For quite a while now, I have been thinking about what could constitute a realistic transitory system to reach anarcho-communism, while avoiding the need for the dictatorship/bloody revolution heralded by Marx as the easiest way to implement communism. Recent debates allowed me to develop what I believe to be such a system.

The concept of transcending time is not new. Immortality has been a recurrent dream of mankind since the dawn of times. Faced with recent developments in science and technology, one can but wonder if the idea of we humans vanquishing death in a way or another is truly the childish utopia its detractors have claimed it to be…

The phone and television have become part of cultures worldwide to the point where we barely notice them. The synergy between people and these media is such that when someone states that he/she is using either of them, nobody will take notice of it as being anything out of the most ordinary everyday life.

There comes a time when even the most lethargic person desires meaningful change. This is a guide for such people.

The first tip goes without saying. The camera is more deadly than the gun or blade. If your ideas are anything near desirable, violence will only taint your intentions. As such, violence is only appropriate if all tools that allow you to push for your case (that is to say, peaceful protest) is treated with violence, and even then, modern figures such as Ghandi have shown a better way.

5 July 1996: Dolly, a sheep cloned from an adult somatic cell unknowingly kicks open the doors to the realm of legal chaos.

When Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and their colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Scotland proved that a single cell was capable of reproduce a whole body, they were probably too caught up in the excitement to realize what kind of possible legal mess they were giving birth to. This article does not take sides in the issue of cloning, but it merely aims to point out the inadequacy of the current (where any) laws on the subject.

An insight on the current educational system or why and how it should be radically changed.

Education as it is known in developed countries has been the object of much debate and subsequent changes throughout recent years. Yet, we, the authors of this article, are convinced that it is not close to being a step towards any social improvements. Furthermore, changes to the way education is handled are in our opinion the vector of social change that requires the least resources as its influence on society is very direct.
