It’s part of our renovation and expansion of our “Fundamentals of Marxism” series. In the suffering of the Global South, the brutality of capitalism lies bare. In a footnote toward the end of Capital, Marx wrote that the colonized subject reveals “what the bourgeois makes of itsel...

Prof David Miller and the Zionist campaign to crush dissent on campuses

The list of truths that we are being told we must not utter in public spaces continues to grow, but truth has a way of winning out. Proletarian writers Professor David Miller has been hounded out of his position at Bristol university by a concerted campaign aimed at silencing criticism of zionist ideology and the state of Israel. In yet another case of the antisemitism witch-hunt we have now seen the zionist attacks on Professor David Miller come to fruition. A professor of political sociology at Bristol University, Miller was fired for sharing his opposition to the supremacist ideology of zionism and the racist state of Israel at an online meeting outside the university, a video of which surfaced and was used against him. After an official ‘inves...

Now He Tells Us: David Brooks Suggests That the Republican Party Has Embraced Fascism

BY CHUCK CHURCHILL Photograph Source: PBS Newshour – CC BY 2.0 A recent Atlantic article by David Brooks, “The Terrifying Future of the American Right: What I Saw at the National Conservative Conference” lays out the latest thinking on the Right that contains some revealing language echoing the rhetorical techniques embraced by Hitler and the Nazis. The article cites examples of the “line” now being taken by the Republican Party that suggests, even to an old time conservative like Brooks, that the Republicans are now running full tilt towards fascism. Counterpunch readers who have paid attention to Paul Street’s great articles exposing this turn might see more evidence to reinforce his view that with today’s Republicans we are facing a fascist party and movement. ...

The psychological reasons why some people can’t stop lying

Lindsay Dodgson There are several theories for why some people can't stop lying.Narcissists are often pathological liars, because they simply don't care about the truth.They prefer to tell lies and gain control over people than be honest.Sometimes, compulsive liars are highly impulsive people who struggle to take the time to think things through and tell the truth.Lying doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, but it could be a sign of something more sinister. Chapter 2 - The Psychology of Lying Abstract Lying is a form of communication that involves two parties: the deceiver and the deceived. The deceiver intends to communicate false impressions or information. The deceived, however, must participate in the lie—at least on some level. This is either by virtue of learne...

No matter how common it is to lie, it is still considered impolite and bad behavior.Being lied to can be frustrating and it often breaks the bond of trust between two people, causing problems in the relationship.Knowing the reasons why people lie, however, can shed some light on the problem and help us understand the people who lie.Let’s take a look at some of the common reasons why people lie.

Why Do People Lie?

Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr 9 Motives for Telling Lies Reading between the lies Why do people lie? Such a simple question should come with a simple answer (but doesn’t, unfortunately). There are indications, however, that most of us share the same the motives for telling lies. Learning to spot micro expressions is an important key to detecting deception as micro expressions often reveal hidden emotions.Start Micro Expressions Training Numbers don’t lie My data collected during interviews with children and from questionnaires completed by adults suggests that telling lies occurs (at least in part) for one of nine reasons: 1. To avoid being punished. This is the most frequently mentioned motivation for telli...
