The legitimization of eugenics is here.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14673047

While the genes we received might be helping us stay a step ahead of 
viruses to this day, the Neanderthals did not do so well out of their 
encounters with modern human ancestors, disappearing completely some 
30,000 years ago.

Peter Parham suggested a parallel could be drawn between the events of this 
period and the European conquest of the Americas. 


"Initially you have small bands of Europeans exploring, 
having a difficult time and making friends with the natives; but as they 
establish themselves, they become less friendly and more likely to take over 
their resources and eliminate them.

"Modern experiences reflect the past, and vice versa."

  I am wondering if there is any Asians involved in the
left/socialists/marxists/trostkyists circle in the US as well.

  Thank you.

[Marxism] Norway as an imperialist country ?

Norway supplies raw materials (oil and gas) to the world economy ; that's why 
it 
is rich. Norway actually was colonized by Sweden for much of its history. I 
would not characterize it as an imperialist country.
