We were driving from interstate so arrived a little later than expected. There is plenty of street parking in the generally quiet residential area. We did hear a couple of hoons on the street but it definitely wasn't something we were expecting. She is also very friendly and invited us a number of times to eat and travel with them but alas we had our own plans or had already eaten. Her house is a clean and very large modern home with older yet classy furnishings. Although the room was very spacious even with a queen bed, there was only the bed, an awkward corner table and a wardrobe. I would suggest you bring a powerboard if you have various devices that need power. The room itself got very hot during our stay, mind you these were over some of the hottest days on record for Sydney with temps reaching up to 39 degrees. She did provide a fan for the majority and some AC but the bed itself was also quite hot and not the most comfortable, not to bad if you're doing a short stay but after 3 days, things start to get a little tight. All in all she was a great host and was very accommodating and would be more than happy to stay with her again(URL HIDDEN)Clem2016-12-31T00:00:00ZJosie is a great host. She is polite, friendly and very helpful. Her spacious home I Stabhope Gardens is a great place to stay. It is close to public transport, and you can easily get around the city.

Offered me a lovely breakfast and good conversation. The room was a little hot and the road is quite loud if you are a light sleeper which I am not but it is very spacious and clean and comfy bed.Wendy2017-01-01T00:00:00Zclean room, Josie is friendly and helpfulHong2017-01-07T00:00:00ZHosts were very lovely. As others have said, the room faces the road and can be a bit noisy at times if you're not used to hearing light traffic at night. There isn't much to the room, just a bed and a desk. The bed was different than the one in the photo. Lara2017-03-12T00:00:00ZJosie was nice and helpful. The house is big and clean. And the price is reasonable.

Margaret is a charming person, who genuinely enjoys hosting guests in the completely self-contained apartment. She was very welcoming, friendly and assisted with our extra requests. She even went to the trouble of leaving me gluten free muffins for me! I would not hesitate to recommend staying here, or returning. It's a much, much better option than the hotels or apartment hotels in the area. Suzsanna2013-08-17T00:00:00ZMy girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 weeks over Christmas and New Year 2013-14 and had a fantastic time. The apartment and community pool were exactly as described and had plenty of space for the two of us. We had a car so it was easy to drive to and from Sydney however it seemed easy by public transport too. Margaret and Peter were great hosts - if we had any issues or questions they were extremely quick to respond and always happy to help. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for having us :)Niall2014-01-12T00:00:00ZFrom the moment I arrived I felt as if I'd known Peter and Margaret for ages. They made me feel at home straight away. They are exceptional hosts. Margaret and Peter are thoughtful, happy, caring people who generously took the time to give me all the tips I needed to know about living in the area. The apartment is fantastic, it has been tastefully decorated, modern and peaceful. I slept comfortably every night for the month I was there and felt completely safe. I will be recommending Margaret and Peter's place to good friends and family. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I needed accommodation in Sydney. Thank you again Margaret and Peter, I'll always look back on my visit with fond memories. All the best. Rebecca.Rebecca2012-11-07T00:00:00ZWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be going back on further visits if it is available.

The "room" was more like a cupboard. There is no way to store food in the house because the kitchen is filled with the occupants things. It is difficult to use the kitchen if at all because the occupant is in close proximity or using everything in the kitchen. The living space is so tiny that there is no where to relax while the occupant is there which is always. The occupant has no concerns about invading your personal space or going into your room "(cupboard)" and getting amongst your things. The occupant was pre-told about the living arrangements needed and agreed but wasn't able to keep to her word. I left after thee days of my paid for ten day stay and received none of the money back in return. Not a pleasing outcome.

Since funds-particularly cash-is one of the major considerations of many people, a wide array of monetary administration providers and financial options emerged. Some of the visible among the never-ending line of financial management services there are is the credit score card.
Although many people testify for the monetary comfort you get if you apply for a bank card, it doesn’t imply that every financing convenience applies for you or for everybody in that matter.
When people apply for a credit card, there is all the time a reason. It can be for managing their finances, needing extra money or in preparation to a giant expenditure. But, no matter what the reason is, folks apply for a bank card because of the final word comfort it brings. By now, you'll have had your share of ‘pre-authorized’ bank card affords in your virtual and bodily mail. Since persons are quite weak once they apply for a bank card, some credit card issuers lure these individuals by giving low introductory APR, no annual price gives amongst numerous perks.

Should you’re not that sort of one who is patient sufficient to research on all these phrases, be sure that before you apply for a bank card, th e issuer will give an evidence how the balance is computed and it should appear on your monthly billing statements.
Influenza season could be worst in years
AUSTRALIA is facing its worst influenza season in years, as specialists warn that even young, fit adults could be affected.
This year, 3084 cases of influenza have been reported to health authorities -- compared with 1213 cases for the entire 2006. Queensland has been hardest hit, with 1414 cases this year, compared with 518 in NSW, 498 in Western Australia and 220 in Victoria.
Ian Barr, deputy director of the World Health Organisation Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza in Melbourne, said this year's flu season was the most serious since 2003 and 1997.
Six people -- five children and a 37-year-old man -- have died of influenza this year. A report in The Daily Telegraph today reveals that influenza played a role in the death of 30-year-old heart transplant recipient Joseph David, from Sydney.
"It's certainly bigger this year than it has been in the last couple of years," Dr Barr said. "The last serious flu season was in 2003. We had very mild seasons in 2004, 2005 and 2006."
Experts are at a loss to explain why the outbreak is spreading so rapidly. "We've definitely seen a higher rate of cases in Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Perth than in the past few years," said Canberra Hospital director of infectious diseases and microbiology Peter Collignon. "But it's not clear why. It's puzzling because there hasn't been a great change in the virus."
Dr Barr said people's immunity might have fallen in recent years. "We often see a serious season following after a few mild seasons in a row," he said. "That may be due to a lack of circulation of strains, and a lack of exposure to people with influenza for a few years. Their immunity wanes and then they come down with it. People think it only affects the young, sick and elderly, but ... everyone is susceptible."
Three children in Western Australia, one in Queensland and one in Victoria have died from influenza in the past five weeks.
On Thursday, Queenslander Glen Kindness -- a healthy 37-year-old -- died after developing flu-like symptoms.
"About 20 per cent of the population gets vaccinated," Dr Barr said. "I think we'd all like to see that rate higher."
Experts have long warned there is no way to vaccinate people against a new strain of influenza until that strain evolves. However, yesterday, researchers revealed they might have come up with a way to vaccinate people before an influenza pandemic.
The World Health Organisation has confirmed that 319 people have contracted H5N1 avian flu virus from contact with infected chickens, ducks and other fowl, and 192 of them have died. Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Maryland claim they have discovered a way to anticipate how H5N1 may jump to humans and ways to respond to it.
They found a mutation that causes one strain of the H1N1 virus to infect birds, while another strain prefers humans. The team made the same alteration in an H5N1 virus, and vaccinated mice with this genetically engineered H5N1 DNA. They found an antibody that could neutralise both types of H5N1.
"It delivers a powerful blow against this virus and really hits it where it lives," said institute director and lead author Gary Nabel. If a vaccine could be developed to protect people against viruses with this mutation, it could be used before a pandemic even started, Dr Nabel said.

Flu Season - Influenza
Influenza-like illness (ILI) is defined as a temperature of > 100.0?F (> 37.8?C) and either cough or sore throat in the absence of a known cause. Levels of influenza activity are 1) no activity, 2) sporadic-small numbers of laboratory-confirmed influenza cases or a single influenza outbreak reported but no increase in cases of ILI, 3) local-outbreaks of influenza or increases in ILI cases and recent laboratory-confirmed influenza in a single region of a state, 4) regional-outbreaks of influenza or increases in ILI cases and recent laboratory-confirmed influenza in at least two but less than half the regions of a state, and 5) widespread-outbreaks of influenza or increases in ILI cases and recent laboratory-confirmed influenza in at least half the regions of a state.

Influenza Vaccination Season Begins
The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) is gearing up for the 2007-2008 influenza season by making special efforts to reach out to high-risk patients as well as children in need of a second dose of influenza vaccine. Vaccine manufacturers expect shipments to be made on-time this year and MDCH is urging providers, local health departments, and community vaccinators to begin vaccinating patients.
"As the 2007-2008 flu season approaches, we encourage all of Michigan's residents to be vaccinated against the flu," said Janet Olszewski, MDCH Director. "Ask your doctor if you are at high-risk for influenza-related complications and be sure to get vaccinated. If you are a new parent, a health care professional, and/or have contact with people age 65 and older, protect those high-risk individuals by getting vaccinated."
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year in the United States, an average of 5 percent to 20 percent of the population gets the flu, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and about 36,000 people die from flu. More than 90 percent of those deaths are among persons age 65 or older. Even though last year's flu season was mild, 68 deaths among children were reported to CDC.
"The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each year," said Dr. Greg Holzman, State Chief Medical Executive. "Contrary to popular myth, the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. There are two types of flu vaccinations available: the "flu shot" and the nasal-spray flu vaccine; both are effective in preventing the flu."
Studies show people with flu can infect others up to 1 day before they start having symptoms and, once sick, they can infect others for up to 5 days. About half of all people with influenza infections do not have any symptoms; these people can infect others without knowing they are sick.
Influenza activity most often occurs in January or later, therefore it is important to know that if you do not get vaccinated in October or November, you can still get get vaccinated in December or later. Though it varies, flu season can last until May. For information on receiving the flu vaccine, please contact your doctor's office or your local health department.
Labels: Begins, Flu Season, Influenza, Vaccination
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although October and November are the recommended months for vaccination, a flu vaccine given later in the season -- December through March -- still can help protect from influenza.
This year, flu vaccine manufacturers plan to have more then 130 million doses of influenza vaccine available for distribution in the United States, more than ever before.
The two vaccines available to the public are:
The traditional injectable flu vaccine, which contains inactivated (killed) virus, is for anyone age 6 months and older. Some patients experience soreness at the injection site lasting less than two days, but serious side effects are extremely rare. This vaccine may come in a multiple-dose vial or in single-dose syringes. Syringes for children 3 and younger are thimerosal-free.
A live weakened virus vaccine called LAIV or "FluMist" is sprayed into the nose and is for healthy people ages 2 through 49. A small amount of vaccine is sprayed into each nostril, instead of getting an injection.

Flu Season, When Does It Start?
Flu season starts to peak in November and continues to peak through April. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend getting your 2004 flu vaccine in the months of October and November in order to prevent an outbreak to the flu virus. Every flu season a new batch of the flu vaccine is made. Scientists consider what strains of the virus are going to be a threat that flu season and develop the vaccine accordingly. There are usually 3 deactivated or killed stains of the flu virus in the vaccine each new flu season.
This flu season, due to the vaccination shortages, the CDC is recommending that specific priority groups get their vaccinations first, and then the non-priority group forgoes their vaccination all together this 2004-2005 flu season. The priority group is as follows:
Children between ages 6-23 months
Adults aged 65+
Individuals with chronic conditions aged 2-64
All women who will be pregnant during the 2004-2005 flu season
Residents of nursing homes/long term facilities
Children between 6 months to 18 years of age on chronic aspirin therapy
Health care workers that work in direct patient care
Household contacts/out-side caregivers of children under 6 months of age
People who have severe allergies to chicken eggs or those who have Guillain-Barre syndrome (obtained after a flu vaccine) should not receive get a 2004-2005 flu vaccine.
The best tip for flu prevention for those unable to get a flu vaccination or for those in the priority group to further protect them selves this flu season is to maintain a healthy immune system.

Two types of flu vaccine
The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each fall.
The "flu shot"— an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. For more, please read the Flu Vaccine article.
The nasal-spray flu vaccine — a vaccine made with live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu (sometimes called LAIV for “Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine”). LAIV is approved for use in healthy people 5 years to 49 years of age who are not pregnant. Each vaccine contains three influenza viruses—one A (H3N2) virus, one A (H1N1) virus, and one B virus. The viruses in the vaccine change each year based on international surveillance and scientists' estimations about which types and strains of viruses will circulate in a given year. For more, please read the Influenza Nasal Vaccine (FluMist) article.

The development of the locomotive was initiated in anticipation of a major tender for universal locomotives by German railways, but moved towards a modular design when the railways moved towards tendering different types of locomotives for different services. The 12X was the basis of a locomotive class for medium-weight freight trains, the DBAG Class 145, the further development of which ultimately led to Bombardier's TRAXX modular locomotive product platform.

DB Class 121 development[edit]
DB Class 120 was the first locomotive class of West German federal railway Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) with three-phase asynchronous AC induction motors, and also the first implementation of the concept of the universal locomotive, which is suited for freight, passenger and express service alike.[8] DB received the five prototypes from 1979, and all Germany-based locomotive manufacturers were involved in the delivery of the 60 series locomotives from 1987.[8] In 1991,[9] DB requested bids for an initial 500 universal locomotives with an improved design and a continuous power increased from 5.6 to 6.4 MW (7,500 to 8,600 hp),[10] the planned DB Class 121.[11] Former East German state railways Deutsche Reichsbahn also considered purchasing 200 units.[11]
The competitors for the DB Class 121 order developed components and from December 1991, tested them in the prototypes of the DB Class 120, which were reclassified as the experimental Class 752.[8] AEG Westinghouse, a supplier of electrical components for rail vehicles that was part of Daimler-Benz at the time, began developing a new final drive concept, a water-cooled converter based on GTO thyristors, an auxiliary converter, and a microprocessor-based traction control system.[5] In 1992, AEG took over former East German locomotive manufacturer LEW Hennigsdorf and made it a subsidiary under its AEG Bahnsysteme (AEG Rail Systems) business area as AEG Schienenfahrzeuge GmbH (AEG Rail Vehicles Ltd). LEW was already developing lightweight vehicle body construction, better aerodynamics, and high-speed running gear.[5] AEG bundled and continued these development efforts with the aim to produce a complete locomotive.[5] The newly developed GTO thyristor based converter was built into DBAG 752 002 in late 1992[12] and started testing in January next year,[10] the prototype of the new AEG final drive was built into series locomotive DB 120 118 and also began testing in 1993.[6]
Project 12x[edit]
In the meantime, in October 1992, DB cancelled the Class 121 tender[8] due to the high price of the offers,[9] which made government approval for the investment unlikely,[11] and the changed organisational and operational situation.[9] The upcoming merger of Deutsche Bundesbahn and Deutsche Reichsbahn into Deutsche Bahn in 1994 coincided with a railway reform,[13] dividing the rolling stock of Deutsche Bahn between its regional passenger, long-distance passenger and freight business areas, making the universal locomotive plans obsolete.[8] The freight branch of DB was concerned in particular that express trains would be given priority in the use of shared universal locomotives.[13] From late 1993, the business areas of Deutsche Bahn and their predecessors called new bids for electric locomotives tailored for their specific needs.[9][14]
Locomotive manufacturers responded to the changed situation by focusing on the modularity of their designs, allowing the derivation of different types of locomotives by removing or rearranging the components of a universal locomotive.[7][15] After the cancellation of the DB Class 121 order, AEG continued its development effort under the informal project name "12x", and decided to produce a prototype on its own.[15] The decision was also motivated by further elements of the 1994 railway reform, which led to rail operators issuing tenders for complete vehicles rather than let manufacturers compete at the level of components, and the creation of an independent authority for vehicle approval.[5] AEG spent 40 million Deutsche Mark (DM) on the 12x development programme, the construction of the locomotive itself cost another 8 million DM.[16] AEG painted the experimental universal locomotive in the red and white company colours, named it 12X (with capital X), and held its rollout ceremony on 30 June 1994.[16] Although owned by AEG, the 12X was designated 128 001 by DB.[16]
Commissioning, reconstruction, test and lease operation[edit]
In September and October 1995, the 12X was tested on DB's rolling rig in Munich at simulated speeds of up to 330 km/h (205 mph).[3] Following hauled trials and trials at standstill, the locomotive made its first run with own power at 140 km/h (87 mph) on 10 April 1995.[3] By that time, AEG received an order for a lower-speed commercial derivative, the DBAG Class 145.[3] For a test of components to be used in the Class 145 under service conditions, the 12X first completed trials for a preliminary commissioning for 160 km/h (99 mph),[3] and pulled its first regular InterCity train on 22 August 1995, on lease Deutsche Bahn.[3][17]
In January 1996, ABB and Daimler-Benz merged their railway business areas into a joint venture, ADtranz.[18] On 31 January 1996, Adtranz presented 128 001 in a new, modified livery at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, with an advertisement for UNICEF and the logos of Adtranz and model train manufacturer Märklin, which sponsored the advertisement for a year.[19] The locomotive continued its commissioning trials at speeds of up to 280 km/h (174 mph) in February,[19] later achieving 283 km/h (176 mph), and received its approval for 220 km/h (137 mph) in the summer of 1996.[20]
Adtranz used the 12X as test bed for even more advanced power electronics. In late 1997, the locomotive received new IGBT based converters, which were the first application of this technology in locomotives around the world.[4][21] In early 1998, the traction control electronics was also replaced.[4] The locomotive also received its final livery, with rainbow-coloured wave patterns on the sidewalls.[22] After extensive trials and trial operation in BLS service on the Lötschberg Line in Switzerland, the locomotive returned to Hennigsdorf.[22] In the following years, the locomotive alternated between test runs to test onboard systems,[23] test locomotive service in the commissioning of new Adtranz models,[24] and regular freight service on lease to DB's freight branch[25] and BASF.[26]
In May 2001, Bombardier Transportation acquired Adtranz.[27] Bombardier continued to use the 12X as test locomotive, stationed at its facility in Oerlikon (Zurich), Switzerland.[1] In July 2010, the locomotive returned to the Hennigsdorf plant.[1]
The 12X design maintained the basic configuration of the Class 120: two bogies with two axles each, each axle powered by three-phase asynchronous motors, forced-air cooling of motors with cooling exhausts on the inclined roof edges, airtight machine room with closed walls and a central alley.[2]
The main transformer is installed underfloor between the two bogies.[2] It has six secondary windings for the traction circuits,[7] one to supply the on-board auxiliary units and charge the batteries, and one more for the electric train supply.[5] The auxiliary windings connect to two 120 kVA auxiliary converters.[5]
The two traction converters, one per bogie, are directly above the transformer, on both sides of the central alley, to keep power cables as short as possible and for a symmetric weight distribution.[5] The original converters were built from modules that include two water-cooled GTO thyristors each, which can be regulated, and thus allow the construction of control circuits with much fewer components than those built with normal thyristors.[2] Three of the modules in each converter functioned as four-quadrant converters between one winding of the transformer each and a direct current (DC) intermediate circuit,[2][7] two more modules functioned as inverters, providing three-phase variable voltage variable frequency supply to the two motors of a bogie, making individual axle control possible.[2] A version of the module for use as DC chopper under DC catenary supply was also foreseen.[2] For traction and power control, the locomotive was equipped with the GEATRAC II system, which consists of 32-bit microprocessors, allowing for hardware-independent software and updates.[5] Following the upgrade of the locomotive by Adtranz, the GTO thyristor based converters were replaced by IGBT based converters which were suited for multi-voltage operation, and the control technology changed to Adtranz's then current MITRAC system.[4]
Mechanical part[edit]
The 12X was equipped with newly developed GEALAIF final drives,[7] where GEA refers to AEG, and LAIF stands for Lokomotiv-Antrieb mit integriertem Fahrmotor (locomotive final drive with integrated traction motor).[6] The motor axle is connected to the pinion axle of the final drive by a diaphragm coupling that is rotationally and radially rigid but bends softly.[2][6] The main innovation of the GEAALAIF concept is that the pinion axle is supported by bearings on both sides rather than just on the engine side.[6] This solution reduces bending moments on both the pinion axle and the connected motor axle, thus allowing for the size and mass reduction of both.[6] The integration of final drive and motor also included the reversion of the flow of the forced-air cooling, with the cold air passing down on the final drive side of the engine to cool the pinion, too.[6] The final drive drives the wheelset by way of a Cardan shaft, forming a hollow shaft drive.[6]
The bogie wheelbase is 2,600 mm (102.4 in), shorter than in similar locomotives, with the aim to reduce forces and wear in curves.[5] Prior to tests, Deutsche Bahn's engineers were sceptical about the design, in light of problems with another short bogie,[28] an ABB Flexifloat prototype with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm (104.3 in) that was built into 752 004.[29] However, rolling rig tests[3] and line tests showed stable running.[19] The primary suspension uses metal coil springs, the secondary suspension uses Flexicoil suspension.[5] Traction forces are transmitted between bogie and vehicle body by way of inclined drawbars.[5]
The locomotive body is a lightweight construction, which was intended to make the 12X the lightest locomotive in its power class at 84 t (93 short tons).[2] The actual mass of the finished locomotive was 85.9 t (94.7 short tons) in working order.[3] The structure-bearing parts of the locomotive body are the underframe and the machine room sidewalls, and are made of steel.[5] The roofs, drivers' cabins and the shroud below the underframe covering the transformer are made of plastics and composites, which were glued to the steel frame.[5] The inclined roof edge transitions into the inclined ends of the side walls, which protrude beyond the fronts, forming windflaps designed to increase stability during tunnel crossings, train meetings and station passages.[5]
Environmental sustainability was one of the principles of the 12X development.[2] The cooling medium of the Voith-supplied[7] cooling system of the power electronics uses tap water with glycol as anti-freeze, rather than oil or oil substitutes.[2] For the external painting of the locomotive, water-soluble paints were used instead of two-component paints with a high proportion of organic solvents.[5] Deviating from previous systems, for the air conditioning, a cooling medium without chlorine was chosen.[5]
The components of the 12X were developed as modules that can be removed, replaced or reconfigured in series versions.[2][7] AEG envisioned four basic vehicle configurations on the basis of the components of the 12X: a high-performance locomotive for express service in the original 12X configuration, a powerhead with driver's cab only at one end for high-speed electric multiple units (EMUs), a light locomotive for regional traffic, and a heavy-haul twin locomotive with driver's cab at one end of both halves.[5][7] AEG also considered the use of 12X components in an EMU with the power electronics placed underfloor, and the enhancement of the converters for multiple voltage systems.[2] The modularity was also intended to allow for the replacement of components with more modern components as technology advances over the lifespan of the vehicle.[5]
Derived types[edit]

In November 1994, Deutsche Bahn chose AEG to supply DB's freight business area DB Cargo (today DB Schenker Rail) with eighty locomotives for medium-weight freight trains, the DBAG Class 145.[3] The original Class 145 design was a cheaper derivative of the 12X, leaving away components for higher speeds, including hollow-shaft drives, which were replaced by simpler axle hung drives.[30] After the merger of AEG Bahnsysteme and ABB Transportation into Adtranz, the final design of the locomotive was adapted for more commonalities with the DBAG Class 101, an express locomotive originally ordered from ABB at the same time.[30] In particular, the less advanced ester cooled inverters with GTO thyristors and the also ester cooled main transformer of the DBAG Class 145 was derived from those of the DBAG Class 101, and the bogie design was modified to fit into ABB's Flexicoil family, with wheelbase increased to 2,650 mm (104.3 in).[30]
Later on, the Class 145 was a main basis for Adtranz's planned modular electric locomotive platform, announced in March 1998.[31][32] Locomotive types derived from the DBAG Class 145 included a two voltage system version for international traffic, the DBAG Class 185, ordered in July 1998.[33] After Bombardier Transportation bought Adtranz in 2001, it fully implemented the modular locomotive platform idea on the basis of the DBAG Class 185,[34] and named it TRAXX in 2003.[35]

Tachyphrenia: Marx's Skeleton
In my last post I mentioned how the Communism deformed politics and discussions of religion. I'd like to expand on that here.
There is not and never has been such a thing as a Communist system. Marxist ethics are derived from Christianity, which came to him through his father's own conversion, Christian influences in Hegel, and from other young Hegelians, most notably Feuerbach. The slogan "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is almost a paraphrase of the arrangement under which the apostles lived in Acts 2:44, 45. Charity lies at the root of Marx's critique of Capitalism. But Marx never actually proposed any means to bring people to embrace charity as a way of life. He simply criticised the existing system, called for its abolishment, and hoped that something better would replace it. In this sense, Communism is a true castle in the sky: beautiful, noble, desirable, but with no road to reach it. It was a pipe dream. Marx had no stomach for the real struggle, which takes place in the individual human soul, without which all other struggles are doomed to failure.
Enter Dostoyevsky's 'Demons', the Nihilists and revolutionaries, and their successors, the Bolsheviks. They too, wanted to destroy the system, but with no idea of what to replace it with. For the Nihilists, destruction itself was the goal. But underlying this goal was the desire to invoke chaos and, out of the ashes of the world, create a new order--with the revolutionaries as the masters of this new order. The goal was not improvement, but power. Still, no one is going to give you power just because you ask for it. In order to gain support and thereby claim power, you must do so, or at least appear to do so, in the name of a higher principle. Religion in Russia was already controlled by the Russian Orthodox Church, so a new religion was needed. Communism was a perfect fit--it stole all the moral thunder of the church, while undermining its authority. It too called for the destruction of the current order, but left the field clear afterwards. There was no plan. The plan could therefore be provided by the Bolsheviks themselves, tailored to suit their ambitions.
Some of the Bolsheviks were probably idealists, but the idealists lost. Stalin, murderer of the Czar, became the new Czar in all but name. A former seminary student, Stalin was well versed in how to cloak raw ambition and ruthless dictatorship in the guise of benevolent moral language. Stalin's body counts exceeded those of Hitler. In the name of prosperity and plenty he devastated the economy, making the rich poorer without making the poor richer. He took the Ukraine, the bread basket of Eastern Europe, and imposed draconian collective farming methods which turned surplus into drastic shortages, causing a famine which killed 30 million people. In the name of charity he robbed everyone blind, while he and his cadre of party bosses lived in luxury. While he spoke of brotherhood, and everyone called each other comrade, he instigated a system of denunciation that set all against all, till neighbours and family members denounced each other to the Gulag or firing squad for minor personal gain. Behind the window dressing of Communist ideology, he ruled with a despotic power that Ivan the Terrible would have envied. Communism itself was but a mirage to hide this.
And yet, everyone fell for it, friend and foe. Leftists in Europe continued to defend Stalin and his thugs, but worse, his enemies fell for the bait. Stalin and his successors waved the red flag like a bullfighter's cape, and the Anti-Communists, like Senator Joe McCarthy, were all bull. They bought the Stalinist message, hook, party line, and sinker. Thus distracted, they moved towards building their own Stalinist state, beginning with denunciations and the castration of popular culture. The real enemy was Stalinism, and there was no more fervent Stalinist in America than McCarthy himself. But what continues to haunt us is that the Anti-Communists allowed the Communists to define the terms of the argument. If the despotic Stalinists were socialists, then freedom meant capitalism. If Communism was spreading by the creation of puppet dictatorships, then the solution was puppet dictatorships friendly to capitalism. Democracy became a mere invocation, sacred, but inconvenient in practice. The Americans were even seduced by the pseudo-scientific fantasies of the Stalinists, drunk on vodka and power and lies. The pursued their own mind control programs (MK Ultra), attempted to establish bizarre occult operations involving astral projection and remote viewing, telepathy and telekinesis. All of it was nonsense, but these illustrate how completely the Stalinists had duped their enemies.
Yet in misunderstanding their enemy, the Anti-Communists also forgot themselves and their own strengths. Capitalism works because it can provide the broadest level of cooperation of any system. Stalinism, contrary to the Communist propaganda, created a society of total competition. In Capitalism, competition governs only rare and distant social relationships--between those of competing companies. The tightest and most common relationships, between co-workers, between employee and employer, and between business and clients, must be cooperative in order for the business to succeed. Efficiency is increased by eliminating competition as much as possible. A football game may be entertaining to watch, but if your society's goal is to move the ball, you want all the teams running the same way. Competition between businesses serves this by discouraging cooperation within cartels which benefit a small portion of society at the expense of greater number. This ensures that individual businesses must work with the customer, rather than acting as a group against them. Since the business-client relationship is far more common, this establishes broader cooperation within the society. Capitalism, however, must be managed and corrected continously by government. And Democracy is a means of enforcing cooperation between the government and the governed.
This understanding of Capitalism and Democracy was one of the first casualties of the cold war, and the loss of it continues to haunt us today. As a result of the Stalinist myth of Communism, unregulated capitalism has come to be seen as a pure good. In fact, the very right of property only exists through government enforcement, and bad policy can permit Capitalism to deteriorate through greed, exploitation, and massive disparity. The very survival of Capitalism requires that businesses have markets for their goods, which can only happen if the working and middle classes have a disposable income. Otherwise the economic system deteriorates into a giant casino, with the very rich placing bets on properties, stocks, and securities, while the poor go unemployed. The most successful businesses are also those that give their employees a major stake in the success of the business. Exploitation is not just immoral, it is bad management. It is also essential that the rich, who derive the greatest benefit from citizenship and the powers of government through law enforcement, utilities, courts, and regulations, pay a proportionally greater share for its upkeep. This is simply fair market value for services received.
Most of all, we must take Marx's skeleton out of the closet and bury it. The values of charity, cooperation, equality, and rationality were never the property of the Communists. They were appropriated by liars and thieves, but they have always belonged to our entire civilization. It is time to stop chasing shadows and reclaim them.
