Ex nihilo nihil fit

Let's talk about nothing

Quien no sabe decir de mí sino que soy ateo, no sabe nada de mí. La cuestión de si dios existe o no, la contraposición de teísmo y ateísmo pertenece a los siglos XVII y XVIII, pero no al XIX. Yo niego a dios. Esto quiere decir en mi caso: yo niego la negación del hombre. En vez de una posición ilusória, fantástica, celestial del hombre, que en la vida se convierte necesariamente en negación del hombre, yo propugno la posición sensible, real y, por tanto, necesariamente política y social del hombre. La cuestión sobre el ser o no ser de dios es en mi caso unicamente la cuéstion sobre el ser o no ser del hombre.

Ludwig Feuerbach
1804 - 1872

Your mobile always rings (or so you hope)

One message flashes on the screen in hot pursuit of another. Your fingers are always busy: you squeeze the keys, calling new numbers to answer the calls or composing messages of your own. You stay connected – even though you are constantly on the move, and though the invisible senders and recipients of calls and messages move as well, all following their own trajectories. Mobiles are for people on the move. You never leave your mobile out of sight. Your jogging gear has a special pocket for your mobile, and you would not go out with that pocket empty just as you would not go running without your training shoes. As a matter of fact, you would go nowhere without your mobile (’nowhere’ is, indeed, the space without a mobile, with a mobile out of range, or a mobile with a flat battery). And once with your mobile, you are never out or away. You are always in – but never locked up in one place. Cocooned in a web of calls and messages, you are invulnerable. Those around you cannot blackball y...

Socialism and religion

Present-day society is wholly based on the exploitation of the vast masses of the working class by a tiny minority of the population, the class of the landowners and that of the capitalists. It is a slave society, since the “free” workers, who all their life work for the capitalists, are “entitled” only to such means of subsistence as are essential for the maintenance of slaves who produce profit, for the safeguarding and perpetuation of capitalist slavery. Religion is one of the forms of spiritual oppression which everywhere weighs down heavily upon the masses of the people, over burdened by their perpetual work for others, by want and isolation. Impotence of the exploited classes in their struggle against the exploiters just as inevitably gives rise to the belief in a better life after death as impotence of the savage in his battle with nature gives rise to belief in gods, devils, miracles, and the like. Those who toil and live in want all their lives are taught by religion to be sub...
