Death by plants

Ed McNally, in the New Left Review, has an article appearing within the webpages (to use a paper reference) in which it is stated that “Neta Crawford’s intellectual project (project, notice not a paper) is perhaps best understood as a progressive immanent critique of American empire , defined by intricate attention to the military as an institution – its political history, energy composition, ideologies, procedures, rules, and modes of killing ” Here one sees the very concerns I have been barking about for almost a year now in these blog posts. The concern is that the American “empire,” is used as a word that is intensively proposed as evil and used in the accounting of American advancement.  Remember? I have stated that “nation” and “empire” are crucial in the way the Left vilifies the US.  To beat it all, it is not just the American machinations, but the work of humans which is criticized by the Left should be done by talking plants, where plants do the job, through whom the...

Sound familiar? It is no wonder that, in a wor...

FAMILY as the building block

  Stone puts its clearly that a Marxist government starts with groups not individuals, she presents the “building blocks of the polis” as being groups “institutions and organizations” “not individuals”     We know and individuals, families, and God’s church are to be the building blocks of society, not man-made constructs. Groups, institutions, and organizations, are divisive. “they depend on organizations to represent their interests” for Stone the key is to overlook God’s sacraments of the family, marriage, country (i.e. nation), the church, the body of Christ, and God’s children.   From the book of Genesis forward the “nation” was an institution, which postcolonialists deny and believe is a Western Anglo European and Global North concepts that has destroyed indigenous societies (through “civilizations”), but they neglect to see family as an important key in indigenous societies and even among animals.
