Alot happening since I last posted.
So, before TRYING to get only to a FEW events, highlights, a SHORT, redundant, preface which seems sophomoric, kindergarten like, TO ME, but, that's where people are so...forgive...sorry!
SYMPTOMS ABOVE represent a profound, universal, global, historical, disease, illness, CALLED PRIVATE PROPERTY, abstractly, capital, finance, money.
Manifestations of this underlying HISTORICAL etiology, pathology, disease, represent the GERM THEORY and bane of human economic history, existence.
OLD Eurasian interests bought with them to a different world what can be characterized only in all its many distinctions, permutations, SYSTEMIC, legalized, PRIVATE PROPERTY, land, houses, people, commodification, export, means of production, distribution, agriculture, slavery, NOT found in this particular form AT THAT TIME elsewhere on the globe.
The disease spread globally, overtaking all, a Bubonic Plague.
I am NOT advocating romantic, idyllic, glorified, peasantry, primitive man, as was done in many instances in earlier polemics, rather, different levels of social organization, "primitive capital accumulation," HISTORICAL CLASH of two or more UNEQUAL social forms, development of human economic reproduction, accumulation, coming together not by design, but, accident, CHANCE, UNSELF-CONSCIOUSLY.
Their subsequent intertwining, evolution, cohabitation, well known.
As far as I know, I may be incorrect, what now are so-called AMERICAN continents, possessed, for example, NO significant, large, OCEAN GOING VESSELS, CARGO/CONTAINER TYPE SHIPS, navy, military warfare, hardware.
They did have APPROPRIATE, sophisticated, technologies of vast stone construction, agriculture, but, NOT above, nor, metallurgy, the wheel, guns, artillery, horses, etc.
A technological imbalance.
As for disease, that went both ways, of course, not particularly good anywhere in early human history.
Life being "nasty, brutish and SHORT," most everywhere, quoting Hobbes, lest anyone romanticize struggles of survival which, as I have said before, nature being INDIFFERENT to human, or any other living creatures, sufferings.
Our species has spent much of its time in its brief existence attempting to modify, ameliorate, those natural hardships for GOOD REASON, CAUSE.
As a species, we have built an enormous SUPERSTRUCTURE, edifice.
I sincerely doubt ANYONE alive today would happily, voluntarily, return to earlier times.
It definitely is GOOD to have CLEAN RUNNING WATER and to KNOW what contaminates it, why, how and what to do about it.
So, this CONTINUED CONTRADICTORY RELATIONSHIP of PRIVATE PROPERTY, primitive capital accumulation, generates most everything considered exploitative, incorrect, inhumane, irrational, war, from aristocracy, royalty, to now.
THIS EQUATION, RELATIONSHIP, MUST BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN, to quote/paraphrase Marx, OR, NO SOLUTION POSSIBLE TO SPECIES self-annihilation with ULTIMATE GENOCIDE, EXTINCTION, inevitable as our planet's resources continues being raped, plundered, asset stripped, for PURPOSE OF PROFIT, PRIVATE CAPITAL ACCUMULATION, DISTRIBUTION, CONSUMPTION, export/import, self-aggrandizement and concomitant systemic needs.
Production and distribution MUST BE MANAGED, CONTROLLED, LIMITED, MAINTAINED, COORDINATED, NATIONALIZED AND RATIONALIZED, NOT FOR PROFIT.
THE REAL IS NOT RATIONAL!!
We can NOT superimpose collectively what NOW we understand about human social organization, bring to life those who died, suffered, to CHANGE course of past events.
EXISTENCE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR TIME TRAVEL BACKWARDS.
We can, however, CONSCIOUSLY acknowledge, learn, and CHANGE our man made system, not natural, physical, laws, properties, principles.
As a species, thru much hard work, trial and error, collectively, we gain SELF-AWARNESS, SCIENTIFIC PARADIGMS, methodologies, understanding, determining, underlying, factors, social relationships.
Marx, Einstein, Newton, represent MAJOR milestones, contributors, synthesizers, insight, ADVANCEMENT, into a collective self conscious AWARNESS, UNDERSTANDING OF OBJECTIVE NATURAL AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS.
They/it are WELL understood, explicitly, self-consciously, documented, analyzed, dissected, explained, NOT medieval ghosts, spirits, ANGRY gods, blood sacrifices, etc.
So, no longer collectively do we have ANY excuse CONSCIOUSLY to NOT change OUR SOCIAL PARADIGM, PROPERTY RELATIONSHIPS.
BUT, THAT REQUIRES PROGRAM, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, A FIGHT!
Private property, its expression of power, exploitation, concedes nothing without a struggle, UNITY.
So, FIRST, BELOW:
Then, the following:
HOWEVER, CAVEAT, be aware--website above being a PRO-TRUMP mouthpiece BLAMES CHINA FOR SO-CALLED VIRUS--ANOTHER BIG LIE, spinning meaningless sophistry with buzz words like TOTALITARIANISM, equating NAZI AND COMMUNIST STATES.
THIS IS pure nonsense, ideological PROPAGANDA, intellectual garbage, "PROLETARIAT/COMMUNIST" being ANTITHESIS OF "NAZI" DICTATORSHIPS, I.E., NATIONALIZATION VERSUS PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION--totally, completely, 100% anathema to one another!!
Cold is NOT hot!
This concept, INTENTIONAL obfuscation, MUST be understood lest all else futile!
So, a reminder regarding CHINA which is TWO NOT ONE STATE.
NAZI PRIVATIZED, former colonial entities like HONG KONG, SHANGHAI, SECTORS AND THEIR PRIVATE CAPITAL MAINLAND penetration, INVESTMENTS, MUST GO!!
Nobody, for example, talks about WUXIAPPTEC and the other issues/participants I highlight below.
Follow backwards embedded links, of course:
https://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-china-connection.html
Within this equation exists LABOR, modern labor unions, their history, of course, presently missing in action most everywhere!
Why??
For reasons I state above, below, over and over.
So, at following website I/they highlight a few labor struggles.
NOTE:
BENEFITS being most important, contentious, issue!
And, of course, UNEMPLOYMENT, displacement.
For those living OUTSIDE THE U.S.: The U.S. HAS NO FEDERAL, NATIONAL, HEALTH CARE SYSTEM!!
ALL PRIVATE, something they WISH to bring to THE ENTIRE GLOBE!
ALSO, regarding pension plans, again, for those outside, a Federal program does exist called Social Security, introduced by Roosevelt during Great Depression, but, NOT supposed to function as a pension plan, however, in reality it DOES SO for many seniors, garaunting at least a bare minimum subsistence income which varies depending on lifetime earnings.
Social Security can be EASILY converted into a NATIONAL PENSION SYSTEM and a SOCIAL SECURITY CORROLLARY, MEDICARE, INTO A NATIONAL, SINGLE PAYER, MEDICAL SYSTEM.
BUT, THE AFL-CIA UNIONS DO NOT DO THIS BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS, partners in above.
Their raison d'etre to INVEST pension funds and negotiate/subsidize FOR PROFIT PRIVATE HEALTH CARE systems.
So, NONE of these issues above/below are LEGITIMATE as far as I'm concerned.
Indeed, THEY REPRESENT AN IMPEDIMENT, intentionally, purposely, constructed as such.
LAST, GLARINGLY, NONE STATE UNIFIED OPPOSITION TO FAKE VACCINE, VIRUS, PANDEMIC, DIGITAL, EMERGENCY, crisis.
FIRST link, but, another to follow.
Instead of STRIKING and demanding issues above, they should OCCUPY this plant, turn it into a municipal/state NON-PROFIT, collective, entity, industry, STOP PRODUCING unhealthy GARBAGE which MOST of our/their products are and focus on ONE OR TWO items of SUBSTANCE for domestic purposes ONLY:
https://www.labornotes.org/2021/12/kelloggs-strikers-we-want-clear-path-out-two-tier-set-stone
Then, once again, THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY MUST BE NATIONALIZED, FROM A TO Z!
Humans are NOT profitable, thus, digitalization, but, once again, the problem of CONSUMPTIVE CONSUMERISM, export/import driven markets FOR PROFIT PURPOSES ONLY:
Let's move on to AFRICA, along with Greater MIDEAST, which currently is being raped, plundered, asset stripped, PRIVATIZED, decimated, destroyed, a la former colonial, imperialist, projects.
One of many examples, below, Liberia known to many people with any reasonable historical background, including, altho not mentioned specifically in this book talk, NAZI Germany's experimentation with synthetically produced rubber (see link/footnote just below book talk).
Ironically, ALL wearing masks, including speaker, LEGITIMIZE same interests of which they speak.
Thus, THEY, THEMSELVES, represent the same OBJECTIVE ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS about which HE and I speak.
Is it THEIR FAULT??
What should/can they do?
Can he/they opt out??
He/they CAN, FOR EXAMPLE, SAY WE DO THIS UNDER PROTEST and GIVE REASONS WHY.
THEY CAN participate in ORGANIZED ACTION!
This being expressed as an EXISTENTIAL, SUBJECTIVE, DILEMMA.
So, for Liberia--transcript available in this link, fortunately.

Last but not least, SOMEONE of "higher authority" clearly reading MY posts BECAUSE, interestingly, PUBLIC NEW YEARS EVE CELEBRATIONS CANCELLED DUE TO SUPPOSED VIRUS??
REMEMBER POST BELOW??!!
ONE THING WE CAN NOT HAVE: BROAD PROGRAM AND UNITY!!
Everyone and every issue for themselves!!:
