  • What, indeed, is agnosticism [writes Engels], but… “shamefaced” materialism? The agnostic’s conception of nature is materialistic throughout. The entire natural world is governed by law, and absolutely excludes the intervention of action from without. But he adds, we have no means either of ascertaining or of disproving the existence of some Supreme Being beyond the known universe (Engels, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, p. 18).

    (This was an excerpt fom Georges Pollitzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy )

    My face is not ashamed, but i do not shame others for what they believe.





  • My point of view does not encompass the whole of my country for obvious reasons but from my subjective POV Chile feels like in the eye of a storm right now.

    We have felt the empire’s boot once with pinochet; now people will clamor with candour when the imperial boot will suffocate us again but this time with a suit, tie and a fake smile in the face of Kast.

    And yet, and yet i have more hope now, more than ever. The rage goes on.

    “Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again where free men will walk to build a better society.”

    -Salvador Allende on his last address to the nation before dying in 1973
