  15 July 2019, by Robert Paris
  Charles Fourier, “The Rise of Commerce and the Birth of Political Economy” Well! Why have nations taken so long to realise that the commercial order is a temporary monstrosity, an utterly senseless system that places the three productive classes — proprietors, farmers and manufacturers — at the mercy of a parasitical class which has no national loyalty and which can do whatever it wishes with the fruits of industry over which it exercises arbitrary control? So faulty a system is obviously the (...)

• Conversation between D’Alembert and Diderot

  12 November 2018, by Robert Paris
  d’Alembert: I confess that a Being who exists somewhere and yet corresponds to no point in space, a Being who, lacking extension, yet occupies-space; who is present in his entirety in every part of that space, who is essentially different from matter and yet is one with matter, who follows its motion, and moves it, without himself being in motion, who acts on matter and yet is subject to all its vicissitudes, a Being about whom I can form no idea; a Being of so contradictory a nature, is an (...)

• Private Property and Communism

  28 October 2018, by Robert Paris
  Karl Marx Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 Private Property and Communism The antithesis between lack of property and property, so long as it is not comprehended as the antithesis of labour and capital, still remains an indifferent antithesis, not grasped in its active connection, in its internal relation, not yet grasped as a contradiction. It can find expression in this first form even without the advanced development of private property (as in ancient Rome, Turkey, etc.). (...)

  25 October 2018, by Robert Paris

  18 October 2018, by Robert Paris
  Struggles Make History — Don’t Wait For the Politicians The elections are approaching and people are asking, what can we get from these elections? Some people are turning their hopes towards the politicians who are running, especially those from the Democratic Party. It’s not surprising because we are told this is how change is made in history – by important politicians.
