It has been the plight of humanity throughout the eco-political classes-based history that billions of people have got themselves slaughtered in wars by voluntarily associating themselves with either the Yellow or the Pink Devil/god, who they recognized for their masters not only for their control over the economy, but also for the self-muddle-headedness of the be-slaughtered.

Barring exceptions, Mental Independence has yet to be learnt (proclaiming it is a far too distant affair) by almost all the comrades "that have been" and "that are". The result is a very well-deserved international failure for one and a half centuries now. And this failure is the natural fruit of faint-heartedness and fuzziness.

You have to be an unbiased good referee/spectator (not a judge loaded with the bunkum of obsolete and naked world's constitutions and laws of robbery and justification of robbery) to speak about or watch the "games" being played by the world's predators or masters.

Our comrades have yet to learn that there is no fundamental difference between a Sadam Husain and a George Bush, or an Obama or a Gaddafi, just as there is no fundamental difference between one Chimpanzee and another. The difference is only of the time, place and circumstances--which everybody/everything is a product of.

When comrades appreciate Sadam Husain or Gadaffi and support them, or when they appreciate or support or vote for Bush or Obama (or UNO, Inhuman Rights, Freedom/Slavery of Expression, Democracy, civilized world...)--they give up their independence, they give up the possibility of forming their own independent team and easily join-in the readymade teams of Sadam and Bush, to show their dexterities in. Working class perspective is sent to dogs. They thus play into the hands of their bourgeoisie masters--for bourgeoisie want it exactly to be thus.

We are living in the world of extreme ruthlessness. Just as lions and other animals must fight and slaughter one another's offspring for earning their territories and rights to dominate and rule, sadly, our own species' world has also been so for thousands of years now.

Let everybody be clear that, for example, whatever is happening in Libya is not going on because NATO and the class ruling NATO has any human feeling or sympathy for the wretched-made people of Libya; on the contrary, Gulliver's Travels (published in 1726 or so) explains it beautifully, exactly and very clearly. The Libyan people have been wretched for ages now, and they are vulnerable, so there is a good opportunity, among other things, to destroy their outmoded weaponry and sell them new, sophisticated arsenal--and besides, the control of the armed forces all over the world, even in the wretched-most and backward-most pockets, must go into the hands of the monopoly bourgeoisie class of the world.

And the most dreadful of all things: The events in Greece have clearly demonstrated that the people there have had no concern about the great torch-bearers of wisdom, i.e. the great philosophers; immortal for the last 2500 years, from generation to generation in different parts of the world. They have only been fully concerned with the farts of US presidents, presidential candidates and IMF chiefs instead.
