The Negation of Individual Identity by the left

Marx on the Jewish question written in 1842 and published in 1843, criticizes his fellow Hegelian, Bauer, who propose if only the Jewish will leave their Jewish Conscience they could achieve political parity, Marx respond, the Religion was more than the state, he give example in US, which there is not an official religion, like Prussia, still more religious (which still truth today).  

For Bauer has stated that the renouncing of religion would be especially difficult for Jews, because Judaism consider by him as a primitive stage in the development of Christianity., Marx argues that the Jewish religion does not need to be attached to the significance it has in Bauer's analysis, because it is only a spiritual reflection of Jewish economic life.

For Marx defined the Jewish Question as pre-capitalism, Marx stereotype of the Jew as a financially apt huckster and posits a special connection between Judaism as a religion and the economy of contemporary bourgeois society. Thus, the Jewish religion does not need to disappear in society, as Bauer argues, because it is actually a natural part of it. Marx figuratively equated practical Judaism with huckstering and money, Marx concludes, that the Christians have become Jews; and, ultimately, it is mankind that needs to emancipate itself from practical Judaism, is not doubt about Marx Antisemitism (this tradiont is carry in all the Socialist, labour and communist party in Europe), but profound intellectual schisms, will reappear later on between Post-Modernism specially Derrida and Marxist, New Left and neo-Marxism.

But as political project in the left took root with Lenin (While Bakunin openly was Antisemitism, his Antisemitism was lashing against Marx machinations of the Expulsion of the Libertarian Left from the first international), while the left way of though as Lenin dealing with the Jewish Question, from the outset of Lenin's activities, the Jewish *Bund, whose representatives took part in Russian Social Democratic congresses, was a factor to be dealt with in his tactics as head of the Bolshevik faction, as the Bund increasingly threw its weight to the Mensheviks and sometimes swung the balance against Lenin.

Lenin attacked with vigour than others, the anti-Jewish policy of the Czarist regime. On his initiative the Bolshevist faction in the 4th state Duma (1912–1917) proposed a law to annul all restrictive measures against Jews, including education, state service, the Pale of Settlement in part, and others.

Lenin viewed the assimilation of the Jews and their complete disappearance into the surrounding culture and society as an inevitable and even desirable result of human advancement. He believed that Jewish separateness, even in the modern and secularist image of the Bund and Socialist Zionism, was a remnant of the precapitalist era and had begun to disappear quickly in Western capitalist countries such as Germany, France, and England.

Lenin viewed the separate cultural and social existence of the Jews of Russia as a corollary of the anti-Jewish discrimination and persecution and as a symptom of the backwardness of Russia, in which medieval divisions had not yet crumbled. He therefore denounced not only all manifestations of antisemitism, but also all forms of Jewish nationalism and separatism as reactionary phenomena that deflect the Jewish workers away from revolutionary solidarity with their non-Jewish comrades and from the struggle for the future revolution to overthrow all class barriers and finally solve the Jewish problem.

Lenin expounded his views on the Jewish question and on the national question in general in: The Position of the Bund in the Party (1903: Collected Works, (19614), 92–103), Theses on the National Question (1913; ibid., 19 (19634), 243–51), Cultural-National Autonomy (1913; ibid., 503–7), Critical Remarks on the National Question (1913; ibid., 20 (19644), 17–51). During the Civil War he refused to confiscate the Gorkis' pamphlet: On the Jews, despite warnings that it would become an anti-Bolshevist tool in the hands of the counterrevolutionaries.

After the Revolution, when Lenin took power in Russia (end of 1917), he endorsed the establishment of special departments for Jewish affairs in both the ruling Communist Party (the Yevsektsiya) and the Commissariat of Nationalities, headed by Joseph Stalin.

Lenin or Stalin at first did not object to the recognition of Yiddish as the national language of the Jews, since the masses of Jews – especially in the former Pale of Settlement – were a large ethnic bloc, with its own culture and language that should be addressed through means – especially linguistic – understood by it.

Together with his acquiescence in the de facto recognition of a Jewish nationality in Soviet Russia, Lenin campaigned vigorously, both orally and in writing, against antisemitism and incitement to pogroms by the anti-Soviet right-wing forces (the White Army, the Ukrainian nationalists, peasant anarchists, etc.) and initiated, soon after the Revolution, the decree outlawing pogroms and their instigators (July 1918).

Thus not only did Lenin abide by one of his ideological principles, he also faced and fought the most demagogic challenge of the counterrevolutionary forces that rose agains this regime

Lenin took note of the higher percent of Jews in the revolutionary movement than their proportion in the population, and he initiated the promotion of Jews to higher positions in the State and party apparatus.

Lenin did not oppose the persecution of Zionists and suppression of the Hebrew language and the Jewish religion by the Soviet authorities, although in his time many arrested Zionists and rabbis were eventually allowed to leave Russia and go to Palestine. The assassination attempt on behalf of the Social Revolutionaries (1918), carried out against him by a Jewish woman, Fanya Kaplan, did not change his approach to the Jews at all.

Lenin attempted to oppose the Russian great power chauvinism of the Soviet regime, which intervened, to the excessive cruelty in the lives of other nationalities in the country (such as the Georgians) and thus violated his principles on the national question.

In the 1930, in Nazi Germany as described by John Weiss in Ideology of Death: Why the Holocaust Happened in Germany and Richard J. Evans   the Third Reich in Power, where, the National Socialism view of communism as their twins, where for the communist their adoration of party discipline, and for National Socialist discipline base on race, for the communist class, but for both, for the National Socialist, the only race and ethnic group was Germany, and for the communist the utopia a new technocratic class defined by the elite, the communist legitimize as only the righteous of working class, only their suffering was  righteous.

After, the failure of the communist utopia in the Soviet Union and Russia was reduce itself to a Kleptocracy society, with an economy based on a single commodity oil, or China, where communist party transform itself to state capitalism, while, the criticism of inequality of the capitalist society is valid, but their analysis were wrong and the solution failed, the only, story line left was to attack individualism especially since their ideals was based on a collectivism, and a homogenous society, this utopia, the individual does not exist, there is not room for outsider, as Marx, Lenin of Hitler defined the Jewish outsiders.

The hate of  the Authoritarian left (today are Socialist Democrats in Europe, the Left Parties ) toward the Jews or individual—took a new life in 1990s against postmodernism, while Derrida in 1963, in the miracle year wrote 3 books, which become base of postmodernism especially, the concept of Deconstruction and Difference. In of Grammatology, describing in the text mention Rabbi Elizer (the son of Simon ben Jochai- Rabbi Elizer a mystic in his own right), where Jewish though of the interpretation of the law as multi-layer of interpretations—the left consider as relativism, where Marxist theory based on absolute certainty, while Marxist though created a rhetoric defined itself is a science, where, their assumptions or predictions are not less pseudo-science, not only economics of Marxism, but as also Economics, but justify their policies as a science, what at best can be consider liberal arts.

Derrida deal with identity issues, while early year was not known, but in his essay about Tallit (Jewish Prayer shawl) and in 2000, a book dealing the fact he never carry a circumcision for his son, this individual issue for the left consider as relativism. The left base on social cohesion where the individual stop to exist, for them any individual cannot coexist, nationalism is acceptable because is about a cohesion.

The Ethno racist police instituted in Rwanda between Hutu and Tutsi instate by Imperial Germany, had consequence in genocidal massacres 1994, as mention by Evans, 2015, The third Reich in History And Memory in the section Blueprint for Genocide p 6-15. While, it’s not surprise, since historically the used genocide from Europe specially—German speaking region the Genocide massacre of the Jewish communities in the Rhine during the first crusade and the rational of the genocide, and some ways the un written policy Christianity and Islam and based  for Antisemitism which is deligitimization of the Jews, due to the fact, monotheism claim have direct line to God, while the Koran have 33 versus of Genocide of the Jews and internal contradiction of the People of the book applied to Christian and Jews, where Islam have issues of power, where people of  the Book (Christian and Jews), need to submitted to a political Islam, and the one who codified the Medieval reason  for the Jewish Genocide was Luther in his 150 Pages On the Jews  and Their Lies.

But, the economic aspect of the no vote, Milton Friedman enforce a mythology if the Markers where free to flow the depression will be end soon, Friedman first chance was with Chile, and the retirement funds—but, with market fluctuation, when democracy return the Government give option to the retires to return to Government control account 80% return Government control programs due to losses of the Market Crash in the 1980´s—needs to point a reason with 2008 Meltdown feast of markets-bank deregulation which began during Clinton administration, but become to another level, where the fire wall Glass Steagall act of 1932 under Frankly Delano Roosevelt, a provision separated the commercial bank and investment, to stop the banks for gambling with the account holder monies, and Democrat congress do not let Bush administration to privatise the social security, they when to the pot of gold the public house—the banks investments first did not when immediately to the poor, but to the middle class, who the sold the idea their houses as private banks, which the price will rise and the borrow against this increase future sell, when the run out of house holders who took the bite, the pray on the poor who rented, they sold the  idea they could own a house, based on mythology of the America dream any one can accumulated wealth.

In the Middle East the solution is political Islam base on Neo-Islam, where, half pollution (women) or the minorities (Christians or Kurds, Yasin) are subjugated or Genocide. Begs the questions of what is the  Europe crises—the crises is about Solidarity or the rules, as we understand the rules base on certain principles send Germany trough a self-destruction, the same crises applied to political Islam, whether is theocratic state Iran, Saudi of ISES.

Open Health Care

In 2008, Bouchard et al, Privatizing biomedical research—a´third way, Biotechnology, Vol 26: 31-35 the majority of drug development was achieve via public funds. Because especially, more than now, Biology, Medical research, become time consume from the basic research to medical trials.

Historical, hospitals were institutions to dispensed charity and medicine, records exited about 2500 years, in India, Fan Xian 400 C.E., wrote in his chronic visit to India.

Rome and Greece have their own tradition, in the case of Greece, Hippocrates, known as the Father of Modern Medicine, established a medical school at Kos. Hippocrates and his students documented numerous illnesses in the Hippocratic Corpus, and developed the Hippocratic Oath for physicians. What its significance, the fact the ideal of communities Hospitals administrates by some public level, from Charity to direct state intervention, this tradition was kept in Medieval Europe and accepted Muslin communities, the first doctors in this communities, where Christians and Jews, the reason not only the Knowledge was from them, but Islam limited profession to the people of the book, and Medicine as Profession, was base on License, In Europe the same development, since the Christian wold Limited the Jewish to any access to university, and Hospitals were view as apprenticeships .

Bismarck, realizing his political tool provide to the Prussia State the first insurances, not out charity or good will, but out fear—the industrial revolution brought to the cities migration, in many case overcrowd and unsanitary neighborhoods, by guaranty health care.

While not just Germany, where, the License provide by the state, where in the US, the License is given by Medical Association, and the state provide a License to prescribe drugs. 

In US the health care provider were no profit,, in the 1980´s with Regan come into power, and the battles from free for all market and the regulated market, tilted to the free for all, Manage Health Care born a for profit, where in the Process, mental health clinics become close, since, one the most of the expansive, and bottom line cuts, and cost, the saving when to the Managers, and health care become a private, where the employer past the cost to the workers.

While, Modern Medicine is driving by developments, and the use of public funds, because its not just the cost, but not guaranty of success, become only the one who can afford the price access.

The crises did not end, since many marketers advocated used of Emergency rooms as access,  the hospitals driven by profit, send to the direct public support, even deny entrance, Medicine have become a privilege, to be healthy become a privilege. 

More, over, the educational Hospitals benefit from public funding from the research to maintenance, the cost, the education of MD in Europe is Profession, where in in US base on privilege, the education itself is a high specially apprenticeship, based on theoretical and practical, become more as Art, with time get better, because experience, the combination is due Biology, sometime basic rule are simple other times is complicated, but because the interaction as always complex.

The best model, there is not a single path, what is obvious the for profit model, excluded sometimes the ones who are exposed the most and they need the most, but cannot afford the axes. 

One consideration should be community hospitals, were educational training is base an high skill apprenticeship, combined with open model of drug development and research open an transparent, we are in time the Artisan industrial Revolution is upon us, can be extended to drug development, where research can transfers directly industrial scale, from make places, 3-D Printing. Many times researcher needs, access to people, equipment or Machine Shops to customize instrumentation-base on a sharing—gift economy.

Open Science, Open technology and the question of the Artesian

While, leaning or building a body of knowledge (Epistemology) is not just about collection of facts or information, but is how to make judgements calls. Open education model exits a good example is http://www.ais-sanmarino.org/ , (AIS is unique, because is also the only high learned centre, where Esperanto is part of the fabric) and has been in operation since 1980s as education centre. But only in beginning of the 21 century new model collaboration was possible in part, information science collaboration model peculated through the fabric of the society, and models like open biology brought to research is DYS, not since amateur astronomy, where for the love and desired, become to alternative, while biology is described as descripted, but nature of biology a very complex, sometimes have simple rules, sometimes complex rules, but interaction always complex the formation of groups like  http://diybio.org/ and http://www.genspace.org/ in New York, but the idea has been spread, not just to Science but to DYS technology or makers, have succeeded to lunch micro satellites, in spaces hacker places, Fab Labs, one characterise of this places is the used of 3-D  printers is part of the tools. Of course many this open models developed of computer and programmers aficionados creating another possibility.

Now the models developed the next step is to transform into communities open cooperatives as economic development, we can consider since the mass production common place in the 19^th century and the 20^th century, the small scale and time consume art of production was consider a thing from the past, but the decentralisation of knowledge and the accessibility of the information through the internet open the possibility, to collaboration and alternatives. The myth of the rough individual become a fantasy, due complexly, projects like SETI, where the funding dry up or just complex like CERN or Fusion projects, while in this institutional project hierarchy base on power sets, still place, open to other models. Now with share, open economics slowly peculated through society. Medical education, while is very elitist and exclusive, medicine itself is not just a science, but a practitioner, make medical education into an art, and the artisan should be to every knowledge, a combination of practices and foundation knowledge, learn in this open source locations, while is different, because is not just 4 years, but longer time, which is the human experience. We just not waiting for our own funeral, but life has given us an opportunity as individuals to growth, but because we still dealing with creation of the system, where we evolution prepare us for dealing with few people in small groups, but our complex world, a system were the elite think of themselves, against the cost of everyone, and political, economic system felt us, and created conflict, we have a new beginning, where small groups though democratic assemblies can renew us, we can created this small places where we can growth.
