Interesting Open Access journal. Too bad all those Marxist print 
journals can't evolve in this direction.

[Marxism] raised by wolves - how wolves and humans coevolved

Belyaev’s experimental method was simple in the extreme. Out of the
thousands of silver foxes held at a fur farm, he simply selected for ones
that were calmer than normal in the presence of humans. After just a few
generations of selective breeding, some offspring of these slightly tamer
foxes started to seek out human company. Breeding these individuals
produced foxes that showed changes in their reproductive systems that are
typical of domesticated animals, which often bear more than one litter per
year. Astonishingly, a few of the selected foxes even began to wag their
tails and bark—characteristics otherwise seen only in dogs. Eventually
foxes were produced that had varied color patterns in their fur, curly
tails, and floppy ears, all of which are characteristic of domesticated
animals, but not wild ones. A few even began vocalizing with a sound that
was reminiscent of human laughter. None of these traits had been selected
for—Belyaev’s team selected only for a fox’s degree of comfort around
humans.

Extensive checks, including experiments in which embryos from normal foxes
were transplanted into the uteruses of selected females, were undertaken,
in order to demonstrate that genes rather than learned cues were
responsible for the changes. Despite the undoubted genetic basis of the
change, the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood, though clearly
hormonal regulation—particularly of stress hormones—is important. By
demonstrating that a simple selection mechanism could, over an exceedingly
brief time, have such a large effect, Belyaev’s experiment had a major
impact on our understanding of how the dog–human relationship began.

Notably the NRA was trying to argue that it was some sort of extremist
event by trying to associate it with the Women's March, specifically Linda
Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, both of whom have been recently smeared as part
of a racist witch-hunt described in-depth here:

Always happy to see mass actions, of course . . . more so by young people
who may develop the habit.

However, it's never been clear to me how this was going to be any different
than the mass women's marches that greeted Trump's inauguration.  That was
tremendously inspiring at the time, even though we knew that it would
almost certainly be broken to bits and digested by the Democrats at their
next banquet.

Cheers,
Mark L.

Also worth reading this for a detailed breakdown of what groups did (and
what groups did not) actually back this march. Most of them are
organizations that have always had very close ties to the Democratic
Party.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/mar/23/national-rifle-association/nra-says-violent-radicals-are-behind-march-our-liv/

"

The march has been a magnet for the many advocacy organizations that have
pressed for gun control over many years. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun
Violence , the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
 and Sandy Hook Promise
 all promote the march.

Two organizations, Everytown for Gun Safety 
and Giffords
Courage to Fight , are playing a prominent role in
organizing sibling marches around the country and providing logistical
muscle for the main march in Washington. Everytown — along with its
grassroots organizing arm Moms Demand Action 
 — has funded local marches, and maintains an interactive map

 showing where they are taking place.

Everytown for Gun Safety receives significant support from former New York
City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Giffords Courage to Fight emerged after the
shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School and is the project of gun victim
and former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., and her husband Mark Kelly.

The liberal activist group MoveOn and Planned Parenthood also actively
support the march. Planned Parenthood lists 14 local marches
 on its website.

The Episcopal Diocese of Washington
 is
coordinating housing and meals for out-of-town visitors.

March For Our Lives has had no trouble securing hefty donations from
Hollywood stars, companies and philanthropists.

George and Amal Clooney pledged $500,000
,
a sum that was quickly matched by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Kate
Capshaw, and others.

The Italian fashion company Gucci gave $500,000
,
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff
pledged
$1 million, as did billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad.

The march also raised more than $3 million
 online through a
GoFundMe campaign."

" The emphasis on voting for Democrats disturbed me. This movement could
easily be co-opted by the neoliberal core of the Democratic Party power
establishment–and people who can’t imagine anything nicer than Joe Biden in
the White House "

I find that statement rather odd. I perceived the event as a
Democratic-party-aligned movement from the start, so I don't think it
counts as "co-optation". Just consider how much more difficult it was to
mobilize such large crowds, celebrity endorsements, or positive media
coverage for similarly-sized antiwar marches or even the Black Lives Matter
movement (which often involved similar issues, such as the use of a gun by
a paranoid right-wing rent-a-cop who stalked and killed Trayvon Martin).
From the beginning it was effectively unlatched from issues of race,
internationalism, or class. All of those things suggest that it is designed
to be a single-issue initiative for a highly partisan (as in party-related)
issue.

So even if there are people who support gun control that are not linked to
the Democratic Party apparatus, it doesn't seem like they were the ones
leading this event. My $0.02.

Police officials showed markedly less interest in lessons on
law-enforcement practice than in technical instruction on the massive
quantities of small arms, vehicles, radios, handcuffs, fingerprint kits and
other U.S.-funded police equipment that the MSU group procured and
dispensed. This raised an obvious question: In *Ramparts’ *words, “What the
hell is a university doing buying guns, anyway?”

For a university to provide such systematic cover may have been unusual,
but academe was one of many institutions, including the Fourth Estate, that
the CIA penetrated during the Cold War. It recruited or placed dozens,
probably hundreds of operatives as foreign correspondents and stringers. In
1977, the* New York Times *identified

more
than 30 who had worked at 22 major media outlets, including CBS, *Time *and,
naturally, the* New York Times*.

Since then, Michigan State has undergone a collective process of
self-examination over its role in Vietnam. In 1998, its university press
released Ernst’s *Forging a Fateful Alliance*, the most complete history
published of the MSU Group. Formerly assailed for packing its Vietnam
records away uncatalogued, the university has since digitized more than
80,000 documents and posted them online
. Any academic or intellectual
tempted to enlist in future U.S. efforts to remake other nations would do
well to consult both.

Wall Street Journal, March 26, 2918
The regime tore apart the author's hometown in 2012. Now he reports on 
Syrians experiencing the same fate


by Nour Alakraa

I spend my days trying to reach Syrians hiding from the war that is 
still raining down on them -- even as I try to forget my own experience 
of that war six years ago.


In recent weeks, I have been able to connect by phone and text with 
people in the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta. They are taking cover 
in basements and tunnels, scavenging for food to feed their hungry 
children. They utter brave sentiments even as I hear the fear quivering 
in their voices.


I am ashamed at some of the questions I must ask: How are you feeling? 
What is it like underground? What happens when the rockets hit nearby? 
Sometimes they reply sharply: Are you serious with these questions?


It is only then that I tell them I'm from the city of Homs, from the 
neighborhood of Baba Amr -- the first place that the regime of Bashar 
al-Assad surrounded and bombed into submission, back in 2012. The 
government wanted to force rebels to withdraw but also to make an 
example of the city.


This revelation establishes an immediate bond between me, a Syrian 
journalist exiled in Germany, and them, Syrians being bombed by their 
own government. Eastern Ghouta is one of the last rebel-held pockets 
that the regime wants to capture as it consolidates control.


Before Eastern Ghouta there was Wadi Barada. And before that, Aleppo. 
And before that too many towns and neighborhoods to list. All of them 
subjected to the same playbook of siege and bombardment: Starve or 
surrender.


Baba Amr, a low-income area on the edge of Homs, was the setting for 
many of my happiest childhood memories, as the spoiled youngest child of 
five. I would go every morning to buy fresh baked pita bread and a piece 
of cake or pastry at the neighborhood bakery. The owner, Abu Hasan, 
never called me by my name. He referred to me as ibn al aanseh -- son of 
the teacher -- a show of respect to my mother, who was the principal of 
the elementary school.


At the age of 16, I took my first date to a small clearing in Baba Amr 
that could barely be called a park. I didn't have any money to buy her a 
soda or bag of chips. We just sat on a bench and talked for hours.


My parents made education our priority and encouraged us to focus on 
learning English. My dad would always say, "English will help you in 
your future." In 2010 I began my first year at the university in Homs, 
studying civil engineering.


In 2011, as the effort of Syrians to participate in the "Arab Spring" 
turned into a civil war, Baba Amr was one of the first areas taken by 
antigovernment rebels, and it soon became a target of the regime. When I 
saw people I knew being shot, I became an activist and used my knowledge 
of English to reach out to human rights organizations.


What we experienced in Baba Amr pales in comparison to what residents of 
Ghouta are living through, but I can relate. I know the answer to my own 
journalistic question about the sound of an approaching rocket: The 
terrifying whoosh makes you wonder if this will be the moment that your 
soul leaves your body.


After some 20 days of incessant siege and shelling, I fled Baba Amr with 
others who had been in hiding with me. We waited until nightfall and 
sneaked toward the edge of the neighborhood, which had been bombed so 
much that most landmarks were unrecognizable. We finally reached an 
unfinished water pipe, measuring about five feet high by three feet wide.


For two hours we walked, bent over, through the dank pipe. The smell of 
mold was suffocating, and there was no light visible at the end of it to 
guide us. When we finally reached the opening, we had to stay quiet and 
couldn't even light a cigarette because an army checkpoint was nearby.


In the six years since I left Baba Amr, I have tried to leave behind 
these painful memories and to draw attention to the suffering of the 
Syrian people. I was inspired by the brave American journalist Marie 
Colvin, who worked for the U.K.'s Sunday Times.


Marie and I lived in the same large house in Baba Amr -- a group of 
activists had rented it, and when journalists later moved in, I became a 
"fixer" helping some of them to navigate dangerous areas and meet 
sources. When Marie and I both managed to escape, I was just relieved 
and happy to be safe, but she couldn't stop thinking about the people 
still trapped inside, and she went back.


She called CNN, the BBC and other television outlets to tell viewers, 
"The Syrian army is simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians."

The contributors to *Know Your Place* don’t seem confident in that older
definition of entitlement. They have little sense of agency or the ability
to resist change or improve their circumstances big and small. I think this
reflects a generational shift: many of the contributors to the collection
are relatively young, most, I think, in their twenties or thirties. Apart
from making me feel old, this generation gap illustrates just how many
working-class people now feel isolated. Unlike the men I worked with, who
expected their lives to improve, these younger people have only experienced
things being taken away or eroded overtime. They don’t have the positive
experiences of class, what I describe as the ‘hidden rewards of class’.
They have little hope that things could improve or that welfare policies
and tax regimes could begin to benefit the less well-off in society.

Marx and Engels wrote more about Ireland than any other contemporary
political question.  This was because they regarded it as crucial to
transforming the consciousness of British workers to the level where they
might actually be able to make a revolution.

"This is a fascinating book.  Its ten contributors provide eleven chapters
– two are by Gluckstein – on people’s resistance to dictatorship in Europe
and Asia/Pacific during World War 2 and struggles within two capitalist
democracies (Australia and Ireland, the latter not being formally involved
in the second great imperialist conflagration).

"The struggles range from Jewish resistance to the Nazis and the Holocaust
in Eastern Europe, especially Poland, to the Slovak national uprising of
1944 to resistance to French rule in Algeria to Burmese resistance to both
British and Japanese imperialism to the Huk rebellion in the Philippines.
While the countries covered exclude key imperialist players, and sometimes
the choice of places to cover seemed a little strange, hopefully there will
be. . ."

If any comrade subscribes to Catalyst, I'd appreciate a copy of this. 
I just can't see spending $60 for a subscription when 80 percent of 
the articles are of little interest to me.
