Quotes

  • Lenin: Miraculous prophecy is a fairy-tale. But scientific prophecy is a fact.
  • Noam Chomsky: See, people with power understand exactly one thing: violence.
  • George Bernard Shaw: Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
  • Henry Kissinger: Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.
  • Fidel Castro: This position of the Trotskyists is the same which all newspapers and publicity agencies of Yankee imperialism adopted in relation to the cause of Comrade Ernesto Guevara. All the imperialist press of the United States, its news agencies, the Cuban counter-revolutionaries' press, the bourgeois press throughout the continent and the rest of the world - in other words, this campaign of slanders and intrigues against revolutionary Cuba in connection with the case of Comrade Guevara - coincided with precision with all imperialist bourgeois sectors, all the slanderers and all the conspirators against the Cuban revolution, for there is no doubt that only reaction and imperialism is interested in discrediting the Cuban revolution and in destroying the confidence of the revolutionary movements in the Cuban revolution, in destroying the confidence of the Latin American peoples in the Cuban revolution, in destroying their faith. Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
  • Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.
  • Fidel Castro: Yon Sosa led the movement of a group of armed officers in the crushing of whom the mercenaries who later invaded Playa Girón participated. Through a businessman who took charge of the movement's political aspects, the Fourth International fixed it up so that that leader, who was ignorant of the profound problems of politics and of the history of revolutionary thought, would permit that agents of Trotskyism, about whom we do not have the slightest doubt that he is an agent of imperialism, to publish a newspaper which copies outright the program of the Fourth International. By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.
  • Martin Luther King, Jr.: So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness. It has brought about a system that takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.
  • Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord: It is the beginning of the end.
  • Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord: Financiers flourish only when nations decline.
  • George Friedman: The primordial interest of the United States, over which for centuries we have fought wars– the First, the Second and Cold Wars– has been the relationship between Germany and Russia, because united there, they’re the only force that could threaten us. And to make sure that that doesn’t happen.
  • Lenin: Prompted by fear of revolution, the old state power, which is independent of the people and is a power over the people, promises the people that it will ensure their freedom. But its promises remain unfulfilled; they cannot be fulfilled.
  • James Connolly: If you remove the English army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic, your efforts would be in vain.
  • Lenin: There are moments in history when a desperate struggle of the masses, even for a hopeless cause, is essential for the further schooling of these masses and their training for the next struggle.
  • Kim Il Sung: Our ideal is to build a society where everyone is well fed, well clothed, and lives a long life, a society where everybody is progressive and works devotedly, a society where all people live united in harmony as one big family.
  • Michael Parenti: To make the world safe for those who own it, politically active elements of the owning class have created a national security state that expends billions of dollars and enlists the efforts of vast numbers of people.
  • Edward Snowden: There is nothing more grotesque than a media pushing for war.
  • Lenin: Practice is higher than (theoretical) knowledge, for it has not only the dignity of universality, but also of immediate actuality.
  • Stalin: Only in the highest phase of communism will people, working in accordance with their capacity, receive recompense therefor in accordance with their needs: "From each according to his capacity, to each according to his needs."
  • Stalin: All that Marxism declares is that until classes have been completely abolished, and until work has been transformed from being a means of maintaining existence, into a prime necessity of life, into voluntary labour performed for the benefit of society, people will continue to be paid for their labour in accordance with the amount of labour performed.
  • Stalin: The October Revolution is neither the continuation nor the culmination of the Great French Revolution. The purpose of the French Revolution was to put an end to feudalism and establish capitalism. The aim of the October Revolution is to put an end to capitalism and to establish socialism.
  • Lenin: We shall not achieve socialism without a struggle. But we are ready to fight, we have started it and we shall finish it with the aid of the apparatus called the Soviets.
  • Gilbert Scott-Heron: The first revolution is when you change your mind.
  • Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya: Solidarity among the male and female workers, a general cause, general goals, a general path to that goal - that is the solution to the "woman" question in the working-class environment.
  • Lenin: No idea could be more erroneous or harmful than to separate foreign from home policy.
  • Kim Jong-il: Introducing individualism into socialism, which is based entirely on collectivism, is tantamount to taking poison.
  • Langston Hughes: Put one more S in the U.S.A. To make it Soviet.
  • Lenin: There is a good Latin proverb which says: “It is natural for all men to err; but only a fool persists in his error.
  • Lenin: A Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
  • Kim Il Sung: It can be said that the life of a revolutionary begins by going among the masses and that it is over when he parts from them.
  • Lenin: Deafened by liberal catch-phrases, people in our country are apt to overlook the actual class stand of the liberal party’s real bosses.
  • Lenin: The proletariat’s struggle against the bourgeoisie, which finds expression in a variety of forms ever richer in content, inevitably becomes a political struggle directed towards the conquest of political power by the proletariat (“the dictatorship of the proletariat”).

Stalin: Commodity production must not be regarded as something sufficient unto itself, something independent of the surrounding economic conditions. Commodity production is older than capitalist production. It existed in slave-owning society, and served it, but did not lead to capitalism. It existed in feudal society and served it, yet, although it prepared some of the conditions for capitalist production, it did not lead to capitalism. Why then, one asks, cannot commodity production similarly serve our socialist society for a certain period without leading to capitalism, bearing in mind that in our country commodity production is not so boundless and all-embracing as it is under capitalist conditions, being confined within strict bounds thanks to such decisive economic conditions as social ownership of the means of production, the abolition of the system of wage labour, and the elimination of the system of exploitation? It is said that, since the domination of social ownership of the means of production has been established in our country, and the system of wage labour and exploitation has been abolished, commodity production has lost all meaning and should therefore be done away with. That is also untrue. Today there are two basic forms of socialist production in our country: state, or publicly-owned production, and collective-farm production, which cannot be said to be publicly owned. In the state enterprises, the means of production and the product of production are national property. In the collective farm, although the means of production (land, machines) do belong to the state, the product of production is the property of the different collective farms, since the labour, as well as the seed, is their own, while the land, which has been turned over to the collective farms in perpetual tenure, is used by them virtually as their own property, in spite of the fact that they cannot sell, buy, lease or mortgage it. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Le mariage c'est pas la mer à boire, mais la belle-mère à avaler.


Il ne s'agit pas d'un proverbe, mais de l'extrait d'une blague qui a circulé dans les années 1980.

google.fr/books/edition/200_hi…

Insistez sur le fait étonnant que la plupart des êtres humains ont, auront, ou ont déjà eu des beaux-parents. Pour certains, c'est une révélation, bien qu'il s'agisse d'une situation universelle.
Ne leur dites pas que:
- Le mariage, ce n'est pas la mer à boire mais la belle-mère à avaler.
Mais que:
- Pour vivre heureux avec sa femme, il est essentiel d'apprécier sa belle-mère.

Le devoir est la nécessité d'accomplir une action par respect pour la loi morale.


Citation légèrement déformée ("loi" au lieu de "loi morale") extraite de "Fondements de la Métaphysique des mœurs" d'Emmanuel Kant (1785).

Le portrait utilisé dans le tweet de Cohérence n'est toujours pas celui d'Emmanuel Kant, mais de Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi.

Une loi humaine n'a pas à être systématiquement un objet de respect. On retrouve dans ce texte toute la dureté et la froideur de la morale de Kant. Nous sommes dans le légalisme. L'amour altruiste, gratuit, sera toujours supérieur à une loi humaine, aussi juste soit elle.

Extrait de "Fondements de la Métaphysique des mœurs" d'Emmanuel Kant (1785):

Des deux propositions précédentes je déduis cette troisième comme conséquence: le devoir est la nécessité de faire une action par respect pour la loi. Je puis bien avoir de l'inclination, mais jamais du respect pour l'objet qui doit être l'effet de mon action, précisément parce que cet objet n'est qu'un effet et non l'activité d'une volonté. De même je ne puis avoir du respect pour une inclination, qu'elle soit la mienne ou celle d'un autre; je ne puis que l'agréer dans le premier cas et quelquefois l'aimer dans le second, c'est-à-dire la regarder comme favorable à mon propre intérêt. Il n'y a que ce qui est lié à ma volonté comme principe, et non comme effet, ce qui ne sert pas mon inclination mais en triomphe, ou du moins l'exclut entièrement de la délibération, et, par conséquent, la loi, considérée en elle-même, qui puisse être un objet de respect et en même temps un ordre. Or, si une action faite par devoir exclut nécessairement toute influence des penchants, et par là tout objet de la volonté, il ne reste plus rien pour déterminer la volonté, sinon , objectivement, la loi, et, subjectivement, le pur respect pour cette loi pratique, par conséquent cette maxime qu'il faut obéir à cette loi, même au préjudice de tous les penchants.

La paix n'est pas l'absence de guerre, c'est une vertu, un état d'esprit, une volonté de bienveillance, de confiance, de justice.


Citation méchamment déformée extraite de l'ouvrage "Traité politique" de Baruch Spinoza (1677).

Ce texte est un monument d'hérésies!

La volonté générale n'a jamais été la Volonté de Dieu. Par conséquent, le péché est indépendant de la volonté générale.

Extrait de l'ouvrage "Traité politique" de Baruch Spinoza (1677):

Un État où les sujets ne prennent pas les armes par ce seul motif que la crainte les paralyse, tout ce qu'on en peut dire, c'est qu'il n'a pas la guerre, mais non pas qu'il ait la paix. Car la paix, ce n'est pas l'absence de guerre; c'est la vertu qui naît de la vigueur de l'âme, et la véritable obéissance (par l'article 19 du chapitre II) est une volonté constante d'exécuter tout ce qui doit être fait d'après la loi commune de l'État. Aussi bien une société où la paix n'a d'autre base que l'inertie des sujets, lesquels se laissent conduire comme un troupeau et ne sont exercés qu'à l'esclavage, ce n'est plus une société, c'est une solitude.


Article 19 du chapitre II:
Ainsi donc le péché ne se peut concevoir que dans un ordre social où le bien et le mal sont déterminés par le droit commun, et où nul ne fait à bon droit (par l'article 16 du présent chapitre) que ce qu'il fait conformément à la volonté générale. Le péché, en effet, c'est (comme nous l'avons dit à l'article précédent) ce qui ne peut être fait à bon droit, ou ce qui est défendu par la loi; l'obéissance, au contraire, c'est la volonté constante d'exécuter ce que la loi déclare bon, ou ce qui est conforme à la volonté générale.

Article 16 du chapitre II:
Partout où les hommes ont des droits communs et sont pour ainsi dire conduits par une seule âme, il est certain (par l'article 13 du présent chapitre) que chacun d'eux a d'autant moins de droits que les autres ensemble sont plus puissants que lui, en d'autres termes, il n'a d'autre droit que celui qui lui est accordé par le droit commun. Du reste, tout ce qui lui est commandé par la volonté générale, il est tenu d'y obéir, et (par l'article 4 du présent chapitre) on a le droit de l'y forcer.

Article 13 du chapitre II:
Si deux individus s'unissent ensemble et associent leurs forces, ils augmentent ainsi leur puissance et par conséquent leur droit; et plus il y aura d'individus ayant aussi formé alliance, plus tous ensemble auront de droit.

Article 4 du chapitre II:
Par droit naturel j'entends donc les lois mêmes de la nature ou les règles selon lesquelles se font toutes choses, en d'autres termes, la puissance de la nature elle-même; d'où il résulte que le droit de toute la nature et partant le droit de chaque individu s'étend jusqu'où s'étend sa puissance; et par conséquent tout ce que chaque homme fait d'après les lois de la nature, il le fait du droit suprême de la nature, et autant il a de puissance, autant il a de droit.

NGC 2170


La nébuleuse de l'Ange est une nébuleuse par réflexion située à environ 2700 années-lumière dans la constellation équatoriale de Monoceros (la Licorne). Elle fait partie de Monoceros R2, l'une des régions de formation d'étoiles massives les plus proches du Soleil. La nébuleuse porte le nom de NGC 2170 dans le nouveau catalogue général.

La nébuleuse de l'Ange est la partie la plus brillante et la plus occidentale du nuage moléculaire géant de Monoceros R2. Cette nébuleuse poussiéreuse reflète la lumière des étoiles chaudes voisines et contient en son centre une région H II compacte cataloguée PKS 0605-06.

Des observations dans l'infrarouge ont révélé des signes de formation stellaire en cours dans la nébuleuse. Les jeunes étoiles massives sont dissimulées par les épais nuages de poussière et ne sont pas visibles en lumière visible, mais elles brillent dans la bande infrarouge. Leurs vents puissants et leur rayonnement sont responsables de la formation de la poussière et du gaz de la nébuleuse.

Monoceros R2 est une association R, une association stellaire dont les membres illuminent des nébuleuses par réflexion. NGC 2170 est l'une des nombreuses nébuleuses par réflexion bleutées dans la région de Monoceros R2. Le nuage moléculaire contient également une région d'émission rouge compacte et de nombreuses nébuleuses d'absorption sombres.

La nébuleuse de l'Ange est également cataloguée comme la source infrarouge Mon R2 IRS3. La source infrarouge est un système protostellaire massif qui a été résolu en deux composantes, A et B. Les étoiles nouvellement formées sont intégrées dans leurs enveloppes protostellaires et accrètent la matière de leurs nuages parents.

La source infrarouge est associée à un maser d'eau brillant et à l'un des masers OH les plus brillants du ciel. Les masers d'eau se trouvent généralement dans les nuages moléculaires. Les plus brillants et les plus intenses sont généralement associés à des protoétoiles massives. Les masers OH sont généralement observés dans des régions H II ultracompactes ou sont associés à des étoiles nouvellement formées près des bords d'un matériau très dense.

La distance de NGC 2170 est incertaine, mais la plupart des estimations sont proches de la valeur de 2707 ± 163 années-lumière (830 ± 50 parsecs).

La nébuleuse de l'Ange a été découverte par l'astronome britannique d'origine allemande William Herschel le 16 octobre 1784. Herschel a repéré la nébuleuse avec sa lunette de 18,7 pouces et l'a cataloguée comme IV 19. Son fils John Herschel a catalogué la nébuleuse sous le nom de GC 1362, et l'astronome danois John Louis Emil Dreyer l'a répertoriée sous le nom de NGC 2170 dans le Nouveau Catalogue Général.

La région Monoceros R2 a une masse totale de 3,80 x 104 masses solaires. La région de formation d'étoiles contient également la source infrarouge Mon R2 IRS2, qui est la principale source d'illumination.

Monoceros R2 apparaît comme une chaîne de nébuleuses par réflexion qui s'étend sur 2,4 degrés du ciel, ce qui correspond à une extension physique de 35 parsecs. Le nuage moléculaire se trouve à 830 parsecs, presque exactement entre les nuages moléculaires d'Orion A et d'Orion B et l'association OB1 de Canis Major. Les nuages moléculaires d'Orion se trouvent à environ 400 parsecs et Canis Major OB1 à 1 200 parsecs.

1 parsec = 3,26 années-lumière.

NGC 5728


Voici NGC 5728, une galaxie spirale située à environ 130 millions d'années-lumière de la Terre. Cette image a été prise à l'aide de la caméra à grand champ 3 (WFC3) de Hubble, qui est extrêmement sensible à la lumière visible et infrarouge. Par conséquent, cette image capture magnifiquement les régions de NGC 5728 qui émettent de la lumière visible et infrarouge. Cependant, les galaxies telles que NGC 5728 peuvent émettre de nombreux autres types de lumière que le WFC3 ne peut pas voir.

Sur cette image, NGC 5728 apparaît comme une galaxie spirale barrée, élégante et lumineuse. Ce que cette image ne montre pas, cependant, c'est que NGC 5728 est également un type de galaxie monumentalement énergétique, connu sous le nom de galaxie de Seyfert. Cette catégorie de galaxies extrêmement énergétiques est alimentée par leurs noyaux actifs, connus sous le nom de noyaux actifs de galaxie (AGN). Il existe de nombreux types d'AGN, et seuls certains d'entre eux alimentent les galaxies de Seyfert. NGC 5728, comme toutes les galaxies de Seyfert, se distingue des autres galaxies à AGN par le fait que la galaxie elle-même est clairement visible. D'autres types d'AGN, comme les quasars, émettent tellement de rayonnement qu'il est presque impossible d'observer la galaxie qui les abrite. Comme le montre cette image, NGC 5728 est clairement observable et, aux longueurs d'onde optiques et infrarouges, elle semble tout à fait normale. Il est fascinant de savoir que le centre de la galaxie émet de grandes quantités de lumière dans des parties du spectre électromagnétique auxquelles le WFC3 n'est tout simplement pas sensible! Pour compliquer les choses, l'AGN au cœur de NGC 5728 pourrait en fait émettre de la lumière visible et infrarouge, mais celle-ci pourrait être bloquée par la poussière qui entoure le cœur de la galaxie.

L'étoile la plus visible sur le bord de la galaxie (en apparence) est Gaia DR3 6285464499148592000, un soleil orange 10% moins gros et 20% moins massif que le Soleil située à 1989 années-lumière. Sa durée de vie est estimée 18 milliards d'années.

L'étoile proche de centre de la galaxie est Gaia DR3 6285466045336820352, un gros soleil orange 5 fois plus gros et 2 fois plus massif que le Soleil situé à 12151 années-lumière.



NGC 4694


La plupart des galaxies que nous connaissons appartiennent à l'un des deux types facilement identifiables. Les galaxies spirales sont jeunes et énergiques, remplies du gaz nécessaire à la formation de nouvelles étoiles et dotées de bras spiraux abritant des étoiles chaudes et brillantes. Les galaxies elliptiques ont un aspect beaucoup plus piétonnier, leur lumière provenant d'une population uniforme d'étoiles plus vieilles et plus rouges. Mais d'autres galaxies nécessitent une étude approfondie pour être comprises : c'est le cas de NGC 4694, une galaxie située à 54 millions d'années-lumière de la Terre dans l'amas de galaxies de la Vierge.

NGC 4694 possède un disque lisse et sans bras qui, comme une galaxie elliptique, est pratiquement dépourvu de formation d'étoiles. Cependant, sa population stellaire est encore relativement jeune et de nouvelles étoiles se forment activement dans son noyau, ce qui explique la luminosité que nous pouvons voir sur cette image et lui donne un profil stellaire nettement différent de celui d'une galaxie elliptique classique. La galaxie est également imprégnée du type de gaz et de poussière que l'on trouve normalement dans une jeune galaxie spirale. Les galaxies elliptiques contiennent souvent des quantités importantes de poussière, mais pas le gaz nécessaire à la formation de nouvelles étoiles. NGC 4694 est entourée d'un énorme nuage d'hydrogène invisible, carburant nécessaire à la formation d'étoiles. C'est cette activité stellaire qui est à l'origine des observations de Hubble.

Comme le montre cette image de Hubble, la poussière dans cette galaxie forme des structures chaotiques qui indiquent une sorte de perturbation. Il s'avère que le nuage d'hydrogène gazeux autour de NGC 4694 forme un long pont avec une galaxie naine peu lumineuse située à proximité et nommée VCC 2062. Les deux galaxies ont subi une violente collision et la plus grande, NGC 4694, accrète le gaz de la plus petite galaxie. En raison de sa forme particulière et de son activité de formation d'étoiles, NGC 4694 a été classée dans la catégorie des galaxies lenticulaires : elle ne possède pas les bras caractéristiques d'une galaxie spirale, mais n'est pas aussi dépourvue de gaz qu'une galaxie elliptique, et possède toujours un bulbe et un disque galactiques. Certaines galaxies ne sont pas faciles à classer dans l'une ou l'autre catégorie.

Subway Tooter & Foggy Minds


Tried logging on to here via Subway Tooter, which I use for Mastodon. It's supposed to work with Friendica too. I tried the Friendiqa app but it doesn't even recognise this site exists. Anyway it appeared I'd logged on successfully but when I went to look at my feed I got a very long error message. The folks on Subway Tooter's help forum said it was a server issue and to contact the server owner.
in reply to Vanessa

@Vanessa That would be me for future reference (in the menu under information it has a lot of the server details and in there is a link to my profile as well as my email address)

If you look further down on that error message where it says HTTP 502 Bad Gateway it tells me the server might have been having issues at that point in time. In all honestly it's kinda unavoidable at the time due to resource constraints, sites currently on a rented dedicated server until I fix my housing situation (current ETA is late october when I can work on putting it back on my own, more stable, hardware again), so it probably was just having issues loading that page at that time.

There's not a lot I can do with troubleshooting clients, but let me know if it keeps having trouble and maybe I can work with you to find some answers?

in reply to Vanessa

I've got it partially working. The feed doesn't work but the notifications do and I can boost/repost posts from my Mastodon accounts onto my Foggy Minds account
