It was surprising to learn....

It was surprising to learn that ecological destruction by human actions is not something new in our current era of anthropogenic climate change that threatens the very existence of life on earth. Thus, while agriculture saw an enormous advance in ancient Mesopotamia, it came at the cost of the eventual destruction of that very agriculture. Thus, in order to grow crops, deforestation cleared the land for agriculture, but this ultimately led to soil erosion. In addition, the advanced technique of irrigation led to salination   of the land and loss of its fertility. Beeing from Brazil I can relate to this. They burning the Amazon Forest in order to grow crops and to drill for oil and to mine minerals, the Amazon Forest is important to the world as a sink for carbon dioxide. Loss of this sink will make climate change worse.

When the Spanish conquered MesoAmerica and the great i...

Chapter 21

Why did the communist experiment, which was committed to equality, abundance, and a humane socialism, generate failed economies and oppressive, brutal, and totalitarian regimes? The first Communist Revolution occurred unexpectedly, according to Marxist theory, in the backward country called Russia.   Marxists thought that revolution would occur in the most advanced industrialized countries where the combination of class struggle by the industrial working class and the high productivity of advanced Capitalism would lead to a revolution in which the workers would control production and everyone would have plenty to live on. Unfortunately, the revolution took place in a backward peasant country that was very poor, illiterate, and wracked by a disastrous war. This was followed by a ruinous civil war.   The Russian Marxists did not believe their revolution could succeed without revolution in the West, especially Germany. However, revolution in Germany ...
