• Social State of Marxism

    (Aleksandr Zinovyev Quotes) Communism does not eliminate the inequality between men, the social injustice, exploitation of man by man and other evils of society — communism merely changes their form and gives birth to new evils, which become eternal fellow-travelers of communism. If a Communist Party of a certain Western democracy promises to preserve after its seizure of power the positive characteristics o...

  • The Real History of Capitalism

    Take a look at the history of “trucking and bartering” itself; look at the history of modern capitalism, about which we know a lot. The first thing you’ll notice is, peasants had to be driven by force and violence into a wage-labor system they did not want; then major efforts were undertaken – conscious efforts – to create wants. In fact, if you look back, there’s a whole interesting literature of conscious discussio...

  • What should we do when faced with adversity?

    Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received--hatred. The great creators--the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors--stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought...

  • Violence is not just Physical – Words that Underpin Intolerance

    Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence. When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a C...

Issues with Communism

Communism does not destroy and cannot in principle destroy social differences among the people. It changes only their forms, leading social contrasts to the monstrous sizes, which are at least not inferior to those in the West. Communism does not eliminate the inequality between humanity, the social injustice, exploitation of humanity and other evils of society — communism merely changes their form and gives birth to new evils. Marxism emerged not only with the intention of explaining scientifically everything in the world, but in addition to this, as a representative of the ‘hurt and injured’ classes of the world, expressing More >

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself More >

Love comes first. To love truth, you must know truth. To know truth is to deny truth. What is known is not truth. What is known is already encased in time and ceases to be truth. Truth is an eternal movement, and so cannot be measured in words or in time. It cannot be held in the fist. You cannot love something which you do not know. But truth is not to be found in books, in images, in temples. It is to be found in action, in living. The very search for the unknown is love itself, and you More >

Life is far too short to dwell in the failings of yesteryear. My philosophy is to love those who love you, forget those who you can live without, and believe that life is a journey pitted with obstacles which, especially through failure, make us stronger and more appreciative of what we have accomplished. Although tomorrow may look bleak, it is a new day with new opportunity to make a greater change for the future. The greatest flaw we can ever make is believing progress starts with the first step. It starts when we decide to make a difference, however small More >
