Heh. I meant "true" in the sense of true to the spirit, if not the letter.:)

Spoken like a true Jew. "But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other."--Mt 5:39

Lot's of online anti-Jewish goofs love to quote that snippet. They hate, however, to read the full context: Waton was an ardent defender of Jews and Judaism against Hitler and anti-semites. For views similar to his from a non-Jew, see John Macmurray's The Clue to History. Macmurray writes...

Chaos simply cannot explain the cohesiveness of living organisms. Chaos is counterbalanced by order. Nature is the visible manifestation of order, logic, purpose, and reason. As Waton puts it: Today's biologists try in every way to deny the self-evident rationality of the evolutionary process...

Chaos is indeed at the foundation of existence, but it is only part of the story. It is the initial state of maximum entropy and formlessness. From this initial state, reason starts to manifest itself, integrating the diffused matter and bringing out the material world with its infinite forms...

Here is a definition from Waton: Waton argues that the distinction between philosophy and religion is that the former is based on reason while the latter is based on intuition. He argues further that the coordination of intuition and reason results in the intellect, the highest development of...

Basic components of Marxism were implemented in the United States by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Yehuda Ashlag calls for a second stage of communism. He calls it altruistic communism: This is the way forward for mankind.

The overall trend of history is toward ever greater integration and cooperation: families to clans to bands to tribes to nations to supernations. This development is always accomplished in spite of violent resistance. Until now, the constraints on behavior have been generally imposed externally...

^There are externally imposed constraints on individual behavior, eg. law. Cultivating internal discipline is just that, a question of cultivation and discipleship. At present, there are few who are able to overcome ignorance, prejudice, superstition and narrow self-interest. These few need to...

^Yup. Something to work toward.

Mankind is evolving from anti-social to pro-social existence. This requires discipline. As Waton puts it: Eventually, people will internalize the requisite pro-social discipline and external compulsion will no longer be necessary. "I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts."

Exactly. You mean they made it work with real world flesh and blood humans? Erm, Q.E.D.?

That is indeed the nub of the issue.

China and Russia are today world powers. This is the direct result of Marxism. Here is Waton on this: "Pretty soon" may yet be a long time. But perhaps not.

However defective the implementation of Marxism in those countries, it did catapult them into dominant global powers in less than a century. To be human is to be social. Politics is result of the individual's alienation from his own social power which is in turn the result of economic...

^I started with a response to your rant against philosophy, and it was you who then went into a rant against Marxism.

^I'm not interested in political discussion. As Marx puts it, communism is the overcoming of man as political being in favour of man as social being:

^I beg to differ. The current global order is state capitalism of which the political form is fascism. This will last until the working people develop sufficient self-discipline to usher in universal communism.

I just want to find people who might be interested in the same things as me. I also want to do what I can to bring about the new order by attacking the old. I don't really care about what people consider to be necessary to be Jewish. I have my own interpretation of the requirements.
