On January 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to textile workers in Manchester, England, a city with deep ties to the slave trade, thanking them for their sacrifice and solidarity in supporting an embargo on cotton harvested by enslaved workers.

From Nietzsche’s Unpublished Writings from the period of Unfashionable Observations:

Every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear what it has to say: when we are alone and quiet we are afraid that something will be whispered into our ear and hence we despise quiet and drug ourselves with sociability. The human being evades suffering as best he can, but even more so he evades the meaning of endured suffering; he seeks to forget what lies behind it by constantly setting new goals.

Every moment of life wants to tell us something, but we do not want to hear what it has to say

The capitalist will say (and do) anything that justifies the endless accumulation of profit. To this end, the emphasis of individualism is vital – as it is through this loss of collective identity that humanity learns to routinely brutalise its own existence and being. Inflicting pain and harvesting gain is the only permitted exchange which locks out all other modes of possible interaction. Love becomes a limited commodity which can be bought for a short time period before the clock runs out and its flow dries up.

Vladimir Lenin: The Military Programme of the Proletariat Revolution

October 9, 2025October 9, 2025 Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Among the Dutch, Scandinavian and Swiss revolutionary Social-Democrats who are combating the social-chauvinist lies about “defence of the fatherland” in the present imperialist war, there have been voices in favour of replacing the old Social-Democratic minimum-programme demand for a “militia”, or “the armed nation,” by a new demand: “disarmament.” The Jugend-Internationale has inaugurated a discussion on this issue and published, in No. 3, an editorial supporting disarmament. There is also, we regret to note, a concession to the “disarmament” idea in R. Grimm’s latest theses. Discussion have been started in the periodicals Neue Leben and Vorbote.

Let us take a closer look at the position of the disarmament advocates.
