There is the German Bild newspaper called the Bild. It featured an
interview with the Ukrainian politician and oligarch Yulia Tymoshenko. She is
being treated in a Berlin hospital. She tried to compare him or Vladimir Puti to Hitler. Putin
made recent remarks. She said that Putin’s words were “the like of which the
world has not heard since 1938.” She said that Putin represents unfiltered
fascism, which was even more dangerous than Hitler’s National Socialism,
because “he camouflaged it with phrases about friendship between peoples”,
Tymoshenko said. Putin wants to “redraw the map of the world through wars, mass
murder and blood”. This would become Putin’s “Mein Kampf”. This is extremism
and totally false. The German newspaper in Germany called Bild has almost 2.5
million daily sales and a reach of over 12 million reading. This paper is
spreading propaganda about the situation. Apart from the business daily
Handelsblatt, which wrote that Tymoshenko’s statements raised “doubts about her
state of mind”, no one in the world of German politics and media has rejected
her Putin-Hitler comparison. Her words represent a distortion of historical
truth. Tymoshenko trivialize the brutality of Nazism. German laws even forbid
such statements. According to paragraph 130 of Germany’s Penal Code, if someone
“denies or renders harmless an act committed under the rule of National
Socialism”, such as genocide or crimes against humanity, it is punishable by up
to five years imprisonment or a fine. She equates Russia’s annexation of
Crimea, which was based on a clear vote by Crimean residents, with the Hitler’s
war of destruction against the Soviet Union (where 20 million Soviet human
beings were killed including millions of Jews, communists, and partisans who
were mercilessly butchered even in Ukraine). This trivialization of Nazism and
the Holocaust is wrong and evil. Tymoshenko has been praised in the Western
media as an icon of Ukrainian democracy. Her right wing Fatherland Party has
just formed an alliance with the fascist Svoboda for the planned elections in
May. We know that German industrialists financed Hitler and President Paul von
Hindenburg appointed him as chancellor in January of 1933 (because Hitler
promised the capitalist ruling class that he would smash the organized working
class once and for all and he would wage a war against the Soviet Union). The
Nazis supported bigots in Ukraine to attack the Soviet Union. The Nazis used
the Ukrainian farmland and resources as a means to fund that wicked Empire. There was
the pro-Nazi OUN or the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists of Stepan
Bandera. Bandera today is revered by Svoboda as a model and hero. Bandera
worked with the Nazis during the Holocaust. On June 30, 1941, before the
invasion of regular German troops, the wing of the OUN in the city of Lviv lead
by Bandera carried out a massacre in which about 7,000 Communists and Jews were
killed. Germany wants to get resources now and they are in cooperation with the
EU and NATO allies. Svoboda, which is celebrated by the fascist German National
Party (NPD) as “one of Europe’s most significant right-wing parties,” closely
linked politically and organization ally with the British National Party (BNP),
Hungary’s Jobbik, Italy’s Fiamma Tricolore and France’s National Front (FN). In
May last year, the NPD faction in the Saxony state legislature received and
entertained a delegation from Svoboda. Ten years ago, when Oleh Tiahnybok took
over the leadership of Svoboda, he told his supporters in a speech, “Grab the
guns, fight the Russian pigs, the Germans, the Jew-pigs and other vermin. Fight
for our Ukrainian homeland!” These are allies of some in the German government.
The German ambassador in Kiev met with Tiahnybok many times last year. Even the
Christian Democrat affiliated Konrad Adenauer Foundation invited Svoboda
members on study tours in Berlin. The Svoboda was a strong force in the Maidan
(Independence Square) protests. Many fascist thugs helped to overthrow the
government and they organized a reactionary putsch in Kiev. Yulia Tymoshenko knows these
facts very well. Her Fatherland Party differs only slightly from those
professing fascist and anti-Semitic views. Her electoral alliance with Svoboda
was struck in close consultation with the German government. We should oppose
fascism and imperialism forever.
The war activists and the peace
activists advocate for an agenda. Many of them are in government positions.
Some have huge funding, access to big media, and organize meetings all of the
time. Some have contempt for the public and the war activists use fear a
distorted view of nationalism as a means to gain support. War activists are
propagandists typically. Many are not journalists, not researchers, and not
academics. We should educate ourselves about these issues. William Kristol and
Robert Kagan are neo-cons and war activists. They have their organization
called Foreign Policy Initiative. It represents a modified version of the
Project for the New American Century, which was an earlier war activist
organization. The FPI talks less about oil and more about human rights, but
they want the U.S. domination of the world. They find any success by anyone
else in the world a threat to America. They want more military development and
war if necessary to be an end in itself. This mentality was embraced by
imperialists back in the 19th century. Agitators are deluded in believing that
war brings strength and glory, builds character, and makes a nation a Super
Power. Kristol recently lamented U.S. public opposition to war. The reason is
that most Americans, via polls, are sick of wars. We are outraged in the wars
of Iraq and Afghanistan. We don’t want new ones to start up again. In
September, missile strikes into Syria were successfully opposed by public
resistance. In February, a new bill to impose sanctions on Iran and commit the
United States to joining in any Israeli-Iranian war was blocked by public
pressure. The country and the world are turning against the drone wars. That is
why real activists are right to advocate the dismantling the infrastructure
that generate pressure for wars. There are military bases in over 100 nations.
Weapons sales are growing. New nukes are being developed. NATO has expanded
into the edge of Russia. The neo cons are invoking the Cold War as an excuse to
promote war agitation (ranging from giving anti-ballistic missiles to Poland
and Eastern Europe to literal military aid to the Ukraine). Kagan worked for
Hillary Clinton. Kagan’s wife is Victoria Nuland. Nuland is involved in
stirring up the situations in Ukraine as Assistant Secretary of State.
President Barack Obama admires Robert Kagan. Kristol criticizes Obama as not
going far enough and Kagan reassures Obama that he is doing the right thing yet
he must build up the military a bit more. The war mongering by the current
administration and previous ones can never be justified. We should build up own
our nation. Even a small fraction of U.S. military spending can guarantee the
whole world food, clean water, and medicine. So, we should fight against not
only war, but oppression in the world via legitimate means.
The whole situation must be
discussed, because human beings are suffering in the world. Corporations in the
States presently have massive profits and record tax breaks. Wall Street banking
interests have record profits. According to the estimates from David Cay
Johnston, American corporations hold about 7.9 trillion dollars in liquid
assets. This level is higher than corporate revenues. There should be
investments in STEM related fields. More human beings in America should have
the opportunities to get into such careers. Such careers that are related to
STEM fields are not going away, since we need concepts relating to science,
technology, etc. as a means for us to develop homes, to grow infrastructure, to
finalize engineering projects, and to advance technology in general. Also, we
need a fairer tax code and there has to be revolutionary economic solutions
here from ending QE to even establishing a guaranteed annual income (including
other methods to fight for full employment. The central banking of the Federal
Reserve blatantly benefits select monetary interests, which is antithetical to
the aspirations of Main Street). Populists like Ellen Brown, Stephen Zarlenga,
etc. want a fair public banking system (where banks are more decentralized not
centralized. States, counties, cities, etc. should form their own banks as a
means to strengthen economic power in communities nationwide). These banks can
cause more direct economic improvement. So, the burgeoning movement for local,
cooperatively-owned and community-oriented banks ought to be supported. We know
that the error filled Federal Reserve is not public at all. We need the
development of economic cooperatives too. Economist Kaoru Yamaguchi's computer
model has shown that a public-based money system and spending government money
on jobs fixing our infrastructure is the best form of economic growth. We
should continue to support policies to fight racism, militarism,
discrimination, and poverty. Massive austerity ought to be rejected since real
folks want the poor to have justice not oppression. Solutions can’t be
monolithic since our economic problems are very much complex.
In life, we have to learn more.
Regardless, we are in a struggle for liberation. Now, we should be careful to
not follow counterrevolutionary agenda. We are revolutionaries. We believe in
workers’ rights and human rights in general. We should not only build up real
infrastructure, but we should advance more radical politics. The oppression
back in the early 20th century was terrible like today. Even Booker T.
Washington by the end of his life began to speak out in more direct terms
against Jim Crow, lynching, and D.W. Griffith historically inaccurate film of
1915 called “The Birth of a Nation.” In the early 20th century, black people
were lynched all of the time. We have to reject xenophobia and chauvinism. Many
counterrevolutionaries today love to cut welfare and social services as a means
to advance “self-improvement” and “economic independence,” but such actions
only hurt human beings, especially the poor. We have to have a class and racial
analysis on why things are in the first place. Malcolm X was also right to
advocate equality between the sexes. In other words, we have to reject fascism
in all of it dimensions. Human beings should not only learn STEM fields. Human
beings have the right to support the arts too including any form of culturally excellent
subjects. We must agitate for solutions. The war on organized labor continues.
A proletarian rebellion is rejected by the ruling class. So, the ruling class
supports reactionary groups as a means to divide up humanity into warring
factions and to allow folks to love the capitalist system. We know that capitalism
has done wickedness. Chattel slavery was based on a plantation economy and
accumulated capital via unfreed fixed labor. Even in the North during Jim Crow,
black people were economically exploited. Still, the black proletariat and
other black human beings have a tremendous impact on the evolution of the class
struggle. C.L.R. James has argued that if it were not for the masses of black
people in the South via the Underground Railroad and other slave revolts before
the Civil War, the northern bourgeoisie and the Southern plantation owners
would have compromised. C.L.R. James was right that Malcolm X wanted African
American self-organization, but he did not want a new African American
capitalist state. Malcolm X wanted equal rights for African Americans, but not
assimilation into the white establishment capitalist society. He said this after his Hajj into Mecca. He believed in equality in his following words from February of 1965: "...I believe in a society in which people can live like human beings on the basis of equality..." Malcolm X was a
revolutionary and allied with the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements
of the world. At the time of his assassination, Malcolm X was a great
revolutionary. He would be even a greater leader if he was around today. Also,
we have to acknowledge the leadership role of women who fought in the
liberation struggle of humanity. Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Septima Clark
(who created a network of Citizenship Schools that taught poor Black men and
Black women to read, to write, and to register to vote), Rosa Parks, Charlayne
Hunter-Gault, and Dorothy Height are some of the many heroes who stood up for
truth plus justice.
In Venezuela, its citizens are fighting
fascism. Captain Jose Guillen Araque is from the Venezuelan National Guard. He
recently gave President Maduro a book on the rise of Nazism. He warned Maduro
to fight back against fascism before it is too later. Later, the young captain
Araque was shot by a U.S. backed assassin in the streets of Marcay in the state
of Aragua on March 16, 2014. There has been up to 29 Venezuelan soldiers killed
since the fascist uprising. This officer was a prominent, patriotic individual.
The Venezuelan fascists have support from Washington (including from a swath of
the Venezuelan upper and middle class). These fascists constitute a minority of
the electorate and they want to take power via various means. So, President
Maduro (as warned by Captain Guillen Araque) should end fascism. Many well-meaning
democrats and social democrats have died in their fighting for democratic principles.
These fascists are organized, violent political groups. They are using a mass
terror campaign as a means to destabilize and overthrow the democratically
elected Bolivarian government. This fascism lacks the extreme racist and
nationalist ideology of German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese predecessors.
Yet, they do work as proxy of U.S. imperialism and Colombian warlord allies.
Yet, Venezuelan fascism’s racism is directed against its multiracial
African-Amerindian Venezuelan working and peasant classes – as demonstrated by
their vitriolic racism against the deceased President Hugo Chavez. These
fascists hate the popular majority, they hate the Chavista Socialist Party (who
won 18 out of the 19 elections), they resort to armed seizure of power by a
minority acting on behalf of the domestic and US imperial ruling classes, and
they want to destroy the very democratic institutions and procedures (which it
exploits to gain political power). They target working class institutions from
communal councils, neighborhood associations, public health and dental clinics,
public schools, transport, subsidized food stores, political meeting places, public
credit unions, trade union organizations and peasant co-operatives. They
support capitalist banks, huge commercial landed estates, and manufacturing
firms. Extremist fascists should not be compromised with. They try to end
democratic institutions and they hate human liberties. First, the fascists are
not simply a small band confined to pounding on pots and attacking municipal
workers in the upper-middle class neighborhoods of Caracas for the benefit of
the international and corporate media. The fascists are organized on a national
basis; their members are active throughout the country. They act in a
decentralized fashion, but their strategy is centrally controlled. They target
vital institutions and infrastructure in numerous strategic locations. The fascists
unite with reactionary professors, drug traffickers, smuggling gangs,
paramilitary groups, etc. These terrorists have bombed health care clinics,
stores, and the public transport system. So, they want to overthrow the
democratic government of Venezuela. Some things are happening though to combat
this threat. The National Assembly has voted to strip Congresswoman Corina
Machado of her immunity as a deputy in the National Assembly so she can be
prosecuted for inciting violence. The President of the National Assembly
Diosdado Cabello has presented detailed documentary evidence of her role in
organizing and promoting armed rebellion. Several opposition mayors, who were
actively involved in promoting and protecting snipers, street thugs and
arsonists, have been charged and arrested. The paramilitary groups have links
to the business elite including the fascists. These terrorists bomb food
markets and attack the trucks transporting food to the poor neighborhood, so
these terrorists are the enemy. These fascists should be defeated.

MILINT Earth Day Ego & Ecological Literacy Revolution CommonSism Principles:
The earth is not flat. Earth's resources are not infinite.
Human And Nature DYnamics (HANDY) is based on the Alfred Lotka and Vitto Volterra predator-prey model, which described the dynamics of competition between two species; in that case wolves and rabbits. In HANDY studies humans are considered the "predator", while nature (the natural resources of the surrounding environment) is considered the "prey", depleted by humans.
Humans predatory behaviour consists of: Population growth and Consumption growth [Affluence x Technology].[Human Predator (I)mpact = PxC[AxT]]
Natural prey -- ecological Carrying Capacity -- or Nature/al Capital resources consist of: Non Renewable Natural Resources + Renewable Production + Recycling and Absorption. [CC=NNR+RP+RA]
The society is sustainable when the human predators consume and produce less than the available natural prey resources. It is unsustainable when humans overbreed or overconsume, above carrying capacity limits..
Population growth, and subsequent consumption growth is historically a result of Totalitarian agriculture, which is agriculture that produces surpluses, which need to be stored and protected. Consequently the consolidation of agriculture results in the centralization of political power.
Tribes that overbreed and/or overconsume their territories natural resources travel beyond their tribal territory to find resources they have over-consumed and degraded. In so doing enter another tribes territory, and economic, political or organized military violence warfare occurs over resources.
Centuries of conflict over resources generated a social contract founded upon phallic force (rule of force international treaties); that rewarded those who engage in seething energies of lucifer breeding and consumption wars; which bribe their tribes members to believe it is their 'inalienable [freedumb slavery] right' to breed and consume above carrying capacity limits; while denying personal responsibility for the human factory farming organized violence conquer and culling racism, sexism, nationalism, socialism, capitalism, nazism, islamism, zionism, corporatism, stalinism, human sacrifice culling, etc consequences; as people are motivated beyond retardation (motarded) to choose to join one or other ideological, religious, racial or cultural tribe to engage in resource war thieving to accumulate more resources to grow their tribe to enable it to protect itself from another tribes organized violence resource war thieving.
Humans who engage in totalitarian agriculture, engage in Predator-Prey Growth and Collapse of Civilization/Empire cycles: Greco-Rome, Minoan, Mycenaean, Sumerians, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Achaemenid, Seleucid, Zhou, Han, Tang, Song, Parthian, Sassanid, Umayyad, Abbasid, Mauryan, Gupta, Maya, Hittite, Harrapan and Teotihuacan. Collapses result from (1) Ecological Strain and (2) Economic Stratification and include the disappearance of between 90-99% of the populations (from famine, disease and organized violence resource wars) including their kings, Gods, calendars and other complex political and cultural institutions.
Humans who engage in sustainable procreation and consumption, by eliminating the overbreeding or overconsuming cheaters from their genepool engage in Keystone Predator-Prey socio-ecological systems.
Keystone Predators maintain Ecological Equilibrium between other predators and their prey: A keystone species -- like the Platteau Pika in China, the Black Tailed Prairie Dog in Arizona, Starfish in the Pacific Northwest -- act as Supreme Responsible Predators, who stop other lower predators from overbreeding or overconsuming the resources in an ecological system. Keystone Predator-prey systems enhance ecological equilibrium, biodiversity and balance.
CommonSism Jurisprudence, restricting all human cultures, religions, races, etc to procreating and consuming below regional, national and international carrying capacity limits; if implemented function as a form of 'legal /jurisprudence pika / prairie dog / starfish' Keystone predation, by eliminating the breeding and consuming predator cheaters, to (a) keep the system stable with regard to human population vis a vis other species and resources; and (b) restrict any one religion, race, or culture from overpredation; by outcompeting all other species (due to greater access to capital (consumption war predatory benefits) or human cannon fodder (breeding war predatory benefits).
