Discontinuities of Darwinian Evolution and Revolution of Species
Stephen Jay Gould writes in "The Structure of the Theory of Evolution"
"Many evolutionists consider that a strict continuity between micro and macro-evolution is an essential ingredient of Darwinism and the necessary corollary of natural selection. (...) Thomas Henry Huxley had separated the natural selection from gradualism and warned Darwin that his frank and unsubstantiated adherence to gradualism could undermine his (...)

What is Quantum Vacuum ?
16 December 2016, by Robert ParisWhat is Quantum Vacuum ?
An article of Albert Einstein, “On the Ether” (1924) :
If we are here going to talk about the ether, we are not, of course, talking about the physical or material ether of the mechanical theory of undulations, which is subject to the laws of Newtonian mechanics, to the points of which are attributed a certain velocity. This theoretical edifice has, I am convinced, finally played out its role since the setting up of the special theory of relativity. It is rather (...) -
One in five US children do not have enough to eat
27 April 2014One in five US children do not have enough to eat
By Andre Damon Feeding America, the US national network of food banks, released its annual report on local food insecurity Thursday, showing that there are dozens of counties throughout in the US where a third of children do not get enough to eat.
Fourteen million people, or 16 percent of the population, lived in food insecure households in 2012, the latest year for which figures are available. This is up from 11.1 percent in 2007. (...) -
Socialism, by Engels
12 January 2022The materialist conception of history starts from the proposition that the production and, next to production, the exchange of things produced, is the basis of all social structure; that in every society that has appeared in history, the manner in which wealth is distributed and society divided into classes or estates is dependent upon what is produced, how it is produced, and how the products are exchanged. From this point of view the final causes of all social changes and political (...)

Estranged Labour, Karl Marx
25 October 2018"We have proceeded from the premises of political economy. We have accepted its language and its laws. We presupposed private property, the separation of labor, capital and land, and of wages, profit of capital and rent of land – likewise division of labor, competition, the concept of exchange value, etc. On the basis of political economy itself, in its own words, we have shown that the worker sinks to the level of a commodity and becomes indeed the most wretched of commodities; that the (...)

BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
7 December 2021BACON – HEGEL’S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY
There was already being accomplished the abandonment of the content which lies beyond us, and which through its form has lost the merit it possessed of being true, and is become of no significance to self-consciousness or the certainty of self and of its actuality; this we see for the first time consciously expressed, though not as yet in a very perfect form, by Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans. He is therefore instanced as in the (...) -
Jack London - War of the Classes

War of the Classes
PREFACE
When I was a youngster I was looked upon as a weird sort of creature, because, forsooth, I was a socialist. Reporters from local papers interviewed me, and the interviews, when published, were pathological studies of a strange and abnormal specimen of man. At that time (nine or ten years ago), because I made a stand in my native town for municipal ownership of public utilities, I was branded a "red-shirt," a "dynamiter," and an "anarchist"; and (...) -
Iceland devastated by global crisis
4 février 2009, par Robert ParisPer-Åke Westerlund, Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna (CWI Sweden)
A few days of demonstrations, including protesters throwing eggs being met by riot police with teargas, have been enough to force a new election in Iceland. The mass protests in what is, to date, the worst hit country in the global economic crisis, have been referred to as a revolution – a ’fleece’, ’facebook’, or ’saucepan’ revolution. Among those who have come onto the streets, there are discussions about the need for a new (...) -

CHAPTER 1 The Question of the Party Generations
None of the resolutions adopted during the discussion in Moscow, the complaint is made that the question of party democracy has been complicated by discussions on the relationships between the generations, personal attacks, etc. This complaint attests to a certain mental confusion. Personal attacks and the mutual relationships between generations are two entirely different things. To pose now the (...) -
