DESCRIPTION:Students Against Fascism and War Present\n\nTHE ABOLITION OF 
 WAR\nANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES\n\n   Two centuries ago, those who sought 
 to abolish slavery were subjected to ridicule and scorn. Slavery had always 
 existed and was part of human nature, even sanctioned by the Bible. 
 Undeterred, the abolitionist succeeded. Slavery has been abolished, and the 
 idea that some men can own other human beings as property is universally 
 opposed.\n   In our quest for peace, we must confront similar opposition. 
 Haven't men always gone off to war? Aren't humans innately violent? War is 
 necessary to protect our way of life and our values from those who would 
 destroy them? \n   This talk will address such issues by drawing upon 
 modern anthropological fact and theory as informed by the materialist 
 approach of Marx and Engels.  This will lead to clearer understanding that 
 another world is indeed possible, a world in which war will be found only, 
 to paraphrase Engels, in the museum of antiquities, next to the spinning 
 wheel and the bronze ax.\n   Speaker will be Eugene E Ruyle, Emeritus 
 Professor of Anthropology, Cal State Long Beach, and President, Veterans 
 for Peace East Bay Chapter #162.\n\nFriday April 27, 2018 - 6:30 pm\nUC
