DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nTHE ABOLITION OF WAR\nAN 
 ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE\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? How 
 else can we protect our way of life and our values from those who would 
 destroy them?\n   This workshop, presented by Eugene E Ruyle, Emeritus 
 Professor of Anthropology at Cal State Long Beach, will address such issues 
 by drawing upon modern anthropological fact and theory as informed by the 
 materialist approach of Marx and Engels.  It is hoped that participants 
 will emerge with a 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\nSunday, June 17, 2018 – 10:30am-12:30pm\n6501 Telegraph Ave, 
 Oakland (just North of Alcatraz Ave.)\n\nSeating is limited, so plan to 
 come early. We start promptly.\nFREE - but hat will be passed for donations

 series inspired by our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our belief
