... there is a terrific BLOG. Welcome to

This blog lives by images of a single woman. But, what PICTURES ... Emerson is the hammer. Emerson would have I would like as a friend, in Emerson's house, I like to live. Emerson's man looks pretty good. Emerson makes fashion.
Fashion that you can order from the U.S. after GoodOldGermany. I placed my order already and am now waiting for the letter from the good customs.
And then I wear at least dress like Emerson! I'll start small in ....;-)

And? What your orders?

157 years William Charles Owen

Three birthdays are to be reported today, the French novelist and anarchist Octave Mirbeau , Bakunin's supporters James Guillaume and the American Individual anarchist and participants in the Mexican Revolution William Charles Owen . Consequently, I have published a text of the most obscure of the three authors, a review of Owen from Emma Goldman's Mother Earth magazine .

Stray thoughts

by Wm. C. Owen

A time-honored Latin proverb has it that when war breaks out the voice of law grows silent. I am certain that in politics the voice of truth is drowned by clamorous bids for votes, and it does not seem to matter what politics they are. Here is the Socialist party, for example. If Socialism means anything it is that collectivist ownership for use shall take the place of private ownership for profit. There can be no doubt of this, and modern Socialist literature is to a great extent one song of triumph over the extent to which private enterprise is being driven to the wall. Yet here, in California, the party's candidate for governor, touring the State in a much advertised red car, kept assuring the farmer that Socialism, while freeing them from the transportation and money sharks, will leave them in possession of their private farms, to be worked, as now, for private benefit. A desperate effort of my own to set this matter straight almost produced a riot, and never can I find anything but violent contradiction when I tell Socialists they belong to a governmental party. Nevertheless, in a recent number of the Appeal to Reason I find this editorial answer to a question as to what is to be done if the capitalists should decide on a general lock-out: "If they were to close the shops it would be as good a thing as we could ask. Then, under the plea of emergency, we could take possession of the shops and set all the wheels to moving at once under GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT." To fish for votes by repudiating your party's cardinal principle seems to me at once the most despicable and suicidal of policies.

My own experience with the rank and file of the Socialist party is that intellectually it has not the remotest conception of where it is actually at, but that all its aspirations are toward Anarchism. Invariably private conversation with members brings out the declaration that all they want is equality of opportunity, and that the less government they have the better. But let us not deceive ourselves. That may be the aspiration of the proletarian, sick to death of the authoritarianism he learns from the policeman's club, but it is not the aspiration of the preachers and lawyers who have crowded into the party and are doing- nearly all its talking, because talking is their trade. Almost invariably the preacher's ruling passion is to lay down the law for others to obey; almost invariably the lawyer longs to regulate the lives of others; and such leaders naturally seek to form a centralized society, of which they shall be directors.

In Los Angeles the Single Taxers are trying to resurrect themselves, and surely, there was never time or place wherein they should be more alive. To boom the natural resources of the country, thereby attracting immigration; to shear such immigration to the skin by continuously raising the admission price to those monopolized resources — this has been the game played unceasingly by the moneyed class since the city passed out of the village stage. Never was it played so relentlessly, however, as at present, for we have entered on an era of frenzied municipal enterprise, anticipating the rush of labor that will come with the completion of the Panama canal. Millions are being spent, south of the city, on harbor improvements, and land speculators gloat daily over the real estate ticker as it records the advanced value of their holdings. North of the city gigantic sums are being invested by the municipality in the development of water, and a group of land cormorants is becoming multi-millionaires.

Los Angeles is of interest to the great world of social agitation only as she points a moral and exemplifies a principle. It is because she illustrates with unusual clearness how rotten is the sham of public ownership and operation, while land monopoly remains intact, that I give her, and her Single Tax club, publicity. This craze for municipal improvements is the undercurrent of the Socialistic tide, and it is crushing us with bureaucracy and land speculation; digging the gulf between Dives and Lazarus wider and deeper than it was ever dug before. If they could wrench themselves free from what seem to me side issues, the Henry George men Might Do noble work. As it is, their "cat" has been smothered out of sight and hearing.

... although, by the tendency, attention is given twice against equality:

Norbert W. Bolz , 1976:

[quote Dickens:] 'So bright and cheerful all seemed , it was still something Moody in the long, deserted streets, from which, as of soulless bodies, the usual rhythm and expression escaped, was only a total uniformity behind, they all made equal to each other '.

Such uniformity is the product of inanimate mechanism of capitalism, the fate of preformed each day to the inevitability. Equality, the once revolutionary demand of the middle class becomes a before death and the minimum needs - and only this is the capitalist state provides: "the subsistence of life, and the battlefield of death '[Max Weber, collected political writings , 3 Edition, Tübingen, 1971, p.268]. In this spirit, Max Weber, 'the absolutely inescapable Banned nature of our whole existence of the fateful (...) Power of our modern life: charged to the capitalism '[ Collected Essays on the Sociology of Religion , I, fifth edition, Tübingen, 1963, S.3f.]. Fateful is the course of capitalist rationality, the blind logic of capital expansion and the inexorable primacy of profitability. "

Norbert Bolz , 2009 [the central Dabbeljuh was the author in the 1980s at some point]:

"The typical anti-bourgeois resentment of intellectuals produced by the imbalance of status and income.

The birth of the leftist intellectuals from the hatred of successful people - we were able to in the 60s of the 20th Century witnessed again. His emotional world is marked by the denunciation of power, success, excellence and the demonization of the competition and the profit motive. Every economic crisis is here would be appreciated in order to declare the demise of capitalism and in the name of humanity to demand justice as equality. But behind the preaching of equality lies the desire for revenge (...)."

I think, the author talks (also) about yourself ..

An ironic analogy, are found incidentally in the view of the Stalinist jungbolzschen Lukács, who had delivered an "auto da fe's own early work:" the 'destruction of the Ver ADVICE [n]' gets Lukács unintentionally to autobiography (...). " ( history of philosophy of aesthetics ..., p.248).
