Lenin: The class struggle is continuing; it has merely changed its forms. It is the class struggle of the proletariat to prevent the return of the old exploiters, to unite in a single union the scattered masses of unenlightened peasants. The class struggle is continuing and it is our task to subordinate all interests to that struggle. Our communist morality is also subordinated to that task. We say: morality is what serves to destroy the old exploiting society and to unite all the working people around the proletariat, which is building up a new, a communist society. wordsmith.social/protestation/โฆ
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation.

Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society.

He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

Pour des รฉtrangers, la politique europรฉenne actuelle peut รชtre difficile ร dรฉchiffrer, et cela nโest nulle part plus รฉvident que dans la rรฉponse du continent ร lโรฉvolution de la situation en Ukraine. Depuis la rรฉsurgence politique de Donald Trump et son initiative de nรฉgocier la fin du conflit Russo-ukrainien, les dirigeants europรฉens ont agi dโune maniรจre qui semble dรฉfier la logique fondamentale des relations internationales, en particulier le rรฉalisme, qui veut que les รtats agissent principalement pour faire avancer leurs propres intรฉrรชts stratรฉgiques.
Plutรดt que de soutenir les efforts diplomatiques pour mettre fin ร la guerre, les dirigeants europรฉens ont semblรฉ dรฉterminรฉs ร faire dรฉrailler les ouvertures de paix de Trump, ร saper les nรฉgociations et ร prolonger le conflit. Du point de vue des intรฉrรชts fondamentaux de lโEurope, ce nโest pas seulement dรฉroutant, cโest irrationnel. La guerre en Ukraine, mieux dรฉcrite comme un conflit par procuration entre lโOTAN et la Russie, a infligรฉ dโimmenses dommages รฉconomiques aux industries et aux mรฉnages europรฉens, tout en augmentant considรฉrablement les risques pour la sรฉcuritรฉ ร travers le continent. On pourrait soutenir, bien sรปr, que lโimplication de lโEurope dans la guerre รฉtait erronรฉe dรจs le dรฉpart ; le rรฉsultat dโun orgueil dรฉmesurรฉ et dโune erreur de calcul stratรฉgique, en particulier la croyance erronรฉe que la Russie subirait un effondrement รฉconomique rapide et une dรฉfaite militaire.
Cependant, quelle que soit la justification de la rรฉponse initiale de lโEurope ร la guerre, on pourrait sโattendre ร ce que, ร la lumiรจre de ses consรฉquences, les dirigeants europรฉens saisissent avec empressement toute voie viable vers la paix ; et avec elle, la possibilitรฉ de rรฉtablir les relations diplomatiques et la coopรฉration รฉconomique avec la Russie. Au lieu de cela, ils ont rรฉpondu avec inquiรฉtude ร la โmenaceโ de paix. Loin dโaccueillir favorablement lโopportunitรฉ, ils ont doublรฉ la mise : promettant un soutien financier et militaire indรฉfini ร lโUkraine et annonรงant un plan de rรฉarmement sans prรฉcรฉdent qui suggรจre que lโEurope se prรฉpare ร une impasse militarisรฉe ร long terme avec la Russie, mรชme en cas de rรจglement nรฉgociรฉ.
Comment pouvons-nous donner un sens ร cette posture apparemment autodestructrice ? Ce comportement peut sembler irrationnel lorsquโil est jugรฉ dans le contexte des intรฉrรชts gรฉnรฉraux ou objectifs de lโEurope, mais il devient plus intelligible lorsquโil est examinรฉ ร travers le prisme des intรฉrรชts de ses dirigeants. Quatre dimensions interdรฉpendantes peuvent aider ร expliquer leur position : psychologique, politique, stratรฉgique et transatlantique.
Dโun point de vue psychologique, les dirigeants europรฉens se sont de plus en plus dรฉtachรฉs de la rรฉalitรฉ. Lโรฉcart grandissant entre leurs attentes initiales et la trajectoire rรฉelle de la guerre a crรฉรฉ une sorte de dissonance cognitive, les amenant ร adopter des rรฉcits de plus en plus dรฉlirants ; y compris des appels alarmistes ร se prรฉparer ร une guerre totale contre la Russie. Cette dรฉconnexion nโest pas simplement rhรฉtorique ; elle rรฉvรจle un malaise plus profond alors que leur vision du monde se heurte ร des faits inconfortables sur le terrain.
La psychologie offre รฉgalement un aperรงu de la rรฉaction de lโEurope aux dรฉcisions de Trump. Dans la mesure oรน Washington a toujours considรฉrรฉ lโOTAN comme un moyen dโassurer la subordination stratรฉgique de lโEurope, la menace du prรฉsident de rรฉduire les engagements des รtats-Unis envers lโalliance pourrait รชtre lโoccasion pour lโEurope de se redรฉfinir en tant quโacteur autonome. Le problรจme est que lโEurope est enfermรฉe dans une relation de subordination avec lโAmรฉrique depuis si longtemps que maintenant que Trump menace de dรฉstabiliser sa dรฉpendance sรฉcuritaire historique, lโEurope est incapable de saisir cette opportunitรฉ ; au lieu de cela, elle tente de reproduire la politique รฉtrangรจre agressive des รtats-Unis ; de โdevenirโ inconsciemment lโAmรฉrique.
Cโest pourquoi, aprรจs avoir volontairement sacrifiรฉ leurs propres intรฉrรชts sur lโautel de lโhรฉgรฉmonie amรฉricaine, ils se prรฉsentent maintenant comme les derniers dรฉfenseurs des politiques mรชmes qui les ont rendus inutiles en premier lieu. Cโest moins une dรฉmonstration de conviction rรฉelle quโun rรฉflexe psychologique ; une faible tentative de masquer lโhumiliation dโรชtre exposรฉs par leur patron comme de simples vassaux, une mascarade creuse โdโautonomieโ.
Au-delร du psychologique et du symbolique, des calculs plus pragmatiques sont รฉgalement en jeu. Pour la gรฉnรฉration actuelle de dirigeants europรฉens, admettre lโรฉchec en Ukraine รฉquivaudrait ร un suicide politique ; en particulier compte tenu des immenses coรปts รฉconomiques supportรฉs par leurs propres populations. La guerre est devenue une sorte de justification existentielle ร leur domination. Sans cela, leurs รฉchecs seraient exposรฉs. ร une รฉpoque oรน les partis de lโestablishment subissent une pression croissante de la part des mouvements et des partis โpopulistesโ, cโest une vulnรฉrabilitรฉ quโils ne peuvent pas se permettre. Pour mettre fin ร la guerre, il faudrait รฉgalement reconnaรฎtre que le mรฉpris de lโOTAN pour les prรฉoccupations de sรฉcuritรฉ de la Russie a jouรฉ un rรดle dans le dรฉclenchement du conflit ; une dรฉcision qui saperait le rรฉcit dominant de lโagression russe et impliquerait les propres erreurs stratรฉgiques de lโEurope.
Face ร ces dilemmes, les dirigeants europรฉens ont choisi de conforter leur position. La poursuite du conflit โ et le maintien dโune posture hostile ร lโรฉgard de la Russie โ leur fournit non seulement une bouรฉe de sauvetage politique ร court terme, mais sert รฉgalement de prรฉtexte pour consolider le pouvoir dans leur pays, rรฉprimer la dissidence et anticiper les futurs dรฉfis politiques. Ce qui peut apparaรฎtre ร la surface comme une incohรฉrence stratรฉgique reflรจte, ร y regarder de plus prรจs, une tentative dรฉsespรฉrรฉe de gรฉrer la dรฉsintรฉgration interne en projetant de la force ร lโรฉtranger.
Tout au long de lโhistoire, les gouvernements ont souvent exagรฉrรฉ, gonflรฉ ou carrรฉment fabriquรฉ des menaces extรฉrieures ร des fins politiques nationales ; une stratรฉgie qui sert de multiples objectifs, allant de lโunification de la population et la censure de la dissidence ร la justification de lโaugmentation des dรฉpenses militaires et lโexpansion du pouvoir de lโรtat. Cela sโapplique certainement ร ce ร quoi nous assistons actuellement en Europe. En termes รฉconomiques, il y a lโespoir quโune augmentation de la production de dรฉfense puisse aider ร relancer les รฉconomies anรฉmiques de lโEurope ; une forme grossiรจre de keynรฉsianisme militaire. Il nโest guรจre surprenant, ร cet รฉgard, que le pays qui mรจne la charge de la remilitarisation soit lโAllemagne, dont lโรฉconomie a รฉtรฉ la plus durement touchรฉe par la guerre en Ukraine.
Les plans de remilitarisation de lโEurope seront sans aucun doute une aubaine pour le complexe militaro-industriel du continent, qui enregistre dรฉjร des gains records, mais il est peu probable quโils se rรฉpercutent sur les Europรฉens ordinaires, dโautant plus que lโaugmentation des dรฉpenses de dรฉfense entraรฎnera inรฉvitablement des rรฉductions dans dโautres domaines, tels que les retraites, la santรฉ et les systรจmes de sรฉcuritรฉ sociale. Janan Ganesh, chroniqueur pour le Financial Times, a exprimรฉ la logique sous-jacente : โLโEurope doit rรฉduire son รtat providence pour construire un รtat de guerreโ.
Cela dit, si les facteurs รฉconomiques jouent certainement un rรดle, les vรฉritables objectifs du programme de rรฉarmement de lโEurope ne sont sans doute pas รฉconomiques, mais politiques. Au cours des 15 derniรจres annรฉes, lโUnion europรฉenne est devenue un รฉdifice de plus en plus autoritaire et antidรฉmocratique. Surtout sous von der Leyen, la Commission europรฉenne a utilisรฉ crise aprรจs crise pour accroรฎtre son influence sur des domaines de compรฉtence qui รฉtaient auparavant considรฉrรฉs comme lโapanage des gouvernements nationaux โ des budgets financiers et de la politique de santรฉ aux affaires รฉtrangรจres et ร la dรฉfense โ au dรฉtriment du contrรดle dรฉmocratique et de la responsabilitรฉ.
Au cours des trois derniรจres annรฉes, lโEurope sโest de plus en plus militarisรฉe, alors que von der Leyen sโest emparรฉe de la crise ukrainienne pour se placer ร la tรชte de la rรฉponse du bloc, transformant de fait la Commission, et lโUE dans son ensemble, en un bras รฉtendu de lโOTAN. Maintenant, sous le couvert de la โmenace russeโ, von der Leyen a lโintention dโaccรฉlรฉrer considรฉrablement ce processus de centralisation de la politique du bloc. Elle a dรฉjร proposรฉ, par exemple, dโacheter des armes collectivement au nom des รtats membres de lโUE โ en suivant le mรชme modรจle โJโachรจte, vous payezโ, dรฉjร utilisรฉ pour lโachat du vaccin Covid-19. Cela donnerait effectivement ร la Commission le contrรดle de lโensemble du complexe militaro-industriel des pays de lโUE ; le dernier dโune longue liste de coups dโรtat institutionnels menรฉs par Bruxelles.
Il ne sโagit pas seulement dโaugmenter la production dโarmes. Bruxelles poursuit une militarisation globale ร lโรฉchelle de la sociรฉtรฉ. Cette ambition se reflรจte dans lโapplication de plus en plus stricte de la politique รฉtrangรจre de lโUE et de lโOTAN โ allant des menaces et des pressions utilisรฉes pour contraindre des dirigeants non alignรฉs tels que Viktor Orbรกn en Hongrie et Roberto Fico en Slovaquie ร lโinterdiction pure et simple des candidats politiques qui critiquent lโUE et lโOTAN, comme en Roumanie.
Dans les annรฉes ร venir, cette approche militarisรฉe est appelรฉe ร devenir le paradigme dominant en Europe, car toutes les sphรจres de la vie โ politique, รฉconomique, sociale, culturelle et scientifique โ seront subordonnรฉes au prรฉtendu objectif de sรฉcuritรฉ nationale, ou plutรดt supranationale. Cela sera utilisรฉ pour justifier des politiques de plus en plus rรฉpressives et autoritaires, avec la menace de โlโingรฉrence russeโ invoquรฉe comme prรฉtexte fourre-tout pour tout, de la censure en ligne ร la suspension des libertรฉs civiles fondamentales ; ainsi que, bien sรปr, la poursuite de la centralisation et de la verticalisation de lโautoritรฉ de lโUE, surtout compte tenu de lโinรฉvitable contrecoup que ces politiques ne manqueront pas de gรฉnรฉrer. En dโautres termes, la โmenace russeโ servira de dernier effort pour sauver le projet de lโUE.
Enfin, il y a la dimension transatlantique. Ce serait une erreur de considรฉrer la fracture transatlantique actuelle uniquement ร travers le prisme des intรฉrรชts divergents des dirigeants europรฉens et amรฉricains. Au-delร de ces diffรฉrences, il peut y avoir une dynamique plus profonde en jeu. Il nโest pas dรฉraisonnable de supposer que les Europรฉens pourraient, ร un certain niveau, se coordonner avec lโestablishment dรฉmocratique amรฉricain et la faction libรฉrale-globaliste de lโรtat permanent amรฉricain ; le rรฉseau dโintรฉrรชts enracinรฉs couvrant la bureaucratie amรฉricaine, lโรtat de sรฉcuritรฉ et le complexe militaro-industriel. Ces rรฉseaux, qui sont toujours actifs malgrรฉ la โguerre contre lโรtat profond ยป dรฉclarรฉe par Trump, ont un intรฉrรชt commun ร faire dรฉrailler les pourparlers de paix et ร perturber la prรฉsidence de Trump.
En dโautres termes, ce qui ร la surface semble รชtre un affrontement entre lโEurope et les รtats-Unis peut en fait รชtre, dans un sens plus fondamental, une lutte entre diffรฉrentes factions de lโempire amรฉricain et, dans une large mesure, au sein de lโestablishment amรฉricain lui-mรชme, menรฉe par procurations europรฉennes. Aprรจs tout, de nombreux dirigeants europรฉens actuels ont des liens รฉtroits avec ces rรฉseaux.
Les รtats-Unis ont, bien sรปr, une longue histoire dโinfluence politique en Europe. Au fil des dรฉcennies, ils ont tissรฉ de solides liens institutionnels avec les appareils dโรtat des pays dโEurope occidentale, en particulier au sein de leurs services de dรฉfense et de renseignement. De plus, lโestablishment amรฉricain exerce une influence considรฉrable sur le discours public europรฉen par le biais des principaux mรฉdias et groupes de rรฉflexion de langue anglaise. Ces groupes de rรฉflexion, tels que le German Marshall Fund, le National Endowment for Democracy, le Council on Foreign Relations et lโAtlantic Council, contribuent ร faรงonner les rรฉcits politiques qui dominent la sociรฉtรฉ europรฉenne et sont en effet aujourdโhui ร lโavant-garde de la promotion de lโidรฉe selon laquelle โaucun accord vaut mieux quโun mauvaisโ.
Les origines de cette influence remontent ร la Guerre froide, les รtats-Unis ayant promu activement lโintรฉgration europรฉenne en tant que rempart contre lโUnion soviรฉtique. En dโautres termes, lโUE, en particulier ร travers ses versions antรฉrieures, a toujours รฉtรฉ attachรฉe ร lโAtlantisme, et cela nโa fait que sโintensifier aprรจs la guerre froide. Cโest pourquoi lโestablishment technocratique de lโUE โ en particulier la Commission europรฉenne โ a toujours รฉtรฉ plus alignรฉ sur lโAmรฉrique que les gouvernements nationaux europรฉens. Ursula von der Leyen, surnommรฉe la ยซ prรฉsidente amรฉricaine de lโEuropeยซ , est un excellent exemple de cet alignement, travaillant sans relรขche pour maintenir lโengagement de lโUE envers la stratรฉgie gรฉopolitique belliciste des รtats-Unis, en particulier en ce qui concerne la Russie et lโUkraine.
Un outil clรฉ de cette alliance a toujours รฉtรฉ lโOTAN, qui joue aujourdโhui un rรดle clรฉ dans la lutte contre les efforts de Trump pour changer lโapproche amรฉricaine envers la Russie. Dans ce contexte, la position de lโEurope, bien quโostensiblement dirigรฉe contre Trump, dรฉcoule de la reconnaissance du fait que des รฉlรฉments de la classe dirigeante amรฉricaine sโopposent fermement aux ouvertures de Trump ร Poutine, nourrissent une profonde animositรฉ envers la Russie et considรจrent les menaces du Prรฉsident de se dรฉsengager de lโOTAN et de saper dโautres piliers de lโordre dโaprรจs-guerre comme un dรฉfi stratรฉgique aux systรจmes qui ont soutenu lโhรฉgรฉmonie amรฉricaine pendant des dรฉcennies.
Ce lien pourrait peut-รชtre expliquer les politiques โirrationnellesโ de certains dirigeants europรฉens, du moins du point de vue des intรฉrรชts objectifs de lโEurope โ dโabord, leur soutien aveugle ร la guerre par procuration menรฉe par les รtats-Unis en Ukraine, et maintenant leur insistance ร poursuivre la guerre ร tout prix. Selon ce rรฉcit, les objectifs de lโestablishment transatlantique semblent assez clairs : diaboliser Trump, le dรฉpeindre comme un ยซ faible face ร Poutineโ et attiser les inquiรฉtudes europรฉennes sur leur vulnรฉrabilitรฉ militaire, notamment en gonflant la menace russe, afin de pousser le public ร accepter une augmentation des dรฉpenses de dรฉfense et la poursuite de la guerre le plus longtemps possible.
Aucune des deux parties ร cette guerre civile transatlantique nโa vraiment ร cลur les intรฉrรชts de lโEurope. La faction trumpienne considรจre lโEurope comme un rival รฉconomique, Trump lui-mรชme critiquant ร plusieurs reprises lโUE, la qualifiant dโโatrocitรฉโ conรงue pour โbaiserโ lโAmรฉrique, et envisage maintenant dโimposer de lourdes taxes douaniรจres ร lโEurope. Dโun autre cรดtรฉ, la faction libรฉrale-globaliste considรจre lโEurope comme un front critique dans sa guerre par procuration contre la Russie.
Dans ce contexte, un scรฉnario dans lequel les Europรฉens prolongeraient la guerre en Ukraine โ du moins ร court terme โ pourrait รชtre considรฉrรฉ comme un compromis entre les deux factions. Les รtats-Unis peuvent se sortir du bourbier ukrainien tout en poursuivant leur rapprochement avec la Russie et en se concentrant sur la Chine et lโAsie-Pacifique, tout en rejetant la responsabilitรฉ de lโรฉchec de la paix sur Zelensky et les Europรฉens.
Pendant ce temps, lโimplication continue de lโEurope dans la guerre garantit sa sรฉparation รฉconomique et gรฉopolitique continue dโavec la Russie et renforce sa dรฉpendance รฉconomique continue vis-ร -vis des รtats-Unis โ en particulier dans le contexte de lโaugmentation de ses dรฉpenses de dรฉfense, dont une grande partie irait au complexe militaro-industriel amรฉricain. Dans le mรชme temps, les reprรฉsentants europรฉens de lโestablishment libรฉral-globaliste continueraient dโutiliser la menace russe pour asseoir leur pouvoir. Dans lโensemble, cet arrangement pourrait รชtre considรฉrรฉ comme acceptable par les deux parties. En dโautres termes, comme lโa suggรฉrรฉ le chercheur en gรฉopolitique Brian Berletic, ce qui est souvent prรฉsentรฉ dans les mรฉdias comme une โrupture transatlantiqueโ sans prรฉcรฉdent peut, en fait, รชtre davantage une โdivision du travailโ dans laquelle les Europรฉens maintiennent la pression sur la Russie tandis que les รtats-Unis tournent leur attention vers la Chine.
Ce qui ressort de cette analyse est le tableau dโune classe politique europรฉenne en proie ร une profonde crise de lรฉgitimitรฉ, coincรฉe entre des pressions extรฉrieures et une dรฉcadence interne. Loin dโagir dans lโintรฉrรชt rationnel et stratรฉgique de leurs nations, les dirigeants europรฉens semblent de plus en plus redevables aux structures de pouvoir transatlantiques, aux impรฉratifs politiques intรฉrieurs et aux rรฉflexes psychologiques faรงonnรฉs par des dรฉcennies de dรฉpendance et de dรฉni. Leur rรฉponse ร la guerre en Ukraine et au retour de Trump sur la scรจne mondiale reflรจte moins une stratรฉgie gรฉopolitique cohรฉrente quโune tentative effrรฉnรฉe de prรฉserver un ordre en ruine par tous les moyens nรฉcessaires.
Dans ce contexte, les actions de lโEurope ne sont pas simplement erronรฉes ; elles sont symptomatiques dโun dysfonctionnement plus profond au cลur mรชme du projet europรฉen. La militarisation de la sociรฉtรฉ, lโรฉrosion des normes dรฉmocratiques, la consolidation du pouvoir technocratique et la suppression de la dissidence ne sont pas des mesures temporaires prises en temps de guerre ; ce sont les contours dโun nouveau paradigme politique, nรฉ de la peur, de la dรฉpendance et de lโinertie institutionnelle. Masquรฉs par le langage de la sรฉcuritรฉ et des valeurs, les dirigeants europรฉens ne dรฉfendent pas le continent, ils enracinent sa subordination, ร la fois ร lโhรฉgรฉmonie dรฉclinante de Washington et ร leurs propres rรฉgimes dรฉfaillants.
Lenin: Communist morality is that which serves this struggle and unites the working people against all exploitation, against all petty private property; for petty property puts into the hands of one person that which has been created by the labour of the whole of society. In our country the land is common property. But suppose I take a piece of this common property and grow on it twice as much grain as I need, and profiteer on the surplus? Suppose I argue that the more starving people there are, the more they will pay? Would I then be behaving like a Communist? No, I would be behaving like an exploiter, like a proprietor. That must be combated. If that is allowed to go on, things will revert to the rule of the capitalists, to the rule of the bourgeoisie, as has more than once happened in previous revolutions. To prevent the restoration of the rule of the capitalists and the bourgeoisie, we must not allow profiteering; we must not allow individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of the rest; the working people must unite with the proletariat and form a communist society. This is the principal feature of the fundamental task of the League and the organisation of the communist youth. wordsmith.social/protestation/โฆ
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Foldable foldable ebike has become a game-changer for urban commuters, travelers, and anyone looking to combine convenience with eco-friendly transportation. Their ability to fold into compact sizes makes them ideal for small apartments, public transit, or stashing in your car trunk. But with so many models on the market, how do you choose the right one? This guide breaks down the key factors to help you make the smartest decision.
1. Purpose and Riding Style Start by asking yourself how and where you'll use your foldable e-bike. Will it be for short city commutes, weekend adventures, or mixed transit rides? If you're mainly navigating flat city streets, you might not need a powerful motor or heavy-duty suspension. However, if you expect hills or rougher terrain, you'll want more torque and stronger tires.
2. Folding Mechanism and Portability One of the biggest selling points of foldable e-bikes is their compactness. Look for a bike that folds easily and quickly โ ideally in under 30 seconds. Check its folded dimensions to ensure it fits your storage space, whether thatโs under a desk or in a hallway closet. Also consider weight: some models weigh 35โ40 pounds, while others can be heavier due to larger batteries or added features. If you'll be lifting it often, weight is a crucial factor.
3. Battery Range and Charging Time Battery capacity determines how far you can go on a single charge. Most foldable e-bikes offer a range of 15 to 50 miles, depending on battery size, motor power, terrain, and rider weight. Think about your typical ride distances and whether youโll have access to charging points during the day. Charging times vary โ most take 3 to 6 hours for a full charge.
4. Motor Power and Performance Motor power, measured in watts (W), affects how much assistance the bike provides. For most urban use, a 250W to 350W motor is sufficient. If youโre tackling steep hills or carrying extra weight, consider a 500W or higher motor. Also check whether the bike has pedal-assist only or includes a throttle for full electric riding.
5. Frame Quality and Durability Foldable e-bikes should be both light and strong. Most frames are made from aluminum or steel. Aluminum is lighter and rust-resistant, while steel is more durable but heavier. Also inspect the locking mechanisms โ they should feel sturdy and secure, since safety depends on them when riding at speed.
6. Price and Warranty Foldable e-bikes can range from $600 to over $3,000. While budget options are tempting, cheaper models may sacrifice on battery life, comfort, or component quality. Always consider whatโs included โ such as fenders, lights, or racks โ and check for a solid warranty and customer support.
Conclusion
Choosing a foldable electric bike is about finding the right balance between portability, performance, and price. Consider your daily needs, test ride if possible, and read reviews from real users. With the right bike, youโll transform your commute into something enjoyable, efficient, and sustainable.
The Lacros Foldable Electric Bike combines convenience and performance with its lightweight, compact design. Perfect for urban commuting or storing in small spaces, this lightweight foldable electric bike offers a smooth ride and easy portability.

Lenin: The old society was based on the principle: rob or be robbed; work for others or make others work for you; be a slave-owner or a slave. Naturally, people brought up in such a society assimilate with their mother's milk, one might say, the psychology, the habit, the concept which says: you are either a slave-owner or a slave, or else, a small owner, a petty employee, a petty official, or an intellectual -- in short, a man who is concerned only with himself, and does not care a rap for anybody else. If I work this plot of land, I do not care a rap for anybody else; if others starve, all the better, I shall get the more for my grain. If I have a job as a doctor, engineer, teacher, or clerk, I do not care a rap for anybody else. If I toady to and please the powers that be, I may be able to keep my job, and even get on in life and become a bourgeois. A Communist cannot harbour such a psychology and such sentiments. When the workers and peasants proved that they were able, by their own efforts, to defend themselves and create a new society -- that was the beginning of the new and communist education, education in the struggle against the exploiters, education in alliance with the proletariat against the self-seekers and petty proprietors, against the psychology and habits which say: I seek my own profit and don't care a rap for anything else. That is the reply to the question of how the young and rising generation should learn communism. It can learn communism only by linking up every step in its studies, training and education with the continuous struggle the proletarians and the working people are waging against the old society of exploiters. When people tell us about morality, we say: to a Communist all morality lies in this united discipline and conscious mass struggle against the exploiters. We do not believe in an eternal morality, and we-expose the falseness of all the fables about morality. Morality serves the purpose of helping human society rise to a higher level and rid itself of the exploitation of labour. To achieve this we need that generation of young people who began to reach political maturity in the midst of a disciplined and desperate struggle against the bourgeoisie. In this struggle that generation is training genuine Communists; it must subordinate to this struggle, and link up with it, each step in its studies, education and training. The education of the communist youth must consist, not in giving them suave talks and moral precepts. This is not what education consists in. When people have seen the way in which their fathers and mothers lived under the yoke of the landowners and capitalists; when they have themselves experienced the sufferings of those who began the struggle against the exploiters; when they have seen the sacrifices made to keep what has been won, and seen what deadly enemies the landowners and capitalists are -- they are taught by these conditions to become Communists. Communist morality is based on the struggle for the consolidation and completion of communism. That is also the basis of communist training, education, and teaching. That is the reply to the question of how communism should be learnt. wordsmith.social/protestation/โฆ
