What he says is not exactly true. What is true is that we do not possess the original monographs. But we do possess more subsequent copies, from different sources, than of any other historical document of the period. And unlike human speech, written speech does not "morph" on the page. What a document says in the first century is what it will say in the 21st, so long as it remains.Impenitent wrote: ↑Fri Sep 22, 2017 11:10 pm try again (why don't you quote Nietzsche - there is no original text)

What has gone wrong?
Socialist politicians need to call out the lies (historic and current ) and be effective in interviews.
I was half listening to a ch4 news debate when twice a young female calmly challenged opposition by simply saying 'That is not correct', followed by succinct reasons. So very heartening.
C4 News is great - but you won't see much on the other channels, and C4 also plays the establishment card on most occasions.
His reporting and personal concern re the Grenfell tower fire and its victims - exceptional.
Just look at his wiki page - look at his privileged background and marvel at his socks and ties.
Not quite. We know there is at least one Mr. Snow.

He does speak of his namesake at the beginning. It's funny. You'll like it.
That is undeniably true, nothing is "free" (or produced out of thin air). Every good and service comes from the work of someone. Socialism is supposed to be about just, equitable and/or fair distribution of what is produced and also about rational decision making. From what I can tell, those are the basic premises of thinkers who we often call or have been called "socialist".henry quirk wrote: ↑Thu Sep 21, 2017 2:37 pm Somebody pays for all of that...not one bit of any of it is 'free'.

"Socialism" seems to have all the right motives and intentions, but many people (mostly white Americans) seem to be hostile to the idea for what are probably obvious reasons. I mean, justice probably scares me as much as anyone else who lives in a society that basically flourishes off the perpetuation of injustice. But it seems like establishing justice is something that ought to be done (by the very definition of "justice").
The same principle applies to capitalism.Gary Childress wrote:Socialism is supposed to be about just, equitable and/or fair distribution of what is produced and also about rational decision making.
