Hungry Hungry Hippos: A metaphor for capitalism
March 10, 2012
by Justin Hayden If I were into conspiracy theories, I’d say the Milton Bradley Company is a propagandistic arm of the capitalist machine that has, for decades, been utilizing games as a means to mold the minds of our youth. Milton Bradley himself had an interest in kindergarten education and, according to the wisdom of […]
Fascism Forecast 2012
January 28, 2012
Bourgeois Debts, Doubts Spell More Darkness on the World-Historical Horizon by Anthony Burton The fat-headed Winston Churchill once famously remarked that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others that have been attempted. The irony of this statement, of course, is that Churchill – whose failures in colonial administration had produced […]
Conservative values evoke one-sided materialism, Tim Tebow’s theological trickery
January 14, 2012
by Frank W. Strauch Many people often make the mistake of asserting that Man is created in the image of God, but, in fact, it works the other way around. Since the supersensual world of the Idea is nothing more than the reflection and externalization of the sensual world of Matter, then why does Tim […]
Occupy Movement and Ron Paul defend Small Business Owners against their Workers
January 7, 2012
by Frank W. Strauch Why is it that everyone flies the American flag at the Occupy movement? Why is it that so many occupiers who consider themselves to be on the Left speak of “restoring” the American constitution? Do they not realize that they sound exactly like Ron Paul, who never tires of singing the […]
A Selecting Stones Review of 2011, and a Warm Welcome to 2012
December 31, 2011
by the Scientific Editors of Selecting Stones It goes without saying that 2011 has been an eventful year. One crisis after another. We could get into all the details, but let’s try to keep this short, instead, because the past is in the past, and the future is what matters. The Arab Spring, perpetual economic […]
Can Kansas City Be Occupied in Absentia?
December 5, 2011
by Anthony Burton Reporting from Kansas City, MO: In his tremendously superficial and treasonous little book, What’s the Matter with Kansas?, the inane Mr. Thomas Frank, a local man of letters, and a person of great privilege and noble distinction in these parts, openly struggles to settle accounts with the endless embarrassments of growing up […]
Wall Street Has Betrayed Everything Existing, Except Westboro Baptist Church
November 7, 2011
by Anthony Burton It is the most ancient and essential premise of patriarchy, according to the leading school of thought on the subject, that the first kings were fathers of families, from which it somehow follows that the first cause of the fall of Adam, or the original sin, was the desire for liberty. Not […]
Confusion, Chaos, and the Theology of Occupy Wall Street
October 26, 2011
by Anthony Burton As anyone who has witnessed these ongoing “anti-greed” demonstrations firsthand probably already realizes, the underlying question preoccupying the minds of the Occupy Wall Street protestors for the last however many weeks has been largely theological: is the social production of wealth compatible with good divinity? After many, many hours of superficial meditation […]
Why are there so many Ron Paul supporters at Occupy Wall Street?
October 23, 2011
by Bruno Fournier For the past several weeks, the contingent of Ron Paul supporters at the Occupy Wall Street protest has made its presence felt. They form a small minority of the mass at Zuccotti Park, but they have made themselves an extremely visible and vocal minority, and, arguably, they have created the best-organized faction […]
Time to Die
July 24, 2011
by Anonymous Imagine there’s no heaven or hell, no countries and no religion, no possessions, greed or hunger…“it’s easy if you try.” Imagine a brotherhood of man, a world as one, etc. Live for today, live in peace, share all the world. Imagine there’s nothing to kill or die for. An impassioned protest, perhaps, but […]
Struggle or Extinction? And Other Inexorable Questions
May 1, 2011
by Phil Ingram It has been said that any thinker who is proceeding along the philosophical road must eventually cross the bridge known as the most basic question of philosophy – materialism or idealism: the relationship of being and consciousness – before he or she can seriously begin delving into those “general theoretical, world-view questions […]
