Kreuder aprovechó para introducirla en las esferas del régimen nazi y Serrano llegó a participar en varios mítines y ceremonias nacionalsocialistas. Sus canciones fueron muy difundidas en las emisoras afines al Reich. Más adelante, declaró que nunca tuvo afinidad política alguna ni fue nazi, a pesar de que en sus grabaciones llevaba el emblema del águila nazi en su vestimenta.
ellauri062.html on line 782: Entre 1938 y 1941, obtuvo diferentes papeles en filmes alemanes. Mantuvo una muy buena relación con la prensa nacionalsocialista: participó en varios recitales y ceremonias del Tercer Reich y adquirió el estatus y conducta social de una diva. De hecho, se ganó el afecto de Adolf Hitler, quien llegó a enviarle una fotografía personal autografiada. En su momento, fue la musa del ministro de propaganda Joseph Goebbels y otros dignatarios; por ende, su carrera se potenció enormemente y se le abrieron las puertas a la elite alemana ganando un elevado estatus social. Grabó 118 canciones y, por los derechos de autor, sus ganancias en marcos alemanes fueron importantes. Tal fue el éxito obtenido que la personalidad de Serrano adquirió los ribetes de una diva sin sospechar que su éxito era dependiente del régimen. Para Serrano, más que la política importaba el escenario y entregar su talento.
ellauri063.html on line 47: Yes, Orwell was not exactly LGBTQ-friendly. He had a lot of opinions which now seem eccentric or objectionable. He had a lifelong tendency to make disparaging remarks about vegetarians, or people who wore sandals. I suspect that this came from the association in his mind of socialism with people who lived the early 20th century equivalent of an alternative lifestyle: it was very important to Orwell to show people that being socialist didn’t mean that you had to have to have a long beard, wear sandals or not eat meat, and that socialism was thoroughly British, manly and commonsensical.
ellauri063.html on line 72: Is it hypocritical for George Orwell to write an anti-tyrannic book when he himself was a socialist?
ellauri063.html on line 98: The second form of socialism, 'Socialism from below', represents Marx, Lenin and Trotsky’s view. It involves the great mass of the population creating a socialist society for themselves, not waiting for anyone, or any party, to do it for them.
ellauri063.html on line 100: However, this version of socialism has to spread and take over the core economies of capitalism so that it can't be strangled in the above manner — as the proletariat of each country rebel against their own ruling-class. Each strike, for example, is a mini-rehearsal for this (whether the strikers appreciate this or not), where workers are forced by circumstances to organise in their own communities, sharing money, clothing, food, shelter, etc. In effect, they have to run a mini-socialist society of their own for a few weeks or months.
ellauri063.html on line 108: b) Equally, if not more important, a socialist/communist society can only be built by the working class, organised for and by themselves, acting democratically on their own behalf, and not relying on anyone else or any party to do this for them.
ellauri105.html on line 101: The result was the most avowedly liberal call to action I have ever heard a President make from that congressional podium. Unlike the longtime socialist Bernie Sanders, whom Biden beat in the Democratic primaries, he does not call himself a revolutionary. Unlike the self-styled populist Donald S. Trump, whom Biden beat in the general election, he does not call himself a disrupter. Were Congress to enact his proposals, Biden would end up as both.
ellauri106.html on line 341: Howells was a Christian socialist whose ideals were greatly influenced by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. These influences led him to write on issues of social justice from a moral and egalitarian point of view, being critic of the social effects of industrial capitalism. He was, however, not a Marxist. Phew.

New York Assembly has passed some bills that ought to completely outlaw the socialists! And there's an elevator-runners' strike in New York and a lot of college boys are taking their places. That's the stuff! And a mass-meeting in Birmingham's demanded that this Mick agitator, this fellow De Valera, be deported. Dead right, by golly! All these agitators paid with German gold anyway. And we got no business interfering with the Irish or any other foreign government. Keep our hands strictly off. And there's another well-authenticated rumor from Russia that Lenin is dead. That's fine. It's beyond me why we don't just step in there and kick those Bolshevik cusses out.”

ellauri145.html on line 111: The transformation of labor into pleasure is the craziest idea in Fourier´s giant socialist utopia," said Marcuse. He had a concern for the sexually rejected; jilted suitors would be led away by a corps of "fairies" who would soon cure them of their lovesickness, and visitors could consult the card-index of personality types for suitable partners for casual sex. He also defended homosexuality as a personal preference for some people. Fourier sexualizes work itself—the life of the Phalanstery is a continual orgy of intense feeling, intellection, & activity, a society of lovers & wild enthusiasts.

ellauri151.html on line 124: During the 1930s, he briefly became a communist, or more precisely, a fellow traveler (he never formally joined any communist party). As a distinguished writer sympathizing with the cause of communism, he was invited to speak French at Maxim Gorky´s funeral and to tour the Soviet Union as a guest of the Soviet Union of Writers. He encountered censorship of his speeches and was particularly disillusioned with the state of culture under Soviet communism, breaking with his socialist friends [who?] in Retour de L´U.R.S.S. in 1936. This is what he said of them:
ellauri152.html on line 753: He considered the core of Hasidim to consist of three "loves": love of God, of Torah, and of Israel. Just as his intended audience consisted of assimilated Jews and non-Jews, he adopted novel formulations of these loves: "love of Torah" would come to encompass inspiring works of "secular" art and literature, while "love of Israel" would be transformed into "love of humanity" (despite which Israel would still be recognized as the "firstborn child of God"). Zeitlin's religious ideal also contained a socialist element: the Hasidim he pictured would refuse to take advantage of workers.

ellauri162.html on line 696: The Church recognizes that the lack of workers union contributed to an unjust situation where many work in conditions little better than slavery. One solution proposed by socialists was to eliminate private property altogether. Pope Leo XIII dismisses this solution because "every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own." He also notes that "the impelling reason and motive of his work is to obtain property." Instead of helping the working class, the elimination of private property would only hurt those it was intended to benefit.
ellauri203.html on line 113: Belinsky preached his socialist-atheist way with such passion that Dostoevsky couldn’t resist. Accepting the socialist teachings of Belinsky, Dostoevsky saw his Christian convictions being shattered. He describes this time as the time of “losing Christ”. “We were infected with the ideas of theoretical socialism of those days!” – Dostoevsky would recall. For his involvement in the antigovernment movement, Dostoevsky was sentenced to capital punishment, which was later replaced with four years of penal labor (Rus. katorga).
ellauri203.html on line 119: Another problem, which could make matters worse, was the intrusion of the socialist (atheist) teaching mentioned above. From his own experience, Dostoevsky knew the danger and destructiveness of this socialist way, offered by many as the way to reform society. In his letter to M. Pogodin, Dostoevsky writes that ‘socialism and Christianity are antonyms’. Christianity and private enterprise are synonyms. The danger of this way, in Dostoevsky’s opinion, was its negation of God and establishment of a new atheistic society.

ellauri214.html on line 81: With talk of sex and drugs, the British author's first adult novel marks a turn away from her family-friendly series about a boy wizard. Some reviewers call her first book after the "Harry Potter" series an attack on conservatives, with one tabloid saying it presents "500 pages of relentless socialist manifesto masquerading as literature."
ellauri221.html on line 267: The Adventures of Dunno in Flower Town presents a socialist anarchist utopia of Flower town. This society is self sufficient and enjoys a variety of personalities. It raises questions of the role of science and medicine, travel and knowledge, self-subsistence and hierarchy in a simple, humorous and concomitantly lovely style. Margaret Wetlin, an American who had immigrated to Russia during Stalinism, made an excellent translation of this book into English.
ellauri222.html on line 102: “He became irascible and angry, anti-black and anti-women’s lib,” Greg Bellow told the audience.

Saul Bellow’s attitude towards Judaism was changed completely by the Six Day War in June 1967. It transformed him from a socialist to a conservative. He had a need to get involved and, much to the surprise of his family, he left for Israel to cover the war as a correspondent for Newsday. “I had to go,” Saul explained at the time.
ellauri236.html on line 376: In New York City, a local goon and gang leader named Riley learns that the wealthy socialist Miss Blandish will be wearing an expensive diamond necklace to her birthday celebration. Riley and his gang plan to steal the necklace and ransom it. The inept criminals manage to kidnap Miss Blandish and her boyfriend, but after the latter is accidentally killed they instead decide to hold Miss Blandish ransom, reasoning that her millionaire father will pay more to get his daughter back safely than the necklace is worth.
ellauri236.html on line 380: Meanwhile, the police are on the trail of the kidnappers, and Dave Fenner, an ex journalist and now a private investigator, is hired to rescue her and deal with the gangsters. Fenner and the police eventually work out where the young socialist is located and go to the club, where a gun battle ensues. Slim is killed and Miss Blandish is rescued, but unfortunately, after months of fornication and drugs at the hands of the gangsters, Miss Blandish cannot cope with life without Slim (and his Ma!) and kills herself. Damaged goods.
ellauri249.html on line 76: Brodsky’s poetry bears the marks of his confrontations with the Russian authorities. “Brodsky is someone who has tasted extremely bitter bread,” wrote Stephen Spender in New Statesman, “and his poetry has the air of being ground out between his teeth. … It should not be supposed that he is a liberal, or even a socialist. He deals in unpleasing, hostile truths and is a realist of the least comforting and comfortable kind. Everything nice that you would like him to think, he does not think. But he is utterly truthful, deeply religious, fearless and pure. Loving, as well as hating.”
ellauri263.html on line 656: the Theosophical Society under Annie Besant’s leadership (1907–1933) was, at least in England, an important part of a loosely socialist and feminist political culture. Hyvä desantti! Olet idän tähti! Enola Holmes-sarjassa oli 1 episodi Besantista tulitikkutehtaalla, vaikkei sen nimeä kyllä mainittu.
ellauri263.html on line 658: Jenkki Olcott ei siitä pitänyt, eikä rupusakin vulgäärispiritualismista. Olcott railed against ‘tricky mediums, lying spirits, and revolting social theories’ in Spiritualism. He reproached spiritualism for the presence of ‘free-lovers, pantarchists, socialists, and other theorists who have fastened upon a sublime and pure faith as barnacles upon a ship’s bottom’. Blavatsky, on the other hand, focused exclusively on the uplifting of oneself rather than others. She did not sympathize with socialism per se at all, and in her scrapbook she even wrote about Sotheran: ‘a friend of Communists
ellauri300.html on line 737: Det var den 16 oktober 1946. Julius Streicher, som i praktiken hade dömts till döden för att ha gett ut den antisemitiska tidningen Der Stürmer, var en av de tio ledande nationalsocialister som denna dag skulle hängas i Nürnberg. När de amerikanska vakterna eskorterade honom till galgen hade Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank och Wilhelm Frick redan lämnat den jordiska tillvaron. Wilhelm Frick hade ropat ”länge leve det eviga Tyskland!” innan falluckan öppnats under honom och nu när det var Streichers tur att yttra sina sista ord ropade han ”Heil Hitler!” och sedan ”Detta är en glädjerik judisk fest, det är min purimfest!” Med den dödsdömdes bittra ironi uppmärksammade han på detta sätt sambandet mellan de tio män som hängdes denna dag och Hamans tio söner som, enligt Bibeln, hängdes en gång för länge sedan i det persiska rikets huvudstad Shushan och vilket judarna, under en fest en gång om året, firar än idag.
ellauri323.html on line 180: Member of the Hadash Party and the Israeli Knesset Ofer Cassif says while the killing of civilians on both sides was condemnable, it was Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories, and the actions of the Netanyahu-led government, that was responsible for the deaths of Israelis and Palestinians. Cassif also criticised the US government, saying that if it had pressed Israel to move towards a peaceful political solution and to end the occupation, events such as today’s would not have happened. Eurowesterners are making very similar statements and language that you have heard from US President Joe Biden. They are firmly blaming Hamas for this attack. Biden pledges ‘all appropriate means of support’ to Israel. The US provides $3.8bn in unconditional military aid to Zion annually. Hadash is a left-wing party that supports a socialistic economy and workers' rights. It emphasizes Jewish-Arab cooperation, and its leaders were among the first to support a two-state solution. Its voters are principally middle class and secular Arabs, many from the north and Christian communities.

ellauri396.html on line 165: Christopher Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was a British and American author, polemicist, debater and journalist who in his youth took part in demonstrations against the Vietnam War, joined organisations such as the International Socialists while at university and began to identify as a socialist. However, after 9/11 he no longer regarded himself as a socialist and his political thinking became largely dominated by the issue of defending civilization from terrorists and against the totalitarian regimes that protect them. Hitchens nonetheless continued to identify as a Marxist, endorsing the materialist conception of history, but believed that Karl Marx had underestimated the revolutionary nature of capitalism. He sympathized with libertarian ideals of limited state interference, but considered libertarianism not to be a viable system. But anyway.
ellauri408.html on line 702: Au cours des voyages qu'il fait à Paris, Proudhon rencontre Karl Grün, Mikhaïl Bakounine, Alexandre Herzen qui deviendront ses amis et Karl Rot qui admirait en lui le seul socialiste français dégagé du mysticisme chrétien. En plus, il est lui-même prolétaire, ouvrier! Et il précise : « nous ne devons pas poser l'action révolutionnaire comme moyen de réforme sociale, parce que ce prétendu moyen serait tout simplement un appel à la force, à l'arbitraire, bref, une contradiction. L'échange de lettres avec Marx annonce la rupture, qui intervient quelques mois plus tard. Quand, en octobre 1846, Proudhon publie le Système des contradictions économiques ou Philosophie de la misère, Marx riposte par Misère de la philosophie. Marx considère que Proudhon est un socialiste « petit-bourgeois » ou nettement « bourgeois », qui défend un système utopique qui combinerait les avantages du socialisme et du capitalisme sans leurs inconvénients. Il écrit ainsi : « Les socialistes bourgeois veulent tous les avantages des conditions sociales modernes sans les luttes et les dangers qui en découlent nécessairement ». Il critique notamment ses conceptions économiques sur la valeur, son soutien à la concurrence ou encore son opposition aux grèves ouvrières. Marx est le ténia du socialisme (sosialismin lapamato), Proudhomme sinkauttaa vastineexi ja kommentoi marginaaliin manifestia: « Calomnie », « Absurde », « Faux » « Mensonge », « Pasquinade ». « Quelle bêtise après ce que j´ai écrit — En vérité Marx est jaloux » ; « Allons mon cher Marx, vous êtes de mauvaise foi, et tout à la fois vous ne savez rien » .

Some French critics denounced the film as unpatriotic. The film has also been criticized for being too selective and that the director was "too close to the events portrayed to provide an objective study of the period."

xxx/ellauri103.html on line 182: My thrust is that the socialist ideologies recently come into vogue challenge my right to write fiction at all. Meanwhile, the kind of fiction we are “allowed” to write is in danger of becoming so hedged, so circumscribed, so tippy-toe, that we’d indeed be better off not writing the anodyne drivel to begin with. At least I am, because drivel is all I do.
xxx/ellauri137.html on line 182: A: Kommunism är slutstadiet i socialism. I kommunism finns ingen stat, ingen egendom, ingen valuta och inga gränser. Detta tillstånd har naturligtvis aldrig existerat. Problemet med kommunismen är att den också kräver en ny apa, som inte heller existerar. Lenin och senare Stalin, Mao och Pol Pot försökte lösa detta problem genom att utrota alla icke önskvärda apor i det socialistiska samhället; bönder, borgare, intellektuella, vetenskapsmän, homosexuella och gamla apor med glasögon bland annat.

L'ensemble du cycle est surtout centré sur les deux fils du riche notable catholique Oscar Thibault, deux frères que tout oppose : Antoine, l'aîné, médecin sûr de lui, esprit rationnel et plutôt conformiste, et son cadet de neuf ans, Jacques, idéaliste et tourmenté, en révolte contre les valeurs de la société bourgeoise puis militant socialiste.

Socialdemokratins ledare åtog sig i gengäld att hålla militanta arbetare ( ex.vis. dåtidens kommunister) vid hornen, medan kapitalet i lugn och ro kunde mjölka arbetande. Den hyllade ”svenska modellen” knäsattes, och länge ansågs den vara framgångsrik, i synnerhet så länge våra och konkurrenter grannländer ännu var krigshärjade, och det ännu fanns socialistländer som hotade systemet.
xxx/ellauri232.html on line 85: Far-right groups have been a consistent presence in the Swedish political underground since the early 1920s, with their high point coming in the municipal elections of 1934, when around eighty council members of Svenska nationalsocialistiska partiet (the Swedish National Socialist Party) were elected across the country. After a long period of mainstream political inactivity in the wake of the Second World War, neo-fascism grew stronger in the 1980s, culminating in the emergence of several new neo-Nazi organisations in the 1990s. The most notable of these groups was Nationalsocialistik Front (the National Socialist Front), who were replaced by the currently active Svenskarnas Parti (the Party of the Swedes) in 2009. The Party of the Swedes’ political program states that “only people who belong to the western genetic and cultural heritage, where ethnic Swedes are included, should be Swedish citizens”, as well as their belief that “all policy decisions should be based on what is best for the interests of the ethnic Swedes”. Far from being prohibited in Sweden, these monsters are sitting now in public offices.
xxx/ellauri232.html on line 112: De flesta fascismteorier har fått sin inspiration från vänster. Fascismen framstod under mellankrigstiden som vänsterns stora fiende. Att fastställa fascismens funktion i det kapitalistiska systemet blev en central uppgift. Fascismen sågs av kommunisterna som ett desperat försök av reaktionära krafter att rädda det kapitalistiska systemet. Fascismen var kapitalismens sista kort och dess nederlag skulle öppna vägen för den socialistiska revolutionen. Fel, fel! kapitalismen hade flera mera kort upp i ärmen, som vi har sett.
xxx/ellauri239.html on line 421: Pour Proudhon, la seule source légitime de la propriété est le travail. Ce que chacun produit est sa propriété et celle de nul autre. Considéré comme un socialiste libertaire, Proudhon refuse la possession capitaliste des moyens de production. De même, il rejette la possession des produits du travail par la société, estimant que « la propriété du produit, quand même elle serait accordée, n'emporte pas la propriété de l'instrument. Le droit au produit est exclusif, jus in re ; le droit à l'instrument est commun, jus ad rem.». Pour Proudhon, seule la propriété coopérative, gérée en autogestion par les producteurs librement associés, permet le développement des individualités: c'est le mutuellisme.
xxx/ellauri255.html on line 94: Rob Attaboy pohjustaa Antony Pyp Pipon haastattelua: The Provisional Government, its effectiveness hampered by a lack of legitimacy, faced a powerful rival in the shape of the socialist-led Petrograd Soviet that ruled the country’s then-capital city (now called St Petersburg). The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin (note only 2 letters away from Vladimir Putin!) , sought to undermine the Provisional Government, which itself made a series of missteps – notably continued failures in the war against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Capitalising on these weaknesses, the Bolsheviks under Lenin and Leon Trotsky launched a coup d’état, the so-called October Revolution, seizing power with relative ease. Consolidating that power proved far more difficult, as a combination of opponents – ranging from former tsarist generals to other leftwing political groups who distrusted the Bolsheviks – took up arms against them.
xxx/ellauri255.html on line 122: There was always going to be tension right from the start, because most of these White officers were anti-Semitic – and there were many Jews in the Socialist Revolutionaries and other socialist parties. White officers also wanted to bring back the punishments used by the tsarist army, which meant that they would be allowed to punch soldiers in the face on a summary charge, whip them using rifle-cleaning rods, things like that. Of course, this created a terrible tension the whole time.

Tuolloin hänet muun muassa valittiin sen keskuskomiteaan. Syyskuussa 1867 ranskalainen professori Émile Acollas kutsui Bakuninin niin ikään Genevessä järjestettyyn kokoukseen, jossa perustettiin Ligue internationale de la paix et de la liberte eli Kansainvälinen rauhan ja vapauden liitto. Acollas’n ja Bakuninin lisäksi mukana olivat muun muassa John Stuart Mill ja Élisée Reclus. Järjestön kannattajiin kuului lisäksi lukuisia tunnettuja hahmoja, kuten Victor Hugo, Giuseppe Garibaldi ja Mont Blanc. Vuotta myöhemmin anarkistit jäivät liitossa bolshevikeixi ja perustivat oman järjestönsä nimeltä L'Alliance internationale de la démocratie socialiste (Kansainvälinen demokraattisten sosialistien liitto). Se yritti liittyä myös ensimmäisen internationaalin jäseneksi, mutta kuinka ollakaan ei huolittu, sillä sääntöjen mukaan siihen hyväksyttiin vain kansallisia työväenjärjestöjä, ei mitään joutilaita kv. pellejä.

He ignored commercial corporations except for those in the U.S.; there he observed “the existence of an aristocracy of millionaires, railway kings, oil kings, cattle kings, etc., is now indisputable.” For Michels, aristocracy was synonymous with oligarchy.
xxx/ellauri295.html on line 688: Thomas Malcolm Muggeridge (24 March 1903 – 14 November 1990) was an English journalist and satirist. His father, H. T. Muggeridge, was a socialist politician and one of the early Labour Party Members of Parliament (for Romford, in Essex). In his twenties, Muggeridge was attracted to communism and went to live in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and the experience turned him into an anti-communist. In the aftermath of the war, he converted to Christianity under the influence of Hugh Kingsmill and helped to bring Mother Teresa to popular attention in the West. He was also a critic of the sexual revolution and of drug use. Muggeridge´s politics changed from an independent socialist point of view to a conservative religious stance. Muggeridge senior pyöri todnäk haudassa kuin hyrrä.
xxx/ellauri303.html on line 132: Pastori Norman Thomas oli jutkukommarien hampaissa. Thomas oli wimpy pasifisti. It was Thomas's position as a conscientious objector that drew him to the Socialist Party of America (SPA), a staunchly antimilitarist organization. When SPA leader Morris Hillquit made his campaign for mayor of New York in 1917 on an antiwar platform, Thomas wrote to him expressing his good wishes. To his surprise, Hillquit wrote back, encouraging the young minister to work for his campaign, which Thomas energetically did. Soon thereafter he himself joined the Socialist Party. Thomas was a Christian socialist. Eihän siitä tullut lasta eikä paskaakaan. De amerikanska kapitalisterna var inte ens kloka nog att kontrollera sina egna organisationer. Amerikansk kapitalism saknade klassmedvetande och vanligt politiskt egenintresse. Nu har dom lärt sin läxa nog. Det är inte socialismen där en individ har värde, utan kapitalismen, där det mäts i dollars.

En adoptant une position socialiste, notamment grâce aux personnages d'Edmée et de Patience, Sand reflète des idées politiques inspirées par son ami Pierre Leroux, l'inventeur du terme socialisme, qui a également été le formateur — ou du moins contributeur — de son esprit politique.
