  21 April 2015, by Robert Paris

  The legacy of Charles Darwin
  150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species
  Roy Farrar, from The Socialist (weekly paper of CWI England and Wales)
  Charles Darwin’s theory of ’natural selection’ changed the way that we look at ourselves. It contradicted the idea of an outside ’intelligent designer’, so it met a reaction from the religious establishment that still exists in part today.

  What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and (…)

• Critical Battle Against French Materialism
  23 March 2022, by Robert Paris

  Critical Battle Against French Materialism
  Karl Marx, The Holy Family
  “Spinozism dominated the eighteenth century both in its later French variety, which made matter into substance, and in deism, which conferred on matter a more spiritual name.... Spinoza’s French school and the supporters of deism were but two sects disputing over the true meaning of his system....
