Les géologues établissent un lien entre le changement climatique rapide survenu il y a 50 millions d'années et l'augmentation des niveaux de CO2.
À la fin du paléocène et au début de l'éocène, il y a 59 à 51 millions d'années, la Terre a connu des périodes de réchauffement spectaculaires, à la fois des périodes graduelles s'étendant sur des millions d'années et des événements de réchauffement soudains connus sous le nom d'hyperthermies.
Les émissions massives de dioxyde de carbone (CO2) et d'autres gaz à effet de serre ont été à l'origine de ce réchauffement planétaire, mais d'autres facteurs, tels que l'activité tectonique, pourraient également avoir joué un rôle.
De nouvelles recherches menées par des géoscientifiques de l'université de l'Utah associent les températures de surface de la mer aux niveaux de CO2 atmosphérique au cours de cette période, montrant que les deux étaient étroitement liés. Les résultats fournissent également des études de cas pour tester les mécanismes de rétroaction du cycle du carbone et les sensibilités essentielles pour prédire le changement climatique anthropique, alors que nous continuons à déverser des gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère à une échelle sans précédent dans l'histoire de la planète.
«La principale raison pour laquelle nous nous intéressons à ces événements mondiaux de libération de carbone est qu'ils peuvent fournir des analogues pour les changements futurs», a déclaré l'auteur principal, Dustin Harper, chercheur postdoctoral au département de géologie et de géophysique. «Nous n'avons pas vraiment d'événement analogue parfait avec les mêmes conditions de base et le même taux de libération de carbone.»
Mais l'étude publiée lundi dans les Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggère que les émissions au cours de deux anciens «maxima thermiques» sont suffisamment similaires au changement climatique anthropique actuel pour aider les scientifiques à en prévoir les conséquences.
L'équipe de recherche a analysé des fossiles microscopiques - récupérés dans des carottes de forage prélevées sur un plateau sous-marin du Pacifique - afin de caractériser la chimie des océans de surface à l'époque où ces créatures à coquille étaient en vie. À l'aide d'un modèle statistique sophistiqué, ils ont reconstitué les températures de surface des océans et les niveaux de CO2 atmosphérique sur une période de 6 millions d'années couvrant deux hyperthermies, le maximum thermique du Paléocène-Éocène (PETM), il y a 56 millions d'années, et le maximum thermique de l'Éocène 2 (ETM-2), il y a 54 millions d'années.
Les résultats indiquent que l'augmentation des niveaux de CO2 dans l'atmosphère s'est accompagnée d'une hausse des températures mondiales.
«Notre planète et notre atmosphère sont influencées de multiples façons par les ajouts de CO2, mais dans chaque cas, quelle que soit la source de CO2, nous constatons des effets similaires sur le système climatique», a déclaré Gabriel Bowen, professeur de géologie et de géophysique à l'université de New York et coauteur de l'étude.
«Nous nous sommes intéressés à la sensibilité du système climatique à ces changements de CO2. Ce que nous voyons dans cette étude, c'est qu'il y a une certaine variation, peut-être une sensibilité un peu plus faible, un réchauffement plus faible associé à une quantité donnée de changement de CO2 lorsque nous examinons ces changements à très long terme. Mais dans l'ensemble, nous observons une gamme commune de sensibilités climatiques».
Aujourd'hui, les activités humaines associées aux combustibles fossiles libèrent du carbone 4 à 10 fois plus rapidement que lors de ces anciens événements hyperthermiques. Toutefois, la quantité totale de carbone libérée au cours de ces événements anciens est similaire à la fourchette prévue pour les émissions humaines, ce qui pourrait donner aux chercheurs un aperçu de ce qui nous attend, nous et les générations futures.
Les scientifiques doivent d'abord déterminer ce qui est arrivé au climat et aux océans pendant ces épisodes de réchauffement planétaire, il y a plus de 50 millions d'années. «Ces événements pourraient représenter une étude de cas de type scénario moyen ou pire», a déclaré M. Harper. «Nous pouvons les étudier pour répondre à la question suivante: quel est le changement environnemental qui se produit en raison de cette libération de carbone?»
La Terre était très chaude pendant le PETM. Aucune calotte glaciaire ne recouvrait les pôles et la température des océans atteignait les 32°C.
Pour déterminer les niveaux de CO2 dans les océans, les chercheurs se sont tournés vers les restes fossilisés de foraminifères, un organisme unicellulaire à coquille qui s'apparente au plancton. L'équipe de recherche a basé son étude sur des carottes extraites précédemment par le Programme international de découverte des océans à deux endroits dans le Pacifique.
Les coquilles de foram accumulent de petites quantités de bore, dont les isotopes sont un indicateur des concentrations de CO2 dans l'océan à l'époque où les coquilles se sont formées, selon M. Harper.
«Nous avons mesuré la chimie du bore dans les coquilles et nous sommes en mesure de traduire ces valeurs en utilisant des observations modernes sur les conditions passées de l'eau de mer. Nous pouvons obtenir le CO2 de l'eau de mer et le traduire en CO2 atmosphérique», a déclaré M. Harper. «L'objectif de l'intervalle d'étude ciblé était d'établir de nouveaux relevés de CO2 et de température pour le PETM et l'ETM-2, qui représentent deux des meilleurs analogues en termes de changement moderne, et de fournir une évaluation de fond à plus long terme du système climatique afin de mieux contextualiser ces événements.»
Les carottes étudiées par Harper ont été extraites de Shatsky Rise dans le Pacifique Nord subtropical, un endroit idéal pour récupérer des sédiments du fond de l'océan qui reflètent les conditions d'un passé ancien.
Les coquilles de carbonate se dissolvent lorsqu'elles se déposent dans les profondeurs de l'océan. Les scientifiques doivent donc se tourner vers des plateaux sous-marins comme celui de Shatsky Rise, où la profondeur de l'eau est relativement faible. Pendant que leurs habitants vivaient il y a des millions d'années, les coquilles de foraminifères enregistraient les conditions à la surface de la mer.
«Ils meurent ensuite et tombent au fond de la mer, où ils se déposent à environ deux kilomètres de profondeur », explique M. Harper. «Nous sommes en mesure de récupérer la séquence complète des fossiles morts. À ces endroits, au milieu de l'océan, il n'y a pas vraiment d'apport de sédiments en provenance des continents, et ce sont donc principalement ces fossiles qui sont déposés, et c'est tout. C'est une très bonne archive pour ce que nous voulons faire.»

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.

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: 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.

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”).
Ne donnez pas du riz ou du pain aux pigeons, ce n'est pas bon pour eux. Le riz gonfle dans leur estomac lors de la digestion ce qui leur provoque de vives douleurs. C'est pire avec le pain: les oiseaux ne digèrent pas la levure ou le sel, le gluten est mauvais pour leur foie et ils peuvent même développer une maladie nommée «le syndrome de l'aile d'ange» qui frappe les canards ou les oies que nous nourrissons avec du pain au bord des étangs.
Extrait de "Éloge de la sincérité" de Montesquieu (1717):
Le vice serait réduit à cette triste et déplorable condition où gémit la vertu, et il faudrait avoir autant de force et de courage pour être méchant, qu'il en faut, dans ce siècle corrompu, pour être homme de bien. Quand la sincérité ne nous guérirait que de l'orgueil, ce serait une grande vertu qui nous guérirait du plus grand de tous les vices. Il n'y a que trop de Narcisses dans le monde, de ces gens amoureux d'eux-mêmes. Ils sont perdus s'ils trouvent dans leurs amis de la complaisance. Prévenus de leur mérite, remplis d'une idée qui leur est chère, ils passent leur vie à s'admirer. Que faudrait-il pour les guérir d'une folie qui semble incurable? Il ne faudrait que les faire apercevoir du petit nombre de leurs rivaux; que leur faire sentir leurs faibles; que mettre leurs vices dans le point de vue qu'il faut pour les faire voir; que se joindre à eux contre eux-mêmes, et leur parler dans la simplicité de la vérité.

Citation déformée venant d'un tract clandestin du Parti Communiste Français intitulé "Révolution et contre-révolution au 20e siècle" en réponse à "Or et Sang", conférence donnée par Alfred Rosenberg le 28 novembre 1940 à la Chambre des députés de Paris en règlement de comptes des idées de 1789 qui «récupère» la révolte populaire de la fin du XVIIIe siècle pour présenter le national-socialisme comme une authentique révolution nationale. L'auteur de ce tract de 1940 est Georges Politzer.
Cette citation n'est pas extraite de "La Philosophie et les mythes", texte publié dans le n°1 de "La Pensée" en 1939, contrairement à ce qu'affirme le Café Littéraire.
Extrait du tract "Révolution et contre-révolution au 20e siècle" écrit par Georges Politzer (1940):
La Révolution française est l'honneur historique du peuple de France. Le culte du passé glorieux qu'elle représente acquiert un contenu et un sens nouveau à l'heure où le capitalisme français livre la nation à l'oppression d'un impérialisme étranger. Le discours de M. Rosenberg appelait donc une réponse. Les marxistes français, c'est-à-dire les communistes, la lui apportent. Ce fait est à la fois naturel et significatif. La lutte active contre toute cette colonisation spirituelle, dont le voyage de M. Rosenberg est le symbole, est inséparable de la lutte pour la liberté et l'indépendance de la France. Le Parti Communiste Français a la fierté d'être à l'avant-garde de cette lutte. Le fait que ce sont les communistes français, et eux seuls, qui répondent à M. Rosenberg, montre, en même temps, combien il est vrai que la défaite a marqué aussi l'effondrement idéologique de tous les autres partis. M. Rosenberg est venu à Paris pour un «règlement de comptes» avec les idées de 1789.

Citation un peu déformée extraite de "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" de Friedrich Nietzsche (1883) , Première partie "La vieille et la jeune femme".
Ce philosophe n'avait pas la lumière intérieure (et il a déprimé plus d'un de ses lecteurs).
Cette citation n'apporte rien de nouveau dans la connaissance de l'être humain (et il a fait des généralités inacceptables!).
Extrait de "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" de Friedrich Nietzsche (1883) , Première partie "La vieille et la jeune femme":
«Maintes fois déjà Zarathoustra a parlé, même à nous autres femmes, mais jamais il ne nous a parlé de la femme.» Je lui ai répondu: «Il ne faut parler de la femme qu'aux hommes.» «À moi aussi tu peux parler de la femme, dit-elle; je suis assez vieille pour oublier aussitôt tout ce que tu m'auras dit.» Et je condescendis aux désirs de la vieille femme et je lui dis: Chez la femme tout est une énigme: mais il y a un mot à cet énigme: ce mot est grossesse. L'homme est pour la femme un moyen: le but est toujours l'enfant. Mais qu'est la femme pour l'homme? L'homme véritable veut deux choses: le danger et le jeu. C'est pourquoi il veut la femme, le jouet le plus dangereux. L'homme doit être élevé pour la guerre, et la femme pour le délassement du guerrier: tout le reste est folie. Le guerrier n'aime les fruits trop doux. C'est pourquoi il aime la femme; une saveur amère reste même à la femme la plus douce. Mieux que l'homme, la femme comprend les enfants, mais l'homme est plus enfant que la femme. Dans tout homme véritable se cache un enfant: un enfant qui veut jouer. Allons, femmes, découvrez-moi l'enfant dans l'homme! Que la femme soit un jouet, pur et menu, pareil au diamant, rayonnant des vertus d'un monde qui n'est pas encore!

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: 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”).
Karl Marx: The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements. They wish for a bourgeoisie without a proletariat. The bourgeoisie naturally conceives the world in which it is supreme to be the best; and bourgeois Socialism develops this comfortable conception into various more or less complete systems. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote6233

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.

NGC 6744 est une galaxie spirale intermédiaire relativement rapprochée de la constellation du Paon. Les dernières estimations de sa distance en 2018 la situe entre 23 et 29 millions d'années-lumière de nous.
NGC 6744 n'a été prise en photo par Hubble qu'en partie:
Elle a au moins une galaxie naine pour compagnon bien visible qui tourne autour d'elle. Il s'agit de NGC 6744A que j'ai entouré en vert sur cette autre photographie récente prise par un amateur. Sa distance n'a pourtant pas pu être établie (même pas de redshift).
Un article de 2022 estime que cette galaxie à 5 ou 6 compagnons nains. NGC 6744 est plus grande que la Voie Lactée: ~172000 années-lumière de diamètre face à ~110000 années-lumière.
Voici l'identification de 8 étoiles présentes sur les clichés (les 3 dernières sont bien visibles sur le cliché de Hubble à droite):
1 - CPD-63 4483. Il s'agit d'une géante orange 11 fois plus grosse et 3 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 2418 années-lumière. 2 - TYC 9079-905-1. Il s'agit d'une géante orange 21 fois plus grosse et 4 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 6430 années-lumière. 3 - TYC 9079-401-1. Il s'agit d'une géante blanche 5 fois plus grosse et 3 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 4924 années-lumière. 4 - UCAC2 3812567. Il s'agit d'une géante orange 10 fois plus grosse et 2 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 4401 années-lumière. 5 - Gaia DR3 6438527753371409152. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 2 fois plus grosse et 1,4 fois plus massive que le Soleil (espérance de vie: 4,1 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 2222 années-lumière. 6 - Gaia DR3 6438576269322000640. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune/orange de même taille que le Soleil mais 0,8 fois moins massive (espérance de vie 15 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 2454 années-lumière. 7 - Gaia DR3 6438576338039345920. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 2 fois plus grosse et 1,4 fois plus massive que le Soleil (espérance de vie: 4,6 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 4039 années-lumière. 8 - Gaia DR3 6438576269322000000. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 2 fois plus grosse et 1,2 fois plus massive que le Soleil (espérance de vie: 6,2 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 6320 années-lumière.

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.

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.

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.

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”).
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.

Extrait de l'ouvrage "Traité des vertus" de Vladimir Jankélévitch (1949), Volume 2 "Les Vertus et l'Amour" de Vladimir Jankélévitch:
Kant l'avait dit pourtant le premier: la dignité de la personne est infinie; elle échappe donc à toute évaluation quantitative. Le mensonge-par-amour qui est survérité est paradoxalement plus vrai que la vérité vraie; la vérité pneumatique du mensonge d'amour est plus vraie que la vérité grammatique de la vérité pure et simple. C'est la vérité pure et simple qui est dans bien des cas un mensonge. Un sage qui ment par bonté est donc plus profondément véridique qu'un sophiste qui dit la vérité par méchanceté! Comprenez cela... Si donc la vérité n'est pas toujours aimante, l'amour, lui, est toujours vrai, et bien plus que vrai: car même s'il ment aujourd'hui, il sera vrai demain et pour tous les temps. futurs. Dire la vérité au faible, comme une brute, voila certes une glorieuse victoire; mais de cette victoire la vérité elle-même ne voudrait pas si on le lui demandait; elle nous dirait de mentir; comme saint Paul dirait aux bien-pensants qui se réclament de lui: faites comme j'ai fait, ne faites pas ce que j'ai fait. De même que les organes de nos sens ont une «portée», - ou plus précisément, de même qu'on ne perçoit ni une grandeur infinie ni un son infini, mais seulement les qualités situées dans l'octave intermédiaire entre l'«infra» et l'«ultra», de même notre entendement a, comme dirait Malebranche, une capacité infinie qui fait qu'on peut être assourdi, ébloui, aveuglé par une vérité maniée sans précautions. Le Nunquam augustinien est donc bien trop simpliste et sommaire pour la complexité innombrable de ces situations impures en vue desquelles Pascal avait imaginé l'esprit de finesse. Être tout le temps et brutalement sincère, c'est parfois ne l'être pas; vice versa pour être sincère profondément il faut cesser de l'être: francs avec les forts, timide avec les faibles; véridique, mais pudique autant que véridique, - tel est l’homme sincère. Malheur à ceux qui mettent au-dessous de l'amour la vérité criminelle de la délation! Malheur aux brutes qui disent toujours la vérité! Malheur à ceux qui n’ont jamais menti!
Citation apocryphe apparue en 2017 aux États-Unis. Elle ne résume même pas la pensée de Kant sur le mensonge. En particulier, Kant ne s'est pas intéressé aux intentions ayant motivé le mensonge. Et c'est là son erreur (voir la pensée de Vladimir Jankélévitch sur sa notion de survérité)!
Extrait de "La Métaphysique des mœurs" d'Emmanuel Kant (1797), partie "Doctrine de la vertu", Livre premier, chapitre second, article premier "Du mensonge":
Le mensonge peut être extérieur (mendacium externum), ou intérieur. Par le premier, l'homme se rend méprisable aux yeux des autres; par le second, ce qui est encore pis, il se rend méprisable à ses propres yeux, et offense la dignité de l'humanité dans sa personne. Nous n'avons à tenir compte ni du tort que le mensonge peut causer aux autres hommes, puisque ce n'est pas là ce qui fait le caractère propre de ce vice (autrement il ne serait autre chose que la violation d'un devoir envers autrui), ni de celui que le menteur peut se faire à lui-même, car, considéré comme un défaut de prudence, il serait en contradiction avec les maximes pragmatiques mais non avec les maximes morales, et par conséquent il ne pourrait être considéré comme la transgression d'un devoir. - Le mensonge est l'avilissement et comme l'anéantissement de la dignité humaine. Un homme qui ne croit pas lui-même ce qu'il dit à un autre (fût-ce à une personne idéale), a encore moins de valeur que n'en a une simple chose; car quelqu'un peut tirer parti de l'utilité de cette chose, puisque c'est un objet réel qui lui est donné, tandis que, si en prétendant communiquer à un autre ses pensées, on se sert de mots qui signifient (à dessein) le contraire de ce que l'on pense, on se propose une fin qui va directement contre la destination naturelle de la faculté de communiquer ses pensées, et par conséquent on abdique sa personnalité; aussi le menteur est-il moins un homme véritable que l'apparence trompeuse d'un homme. - La véracité dans les déclarations s'appelle aussi loyauté; quand il s'agit de promesse, probité, et en général bonne foi.
Citation extraite de " The Soul of Man under Socialism" (L'âme de l'homme sous le socialisme), essai d'Oscar Wilde publié en 1891 défendant une vision individualiste libertaire dans un monde socialiste.
Extrait de " The Soul of Man under Socialism" (L'âme de l'homme sous le socialisme) d'Oscar Wilde (1891):
Dans les nouvelles conditions, l'individualisme sera beaucoup plus libre, beaucoup plus fin et beaucoup plus intense qu'il ne l'est aujourd'hui. Je ne parle pas du grand individualisme imaginairement réalisé par les poètes que j'ai mentionnés, mais du grand individualisme réel latent et potentiel dans l'humanité en général. Car la reconnaissance de la propriété privée a réellement nui à l'individualisme et l'a obscurci, en confondant l'homme avec ce qu'il possède. Elle a complètement détourné l'individualisme de son but. Elle a fait du gain, et non de la croissance, son objectif. C'est ainsi que l'homme a cru que l'important était d'avoir, sans savoir que l'important était d'être. La véritable perfection de l'homme ne réside pas dans ce qu'il possède, mais dans ce qu'il est.
|La vraie valeur d'un homme réside, non dans ce qu'il a, mais dans ce qu'il est.|
