A few links from today’s wanderings:

“Marx and Engels as David and Jonathan?” by Roland Boer

Roland is posting from the FUTURE (1 March 2011), a.k.a Australia. If you haven’t checked out Stalin’s Mustache yet, you probably should. Roland Boer is a phenomenally engaging writer on Marxism, religion, and theology. In this post he shows a warmer side of Lenin, speaking of Engels and Marx’s loving relationship.

“Anal Sex in Accordance with God’s Will” by Sex in Christ

Hilarious. Case in point: “[Question:] “Isn’t anal sex dirty?”  The Bible says, “To the pure, all things are pure.” (Titus 1:15) The Lord created your body, and no part of it is imperfect or unclean. God also created our bodies for pleasure, and anal sex is just one of the many ways, including standard sexual intercourse, that we can enjoy this pleasure and share it with a partner.”

“Women’s Stories, Movies, and the Oscars” by Anita Sarkeesian at Feminist Frequency

“Nobody earns the right to hoard. Plan the economy!” by Aaron PK at A Better World is Probable

Indeed! Let’s plan the economy!: “Bill Gates could send over 1,766,600 students to college for four years and still have over a billion dollars for himself.  A billion dollars, which no average person could reasonably spend in their lifetime.  It would take an average US income earner saving every penny they made over 21,700 years to save up a billion dollars.  That means it would take that person over 1,173,900 years to save up as much as Bill Gates is worth.  That’s just a little less than three times as long as the history of human existence!“

“Modern capitalism’s boring architecture” by Aaron PK at A Better World is Probable

Aaron PK with another brilliant post, this time on the type of architecture and aesthetics that capitalism promotes, and the type it lets rot:

“In the Steps of Rosa Luxemburg: Selected Writings of Paul Levi” by Paul Levi, edited and introduced by David Fernbach, from the Historical Materialism Book Series

Expected June 2011!
