Communism deprives no man of the power to appropriate the products of society; all that it does is to deprive him of the power to subjugate the labour of others by means of such appropriations.
It has been objected that upon the abolition of private property, all work will cease, and universal laziness will overtake us.
According to this, bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything do not work. The whole of this objection is but another expression of the tautology: that there can no longer be any wage-labour when there is no longer any capital.
- Karl Marx

It would not be worthwhile living if the star of socialism, the star of the future were not shining down on mankind. For the “ego” cannot live if in itself it does not contain the rest of the world and the people. Such is the nature of this “ego.”

Israeli settlers are using a telegram channel called "Nazi Hunters" that is literally dedicated to sending Nazi style lynch mobs to target school children, singers, and anyone who has committed the crime of being Palestinian.

The aim which the Americans are pursuing, arose out of the economic troubles, out of the economic crisis. The Americans want to rid themselves of the crisis on the basis of private capitalist activity, without changing the economic basis. They are trying to reduce to a minimum the ruin, the losses caused by the existing economic system. Here, however, as you know, in place of the old, destroyed economic basis, an entirely different, a new economic basis has been created. Even if the Americans you mention partly achieve their aim, i.e., reduce these losses to a minimum, they will not destroy the roots of the anarchy which is inherent in the existing capitalist system. They are preserving the economic system which must inevitably lead, and cannot but lead, to anarchy in production. Thus, at best, it will be a matter, not of the reorganisation of society, not of abolishing the old social system which gives rise to anarchy and crises, but of restricting certain of its excesses. Subjectively, perhaps, these Americans think they are reorganising society; objectively, however, they are preserving the present basis of society.
That is why, objectively, there will be no reorganisation of society.
Nor will there be planned economy. What is planned economy? What are some of its attributes? Planned economy tries to abolish unemployment. Let us suppose it is possible, while preserving the capitalist system, to reduce unemployment to a certain minimum.
But surely, no capitalist would ever agree to the complete abolition of unemployment, to the abolition of the reserve army of unemployed, the purpose of which is to bring pressure on the labour market, to ensure a supply of cheap labour. Here you have one of the rents in the "planned economy" of bourgeois society. Furthermore, planned economy presupposes increased output in those branches of industry which produce goods that the masses of the people need particularly. But you know that the expansion of production under capitalism takes place for entirely different motives, that capital flows into those branches of economy in which the rate of profit is highest. You will never compel a capitalist to incur loss to himself and agree to a lower rate of profit for the sake of satisfying the needs of the people. Without getting rid of the capitalists, without abolishing the principle of private property in the means of production, it is impossible to create planned economy.

Any condemnation from collective West or @OPCW? Such claims in #Syria #Douma 2018 led to bombing #Damascus by #US #UK #France. Will they now bomb chemical weapon facilities in #Zionist settler state? (rhetorical Q)

These kids survived apartheid Israel’s massacre in Jabaliya today. They are refugees born to refugees turned homeless again and again.
Do they need to attend a rave for Western media to find them relatable enough to hear their cries and splash their faces on the front page?

Israel is America's little military base in the "middle east". The USA happily took over colonial control of the occupation from Britain because of its significance to any interests they have in the region. The Arabic states (+ African & Persian) could easily have the ability to cause real issues to the western hegemony, so they must be continuously disrupted. Israel is in prime position to do that including a base for any resource extraction.
This is why Israel, apparently the only democracy in the east, still has connoscription. They need to maintain a military state, plus the brainwashing of the more liberal Israeli youth is a damn site easier when they are forced into armed combat with a perceived enemy.

Right now I'm sat in A&E with my little one who's got some sort of flu like virus. He's ok, but as a parent you worry about everything.
As I'm sitting here I'm looking over news about Palestine and it strikes me how lucky I am that my only worry for my boy is a high temperature and sore throat. I couldn't imagine waking up every day wondering if my children will be harmed or waiting in a hospital to be treated after being caught in a rocket attack. Not even being able to feel safe in a hospital due Israel's callous lack of empathy for human life.
Worry and pain is all relevant to your situation, I can not help but feel the injustice of it all.
