the destruction of love in social reality.

Now, the Trump administration is offering an educational resource through its Council of Economic Advisors that asks whether or not socialism has ever delivered on its promises?
It’s an empirical question, contends the 72-page report The Opportunity Cost of Socialism.
It looks at hard data to evaluate among others the Nordic states that many on the left now hold up as models.
What about the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland that are so often cited by the left? Our countries, the panel contends, also
support the conclusion that socialism reduces living standards.
However,
in many respects, the Nordic countries’ policies now differ significantly from what economists have in mind when they think of socialism.
For instance, they do not provide healthcare for ‘free’; Nordic healthcare financing includes substantial cost sharing. Marginal labor income tax rates in the Nordic countries today are only somewhat higher than in the United States, and Nordic taxation overall is surprisingly less progressive than U.S. taxes.
The Nordic countries also tax capital income less and regulate product markets less than does the United States.
Living standards in the Nordic countries, they note, are at least 15 percent lower than in the United States.
The report examines not only the track record of socialist experiments that once were vaunted in the West, such as the Soviet Union, Cuba and Venezuela.
The raport begin by pointing out that with the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth,
socialism is making a comeback in American political discourse.
They reference a broad body of literature on the subject and delve into
socialism’s historic visions and intents, its economic features, its impact on economic performance, and its relationship with recent policy proposals in the United States.
We find that historical proponents of socialist policies and those in the contemporary United States share some of their visions and intents.
They both characterize the distribution of income in market economies as the unjust result of ‘exploitation,’ which should be rectified by extensive state control.
so you are socialist.

Karl Marx's concept of socialism follows from his concept of man.
It should be clear by now that according to this concept, socialism is not a society of regimented, automatized individuals, regardless of whether there is equality of income or not, and regardless of whether they are well fed and well clad.
It is not a society in which the individual is subordinated to the state, to the machine, to the bureaucracy. Even if the state as an abstract capitalist were the employer, even if
 the entire social capital were united in the hands either of a single capitalist or a single capitalist corporation,
sais Marx. This would not be socialism. In fact, as Marx says quite clearly in the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts,
Communism as such is not the aim of human development. 
Now we can ask then, what is the aim?
Quite clearly, by Marx, the aim of socialism is the coming man.
It is to create a form of production and an organization of society in which man can overcome alienation from his product, from his work, from his fellow man, from himself and from nature; in which he can return to himself and grasp the world with his own powers, thus becoming one with the world. Socialism for Marx was a resistance movement against the destruction of love in social reality.
Perhaps in our opinion, democracy is the idea that we can, and often it the only way, decide on almost everything in society collectively.
Karl Marx said that democracy is the road to socialism, 
but the Socialist Party of the United States said that Democracy and Socialism are one and indivisible. 


There's no empty space

There is a great pumpkin.
Maybe it arrived too late for Halloween this year, but an eerie, skull-shaped asteroid that some are calling the death comet with a diameter of roughly 600 meters, came back for another visit.
We  cannot see it "with the naked eye".
On November 11, asteroid 2015 TB145 will zoom past Earth at a distance of 25 million miles.
However it was discovered on October 10, 2015, by the Pan-telescope high atop the dormant Haleakala volcano on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
What it the our closer comet?
It occurred on October 31, 2015. This space rock  flew past at a much closer distance of about 300,000 miles. (the moon orbits Earth at an average distance of 239,000 miles).

”those security people are fucking morons”

Yes, they are, but you're coming back now...
as that's all you have :-(. *
I'm starting the usual merge window activity now,
said Linus Torvalds to ZDnet.
But according to ZDnet it's not going to be kernel development as usual.
We did talk about the fact that now Greg Kroah-Hartman has write rights to my kernel tree, and if will be easier to just share the load if we want to, and maybe we'll add another maintainer after further discussion.
During his break he wanted to
take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people's emotions and respond appropriately.
I expect it to be a continuing process, but for now I have an email filter in place that might be expanded upon or modified as needed or as I come up with more esoteric swearing (like perkeleen vittupää?).
And I have been talking weekly with a professional, although again right now my travel is messing with that schedule.
Good.

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.  This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready.  I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things). 
I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want.  Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)
Linus (torv...@kruuna.helsinki.fi)
PS.  Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(. 
You will tell now Linus, what you are, but did not tell what kind of clever boy you were there. Tell, and tell something about the reasons of your change.
I would like the know, because i have seen something same many times.

Dom är rädda för att de blir blåa

 ©Ville Ranta.
Här kommer utrikesministern Timo Soini. Han kallar miljöskydd för onödig hysteri.
Ingen borde vara överraskad då, därför att Timo Soini och sitt partie Blå framtid bara behöver all uppmärksamhet de kan få i världen.
Soini kan förändringa saker sådana sett att svart blir vit bara med sin retorik.
Man sa att vare sig det handlar om miljöfrågor eller abort följer Timo Soinis utspel samma "invanda mönster"  som tidigare.
Allvarligt är han rädd och det finns någ hans egna förvrängda fiendens bilder: finnas Vänster, De Gröna, SFP och de andra intellektuella.

the female astronomer

Astronomers (1645) of Niccolò Tornioli
(Siena, 1598 - Rome,1651)
There were in Rome active female astronomers at the end of the 16th century.
The curse of the Catholic Church faced not only the artists and their work (an example of the work), including the models.
The works were destroyed if it were possible.
By the way.
Isaac Newton's Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, published in 1728, one year after the great man's death, unleashed a storm of controversy.
Newton strove for nearly half a century to rectify universal history by reading ancient texts through the lens of astronomy, and to create a tight theoretical system for interpreting the evolution of civilization on the basis of population dynamics.
It was during Newton's earliest years at Cambridge that he developed the core of his singular method for generating and working with trustworthy knowledge, which he applied to his study of the past with the same rigor he brought to his work in physics and mathematics.
Newton was the natural philosopher, alchemist, theologian, and chronologist of ancient history.

Jucka sig

Musikern Jukka Tolonens liv tog fart på nytt. I dag är man som en ny människa. Yle intervjuade honom.
Men kan man påminna allt. När före det hade Jukka nästan dödat sin flickvän.
Vi skrattade, spelade vi The Knife -låten av Genesis att tillägnad den till honom.
I dag är han övertygad om att det var bönerna i fängelset som gjorde att hon klarade liv-hanken.
Senast Kjell Ekholm träffade den före detta toppgitarristen var han en tragisk uppenbarelse.
Sant, Tolonen spelade helt bra i mitten av 90-tale men man kunde se att allt inte stod rätt till i hans privatliv.

”Going, going, gone ...” skrev bildkonstnären som härstammar från Bristol

Det verkar som vi just blev `Baksyade´, 
sade Alex Branczik på Sothebys enligt The Guardian.
I vår serie: i världen händer.
Banksys verkliga namn och ålder är inte kända, men ofta tros han vara en infödd Yate-bo  - nära Bristol.
Man tror att han är född 1974, men det finns en stor allmän osäkerhet om hans identitet och biografiska detaljer.
Namn som vid flera tillfällen har kopplats till Banksy är Robert Banks och Robin Gunningham.
Enligt Tristan Manco föddes Banksy 1974 och växte upp i Bristol, England. Han var son till en fotokopieringsingenjör, praktiserade som slaktare men blev involverad i graffiti under den stora aerosol-boomen i Bristol under sent 1980-tal.
Enligt en annan uppgift i tidningen The Daily Mail on Sunday från juli 2008 sades Banksy vara en då 34-årig man vid namn Robin Gunningham från Bristol.
En tavla av den välkände brittiske gatukonstnären Banksy såldes på auktion för 12 miljoner kronor i fredags.
Direkt efteråt strimlades den sönder inför besökarna.
Motivet var ett av Banksys mer kända: En flicka som sträcker sig efter en hjärtformad ballong. När bilden, och ramen, auktionerades ut hos det välkända auktionshuset Sothebys i London landade den på över en miljon brittiska pund, runt 12 miljoner kronor.
Sen hände det.
Strax efter att tavlan klubbats gled motivet ner genom en dokumentförstörare som hade byggts in i ramens underkant. Konstnären själv la upp en bild på det förstörda konstverket via Instagram.
Det är enligt Expressen oklart om händelsen gjort att konstverket ökat i värde, eller förstört det.

Kommentera ifrån felaktigt tänkande och falska strävandena

©️ malmo.agendajamlikhet.se
Näringslivet EK vill begränsa rätten till politiska strejker. Finlands EK: Lagstiftningen som tillåter politiska strejker borde ändras skyndsamt, för att dämpa de skadliga konsekvenserna för "oskyldiga företag". Om det ska komma so att begränsas rätten till sådana politiska strejker, fackföreningsrörelsen kommer att förlora all sin makt.
Dom vet det. alla vet det.
Lyckligtvis kommer att regeringen att förändras snart.
