Communism is alive and kickin'


After skimming through the net, it hit me that socialism is all around us. Let me just point it out from the beginning that I am by no means expressing my allegiance to left by writing this entry, but merely expressing my readings on contemporary events and Marxist philosophy.
There seems to be a common misconception that communism is buried for good and that capitalism hit the last nail in the coffin of Marxism. I find the contrary to be true.
Sure capitalism may have suppressed Marxism. Now isn't that what former is created to do. I am not preaching that communism need be enforced on people, but it needs to be given a fair shot. It disgusts me how America demonizes with its propagandistic techniques. If the masses reject communism, then by all means keep it buried, but give it a chance! If this chance is not given, the the forces of communism will have to force their way through by any means necessary. This is why Marxism is inherently violent. It is impossible to rid one's self of draconianism without having the sour taste of vengeance in one's mouth!
Around the world we see that once given the chance, the masses realize the egalitarianism that is at the foundation of communism. Recently, an article titled "Thai crisis exposes class struggle" shows that when the masses push for the determination of freewill, they can shift government policies, one by one, until they eventually become the government, i.e. the State, which is due to represent them. The days of militarism and violence in terms of forcing change are over. In this new era, its a matter of effective activism, campaigning, and unfortunately bandwagoning in order to raise support and to bring the government at the masses' feet. I think the most evident example of this is Nepal's courageous long standoff by Maoist rebels to finally seize power and bring justice.
What really got me fired up to write this entry was my discovery of arabawys lenosphere! I feel like there is an underground movement of intellectuals that is destined to have some impact on these splinter movements worldwide.

Let me reiterate that I'm not necessarily a proponent of communism, but I feel like we are soon about to be watching history go back to the cold war.
