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

Trump casts doubt on reaching immigration deal by Feb. 8
As a democratic socialist I believe that President Trump IS the LEGITIMATE president of the United States until a LEGITIMATE election decides that he is not. I do not support any Shadow Government , palace coup. That could start a civil war . Of course, REVOLUTION-like the French Revolution of 1789 - needs no PERMISSION from the ruling class.
" Liberal " Democrats turn a blind eye to African refugee crisis in Israel
Government Reopens For Business, But Immigration Fight Still Looms
How many " liberal " Democrats turn a blind eye to the African refugee crisis in Israel ?
[ " In December, the Israeli government announced its plans to deport some 35,000 Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers who entered Israel without proper authorization since the early 2000s starting in March. The asylum seekers claim they are fleeing famine and civil war in their home countries. Israel claims that the Africans are "infiltrators" and 'economic migrants,' not refugees. "]
No hypocrisy here ? Of course , no SOCIALIST would want to see these " Dreamers " traumatized or expelled from their imagined " Promised Land ".
If it were not for American imperialism , there would be few " s---t hole " nations today. Not for nothing Abraham Lincoln opposed war with Mexico in 1848. And anti-imperialist author Mark Twain opposed this " Manifest Destiny " nonsense at the turn of the century - the Robber Baron Age.
The neo-con, war mongering Democrats are not sentimental pacifists about nuclear World War III .
Explain the " liberal " , " progressive " roots of their HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism ?
Philosopher Bertrand Russell " got into trouble " for " Christian love " remark
[In his Autobiography Bertrand Russell speaks of a Columbia lecture where he got
into trouble for saying that “what the world needs is ‘love, Christian love.... " This was a disappointment to the atheists and a source of joy to believers.
Russell goes on to add:
" I spoke of Christian love, I put in the adjective ‘Christian’ to distinguish it from sexual love, and I should certainly have supposed that the context made this completely clear. I go on to say that, ‘If you feel this you have a motive for existence, a guide in action, a reason for courage, and an imperative necessity for intellectual honesty. If you feel this, you have all that anybody should need in the way of religion. "] EXCERPT
