    The first Charles wouldn’t play ball. That’s why they chopped his head off. At least he wouldn’t be a prop for the bourgeoisie.

    I see the coronation has gone woke.
    Now it’s TM, Their Majesty, since his and her are now illegal words.
    TM armed forces. TM Ship. TM Prison, etc.

    Woke doesn’t mind capitalism. It just hates gender.

    ” In the Middle East in a pre capitalist society, Christians, Jewish and Muslim lived together in harmony and peace for more than 900 years, and they practiced their own religion without any intolerances, therefore human being lived in a social production for thousands of years and the research made by Marx and Engels are correct in regard to the primitive society.”

    Quite so. I think the history now with regard to distinct hominids is three million years. But of course, evolution isn’t a line of distinct compartments like train carriages; it is fluid.

    In Sicily under Norman rule, Catholics, Muslims and Greeks co-operated in church building, and churches there are consisting of each faith’s contributions to floors, murals, etc.
    Of course, Marx was also admiring of medieval Provence, ever since the Romans considered the Garden of Europe. During the century and a half of independent Occitan rule, Moslems and Jews were protected there, even during the Crusades. So were Cathars. These pacifists were actively protected by the Occitan nobles, with their lives. The same was true of Peter’s Aragon and Alfonso’s Castile, and of Moorish Spain, where a vibrant Sephardic civilization blossomed, and where refugee Cathars found safety.

    ” Primitive communism lasted longer than capitalism and it was replaced by a new mode of production.”

    I’ll say it did! Over a MILLION years!

    And i’ll also challenge Lizzie’s “power over nature” phrase, which is in line with the CONQUEST mode of thought with which the capitalists are now destroying the very planet. It’s also in line with the bourgeois hierarchical interpretation of evolution, which evolutionary scientists and cross-species ethologists have long since debunked, as did Darwin himself: even though many Marxists still espouse it.

    The word knight used to be pronounced “knicket” (Terry Jones), because they would ride along, see the land, and nick it.

    We had a rain master in the English Civil War Society. Whenever he turned up it poured.

    Likewise, the U.S. has no state church (attached here to the monarchy), yet the U.S. is riddled with Jesus mania.

    To all practical purposes the head of the British capitalist state is the PM, whom the duped workers do vote for. So it’s of no consequence, as ALB rightly points out.
    The U.S. is a republic, but it has more idolisers of the British royals than Britain has.

    And before May 1st belonged to the proletariat, it had also belonged to the serfs. It was Robin Hood Day, and marked, through centuries, the oppresseds’ hatred for their oppressors.

    Forestholidays.co.uk:

    ” Robin Hood and Merrie May Day
    Nottinghamshire has been described as the “May Day county” by local historian Frank Earp. May Day festivities have long been associated with Robin Hood folklore and the characters of Robin Hood and Maid Marion were crowned, in Tudor celebrations, as the May King and May Queen.”
