Thomas More – don’t call ALB stupid for expressing his view. But you are correct- it’s a mystery why Europe maintains the fiction that this is a war worth fighting for. It seems to fly in the face of common sense. Perhaps continuing the war gives profit to European arms manufacturers, I can’t think of any other reason. The capitalist class remains a mystery always – for example, why does it condone genocide in Gaza – until we look for the profit motive. I can only surmise that one section of the capitalist class (Europe?) stands to lose profit if another section (Russia?) gains.
Paula (not in moderation capacity)As an aside to Young Master Smeet – Lancaster Branch is pleased to announce that Lancaster has possibly the best Indian restaurant in our world. Our branch has regular curry meet-ups, all are welcome. Next scheduled curry night is 28 December. Overnight accommodation at a member’s house is provided. Or book your own, it’s worth it.

Lancaster BranchHi Ruben, I admire your enthusiasm! I don’t agree with all your suggestions, but I do agree with your suggestion of a hyperlink to a video which explains our position on abolishing money. It’s fundamental to our position but difficult to explain easily, because you have to go into a somewhat long-winded explanation of the nature of capitalism. It would be good to have a video explaining that money is a detrimental way of measuring value. We just need people to produce that video!
Paula (not moderating)The situation in the Middle East is too much to bear. I can’t stand the propaganda. I listen to Joan Baez to help me cope https://youtu.be/nM39QUiAsoM?si=5K8GcB74q8i00haO
It was good to view the human endeavour in the Olympics, but I was saddened by the flag brandishing. I expect that in socialism we’ll still have Olympics but without the flags.
