  Two Tactics of Social Democracy in the Democratic Revolution is one of the most important of Lenin's early writings. It was written in June and July 1905, while the Russian Revolution of 1905 was taking place. Lenin's preface poses these questions: "in educating and organizing the working class;...where should we place the main political emphasis in this work of education and organization? On the trade unions and legally existing associations, or on an insurrection, on the work of creating a revolutionary army and a revolutionary government?" 
   
  The history of social democracy stretches back to the 19th-century socialist movement. It came to advocate an evolutionary and peaceful transition from capitalism to socialism, using established political processes, in contrast to the revolutionary socialist approach to transition associated with orthodox Marxism. In the early post-war era in Western Europe, social democratic parties rejected the Stalinist political and economic model then-current in the Soviet Union, committing themselves either to an alternative path to socialism or to a compromise between capitalism and socialism. In this period, social democrats embraced a mixed economy based on the predominance of private property, with only a minority of essential utilities and public services under public ownership. Social democrats promoted Keynesian economics, state interventionism, and the welfare state while placing less emphasis on the goal of replacing the capitalist system (factor markets, private property, and wage labor) with a qualitatively different socialist economic system.

  The Shocking Truth about Child...

  Child labor remains one of the most pressing issues worldwide, with millions of children still engaged in work that deprives them of their childhood, education, and basic rights. Despite global efforts to end the practice, child labor persists across many parts of the world, particularly in regions where poverty, lack of education, and weak legal enforcement create an environment where children are forced to work instead of attending school. 
  The term "child labor" refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work that deprives them of their childhood, potential, and dignity, and that harms their physical and mental development. It is often associated with work that is dangerous, physically demanding, or otherwise unsuitable for children. These children, sometimes as young as five or six, are employed in a wide range of industries, including agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and domestic labor. 
  Historically, child labor was a common practice during the Industrial Revolution, where children were seen as a cheap source of labor. However, as industrialized nations implemented laws and regulations to protect children, the issue seemed to fade in many parts of the developed world. Unfortunately, this progress has not been mirrored in many developing nations, where children continue to be exploited for economic gain. Global estimates suggest that over 150 million children worldwide are engaged in child labor, with a significant portion working in hazardous conditions.

  The Globalization Myth - Why...

  A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
   
   
   
  The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.

  Literature after Feminism

  Rita Felski

  Recent commentators have portrayed feminist critics as grim-faced ideologues who are destroying the study of literature. Feminists, they claim, reduce art to politics and are hostile to any form of aesthetic pleasure. Literature after Feminism is the first work to comprehensively rebut such caricatures, while also offering a clear-eyed assessment of the relative merits of various feminist approaches to literature.Spelling out her main arguments clearly and succinctly, Rita Felski explains how feminism has changed the ways people read and think about literature. She organizes her book around four key questions: Do women and men read differently? How have feminist critics imagined the female author? What does plot have to do with gender? And what do feminists have to say about the relationship between literary and political value? Interweaving incisive commentary with literary examples, Felski advocates a double critical vision that can do justice to the social and political meanings of literature without dismissing or scanting the aesthetic.

  Across the world thousands of men and women have seen UFOs with their own eyes. They have even seen alien beings. They have even come into contact with them. The fact is there have been hundreds of UFO's crashed onto our planet. And we have witnessed them. 
   
  Across the world people are paralysed, abducted, abused and terrorised. Landscapes are burned and scarred. Towns are closed down, radio stations threatened and lies are spread. 
   
  But the truth can be seen when we expose all the evidence. When we bring the hundreds of UFO crashes together in one story. There is a pattern. But, what are the aliens doing? Why are they crashing? Are we at war? 
   
  Our secretive military and inner-governments know what is happening and they are hiding it from us. They close down every site, cordon off, recover technology and corpses and then cover-up. They have been doing so for decades and we are being fooled. Why? Because we are at war. 
   
  This is the story of Alien Contact. This is the story of the Alien Invasion.
