At the outset a little incident seemed to transfer the sedate diplomats of the central powers into the atmosphere of a Shavian comedy. A preamble to the treaty contained the respectable cliché that the contracting parties desired to live in peace and friendship. The authors of the draft could not expect this to give rise to objections. They were mistaken. ‘I would take the liberty’, Trotsky said, ‘to propose that the second phrase [about friendship between the contracting powers] be deleted. Its thoroughly conventional, ornamental style does not correspond, so it seems, to the dry business-like sense of the document.’39 Half-amused and half-scandalized, the professional diplomats could not see the point: Was Trotsky speaking seriously? And how could he dismiss so lofty a statement as ornamental and conventional? ‘But such declarations’, Trotsky pertly went on, ‘copied from one diplomatic document into another, have never yet characterized the real relations between states’; he could only hope that more serious factors would shape these relations in the future. For a moment the diplomats felt as if they had been told that their emperors and they themselves were naked. What were those ‘more serious factors’? And what formula would Trotsky propose? He could give them his formula, Trotsky said, but they would not accept it anyhow. The comic wrangle went on for a while, and the words about friendship disappeared from the draft.
Instantly, Donald was enthused. "Yeah, I never liked the guy. I don't think he knows what the fuck he's doing. My accountants up in New York are always complaining about him. He's not responsive. And isn't it funny, I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting 142 highlightere my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else."
In July 1940 the Vichy government sets up a commission to study the cases of 'aliens' naturalized after 1927, many of whom then have their French citizenship revoked, thus depriving thousands of foreign-born citizens - mainly Jews - of the protection of the French state. With the loss of their

Through the greater part of the proceedings, the majority treated lightly the Bolsheviks and their associates. When Tseretelli, pleading for the coalition government, challenged the delegates to say whether there was a single party in Russia prepared alone to shoulder responsibility for government, Lenin interrupted from the floor to say that his party was prepared for that. The majority drowned Lenin’s words in hilarious laughter. The delegates from the provinces were not aware that in Petrograd the opposition’s influence was already growing like an avalanche. Lenin was eager to impress them and to show them that Petrograd demanded an end to the coalition and the formation of a Socialist ministry, that is of a ministry consisting only of the moderate Socialists. Despite his statement from the floor of the Congress, which was a declaration of principle, not of immediate purpose, Lenin did not yet aim at the overthrow of the government. Still less did he favour a coalition between the moderate Socialists and his own party. As long as the Bolsheviks were a minority in the Soviets, he urged his followers not to play at seizing power but ‘patiently to explain their attitude to the masses’, until they gained the majority. This was the crux of his Soviet constitutionalism. In the meantime, the Bolshevik slogan was not ‘Down with the government’, but ‘Down with the ten capitalist ministers!’ Overcoming the forebodings in his own Central Committee, Lenin was in great secrecy preparing a monster demonstration under this slogan for 10 June. Trotsky, dispelling his friends’ misgivings, induced the Inter-Borough Organization to join in the demonstration. But on 9 June, Isaac Deutscher. The Prophet (Function). Kindle Edition.

There is not the least doubt (and it has since then been proved many times practically) that the general development of modern society is along the line of a constant increase of the duties of municipalities and the extension of municipal freedom, that the municipality will be an ever more important lever of social emancipation. Eduard Bernstein. Evolutionary Socialism (p. 216). (Function). Kindle Edition.
Socialism will create no new bondage of any kind whatever. The individual is to be free, not in the metaphysical sense, as the anarchists dreamed – i.e., free from all duties towards the community – but free from every economic compulsion in his action and choice of a calling. Such freedom is only possible for all by means of organisation. In this sense one might call socialism “organising liberalism,” for when one examines more closely the organisations that socialism wants and how it wants them, he will find that what distinguishes them above all from the feudalistic organisations, outwardly like them, is just their liberalism, their democratic constitution, their accessibility. Therefore the trade union, striving after an arrangement similar to a guild, is, in the eyes of the socialist, the product of self-defence against the tendency of capitalism to overstock the labour market; but, at the same time, just on account of its tendency towards a guild, and to the degree in which that obtains, is it an unsocialistic corporate body. Eduard Bernstein. Evolutionary Socialism (pp. 211-212). (Function). Kindle Edition.
Liberalism had historically the task of breaking the chains which the fettered economy and the corresponding organisations of law of the middle ages had imposed on the further development of society. That it at first strictly maintained the form of bourgeois liberalism did not stop it from actually expressing a very much wider-reaching general principle of society whose completion will be socialism. Eduard Bernstein. Evolutionary Socialism (p. 211). (Function). Kindle Edition.

Unlike, that is, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, who announced on X on Thursday: "I've decided to leave this platform and my department will too. A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate." She's certainly right about that. Abuse and misinformation are everywhere on X. Foreign bots run amok; there are entire factories in Russia and elsewhere which exist to drive misinformation and stir up hate on X and other social media. But that's exactly why I stay.

The 2028 presidential election is perhaps the most consequential question tacing the socialist movement right now. DSA has never been stronger, with new socialists in office from Congress to city councils and a membership of over 100,000. And the stakes are high, with the current administration starting "whenever wars" abroad and killing our neighbors in the streets. More and more people are disaffected with both parties and looking to us for leadership. That means the opportunity for our socialist movement to reach masses of regular working people is here. So this summer, we're asking what you think. Should we endorse a high-profile candidate? Run a relatively unknown candidate? Make no endorsement but instead focus on Congressional races? How can whatever choice we make grow DSA as a party? We're a democratic organization, and that means we'll be making the decision together as a membership. That means we want to hear from you!

I feared this because, according to family lore, Mamaw had nearly killed a man. When she was around twelve, Mamaw walked outside to see two men loading the family's cow—a prized possession in a world without running water-into the back of a truck. She ran inside, grabbed a rifle, and fired a few rounds. One of the men collapsed-the result of a shot to the leg-and the other jumped into the truck and squealed away. The would-be thief could barely crawl, so Mamaw approached him, raised the business end of her rifle to the man's head, and prepared to finish the job. Luckily for him, Uncle Pet intervened. Mamaw's first confirmed kill would have to wait for another day. Even knowing what a pistol-packing lunatic Mamaw was, find this story hard to believe. I polled members of my family, and about half had never heard the story. The part I believe is that she would have murdered the man if someone hadn't stopped her. She loathed disloyalty, and there was no greater disloyalty than class betrayal. Each time someone stole a bike from our porch (three times, by my count), or broke into her car and took the loose change, or stole a delivery, she'd tell me, like a general giving his troops marching orders, "There is nothing lower than the poor stealing from the poor. It's hard enough as it is. We sure as hell don't need to make it even harder on each other."

There was slight sentiment for disarmament in such a bellicose society, though someone noticed that when two Frenchmen got together, they talked of the necessity for reducing the military budget—but three Frenchmen would always talk of extending French influence over Europe. In 1848 one socialist (Cabet, who had sent off a group of colonists to found an ideal community in Texas) tried to have protection for conscientious objectors put into the law, but without success. Strangely enough Emile de Girardin, the hardheaded publisher of La Presse, advocated immediate and unconditional reduction of the armed forces by 200,000, with the hope that France would also press for universal disarmament. No one else thought of such a thing, and they all considered Girardin a materialist.

A Soviet colonel recalled that when he arrived ten minutes early for a meeting in the Soviets mess hall, the Chinese military advisers were just leaving. The North Vietnamese quickly changed a slogan in the mess hall that put down Soviet revisionism and replaced it with one supporting their Soviet brothers.
Another job convicts were used for was the production of cantonal currency, which relied on the skills of the most renowned counterfeiters in the prison. After a failed attempt to issue bank-notes, the cantonal junta expropriated the silver factory of Ignacio Figueroa, marquis of Villamejor. Located on the outskirts of the city, this foundry had large stocks of the precious metal. The canton began by producing small silver ingots in its own name, before issuing its own currency, the cantonal. To design the new currency, the junta called upon a certain José Juste Corveras as well as the convicts Pedro Sala, former 'mechanical chief of the Barcelona mint', and Cipriano Fernández Rufete, also employed in the national mint before his arrest in 1867 for producing forged money. 36 Despite its 20 October decree's attempt to boast of the high value of the cantonal relative to the peseta, the junta was unable to halt its currency's gradual devaluation in the weeks that followed, as the besieged insurgents were only able to sell their ingots and then their silver coins at low prices.

Even the closest friends of Joseph McCarthy knew him as "an amiable pal without a deep sense of responsibility." The son of one of McCarthy's frequent companions related that his father arrived for lunch at the senator's office expecting a sandwich. McCarthy suggested that they go to a restaurant. He then called his friend to a back room in which constituents' mail was piled on a table. McCarthy opened a few letters until he found a $50 cash contribution. "Now we can go out for lunch," McCarthy said, pocketing the money.?

Elections officials and experts told us that California also needed to devote more money to vote-counting if it wanted faster results. "If you want something different, give us the resources and give us the authority to do it," Juan Pablo Cervantes, the Humboldt County clerk-recorder and registrar of voters, told us. Kim Alexander, the president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation, said that Californians can have both speed and accuracy "if our lawmakers are willing to invest the money" to make it happen.

Hitler’s proposed Triumphal Arch
Trump said Hitler 'did some good things' and wanted generals like the Nazis, former chief of staff Kelly claims
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist. "Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump. Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?" "I don't remember," I said. "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.") Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
6:55 SEPTEMBER 25 41 Days to the Election With Mark Cuban in the audience, I addressed the Economic Club of Pittsburgh. Mark had been a big supporter throughout the campaign, doing numerous events in which he picked apart the dangerous flaws in Trump's tariff policy and warned of its consequences to both businesses and consumers. He had credibility and was able to reach a variety of important constituencies: big business, small business, sports fans, and people who just liked his no-nonsense personality on Shark Tank. (At the end of long days, I loved to watch reruns of Shark Tank, and my habit was to then google and see how, years later, the various businesses that had won investment were doing.) I needed voters to know the specifics of how I intended to put more money in their pockets today and to improve their prospects in the future. I started by acknowledging that the cost of living was still way too high: "You know it and I know it." My proposal was for a new tax credit for investment and job creation in key industries like steel, biotech, AI, semiconductors, aerospace, autos, and farming. I talked about the importance of retooling existing factories, the credits that would encourage local hiring, and protecting the right to organize. 51%
