Marx and I, having been wrong about how the class contradictions within the Republican party were going to work themselves out, but not about how far the politics of ignorance could really go once it had actually taken over the leading strings of government, are now preparing something useful and new.


When different people say the word "socialism," they make roughly the same sounds but may mean quite different things. We are going to look at the things the word can properly mean, including and emphasizing scientific socialism.

It’s not math class, it’s…

…class math!
I think some of the same folks who found math hard to understand in high school find economics hard to understand in real life – but for different reasons. It’s difficult to explain this without offering up insults valid of the generality of these persons, but gratuitous to the others, who perhaps suffer guilt only by association.
It says in my very first post, and I’ll say it again, that persons who are not one of them, but who can be induced to vote in the interest of the Few, likely suffer from a degree of ignorance of their real interests, indeed of their own place in the economic and political life of the nation.
To those people:
These lessons in class math will emphasize how few of them there really are, how small the likelihood you will ever become one of them is, how much greater the likelihood you will become one of the working poor is, and in fine, how wrong it is to vote for their interests and against your own.
