My parents were Jewish, but I reject Judaism for several reasons. One reason is the Book of Joshua, right after Moses. Moses has died, and Yahweh says okay Joshua, now you're the leader of the Hebrews. Now you can enter the promised land, and kill all the people who are there, and take their ... 1/

I don't know what kind of socialist or communist I am. Maybe someone can read my leaflet and tell me. Here is one unusual feature: I call for sharing everything and abolishing private property. I think that most people who call themselves leftists want to own SOMETHING. Continued ...

90% of ICE detentions have been illegal, according to 10,000 judges’ rulings www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

“Obama was a great president.” Think the black and brown people who were under Obamas drone strikes thought that? “Trump will be the anti-war president.” Think Syrians, Gazans, Lebonese, Yemini, and Iranians think that? Imperialist capitalism and degrees of thinking.

All our problems, including climate and poverty and war and the possibility of nuclear war, are caused by capitalism. And it can't be fixed by reforms. Capitalism must be ended altogether, or our species will soon be extinct.

Today is Nakba Day. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine began 78 years ago today and it has never stopped.

🇺🇸 I’m a socialist…

It's so hilariously unaware that the administration "for the working class" can't be bothered with the cost of groceries and gas because it is *obsessed* with gilded ballrooms, whomped up reflecting pools, gaudy arches, and fancy golf courses. What idiots!

Most of the people who claim to be opposed to capitalism, really just want to reform it, not end it. To actually end capitalism is beyond their imagination. Indeed, capitalism can't be reformed, but seeing that is also beyond their imagination.

What would happen if we abolished private property and eliminated the private profit motive?

I wonder if there's any chance that China will treat Trump the way Trump treated the president of Venezuela.

The war is not only raising the price of gas. It's also killing some people.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

El Niño. Crop failures. Plus the price of gas is way up, so truck drivers maybe can't afford to drive food to grocery stores. I'm imagining the fall of our "civilization."

Jesus recommended sharing. I'm undecided on whether to mention that fact in my pro-sharing leaflet. I think mentioning that probably strengthens my argument in some people's eyes, and weakens it in others. leftymathprof.wordpress.com/endcap/#top

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump Has a New Terrorist. It's You. open.substack.com/pub/barbaraf...

All of the USA's many many wars, at least since 1946, have been imperialist wars of aggression, justified by lies. Veterans are either fools or war criminals.

Why did Trump choose RFK2 ? And why did Trump choose ICE to do what ICE is doing? I don't understand Trump's motivations.

"America first" can be restated as "let's be selfish." That is NOT the right path. Think about it.

I'm becoming convinced that capitalism can't be reformed -- that it can't be made fair, sustainable, etc. -- that capitalism must be ended, and replaced with sharing. But how do we convince the general public of that? I'm working on that question.

Reading the news, I finally have to admit that religion turns people against each other. If there is a god, and if he is good, I'm now sure that he doesn't like religion.

If my state was one of the poorest states and Republicans had run it for 30 years, I'd try the other party

"Can capitalism be reformed, and made healthy, fair, efficient, sustainable?" Well, no, I don't think so, but I keep thinking that that quoted question might be a good title for an essay.

I'm looking for a word. People who believe in selfishness may see kindness as a foolish weakness. What is another word for that attitude?

Good mornings #GenZ 🤗 A letter we #wish someone would have written to us. WE’RE WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE #NOBODY ELSE WILL, NOT LIKE THIS! We’re writing to you because 2 OF US WERE YOU, and 3 of us have spent a LIFETIME EXAMINING THE #CHAOS. THE #TRAP HAS MANY DOORS. Let’s show you how to look! 🤓

Why is there so much cruelty in the world?

I have relatives in Gaza; so do you.

This is exactly why uncontrolled climate change will lead to civilisation collapse. Floods and wildfires lead to crop destruction, which leads to billions of hangry people starting arguments absolutely everywhere every day.

I'm not certain, but I'm expecting that quite soon -- perhaps before the end of 2026 -- we'll see heat waves, crop failures, food shortages, food riots, "might makes right" tactics by the rich, and the end of "civil" society. Socialism could have saved us, but I think it's too late for that.

I'm still thinking of changing the leaflet's title, maybe to "Everyone is Losing the Class War."

Socialism is a theory of how we can all live together. I've written simple little essays about it. But I've been married twice, divorced twice. That suggests I don't really know much about people living together. This requires further thought.

Overthrow your theocratic state, before it is too late! Reject your leaders and their lies -- rise, Israelis, Rise!

Every billionaire is a mass murderer whose crimes are hidden under myths about private property.
