MARXISM VICTIM OF CAPITALIST PROPAGANDA

Lets start with excerpts from ccommunist manifesto:
the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.In all these movements they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.
Communists labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians(working class) have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

So communist manifesto sounds not as publicized by capitalists. To understand the working of capitalist media read Noam Chomsky’s Media Control The Spectacular Achievements Of Propaganda and Manufacturing Consent.

Marx start a trend in philosophy: before Marx philosophers only analyzed society, they did not prescribe how society could be changed. Marx introduced revolutionary philosophy .And modern philosophers are following revolutionary ideas to devise a philosophy named critical theory.

Core concepts of critical theory are: (1) That critical social theory should be directed at the totality of society in its historical specificity (i.e. how it came to be configured at a specific point in time), and (2) That Critical Theory should improve understanding of society by integrating all the major social sciences, including economics, sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and psychology.

At last I want to mention a point regarding effect of socialism. At present once socialist Chinese Tycoons are less rich than their Indian counterparts. Its implication is in China resources are still well distributed than that in India. In India wealth is concentrated highly among few capitalist where in china wealth is better distributed among capitalist.

To have a good idea on modern version of Marxism u can read writings of Louis Pierre Althusser.

Lets finish with one of my favorite slogans:

WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!

Some political realities in Bangladesh

Almost all football fans follow one rule rigidly: if for some reasons one once support a football playing country, he never takes away his support for that country. This observation has a pathetic recurrence in politics-most ones always vote for same party. No matter how qualified the candidate is. Its’ a political inertia that force most people to discover excuses when candidate of his party is less qualified. It has now become a social norm to follow one party for generation after generation.

We are only following one feature of democracy-election. But what we are doing –we are forming our opinion once for entire life. Our people dislike democracy, they dislike change, and they are unaware of their non democratic nature.

This is a dangerous form of extremism.

When we are reading newspaper we read papers that support our views. We don’t want to read actual news rather we like to read news distorted in favor of our party. When anyone points out faults of our preferred party instead of accepting it we start pointing out faults of opposition party. We always accuse other parties.

We have accepted these practices of politics. We think -in politics there will happen corruption. We accepted much earlier that for doing various tasks we have to offer bribe. Its not a fault of politician that they are corrupted. We regard that they have rights to be corrupted as they spend lots of money at the time of election.
Politicians will steal public resources and will direct general resources to special groups. We all accepted it.

The most disgusting thing is: when a politician of our preferred party is doing corruption we tend to overlook it, even many enjoy it that personnel of his own party is doing corruption.
When politicians of other party do corruption we say its their chance to do it and our chance will come sooner.

Most of our politician are business person or are tools of business persons. Day by day we are reaching towards establishing an idea-we want such political system under which poors are extremely poor and rich are extremely rich.

We have silently accepted many things-we will never raise our voice against any thing. We don’t have anything but eye and ear-as we only do watching and hearing.

Waiting for the days when our people will be able to use their head, mouth, eye, ear and all other organs to establish a political system appropriate for a country like Bangladesh.

I want to work very hard without hope for any reward to establish such a political system with others.

Robert Browning's poem: The Patriot

The Patriot

An old story

I

It was roses, roses, all the way,
With myrtle mixed in my path like mad:
The house-roofs seemed to heave and sway,
The church-spires flamed, such flags they had,
A year ago on this very day.

II

The air broke into a mist with bells,
The old walls rocked with the crowd and cries.
Had I said, "Good folk, mere noise repels--
But give me your sun from yonder skies!"
They had answered, "And afterward, what else?" . . . . . . 10

III

Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun
To give it my loving friends to keep!
Nought man could do, have I left undone:
And you see my harvest, what I reap
This very day, now a year is run.

IV

There's nobody on the house-tops now--
Just a palsied few at the windows set;
For the best of the sight is, all allow,
At the Shambles' Gate--or, better yet,
By the very scaffold's foot, I trow. . . . . . . 20

V

I go in the rain, and, more than needs,
A rope cuts both my wrists behind;
And I think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds,
For they fling, whoever has a mind,
Stones at me for my year's misdeeds.

VI

Thus I entered, and thus I go!
In triumphs, people have dropped down dead.
"Paid by the world, what dost thou owe
Me?"--God might question; now instead,
'Tis God shall repay: I am safer so. . . . . . .30

-------------------------------------------------------------
"The Patriot" is a hero's story of the reward and punishment
dealt him for his services within one year. To act
regardless of praise or blame, save God's, seems safer.

Patriots of our country:In 1971 some fought for independence and some
worked against it.Now we are a independent nation.Some of those freedom fighters,most new fighters ,and traitors are now managing their rewards:as people are not spontaneously awarding them ,they themselves are managing awards .They can consider any and many things as awards.popular response is appropriate:watching and silently accepting...

Seems Creator gives us infinite patience and ability to accept any thing.Politicins are ceaselessly running after award without ever stoping :how much patience and ability they have?General people have more patience:watching ,watching...never bored.We(politicians excluded) are blessed with the quality of "rise once and then tolerate forever".

we all believe onething:this world is only for politicains and world after death is for all of us.We are continuously justifying our belief :(

ACHIEVING KNOWLEDGE

Achieving knowledge (justified true beliefs) is the usual point of thinking. The tools of thinking, then, are the devices and processes we use in that enterprise:

* Experience provides the basic new input for our thinking: what we see, taste, smell, feel, hear, etc. It can be firsthand or secondhand.
* Memory provides a link to data previously collected by whatever means. Without memory, we would be perpetually at the starting point.
* Association functions with both immediate experience and with remembered experiences to group the data we have into clusters and sets.
* Pattern discernment and recognition enable us to make sense of what we remember and associate. Only when we begin to cluster information into some kind of pattern are we in a position to begin to use the next tool.
* Reason is where the hard work of thinking gets done. Reason takes many forms, such as deduction, generalization, extrapolation, and hypothesis construction.
* Invention is the point at which people of genius and creative imagination take over, proposing hypotheses, theories, models, and new ways of construing data that we can then put to work.
* Experimentation is the tool for keeping our thinking under the constraint of testing; of constantly looking to see whether what we have reasoned conforms to what we are experiencing.
* Intuition is a good thing when it happens, but it is rare and, by definition, uncharted.

where does the path split ???

Plato likens ordinary people to prisoners who have beenchained in a cave in such a way that they can only see the shadows of things on a screen in front of them; they would assume, Plato says, that these shadows were the only real things.Now suppose that one of the prisoners was to be freed andemerged blinking into the light. In time he would come to seereal objects in the world, and understand that what he had seen before were no more than shadows. But if he were then to return to the cave to try to persuade his fellows of their mistake, they would be unlikely to believe him. This, Plato thinks, is the position of the philosopher: he has genuine knowledge while those around him have only distorted opinions, but because the path to philosophical knowledge is long and hard, very few are willing to take it.

D u disagree with plato ?

WHY AM I A MAN ???

I have read Bertrand Russell's article "Why i am not a Christian".He, using very easy words, has explained basic concerns of christianity: "God's existence and Jesus as the ever wisest man".He has showed some points against logic supporting god's existence and he has showed how some virtues of jesus are not as good as those of some others. B.Russell's logic is very compelling and i dont know how to counter his logic.His logic seems applicable to all religion almost equally.

Now i feel if i were anything but a human it would be better.I want to believe in god.
Please help me belive by countering Bertrand Russell's logic.
