No, you go instead.

Start differentiating between the government and the state. They’re not synonymous.

🤮🤣

as Kropotkin once pointed out, the whole system of law courts & prisons is essentially only
''organised vengeance called justice''.

The Law originated with the emergence of the private property/class society in Ancient Mesopotamia.
British justice has always been what it is today: an arm of the state machine which exists to defend the interests of the ruling class at home & abroad. Nor could it be anything else since,

The Flotillas to Gaza Are the World’s Conscience The numerous attempts by activists in flotillas, to break the siege on Gaza, are a potent reminder that hope comes through acts of resistance and that we must never accept the status quo.

There will be a new flotilla in April 2026 that will attempt to break the 18-year-old Israeli blockade of Gaza. The mission is expected to be the largest maritime action for Palestine to date, involving more than 3,000 activists.

Well I might start supporting Edinburgh uni as they have just answered correctly questions on the first international. Very impressive!

The thing about these peaceful religions is often a product of the western imagination, the idea of far-off people living these incredibly peaceful & wise lives. For me, Buddhism, like other religions is an opiate for the workers. Well, what did you expect! 😉

I think the popular conception is that all Buddhists are peaceful, simply by virtue of the fact that they call themselves Buddhists. Nothing can be further from the truth. States where Buddhism is the dominant tradition have engaged in many wars & conflicts .

Aleph!🤣
To be honest, I know very little about Buddhism or any religion due to my secular upbringing & education. I am aware that many people have a soft spot for Buddhism & as a religion it frequently escapes criticism.

I'm looking forward to reading it. 👍😊

Guess what..... '' Under capitalism the overwhelming mass of products are promoted solely for the purpose of profit, that was not true of any previous social system, neither in ancient , nor in medieval times'.
