Myanmar – The myth of national progressive bourgeoisie and the role of imperialism
The violence and bloodshed on Myanmar are getting worse. Even though the spontaneous resistance is becoming more potent, the international governments have not given the popular revolution significant aid.

Freud y el Marxismo 2/2
Para Freud, había un conflicto inevitable y necesario entre el individuo y la sociedad. Inevitable porque los instintos de identificación nunca podrían cumplirse; la identidad era insaciable y la realidad social establecía límites a lo que se podía proporcionar. Necesario porque el desarrollo de la civilización requería la represión y sublimación de los instintos para…
Le Chant Des Ouvriers
Nous, dont la lampe, le matin,Au clairon du coq se rallume;Nous tous, qu’un salaire incertainRamene avant l’aube a l’enclume;Nous, qui des bras, des pieds, des mains.De tout le corps, luttons sans cesse,Sans abriter nos lendemainsContre le froid de la vieillesse, Aimons-nous, et quand nous pouvonsNous unir pour boire a la ronde,Que le canon se taise…

The WSM says it is well documented by anthropologists, that there has been many societies which has not involved a monetary economy – in fact some exist…
The World Socialist Party of the United States

However, a definite class ideology by no means exists as yet and the…
