Privately, Khrushchev was reported to have made bitter personal attacks on Mao before stunned onlookers from the international Communist authoritative account, Mao attacked Khrushchev allegedly replied in kind, likening Mao's behaviour to that of Stalin, accusing him of being detached from realities of the modern world, and -- perhaps the worst crime for a true Marxist - Leninist - of ignoring the interests of world revolution for the sake of China's national concerns.
The Future of Eugenics. Eugenics, although based on the science of genetics, is not itself a science, for it must above all concern itself with social values, with the question: Whither mankind? Perhaps general agreement could be had that freedom from gross physical or mental defects and the possession of sound health, high intelligence, general adaptability, and nobility of spirit are the major goals toward which eugenics should aim; perhaps even that diversity of nature is better than uniformity of type. But how far ought selective reproduction to interfere with human freedoms? Genetically, as in other respects, "there is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in the worst of us" that it is hard to assess the worth of the manifest hereditary characteristics are the product of environment, particularly for those qualities that are eugenics' major concern: sound health, high intelligence, and the like. The Jukes and Kallikaks were horrible examples of degenerate humanity, but what might they have been in a better world? Were their alcoholism, their crime, and their vice inescapable products of their genes? It seems very doubtful. Only the experiment of putting them from earliest infancy into an optimum environment--not forgetting that it need not be the same for everyone--than to modify gene frequencies by wise selection. Once mankind has produced an approximation of that optimum environment, the eugenics task will be much simpler. In fact, the natural selection exerted by such an environment may make eugenics quite unnecessary.

A THEORY OF REVOLUTION

A THEORY OF REVOLUTION
By Mark Ralph Rowe
In 1960, polemics from Peking and Moscow thinly veiled by doctrinal exegesis revealed growing disunity between the two communist giants over a range of issues covering the entire spectrum of strategy and tactics in the world revolution. Privately, Khrushchev was reported to have made bitter personal attacks on Mao before stunned onlookers from the international Communist authoritative account, Mao attacked Khrushchev allegedly replied in kind, likening Mao's behaviour to that of Stalin, accusing him of being detached from realities of the modern world, and -- perhaps the worst crime for a true Marxist Leninist - of ignoring the interests of world revolution for the sake of China's national concerns.
On social perception.
Social perception is the study of how people form impressions of and make inferences about other people. To learn about other people, they rely on information from their physical appearance, and verbal and nonverbal communication. They can be ways in which people communicate without words—including through facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, body position and movement, touch, and gaze Charles Darwin believed that human emotional expressions are universal—that all humans express and interpret expressions in the same way. Modern research suggests that Darwin was right, for the six major emotional expressions: anger, happiness, surprise, fear, disgust, and sadness. Current research examines whether other emotions have distinct and universal facial expressions associated with them Attributions also affect social perception. They help people make inferences about why others behave the way they do and make predictions as to how they will behave in the future

On Peace, War, and the Art of Revolution -- The War of Peace.
On Peace, War, and the Art of Revolution

Nothing indeed has seemed to be more safely buried than the concept of freedom. If freedom was to disapear from revolutionary vocabulary, then the need for the gravest of all political debates, the disscusion of war with the justifiable use of violence would, in theory, not exsist.
Conquest, expansion, defense of vested interests, conservation of power in view of the rise of new and threating powers, or support of given power equilibrium -- all these well known realities of power politics were not only acutally the causes of the outbreak of most wars in history, they were also recognized as "necessities", that is, as legitimated motives to invoke decisions by arms.
The notion that aggression is a crime and that wars can be justifed only if the ward off aggression of prevent it, acquired its practical and eve theoretical significance only after the first World War had demonstrated the horribly destructive potential of warfare under conditions of modern technology. The seeds of total war developed as early as the first world war, when distinction between soliders and civilians was no longer respected because it was inconsistient with the new weapons then used. Since the relationshiop between state and army is second is not a noticed onlty until history reveled its first world war, and no government, or state of governmentis expected to survive defeat in war.
This developement could be traced back to the Franco-Prussian war, followed by a change from the Second Empire to the thrid Republic in France; and the Russian Revolution of 1905, following upon defeat in the Russo-Japanese war, certainly an ominus sign of what lay in store.
If there is a loss of authority in the powers that be or whether no state and no government, no matter how well established and trusted by its citizens, could withstand the unparalled terror of violence unleashed by modern warfare upon the whole population.
And this means that under conditions of modern warfare, that is since the first world war, all goverenments have lived on borrowed time.
