacceptable.” The above commentary asks : ” Is the United States a democracy for the rich only, without the poor ? ” JFK said if we cannot help the many who are poor, we certainly can’t save the few who are rich “. Today I fear Ralph Nader is right about both Democrat and Republican parties being controlled by corporate America- the infamous ” ONE PERCENT “. I think MASS ACTION can transform the now decayed Democrat Party back into the socially progressive party of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Passionate reform is, of course, preferable to ugly-but inevitable- class struggle. It might be a good time for third parties here, progressive, liberal, socialist. Best wishes to all, from America.

Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg, Joe Biden Spar Over Democratic Socialism...

I had been a critical supporter of” socialist” Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. He has un-demonized the WORD socialism. But I must say that any hard-core SOCIALIST has no business showing any respect for capitalist values, including sacrosanct property rights or intellectual property rights. Most socialists- not recognized celebrities- want to abolish FOR PROFIT medicine, FOR PROFIT nursing homes and hospitals, FOR PROFIT pharmacies; they want to nationalize the banks, the energy companies, all the natural resources of the nation, want to abolish the whole capitalist class – with the exception of well scrutinized small business owners. Militant socialists have always questioned the legitimacy of legitimate wealth. This follows from Marx’s labor theory of value. A real socialist revolution in America would almost overnight abolish the whole legal system (yes, even the Supreme Court) and every individual connected with it. There will be a lot of judges, lawyers, cops, prison wardens and guards collecting unemployment benefits for more than 6 months. Everybody connected with advertising will simply be obsolete. There will be no legalized gambling or state lotteries. Even the present-day funeral industry will quickly disappear. Being buried soon after death will simply be a human right. What would a Bernie Sanders presidency be like? It would be a lot like liberal Hubert Humphrey in the White House. Expect no surprises from this” socialist” Democrat.

A turning point: The United States has, once again, warned Israel that it will lose its support in the U.N. if it persists in its refusal of a “two-state” solution. U.S. Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman announced the warning last Monday before an audience of American Jewish dignitaries. Before her on March 19, White House spokesman Josh Earnest made the same remarks. There is no doubt about it; the warning should be taken seriously.

The Last of the Mohicans - Promentory (Main Theme)

@mauricio1734 4 months ago [ "I'm 30 and I remember hearing this song and seeing the movie at a young age with my mom. I been through some difficult moments in my life where I felt that I just couldn't make it through. Family members passing away, divorce, depression, thoughts of suicide, failed relationships and broken dreams. I thought I was done for, but then I remembered this song and oh man, the POWER and PASSION that consumed me to keep fighting, to keep moving forward, to never give up.

Israel intensifies bombing in southern Lebanon | DW News

What popular science writer Isaac Asimov wrote about Israel years ago has -SADLY - stood the test of time: [“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. " ] It does look like American imperialism and Israeli Zionism are together forever in crimes against humanity. I doubt very much if the war criminal leader of APARTHEID Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the warmonger- embezzler leader of " Greater Israel " Ukraine, V. Zelensky, have endeared themselves to working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy ".

Never once did she complain or sound annoyed.

" The Apparition " - Weird Tale by Radical Ron

Weird Tale by Radical Ron The three young girls were always together. Sammy and Laurie were twins,age 7 and the youngest always with a winning smile, Victoria, just turned 5 . Fittingly her birthday was on Valentine's Day. They were so charming , thought Old Jake who made a living doing odd jobs in Pawtuxet Village. Today he was cleaning up the sidewalk in front of the Old Stone Bank. The girls, his sweethearts, often stopped to chat with him, a lonely middle aged man. This morning the three were on their way to St.Paul's Catholic School. To get there they usually cut across a wooded area by the dark waters of the river that flowed near Rhodes on the Pawtuxet, an old abandoned and some say haunted dance hall. In the past the eerie surroundings of the dance hall had been the scene of number of rape murders. Old Jake who was only 50 worried about them all time. " Why couldn't they get a ride to school like the others? " he asked. He knew the father was a drunk and the mother worked in the laundry. " Life is unjust ", thought Jake. This morning the girls startled him with a very strange tale: the Virgin Mary had appeared to them yesterday morning in the woods.It was a brilliantly sunny late September day. So maybe that explained the " ball of fire ". The Virgin spoke to them -of all things - about the BLOOD OF THE LAMB ." The holy sacrifice of the mass was really the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, " she said. The heavenly visitor told them just where to meet her this morning before they attended mass. The three sisters, Jake's sweethearts, were found dead in the Fay Field woods that afternoon by classmates and Sister Veronica. Their hearts had been cut out , their throats slit, and their blood poured into a strange copper bowl with ancient Greek designs on it.

With WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party rhetoric on defending " sovereign " democratic Ukraine , this crazed would be assassin of former president Donald Trump nearly deprived 75 million Republican American voters - more in 2024 ? - of the right to vote for THEIR ( ? ) candidate , Republican Donald Trump. Such is THE CHOICE in our diseased TWO PARTY SYSTEM . As a longtime independent democratic socialist , I think that sending BILLIONS of dollars of American tax payer money to the ZIONIST Jew warmonger, embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine is not less morally outrageous than keeping the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu , leader of APARTHEID Israel, as our dear ally " Bibi " . But vote YES for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Then either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will do ! Leave those guns at home, kindred spirits of Ryan Wesley Routh .

Frankenstein's Monster Meets Maria | Frankenstein (1931)

A path in the woods in Cranston to Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. A September Reverie .

Sep 16, 2024 A walk in the woods - here a wild place in the middle of Cranston, Rhode Island - always reminded me of something out of a Grimm's Brothers' fairy tale-like Hansel and Gretel . THE WOODS caught my imagination when I was a kid attracted to an eerie tree dense areas. Ma said that feeding the caged rabbits in a wooded area near the Valley View Housing Project in Providence made me late coming home from St. Edward's Catholic School where I must have learned my ABCs and the lost art of handwriting ( was it the Palmer Method ? ) And where I learned from the Baltimore Catechism : " Why God Made Me ".... " To know HIM , love HIM, and serve HIM in this world " The darker the path on a late sunny September afternoon the more I had visions of the Frankenstein monster following me. The fiend was going to get me and drown me in the murky Pawtuxet River. From the movie " A Curse of Frankenstein : " I will be with you on your wedding night ". I was safe when I made to the wooden bridge leading to the parking lot of Rhodes on the Pawtuxet . Thinking about the little girl THE MONSTER drowned. Walking on THE PATH this September afternoon. I play a You Tube recording of an old Sunday School song : " He's Got The Whole World In His Hands ". Well, I can HOPE , can't I ? But when I was kid the nuns at St. Edward's School told me all about our personal " guardian angels ". Today I suspect that they are unionized and frequently go on strike . If outside through the class window my first grade nun spotted a pretty tree covered with fall color- those red, orange, yellow leaves : " See what an artist God is ? " I can still see that ARTIST ! More vividly than the UNMOVED MOVER . " UNMOVED " in another sense ? NOTE : [ 'The answer to the question "Why did God make me?" from the old Baltimore Catechism is, "God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in the next".

Terrible transportation service for frail elderly in Rhode Island

Sep 17, 2024 I observed this feeble , certainly over 80 woman , eyes half shut , nearly crawling with a cane to the bus stop around 9:10 AM this morning . I thought the feeble ,slowly walking , very old lady would surely miss the coming RIPTA 30 bus. She just made it.. Boarding the bus she struggled to find her purse or her bus pass. I was hoping that the RIPTA bus driver -some of them are pretty rude and stupid - would not accelerate the bus while she made her way to the nearest seat. An accident waiting to happen on RIPTA buses - this brainless acceleration of the vehicle. . But the old woman remained up front holding on to the rail. I was certain she could only be going to the medical office building a little further up Cranston Street. But the bus driver would not stop at that building . He let this pathetic old lady off at the next bus stop at the corner of Park Ave. She got off. Looking out the bus window , I could see she was indeed heading for that medical building . Here in WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Rhode Island transportation for the elderly and disabled is a disgrace.

As a long time independent democratic socialist I can say that only willful ignorance of the " college educated " Americans and the mainstream news media conditioned, brainwashed ignorance of many working class people will see Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the whole crowd of WOKE WARRIOR Democrats as inspired by MARXIST ideas and with a semi-secret MARXIST program. Not even phony " socialist " Bernie Sanders has any " MARXIST " program that conflicts with pro American militarism, pro-capitalism, and pro-Israeli Zionism. To be sure , Marxist philosophy is still based on OBJECTIVE reality and on a scientific understanding of the Cosmos, Nature, and human society. What remains after nearly two centuries as highly questionable THEORY is still far superior to the crackpot ideology of Democratic Party neo-cons pretending to be " progressive " politicians. Dramatic climate change has a 4 billion year history . The " Global Warming " Earth today was once " Snowball Earth " with no human beings around to mess up the planet. But it is true that global capitalism is now definitely poisoning the planet for US , homo sapiens , the human species. It is muddle headed to think that capitalist governments around the world can check environmental threats by ORDERING the capitalist class to put PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS . Nature can be cruelly indifferent. But our ruling classes are now downright EVIL! In Red State Rhode Island voters are told to put their faith in WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse to save both the planet and social security (add the gloomy right to abortion ) . An American Labor Party would be a safer " investment " for working class people here in Rhode Island than Senator Whitehouse and his ilk .

Antisemitism: An Analysis | Philosophy Tube

Does any analysis of " anti-Semitism " take into consideration the crimes against humanity in Gaza, Palestine presently and many more committed by the Zionist APARTHEID Israel since its beginning in 1948 ? And does the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu think he is assuring " NEVER AGAIN " ? How many Jewish psychiatrists think outside the box of pro-capitalism, pro -American militarism, and pro-Israeli Zionism ? And is SOCIALISM and socialist internationalism somehow anti-Semitic ? Is not the very idea of a JEWISH state contrary even to bourgeois democracy ? Is not the whole world getting sick of the Middle East and its eternal conflicts ? Should working class -mostly CHRISTIAN -American soldiers risk their lives for the ZIONIST Jew warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? Whatever anti-Semitism that still exists in the past 70 years has little to do with Dark Age ignorance and superstition. Most " educated " ZIONIST Jews see CHRISTIAN Zionists as proverbial useful idiots . They are closer in their world view to the right wing crank philosopher and belligerent ZIONIST Jew atheist Ayn Rand , author or the popular book " The Virtue of Selfishness " . Do politically literate ZIONIST Jews have any response to my post here besides " REMOVE" ? Reply

Working class Americans are just beginning to see how ZIONIST Jew control of the mainstream news media ( is this FACT anti-Semitic ? ) daily censors TRUTH about nearly every significant happening in the world. And our TWO PARTY SYSTEM politicians never think outside the box of pro-militarism, pro-capitalism, and pro-Zionism. On this business of WAR there is not much difference between Donald Trump Republicans and Kamala Harris WOKE WARRIOR Democrats . Rather than let readers THINK about our Ideas & Opinions the ZIONIST Jew censors just REMOVE them and call them " hate speech " . Can YOU reader THINK FOR YOURSELF ? Do you need THEIR protection from " misinformation " or even real " hate speech " ? Nothing hateful about Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine and nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ?

Ryan Wesley Routh: What we know about Trump shooting suspect

A long time ago when I was a very young man in the " Tumultuous Sixties " I read a book that impressed me very much in explaining the the SICK society as a breeder of sick and violent individuals . The author was the socialist humanist German-American psychiatrist Erich Fromm . That book was titled " The Sane Society " . Back then it was better inspiration for the New Left than Chairman Mao's " Little Red Book ". For nearly 50 years the younger generations in " OUR Democracy " seem more inspired by right wing reactionary author Ayn Rand and her best seller " The Virtue of Selfishness " . No surprise that decaying capitalism breeds the " Culture of Narcissism " . What can be more narcissistic than thinking ( as do most political assassins like Marxist ( ? ) Lee Harvey Oswald ) that you can change the world by eliminating a mere individual ? The great Russian novelist Dostoyevsky understood the soul sick " noble assassin " in books like " Crime and Punishment " and " The Possessed ". The Nobel Prize winning French writer Albert Camus had a more sober view of political violence in " The Rebel ". Camus thought : " In fighting our enemies let us not come to resemble them " . I recall one radical left wing writer declaring that " ideas are all powerful ." But not if nobody is listening . He meant CORRECT ideas, of course.

@ErsatzMcGuffin 15 minutes ago Ronruggier, you and I are about the same age. Imagine how Roger Williams must feel! Personally I don't think change is bad thing. Many, no ALL of the textile mills moved away. They didn't want to pay a fair wage. They were also afraid of unions. Sorta un-American, IMHO First they moved to the south & then they just kept on going south right out of the country. Loyalty was a foreign concept to them, I guess...not for me and many other Rhodies. Without a sound industrial base our state did flounder for a while. "You can't put your hand in same river twice" Change is inevitable but nostalgia is forever. I too miss the old days when movies were shown in really cool theaters or hanging out at the Pink Elephant or Ted's Big Boy on the East Side was a what to do or just simply go to the drive-in.

Video Now: Majority leader Chuck Schumer says Trump's administration wil...

WOKE WARRIOR, Democratic Party Senate leader Chuck Schumer said a while back that HE wants to be " guardian angel " of Zionist APARTHEID Israel. The notion that the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party functions on higher moral ground than MAGA Republican Donald Trump, and his following of white working class CHRISTIAN " deplorables " , is fatuously false. Also , note that there is not now one Pro-World Peace , Anti-War voice in the degenerate " progressive " Democratic Party. For years now the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has promoted not only WOKE ideology lunacy but also the HATE RUSSIA, LOVE APARTHEID Israel, New McCarthyism . So vote APPROVE ( for them ) on Election Day 2024 ? [To be sure , a Jewish STATE , especially APARTHEID Israel , is a mockery even of bourgeois democracy . Anti-Zionist Jews who understand this are muzzled by the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " and blackballed by a seeming majority of ZIONIST Jews. Two generations ago many Jewish intellectuals gravitated toward socialist and communist parties ( read socialist author Irving Howe's book " World of Our Fathers ") . Many Jewish leaders today are belligerent neo-cons mostly entrenched in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. I suspect that a significant number of ZIONIST Jews are about to abandon the Democratic Party and ally themselves with Trump's more boldly right wing Republican Party.]

Action News anchor Brian Taff's full interview with VP Kamala Harris

From my longtime independent democratic socialist point of view , anybody who can listen to either WOKE WARRIOR Democrat , Kamala Harris , or MAGA Republican, Donald Trump, for more than a minute is a political lost soul - lost for any truly " progressive " political movement. Not one American politician holding national or state office, attached to the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM, can or will think outside the box of pro- American militarism, pro-world capitalism , and pro- Israeli Zionism. And it is historically unprecedented in the past 100 years that there is no PRO- WORLD PEACE , ANTI-WAR wing of the Democratic Party. Backed by the mainstream news media this party, the party of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, has promoted the HATE RUSSIA, LOVE APARTHEID ISRAEL New McCarthyism for years now. Can stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago arouse jackass war fever among working class and middle class Americans ? Afflicted by all sorts of social and economic misery they can still be " sold " nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia all over " Greater Israel " Ukraine led by the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky ? The other dear ally in any " crackpot realism " plans for nuclear World War III is Zionist APARTHEID Israel, led by the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu . How many working class CHRISTIAN youth in " OUR democracy " can actually be recruited for the insanity of another world war ? NOTE : Still US president Joe Biden said that if he were a Jew , of course, he would be a ZIONIST Jew. Democrat Senate leader Chuck Schumer said a while back that HE wants to be " guardian angel " of APARTHEID Israel. What WE THE PEOPLE think does not matter in the war plans of " Deep State " , in " OUR democracy " USA ! But don't forget to vote on Election Day 2024. But for what ?

After his meeting with Starmer, Biden was directly asked by a reporter, “What do you say to Vladimir Putin’s threat of war?” With staggering arrogance, Biden barked, “Be quiet.” These words were directed to the press, but it was a threat to the entire population: Don’t question us. Asked the same question again, Biden replied, “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin,” before White House staff loudly ushered the press out of the room. The US and UK are preparing to take a decision that threatens to lead to a full-scale war between nuclear-armed states. Even if it does not start with nuclear weapons, the consequences are enormous. " ] Who do you hand the nuclear codes ? A " crackpot realist " militarist who though quite " sane " can not and will not think outside the box of Pro-American militarism, pro-world capitalism, and pro-Israeli Zionism ? As a longtime independent democratic socialist I just say no to the insanity of war.

Attorney General Garland responded to Republican attacks against DOJ

This WOKE WARRIOR Democrat , ZIONIST Jew Attorney General of the United States , Merrick Garland, has been rightly condemned by Catholic Church groups as a major threat to freedom of religion in " OUR democracy ". In general , his anti-CHRISTIAN bias in office is very well documented. I do not speak as a Trump fan , as a MAGA hat Republican. I speak as a long time independent democratic socialist.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Absolutely Unloads On ABC Over Presidential Debate ...

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I am puzzled why Republican Donald Trump - very pro APARTHEID Israel, pro-Netanyahu- never spells out the social identity of the " FAKE NEWS mainstream news media . Ironically in " OUR democracy " this news media is dominated by very pro- APARTHEID Israel ( perhaps anti-Netanyahu ) belligerent Zionists. For whatever reasons ( like a long time ideological brawl within the American ruling capitalist class ) they hate or don't trust Donald Trump. But also, they daily censor anti-war, anti-ZIONISM American public opinion. The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden is , in fact , a greater threat for FASCISM here in America than Trump and his Republican and white working class CHRISTIAN " deplorables ". What is being censored in " OUR democracy " are Ideas & Opinions branded as " hate speech ". It is a decades long betrayal of the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . Who among working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " supports Israeli genocide in Gaza , Palestine ? Who among us supports nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia over " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? What is historically unprecedented is the absence of a single ANTI-WAR voice for decades now in the " progressive " Democratic Party. This will be a BIG FACTOR in the 2024 presidential election.

Preface to Engels " Dialects of Nature "

Preface

MARXISM has a two-fold bearing on science. In the first place Marxists study science among other human activities. They show how the scientific activities of any society depend on its changing needs, and so in the long run on its productive methods, and how science changes the productive methods, and therefore the whole society. This analysis is needed for any scientific approach to history, and even non-Marxists are now accepting parts of it. But secondly Marx and Engels were not content to analyse the changes in society. In dialectics they saw the science of the general laws of change, not only in society and in human thought, but in the external world which is mirrored by human thought. That is to say it can be applied to problems of "pure" science as well as to the social relations of science.

Scientists are becoming familiar with the application of Marxist ideas to the place of science in society. Some accept it in whole or in part, others fight against it vigorously, and say that they are pursuing pure knowledge for its own sake. But many of them are unaware that Marxism has any bearing on scientific problems considered out of their relation to society, for example to the problems of tautomerism in chemistry or individuality in biology. And certain Marxists are inclined to regard the study of such scientific and philosophical problems as unimportant. Yet they have before them the example of Lenin. In 1905 the Russian Revolution had failed. It was necessary to build up the revolutionary movement afresh. Lenin saw that this could only be done on a sound theoretical basis. So he wrote Materialism and Empirio- criticism. This involved a study, not only of philosophers such as Mach and Pearson, whom he criticised, but of physicists such as Hertz, J. J. Thomson, and Becquerel, whose discoveries could be interpreted from a materialistic or an idealistic point of view. However, Lenin did not attempt to cover the whole of science. He was mainly concerned with the revolution in physics which was then in progress, and had little to say on astronomy, geology, chemistry, or biology.

But thirty years before Lenin, Engels had tried to discuss the whole of science from a Marxist standpoint. He had always been a student of science. Since 1861 he had been in close touch with the chemist Schorlemmer at Manchester, and had discussed scientific problems with him and Marx for many years. In 1871 he came to London, and started reading scientific books and journals on a large scale. He intended to write a great book to show "that in nature the same dialectical laws of movement are carried out in the confusion of its countless changes, as also govern the apparent contingency of events in history." If this book had been written, it would have been of immense importance for the development of science.

But apart from political work, other intellectual tasks lay before Engels. Dühring had to be answered, and perhaps Anti-Dühring, which covers the whole field of human knowledge, is a greater book than Dialectics of Nature would have been had Engels completed it. After Marx's death in 1883 he had the gigantic task of editing and completing Capital, besides which he wrote Feuerbach and The Origin of the Family. So Dialectics of Nature was never finished. The manuscript consists of four bundles, all in Engels' handwriting, save for a number of quotations from Greek philosophers in that of Marx. Part of the manuscript is ready for publication, though, as we shall see, it would almost certainly have been revised. Much of it merely consists of rough notes, which Engels hoped to work up later. They are often hard to read, and full of abbreviations, e.g. Mag. for magnet and magnetism. There are occasional scribbles and sketches in the margin. Finally, although the bulk of the manuscript is in German, Engels thought equally well in English and French, and occasionally produced a hybrid sentence, such as "Wenn Coulomb von particles of electricity spricht, which repel each other inversely as the square of the distance, so nimmt Thomson das ruhig hin als bewiesen." Or "In der heutigen Gesellschaft, dans le méchanisme civilisé, herrscht duplicité d'action, contrariété de l'interêt individuel avec le collectif; es ist une queue universelle des individus contre les masses." The translation has been a very difficult task, and the order of the different parts is somewhat uncertain.

Most of the manuscript seems to have been written between 1872 and 1882, that is to say it refers to the science of sixty years ago. Hence it is often hard to follow if one does not know the history of the scientific practice and theory of that time. The idea of what is now called the conservation of energy was beginning to permeate physics, chemistry, and biology. But it was still very incompletely realised, and still more incompletely applied. Words such as "force," "motion," and "vis viva" were used where we should now speak of energy. The essays on "Basic forms of motion," "The measure of motion - work," and "Heat" are largely concerned with the controversies which arose from incomplete or faulty theories about energy. They are interesting as showing how ideas on this subject developed, and how Engels tackled the controversies of his day. However many of these controversies are now settled. The expression vis viva is no longer used for double the kinetic energy, and "force" has acquired a definite meaning in physics. Engels would not have published them in their present form, if only because, in the later essay on tidal friction, he uses a more modern terminology. Their interest lies not so much in their detailed criticism of theories, many of which have ceased to be of importance, but in showing how Engels grappled with intellectual problems. The essay on electricity "dates" even more. As a criticism of Wiedemann's inconsistencies it is interesting, and it ends with a plea for a closer investigation of the connection between chemical and electrical action, which, as Engels said, "will lead to important results in both spheres of investigation." This prophecy has, of course, been amply fulfilled. Arrhenius' ionic theory has transformed chemistry, and Thomson's electron theory has revolutionised physics. Here again, the manuscript would certainly have been revised before publication. In a letter to Marx on November 23rd, 1882, he points out that Siemens, in his presidential address to the British Association, has defined a new unit, that of electric power, the Watt, which is proportional to the resistance multiplied by the square of the current whereas the electromotive force is proportional to the resistance multiplied by the current. He compares these with the expressions for momentum and energy, discussed in the essay on "The measure of motion - work," and points out that in each case we have simple proportionality (momentum as velocity and electromotive force as current) when we are not dealing with transformation of one form of energy into another. But when the energy is transformed into heat or work the correct value is found by squaring the velocity or current. "So it is a general law of motion which I was the first to formulate." We can now see why this is so. The momentum and the electromotive force, having directions, are reversed when the speed and current are reversed. But the energy remains unaltered. So the speed or the current must come into the formula as the square (or some even power) since (-x) 2 = x2.

In the essay on " Tidal friction," Engels made a serious mistake, or more accurately a mistake which would have been serious had he published it. But I very much doubt whether he would have done so. In the manuscript notes for Anti-Dühring,[1] he supported the view, quite commonly held in the nineteenth century, that we find truths such as mathematical axioms self-evident because our ancestors have been convinced of their validity, while they would not appear self-evident to a Bushman or Australian black. Now this view is almost certainly incorrect, and Engels presumably saw the fallacy, and did not have it printed. I have little doubt that either he or one of his scientific friends such as Schorlemmer would have detected the mistake in the essay on "Tidal friction." But even as a mistake it is interesting, because it is one of the mistakes which lead to a correct result (namely that the day would shorten even if there were no oceans) by incorrect reasoning. Such mistakes have been extremely fruitful in the history of science.

Elsewhere there are statements which are certainly untrue, for example in the sections on stars and Protozoa. But here Engels cannot be blamed for following some of the best astronomers and zoologists of his day. The technical improvement of the telescope and microscope has of course led to great increases in our knowledge here in the last sixty years.

On the other hand, Engels' remarks on the differential calculus, though inapplicable to that branch of mathematics as now taught, were correct in his own day, and for some time after. He points out that it actually developed by contradiction, and is none the worse for that. To-day "rigorous" proofs are given of many of the theorems to which he refers, and some mathematicians claim to have eliminated the contradictions. Actually they have only pushed the contradictions into the background, where they remain in the field of mathematical logic. Not only has every effort to deduce all mathematics from a set of axioms, and rules for applying them, failed, but Gödel has proved that they must fail. So the fact that the calculus can be taught without involving the particular contradictions mentioned by Engels in no way impugns the validity of his dialectical argument.

When all such criticisms have been made, it is astonishing how Engels anticipated the progress of science in the sixty years which have elapsed since he wrote. He certainly did not like the atomic theory of electricity, which held sway from 1900 to 1930, and until it turned out that the electron behaved not only like a particle but like a system of moving waves he might well have been thought to have "backed the wrong horse." His insistence that life is the characteristic mode of behaviour of proteins appeared to be very one-sided to most biochemists since every cell contains many other complicated organ substances besides proteins. Only in the last four years has it turned out that certain pure proteins do exhibit one of the most essential features of living things, reproducing themselves in a variety of environments.

While we can everywhere study Engels' method of thinking with advantage, I believe that the sections of the book which deal with biology are the most immediately valuable to scientists to-day. This may of course be because as a biologist I can detect subtleties of Engels' thought which I have missed in the physical sections. It may be because biology has undergone less spectacular changes than physics in the last two generations.

In order to help readers to follow the development of science since Engels' time, I have added some notes. A few readers may object to my pointing out that Engels was occasionally wrong. Engels would not have objected. He was well aware that he was not infallible, and that the Labour Movement wants no popes or inspired scriptures. The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844, of which an English translation had been published in America in 1885, was first published in England in 1892. In his preface written after forty-eight years he says:

"I have taken great care not to strike out of the text the many prophecies, amongst others that of an imminent social revolution in England, which my youthful ardour induced me to venture upon. The wonder is, not that a good many of them proved wrong, but that so many of them have proved right."

I think that readers of Dialectics of Nature will come to a similar conclusion.

I have not yet mentioned the sections on the history of science. These are among the most brilliant passages in the whole book, but they represent a line of thought which was followed by Marx and Engels in many of their books and which has since been developed by others, so most readers will find them less novel. Finally, there is the delightful essay on "Scientific research into the spirit world." There is a tendency among materialists to neglect the problems here dealt with. It is worthwhile noticing that Engels did not do so. On the contrary he produced a number of phenomena which were regarded as "occult" and mysterious in his day, and arrived at the same conclusions as most scientific investigators in this field have reached, provided that, like Engels, they brought to their work robust common sense, and also a sense of humour.

It was a great misfortune, not only for Marxism, but for all branches of natural science, that Bernstein, into whose hands the manuscript came when Engels died in 1895, did not publish it. In 1924 he submitted it (or part of it) to Einstein, who, though he did not think it of great interest from the standpoint of modern physics, was on the whole in favour of publication. If, as seems likely, Einstein only saw the essay on electricity, his hesitation can easily be understood, since this deals almost wholly with questions which now seem remote. The manuscript was first edited by Riazanov, and printed in 1927. However, Adoratski's edition of 1935 is more satisfactory, as several passages which made nonsense in the earlier edition have now been deciphered.

Had Engels' method of thinking been more familiar, the transformations of our ideas on physics which have occurred during the last thirty years would have been smoother. Had his remarks on Darwinism been generally known, I for one would have been saved a certain amount of muddled thinking. I therefore welcome wholeheartedly the publication of an English translation of Dialectics of Nature, and hope that future generations of scientists will find that it helps them to elasticity of thought.

But it must not be thought that Dialectics of Nature is only of interest to scientists. Any educated person, and, above all, anyone who is a student of philosophy, will find much to interest him or her throughout the book, though particularly in Chapters I, II, VII, IX, and X. One reason why Engels was such a great writer is that he was probably the most widely educated man of his day. Not only had he a profound knowledge of economics and history, but he knew enough to discuss the meaning of an obscure Latin phrase concerning Roman marriage law, or the processes taking place when a piece of impure zinc was dipped into sulphuric acid. And he contrived to accumulate this immense knowledge, not by leading a life of cloistered learning, but while playing an active part in politics, running a business, and even fox-hunting!

He needed this knowledge because dialectical materialism, the philosophy which, along with Marx, he founded, is not merely a philosophy of history, but a philosophy which illuminates all events whatever, from the falling of a stone to a poet's imaginings. And it lays particular emphasis on the inter-connection of all processes, and the artificial character of the distinctions which men have drawn, not merely between vertebrates and invertebrates or liquids and gases, but between the different fields of human knowledge such as economics, history, and natural science.

Chapter II contains an outline of this philosophy in its relation to natural science. A very careful and condensed summary of it is given in Chapter IV of the History of the C.P.S.U.(B), but the main sources for its study are Engels' Feuerbach and Anti-Dühring, Lenin's Materialism and Empirio-criticism, and a number of passages in the works of Marx. Just because it is a living philosophy with innumerable concrete applications its full power and importance can only be gradually understood, when we see it applied to history, science, or whatever field of study interests us most. For this reason a reader whose concern lies primarily in the political or economic field will come back to his main interest a better dialectical materialist, and therefore a clearer-sighted politician or economist, after studying how Engels applied Dialectics to Nature.

At the present moment, clear thinking is vitally necessary if we are to understand the extremely complicated situation in which the whole human race, and our own nation in particular, is placed, and to see the way out of it to a better world. A study of Engels will warn us against some of the facile solutions which are put forward to-day, and help us to play an intelligent and courageous part in the great events of our own time.

November, 1939.


How famous horror writer H.P. Lovecraft was trying to lose weight in 1925.

[ "But my most spectacular feat of the season is reducing. You know how fat I was in 1923, and how bitterly I resented the circumstance. In 1924 I grew even worse, till finally I had to adopt a #16 collar! Dur¬ ing the combined period of my wife’s hospital sojourn and my Philadel¬ phia trip, I had the opportunity of regulating my own diet for the first time in my entire career—eating just as much as I wanted, rather than as much as someone else thought I ought to have. Upon the close of this period I had thinned perceptibly, returning to a 15% collar.I don’t know how much I lost, for after passing the one hundred ninetythree mark on the upward course a year before, I had refused to mount a pair of scales! During the winter I kept a sterner guard of my diet, and managed not to regain the tonnage I had lost—and then, when in January I became absolute autocrat of my breakfast, dinner, and supper table, I flung my hat in the air—or ring—and started reducing in ear¬ nest!! And I didn’t even need to be fat at all! It was all the result of acquiescing spinelessly in the dicta of one’s solicitous family! How the pounds flew! I helped the course along by exercise and outdoor walks, and every time my friends saw me they were either pleased or fright¬ ened at the startling shrinkage. Fortunately I had not been fat for so many years that the skin must needs suffer radical distension. Instead, it shrunk neatly along with the tissue beneath, leaving a firm surface and simply restoring the lost outlines of 1915 and before. And what a story the scales and my clothing told! The latter had to be thoroughly re-tai¬ lored, whilst every week I bought smaller and smaller collars. It was dramatic—breathless—sensational—this reclamation of a decade-lost statue from the vile mud which had so long encrusted it. As you may imagine, my wife protested fearfully at what seemed an alarming de¬ cline. I received long scolding letters from my aunts, and was lectured severely by Mrs. Long every time I went up to see Little Belknap. But I knew what I was doing, and kept on like grim death. I had simply changed my dietetic standard to the normal, and—as I hope—perma¬ nently broken the fat-accumulating tendency. When I had condensed to my old pre-war figure, I ceased to apply the extremes of my method— yet not only did I escape a subsequent increase, but have even lost nine additional pounds—this last year without even trying.

Why did the ZIONIST Jew censorship scratch over my words below ?
A real democratic socialist unlike phony " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders - would condemn the entire system of FOR PROFIT medicine in capitalist USA. He or she would also think and speak outside the box of pro-CAPITALISM, pro-MILITARISM, and pro-ZIONISM so unlike " socialist " Bernie Sanders He or she would not talk about SOCIALISM as if it were all tied up with the " Second Coming Christ ". Real SOCIALISM would begin to realize socialist-humanist American psychiatrist Erich Fromm's vision of " The Sane Society " . OBAMA CARE in the beginning was puffed up as realizing the late Senator Ted Kennedy vision ( sincere or insincere ) of health care in " OUR democracy " as a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT . Does health care in the USA today bear any resemblance to THE DREAM ? But there is still hope - just vote for WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Kamala Harris ! Save " OUR democracy " from its arch foe MAD MAGA Republican Donald Trump ! Were it that simple .

DHS supervisor, daughter accused in $191K SNAP benefits fraud scheme

Just about anybody who ever inquired about the fairness of his or her SNAP benefits quickly discovers how the responsible state offices cunningly make themselves almost inaccessible to the hoi polloi public. Like HOURS holding the phone ! This is not easily explained by : " We decent , hard working state employees are just so impossibly BUSY ! " A politically literate citizen might easily conclude that Karl Marx was right about THE STATE being above THE PEOPLE , alien to THE PEOPLE , and hostile to THE PEOPLE. From there he might be led by inquiry serendipity to V.I. Lenin's tract : " The State and Revolution ". And from there even to more dangerous THOUGHT CRIME ! Not true ? Well stop making yourselves so infuriatingly inaccessible !

Lion cub grew up with dog from childhood and now they are inseparable

I have the greatest respect for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution - long since on a scientific basis. But I suspect that in some way complex animal behavior - showing INTELLIGENCE and EMOTION way beyond survival instincts- is more than YES or NO DNA programming even after millions of years of species development . These " instincts " seem more sophisticated than any learned behavior possible for the mammalian brain. Even with ants and bees THE GROUP is invariably smarter than the hapless or clueless individual. Just a speculation : Could there be an UNSEEN MIND & HEART behind the visible , sensible ( even with complex instruments ) Universe ? Was Science too arrogant in expelling God from " Creation " ? I do not pretend to know . But I cannot laugh at the more honest creationists . Beware of numerous charlatans , of course !

LIVE Monologue: Harris Gets Under Trump's Skin | Eating Cats And Dogs | ...

Long ago left wing American sociologist C. Wright Mills explained the role " celebrity " plays in corrupting public opinion in the interests of the " Power Elite ", the capitalist ruling class. The mainstream news media clearly favors WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Kamala Harris ( ALL candidates for them must pass the " Love APARTHEID Israel " test ) and they hardly respect the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization in covering right-wing blowhard Donald Trump ( also a passionate friend of APARTHEID Israel ) or in covering American public opinion not in agreement with their own political narrative and agenda . ANTI-WAR , ANTI-ZIONISM American public opinion is routinely blocked or censored in " OUR democracy " which Kamala Harris promises to protect against its arch-villain Donald Trump. No surprise if ALL of WOKE Hollywood rallies behind Kamala Harris. The movie " Election 2024 " could very well be a Harvey Weinstein production

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I was not even interested in suffering through this sure to be annoying presidential debate. What I learned about it on local Channel 10 News here in Rhode Island ( I can take just about the first minute of it ) confirmed my belief that our mainstream news media overwhelmingly supports WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Kamala Harris having diligently deconstructed her past after corrupt , senile Joe Biden bowed out. In general ,the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM is now completely removed from the concerns of working class Americans : Is there a VOICE FOR PEACE in the WOKE WARRIOR party of Democrat Kamala Harris ? In fact, is there any " progressive " party member ( even falsely described as " socialist " ) who can or will think outside the box of pro-militarism, pro-capitalism , pro-Zionism ? To be sure, right wing blowhard Donald Trump is less of the FASCIST threat to " OUR democracy " than WOKE WARRIOR Kamala Harris - but not much less . So you are still " free " to vote for nuclear World War III against POST-COMMUNIST Russia, China, Iran , and North Korea ( all these countries are daily sternly WARNED by American imperialism ) . Just vote for either Trump or Harris. But it might just be morally saner not to vote at all, to stay home on Election Day 2024.

ABC News debate moderator found to be most ‘pro-Harris’ newscast in new ...

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I intend to READ about this debate hours after it ends. The essence of the conflict between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is nothing more than an ideological brawl l within the American ruling class. You will never find a viable candidate in either party who can or will think outside the box of PRO- CAPITALISM, PRO MILITARISM , and PRO ZIONISM. For Donald Trump to see shades of Marxism in Kamala Harris is ridiculous. For Harris to imagine that Trump is enemy numero- uno of " OUR democracy " is also ridiculous. For years now the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has promoted the HATE RUSSIA, LOVE APARTHEID Israel ( for better or worse ) New McCarthyism . And it shows complete contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. And in this country of some 200 MILLION Christians it has a sardonic attitude toward God and religion. To be sure , right-wing blowhard Donald Trump seems right out of central casting for a movie titled after the Sinclair Lewis novel: " It Can't Happen Here " . But I see the WOKE WARROR Democratic Party as closer to American fascism than Trump and and his working class " deplorables " misguided by endless betrayals of a now very undemocratic Democratic Party. It is also very obvious that the main stream news media supports Kamala Harris and routinely censors not hate speech but IDEAS & OPINIONS that disagree with its own political narrative. Do you wish to vote YES for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia , Islamic Iran and " communist " North Korea ? Then vote for either Harris or Trump. But consider just staying home on Election Day and not corrupting your soul in support of " OUR democracy ".

" ] [ B.J. Whitehouse, the board’s chairman, led the charge. He called Feinstein a “charlatan” who scammed students in the late 1990s by promising them $50 in exchange for good deeds. Instead, Whitehouse said, Feinstein handed them South African coins valued at 76 cents. “I do not want that man’s name on our school,” Whitehouse said. ] My old " Broad Street School " in Providence , Rhode Island ( renamed " Feinstein " ) was blessed by his " philanthropy " .

Kamala Harris Is A Threat To Our Democracy

American history shows that threats to democracy go way beyond individuals of either party seeking high office. I spent the better part of yesterday , Sunday , browsing at the famous Providence Athenaeum a book of essays ( 1877 ) by T. H. Huxley known as " Darwin's Bulldog ". In one lecture he eloquently explained why he thought America was a wonderful and promising then young country . But he warned : [ " You and your descendants have to ascertain whether this great mass will hold together under the forms of a republic, and the despotic reality of universal suffrage; whether state rights will hold out against centralisation, without separation, whether centralisation will get the better, without actual or disguised monarchy; whether shifting corruption is better than a permanent bureaucracy; and as population thickens in your great cities, and the pressure of what is felt, the gaunt spectre of pauperism will stalk among you, and communism and socialism will claim to be heard. " ] Huxley noted America's fabulous wealth and resources . But asked : " What are you going to do with it ? " As a longtime independent democratic socialist, in response to T.H. Huxley's friendly question in 1877, I can only ask this question : Why should not communism and socialism be heard ? Note that in the 2024 presidential campaign Donald Trump imagines that Kamala Harris is some sort of closet Marxist while a few years back Trump ( as would be dictator ? ) promised to ban socialism and socialists from his MAGA program . I suspect that Kamala Harris, out of deference to " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders, would abolish socialism and socialists with a little more " progressive " finesse .

William Fulbright's " The Arrogance of Power " circa 1965 ) American imperialism ( could it be the " Arrogance of Fading power " ? ) WARNS Russia, WARNS China , WARNS, Iran, WARNS North Korea, WARNS even Venezuela and Cuba , not to cross whatever red line loci for the week . But how many mentally and physically fit young people in " OUR democracy " can be recruited for military service by the stale Wilsonian blather of the mainstream news media , " Free World " Wilsonian blather, that was false more than a century ago ? How many mentally and physically fit young Americans are " inspired " by the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in " Greater APARTHEID Israel " , by the war monger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine , and by Senator Chuck Schumer ( who a while back said he wants to be Israel's " guardian angel " ) here in " Greater Israel " USA ? Vote YES for nuclear World War III ? Then vote for either Democrat Kamala Harris or Republican Donald Trump " . Better still , just stay home ! Also for consideration : the dastardly leaders of the forever UNFREE World do not live up to the lofty moral standards of the New York Times editorial board , of the CIA , FBI, Pentagon War Crimes Machine ? Join THEIR 21st century " Great Crusade " ?
