Summertime Living Isn’t Easy, But It Should Be!
19 July 2014, by Robert ParisSummertime Living Isn’t Easy, But It Should Be!
The summer months are a time to spend with our families, visit relatives in other cities, and simply hang out and get some rest. But for workers, the family time and relaxation has to be squeezed into our schedules before we have to clock back in to work. Without a job all you have is time and no money. And for those who are working, it seems like we have no time and still not enough money.
The United States is the only advanced nation in (...) -
USA : It Is Not Our Election But Their Election
8 November 2016, by Robert ParisTheir Elections And The Choices We Face
The nasty, nightmarish, reality show of the presidential elections finally ends on November 8th. This election presented the stark reality of the choices this system has to offer us.

Two years of endless media coverage and billions of dollars wasted on campaigns of personal insults left us with the so-called “choice” of (...) -

The CIA war against Syria
29 March 2013, by Robert ParisThe CIA war against Syria
After US President Barack Obama’s so-called “peace” trip to Israel last week, on the tenth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq, Washington is escalating its bloody intervention in the Middle East.
After threatening Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his main ally, oil-rich Iran, in a speech in Jerusalem, Obama is intensifying the US proxy war against Syria. Immediately after Obama’s visit, US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Iraq and summarily (...) -
Readings Upon Dialectics
17 October 2017, by Robert ParisReadings Upon Dialectics
“The whole world, natural, historical, intellectual, is represented as a process – i.e., as in constant motion, change, transformation, development; and the attempt is made to trace out the internal connection that makes a continuous whole of all this movement and development.”
Engels, Socialism: Utopian & Scientific

A Critique of The German Ideology
6 September 2019, by Robert ParisA Critique of The German Ideology
Preface
Hitherto men have constantly made up for themselves false conceptions about themselves, about what they are and what they ought to be. They have arranged their relationships according to their ideas of God, of normal man, etc. The phantoms of their brains have got out of their hands. They, the creators, have bowed down before their creations. Let us liberate them from the chimeras, the ideas, dogmas, imaginary beings under the yoke of which (...) -
