RKS Literature: “The Communist Manifesto”: FREE TRADE
“The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all the feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors” and has left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous cash payment. ItContinue reading “RKS Literature: “The Communist Manifesto”: FREE TRADE”
“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: LOSING MY MANHOOD: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
LOSING MY MANHOOD: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? West Highland Terriers have a tremendous hearing ability and there is some weird talk going on here at home and on my walks which by the way I LOVE!

RKS Literature: “The Communist Manifesto”: The History of Existing Society
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionaryContinue reading “RKS Literature: “The Communist Manifesto”: The History of Existing Society”

MIDNIGHT TUNNEL RAT CAPER AND THAT FAMOUS ROBERT DUVALL LINE One minus 18 evening in Toronto Bob and I finished watching the CBC national news which Bob turned off in disgust.

RKS Literature: Happiness as Mass Hypnosis? (Anton Chekov)
“But we don’t hear or see those who suffer: the real tragedies of life are enacted somewhere behind the scenes. Everything is calm and peaceful and the only protest comes from statistics-and they can’t talk. Figures show that so many went mad, so many bottles of vodka were emptied, so many children died of malnutrition.Continue reading “RKS Literature: Happiness as Mass Hypnosis? (Anton Chekov)”
RKS Literature: Accepting a Nasty Marriage (Anton Chekov)
“She had married for money because, as her ex-schoolgirl friends put it, he was madly rich, because she was terrified of becoming an old maid, like Rita, because her doctor father got on her nerves and because she wanted to annoy Little Volodya. Had she guessed when she was contemplating marriage that it would turnContinue reading “RKS Literature: Accepting a Nasty Marriage (Anton Chekov)”
