Det finns små behov

på HS.
Varningsskyltenskaparen och serietecknaren Pertti Jarla kommer här.
Borgås cykelvägar har fått nya trafikskyltar. Under sommaren dyker även roliga skyltar à la serietecknaren Jarla upp.
Jarla fortsätter spekulera om parkeringsskyltar också kunde göras roligare i staden som gjort sig känd - eller ökänd - för noggrann parkeringsövervakning.
i Koppstan (Kuopio) har världens mest knepiga trafiksvakatarer.
Dom böter motorcyklar och även polisbilar.


People whith low intelligence won't come here

Theosophist Yrjö Kallinen
 said some of the same.
Many has  wondering, why might less intelligent people be drawn to conservative ideologies?
Reality is complicated and messy. Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies.
Because such ideologies feature structure and order that make it easier to comprehend a complicated world.  Unfortunately, many of these features can also contribute to prejudice, claims a new study from Brock University in Ontario.
According to dr. Gordon Hodson, a professor of psychology at the university and the study’s lead author, said the finding represented evidence of a vicious cycle:
People of low intelligence gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, which stress resistance to change and, in turn, prejudice.
The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

Jag kan inte tro på det här.

The Last Judgment is a fresco
by the Italian Renaissance
painter Michelangelo.
Här kommer sexbrottsligheter som kommit till myndigheternas kännedom, 2019, 1:a kvartalet, enligt Statistik över brott och tvångsmedel.
Enligt Statistikcentralens preliminära uppgifter fick polisen under första kvartalet år 2019 kännedom om totalt 379 sexbrott mot strafflagen, och sen!
Antalet anmälda våldtäkter var 27,6 procent fler än under motsvarande period året innan.
Det menar nästan 30 procent fler våldtäkter och sexuella utnyttjanden av barn kom till kännedom. Vad du säjer om det?
I almanhet enligt Statistikcentralens preliminära uppgifter fick polisen, tullen och gränsbevakningen under första kvartalet år 2019 kännedom om totalt 93 800 brott mot strafflagen, vilket är 2 700 fall (2,8 procent) färre än under januari–mars år 2018.

I believe in spirit that cannot be compromised

Photographed by I self.
The time has come.
Last month Dalai Lama said that it was possible that once he dies his incarnation could be found in India and warned that any other successor named by China would not be respected.
China, which took control of Tibet in 1950, brands the that Nobel peace laureate a dangerous separatist.
China imperialists has said its leaders have the right to approve the Dalai Lama's successor, as a legacy inherited from China's emperors.
We suspect any Chinese role as a ploy to exert influence on the community.
But those whose tradition holds that the soul of a senior Buddhist monk is reincarnated in the body of a child, on is death.
They are dead so them must be find first.
Traditionally, the title is bestowed on the highest-ranking leader in Tibetan Buddhism. It is given to those deemed to be the reincarnation of a line of revered religious teachers.
According to Independent there were asked in a recent interview what might happen after Dalai's death, the Dalai Lama anticipated a possible attempt by Beijing to foist a successor on Tibetan Buddhists.
He said that if two Dalai Lamas were to appear nobody will respect the one chosen by China.
Still I think that China is going to du that. They dot not unerstand the reality of the spiritual world.
Reincarnation of living Buddhas including the Dalai Lama must comply with Chinese laws and regulations and follow religious rituals and historical conventions.
says Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang.
When the Dalai toured the world, his personal security arrangements were quite shocking level.
Why?
I think that everybody knows.
I believe all will endure, and all will overcome.

inte ens.

Li Andersson.
Vänsterförbundet får nu 9,6 procent av gallupstödet.
Här kommer Vänsterförbundets ordförande Li Andersson.  Vänsterförbundet går till riksdagsval med denna populär partiordförande.
Li säger att det är mycket osannolikt att Vänsterförbundet skulle gå in i nya regeringen med sannfinländarna.
Det skulle förutsätta stora ändringar i politiken. De fattiga ska få lägre skatter - de rika högre.
Det skulle förutsätta att sannfinnsparties linje ändras grundligt.
Vi har stora krav, 
säger Andersson.
Vi kommer inte ge upp ens en tum till rasisterna! 
(Helsingin Sanomats färska gallup ger jämnt 15 procent med Sannfinländarna).
så Vänsterförbundet vill in i regeringen – men vägrar försämra för dem som har det sämst.
Mer, på finska:
On hyvä tietää, että koko PS-edustajaryhmä painoi vihreää nappia pienituloisiin kohdistuneissa leikkauksissa. 
Li Andersson.



Back to Marx - ac-tu-al-ly is a noun.

Soviet's poster for the International Women’s Day
Year 1935 (?)
Listen,
The Marxist tradition can be kept alive as an essential political component of the Left.
Marxist crisis theory can show how a rejuvenated notion of exploitation can illuminate the analysis of the class structure of welfare state capitalism or the assessment of international migration.
Philippe van Parijs has convictionded about that.
The structure and potential of historical materialism as a general theory of social change.
They explore and advocate a ‘capitalist road to communism’ that expands the realm of freedom while bypassing socialism, and they develop those aspects of the Marxist project consistent with ecological concerns.

However the last idea brings us back to Steven Lukes’s question:
Can a Marxist believe in Human Rights?’
If a ’Marxist’ is someone who follows the Marxist text with literalist fervour, the answer undoubtedly remains ’no’. 
If, however, a Marxist is someone who – albeit recognizing that Marxist theories are
shot through with errors of detail, even have basic conceptual flaws, yet remain immensely fertile in their overall conception
simply can trace the ancestry of his most important beliefs back to Marx.
Te answer then becomes: ’Yes, she can. And in fact, she should’. This moreover, is what S. Lukes himself means when he asks whether the Marxist conception of liberty can really be achieved without elaborating a true theory of justice and rights in its support.
Lukes, Steven, 1985:  page 149. Marxism and Morality, Oxford: Clarendon Press.

In point of fact Marx saw that humans make both their life activity and 'species' the object of their will. They relate to their life activity, and are not simply identical with it. But Human, according to Marx, are capable of making or shaping their own nature to some extent.
