The Democratic Socialists are socialists of the fascist persuasion. Some say that cannot be because socialists are those who believe all the means of production and all property should be owned by the government. I reject that argument. Prior to WWII, the fascists were commonly accepted to be socialists. They were nationalists, but there is no contradiction created by a nationalist socialism. They did not generally believe the government should own all property or all of the means of production. No, they were much more cunning than those Communists and the various off-shoots ...

To any society prior to 2020, it would have been obvious that the first approach is not only logical and proportionate, but the one least likely to have other unintended and highly destructive consequences.

A newly-fallen snow At the end of winter when afternoons return. Pink and white carnations- one desires So much more than that.

An English muffin. Sit on the terrace. The sky a deep violet. Then rose. Then gold. Simplicity. The ...

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. " - Fyodor Dostoevsky, "The Brothers Karamazov"

*“October”* "There’s this shape, black as the entrance to a cave. A longing wells up in its throat like a blossom as it breathes slowly. What does the world mean to you if you can’t trust it to go on shining when you’re not there? and there’s a tree, long-fallen; once the bees flew to it, like a procession of messengers, and filled it with honey. I said to the chickadee, singing his heart out in the green pine tree: little dazzler little song, little mouthful. The shape climbs up out of the curled grass. It grunts into view.

"All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action of every man, even of those who hang themselves." - Blaise Pascal
