New Hope for the Changing World

This piece is based on the thinking of Bertram Russell.

According to him Carl Marx was a great (political) philosopher.

The word political I substituted and has no substantial meaning.
I have not read Karl Marx and let me leave at that.

Most of my adult thinking was shaped by reading his books when young.

Buddhism even though had moral outlook, I did not bother reading.
Besides it was in Pali a language I know very little.
I am almost certain, Sinhala originated from Pali having distorted Pali of its core meaning,

Buddhism opposed war at any cost and I was born in to the free world with NO War.
Then, suddenly (American geared war in the middle east for petrol money) the war in Middle East from 1968 to 1973 for domination of petrol assets changed the world.
Israel is an American proxy backed by UK.

War in Ceylon was again an American proxy aided by Indian RAW from 1983 to 2009 was simply to dominate Trade Route.
It was all war of attrition and it created the current debt crisis in which China has very big interest.

Coming back to Bertram Russell, philosophy not religion had more attractive to me (with or without formal teaching in philosophy).
However, science was my base.

My current attraction to Professor De Bono and his "Beautiful Mind" tagged  probably with compassion has no place in the current world.

I never read Carl Marx and I am still looking for his book I (English translation), De Capital.

He divided the people to proleterate (working class) and burshewa (business or ruling class).

According to Russell, Carl Marx fomented anger.

The result was rise of communism in Russia and China.

As a free thinker he opposed communism but ironically, his opposition to Christianity made him to land and hide in Russia in ?1920s.

He was 4 years old when the First World War started.
He was sent to prison for opposing the world war I.

He hated World War I but was ambivalent to Second world War.

Probably he hated Germans without expressing it in public.

He strongly opposed to Vietnam war and was sent to prison again.

Russians hating Neo Nazis in Ukraine is natural and inborn tenfency.

He in fact, he predicted the Third World War.

He could not say from where but would have thought Americans would engineer it.

Yes Americans have done it, again.

Why?

Inborn jealousy to all Russians and its proud long history.

We are now, in the thick of it.

Its consequence are going to be catastrophic.

However, he had an optimistic World View and thought mankind will eventually come to senses in the distant future by opposing all form of wars.

He said he cannot predict when that will come.

Perhaps with Nuclear War looming his prediction will never come to fruition in our life time.

That is an irony mankind has failed to grasp.

More weapon to Ukraine will bring Peace without any cost to Western Hegemony.

Not a reset but a new world order would emerge in the East.
