MAGA antisemitism is getting louder, tbh
on deck: purges and pogroms of "bad American Jews"
i.e., Jews insufficiently loyal to the state of Israel or otherwise unwilling to MAGAfy their expression
(Patel doesn't want ADL collecting any information about Trump's brownshirts and blackshirts)
(radioactive thread)
The ADL is trash just like all NGO's and their affiliates. Trash that toes the line of Marxism masked in morality and virtue. them all!
Who's that? Antifa and Free free palestine factions?
antifa
You don't know what any of this means, moron.
pretty sure ADL has little to do with antifa or Marxism, they've been snorkeling Trump's butt since last year
You don't know what any of this means, moron.
Right? It's just more evidence that appeasement is useless.
ADL assumes a defensive crouch
https://www.jta.org/2025/10/29/unite...t-wing-attacksThe Anti-Defamation League has removed entirely from the “What We Do” page of its website a section called “Protect Civil Rights.”
The removal eliminated a passage that read, “Our founders established ADL with the clear understanding that the fight against any one form of prejudice or hate cannot succeed without countering hate of all forms.”
The change to the website, which has not been previously reported, was made amid other website edits following a flurry of right-wing criticism and an unprecedented attack on the organization earlier this month by FBI Director Kash Patel.
On Oct. 1, just hours before Jews on the East Coast would start fasting on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, President Donald Trump’s handpicked top cop said the law enforcement agency was cutting ties with the ADL. The Jewish group was “functioning like a terrorist organization” because of how it tracks and reports extremism on the right, Patel told Fox News.
The ADL is crap. They bring out Borat to berate us serbs into inclusivity, tolerance, and limit our speech. that fraud organization!
Btw, it's laughable people like Brooke thinks she's the smartest in the crowd while proclaiming everyone else is dumb and can't define this or that. I've read plenty on Communism/Marxism starting with the Communist Manifesto and then onto Biology & Marxism. Yall are just re s who warrant no in-depth conversation.
never read it
what does it say?
God it's turgid
I never would have pegged you as a guy who read any Marxist-Leninist theory, kw
I mean, I read Capital Vol. I in college like every honest liberal should, but I never read any Leninists
(Disclosure: I did read Lenin's What is to be Done?)
What did you take from this book, kw?
I'm not sure if I have time to read it

After obtaining a double baccalaureate in mathematics and philosophy in 1909, he entered the École normale supérieure in 1911 and obtained a degree in natural sciences (1913)[4].
On his return from the war, during which, as an officer in the infantry, he was wounded in 1915[4], he resumed his studies and obtained the agrégation in natural sciences in 1919 and a doctorate in 1922 with a thesis en led: Recherches sur le parenchyme des platyhelminthes, essai d'histologie comparée[1].
From 1919 to 1924, he was a preparator at the École normale supérieure. Until 1928, he was head of work at the Roscoff Biological Station. He then became a lecturer at the Faculty of Sciences in Paris, then professor without chair (1931) and full professor (1937).
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_PrenantA militant in the SFIO in 1913, Marcel Prendre opted for communism at the congresses in Tours in 1920[4]. He actively participated in the Amsterdam-Pleyel movement for peace and was one of the leaders of the Vigilance Committee of Anti-Fascist Intellectuals[1].
During the Second World War, he was an officer near Sedan before being taken prisoner by the Germans. Pris was released in 1941 because he was a veteran. He was a member of the Resistance and produced, for the FTP, instructions for use on the weapons used by the Resistance[1].
In 1942, he was chief of staff and in charge of relations with the Gaullist movements. Marcel Pris was arrested by the Gestapo in January 1944 and deported in June to the Neuengamme concentration camp where he fell seriously ill and from which he was repatriated in June 1945[2]. Present at the first congress of the French Communist Party since the Liberation, he declared from the rostrum: "Salute to Maurice Thorez, the first FTP in France!" and the audience applauded as Thorez deserted on October 4, 1939 and spent the war in the USSR[5],[6]. After his convalescence, he was elected deputy for the Marne in the Cons uent Assembly of 1945 and appointed a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. In March 1946, he testified in Hamburg at the Neuengamme trial of the atrocities committed in the Neuengamme camp.
On 2 December 1945, he was elected president of the National Education and Fine Arts, Youth, Sports and Leisure Committee at the National Cons uent Assembly[7].
In 1948, during the Lysenko affair, he was pressured by the Party, as a member of the Central Committee and a renowned biologist, to lead the "Lysenkoist crusade against neo-Darwinism" in France. Caught between his political commitments and his scientific skills, he tried to reconcile his loyalty to the Party with his scientific honesty. He first published articles that tried not to oppose Darwinism and Lysenkoism[8]. He had also defended the idea that neo-Darwinism was perfectly compatible with the ideology of dialectical materialism[9
]
During a trip to Moscow in October 1949, he insisted on meeting Lysenko, whom he then definitively identified as a charlatan[8]. From then on, he chose not to speak publicly about the affair, so as not to embarrass his party[8]. This silence is considered insufficient by the party leadership. At the12th Congress of the PCF in 1950, he was removed from the Central Committee, as was Jean Chaintron. He maintained this at ude of public silence until Lysenko was criticized in the USSR itself[8].
He rejoined the latter when, after the referendum of September 1958, he resigned from the party and joined the oppositional communist group "United for Socialism". In 1962, he became the director of the monthly organ Le Débat communiste, where communists excluded from the PCF expressed themselves, renamed Unir-Débat from 1967[2]. He left this position after May 1968[10].
He remained faithful to communist ideas, as he expressed in his autobiography in 1980, and was a supporter of the PCF[4].
are you a neo-Darwinian, kw?
anyway, briefly back on topic
it seems likely that the MAGA definition of antisemitism (criticism of Israel) will be continue to be used pretextually to persecute American Jews
simply put, the official anti-antisemitism is essentially antisemitism
as evidenced by Kash Patel's insane vituperation against the ADL, a major, pro-Israel national org that was already on his side
...and maybe still is
For me to articulate a summation is hard, for me particularly. I'm not good with my words as seen over the past 15 yrs here on ST, LOL.
I'd say, reading Biology and Marxism, is pretty easy to do and in a timely matter seeing how it's some 200-250 pages. As well, with anything remotely Marxist in print, it's an easy read for me as I practice the bs skill of chunking words and the way the book is written it does the chunking for me. It's why I use a bunch of unnecessary commas and I suppose commies do too, LOL.
Anyhow, the first half or so chapters peaked my interest more with relation to Marx and Engels. The last half was more biological examples, nature vs external conditions, dialectical theory/practice pertaining to teleology, materialism, vitalism, and more.
I will say, this book, though easy to read, lost me at times because Biology and Marxism aren't really my subject of interest. I read technical books most often but will venture into other subjects to better understand the rationalization of thought coming from said subjects. History is a subject I do admire and Marx, for better or worse, is and will always be a part of history and one to study regardless of ideology or opinion.
I never read much on Darwin outside of k-12 or in my case k-11, LOL.
What would a Neo-Darwinian present him or herself as? Inform me.
----
"the scientific theory that combines Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection with genetics to explain evolution"
I'm the wrong person to ask because I've never even seen myself as any such category, Darwinian or otherwise. I simply "studied" Darwin as a youth and didn't think twice of his theory and never truly questioned it scientifically. I don't think very deep when it comes to a subject like Biology, Evolution, et al.
As well, I read Biology and Marxism for the of it and not because Biology or Marxism is of interest to me, though Marxism is something I read up on; again, to get a better understanding of the rationalization of those who subscribe to such ideologies. I do the same with movies, I pick a year and watch whatever pops up.

A little thin on information about Biology and Marxism, but thanks for your long reply, kw!
Btw, did you use a pony?
I ask because of your somewhat anomalous use of structured paragraphs and compound sentences. I don't think I've ever seen you use a semicolon before.
I use semicolons all the time, tbh.
I'm not familiar with neo-Darwinianism at all, I just noticed that Marcel Prenant seemed to sharpen his own blade alternately for and against it
I was just wondering where you were coming from on all that
I don't pretend to know anything about neo-Darwinianism; I only read The Origin of Species halfway and did not commit it to memory
