“Jim Crow in Los Angeles”, Hal Draper, 1947
Over a hundred thousand people in Los Angeles live in a concentration camp.
Not the kind you read about over in Europe. No barbed wire, no gas chambers. That isn’t the only thing that makes a concentration camp.
Racial segregation, restriction of liberty, brutality in uniform, vigilante storm-troopers on the loose – these make the concentration camps that exist in American cities, and in Los Angeles.
They are the Jim Crow ghettos. Behind (...)

Why I Am Not A Christian
March 6, 1927
As your chairman has told you, the subject about which I am to speak tonight is "Why I Am Not a Christian." Perhaps it would be as well, first of all, to try to make out what one means by the word (...) -

The Fall of the Provisional Government
WEDNESDAY, November 7th, I rose very late. The noon cannon boomed from Peter-Paul as I went down the Nevsky. It was a raw, chill day. In front of the State Bank some soldiers with fixed bayonets were standing at the closed gates.
“What side do you belong to?” I asked. “The Government?”
“No more Government,” one answered with a grin, “Slava Bogu! Glory to God!” That was all I could get out of him&….

Three uprisings in South Korea
10 July 2022, by Robert ParisThree uprisings in South Korea INTRODUCTION
Let us first recall that it was British and American imperialism that demanded that Stalin militarily occupy northern Asia and notably northern Korea while they occupied the south. Let us also remember that this had no military purpose because the war was then won in Japan crushed under the bombs and which only asked to capitulate. What motivated these imperialisms was the fear of a social revolution. In Korea, struck by misery and feudalism, (...) -

Theranos Conviction Shows that Lying and Fraud are Part of the System
Elizabeth Holmes, the founder and CEO of Theranos, a health technology company, was convicted of conspiracy to defraud investors and wire fraud. While we can all be happy that Holmes was caught in the act and has fallen from her perch of wealth and power, we should not lose sight of the larger lessons – that Holmes and (...) -
Physics and philosophy
15 September 2010, by Robert Parisby Heisenberg
in "Physics and philosophy" :
The History of Quantum Theory
THE origin of quantum theory is connected with a well-known phenomenon, which did not belong to the central parts of atomic physics. Any piece of matter when it is heated starts to glow, gets red hot and white hot at higher temperatures. The colour does not depend much on the surface of the material, and for a black body it depends solely on the temperature. Therefore, the radiation emitted by such a black body (...) -
Religion : its social roots and role
2 June 2008, by Robert ParisDefinitions of religion, like definitions of the state, generally tell us more about the social and political allegiances of the author of a given definition than about the true nature of religion or the state. Loyalties – that is, class interests and class outlook – are transferred into definitions; especially is this true of religion. Typical of such definitions is a theologian’s formula for Christianity as ‘the synthesis of the highest aspirations of man’. The fact that definitions are (...)

STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION
19 December 2021C.L.LR. James
STALIN RUINS THE CHINESE REVOLUTION
EVEN WHILE THE STALINISTS, BY FALSIFICATION AND PHYSICAL repression, were destroying the propagandists of international Socialism, the world revolution which had seemed so remote in October, 1924, stirred itself, and even while the new theory was being made law presented the International with one of its greatest opportunities. We have to pass over how the Stalinists forced the Communist Party of Poland to support Pilsudski in the coup (...) -
The first open declaration of opposition by old Bolshevik leaders to Stalinism in 1923
27 December 2021The Platform of the 46
A week after Leon Trotsky had sent his letter to the Central Committee 46 prominent Bolsheviks, some of whom occupied leading posts in economic management, presented their own criticism of the economic and inner-Party policy of the Party leadership of Kamenev, Zinoviev, Stalin, Rykov and Tomsky. This statement of opposition which became known as ‘The Platform of the 46’ was submitted to the Politburo on October 15, 1923, after being circulated among a number of (...) -
Hegel’s Philosophy of History - Part I
11 December 2021Introduction
Part I: The Oriental World
We have to begin with the Oriental World, but not before the period in which we discover States in it. The diffusion of Language and the formation of races lie beyond the limits of History. History is prose, and myths fall short of History. The consciousness of external definite existence only arises in connection with the power to form abstract distinctions and assign abstract predicates; and in proportion as a capacity for expressing Laws (of (...)
