The idea that man...I have read a bit of philosophy. The idea that man is nothing but a competitor is explained quite hardly by Thomas Hobbes. When I read his phiolosophy, I found it quite rediculous. Howcome, all of a sudden man became nothing but a savage beast fighting for his share in the kill.<BR/><BR/>On the contrary, according to communism, mans nature is coorelated with the mode of production like all other things. Communism is not going to come all of a sudden that it will be unnatural to move from competition to cooperation. On the other hand, it will be followed by a socialism. Now socialism says that you receive according to the work that you do. The TRUE worth of your work.<BR/><BR/>We communist are not pessimistic, we are optimistic since we believe that the present condition of the world (especially the third world that is suffering the most) can change. If there is no alternative the world is doomed and we are stuck in this vicious cycle.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>China, is one big example of a progressive third world. That shows a country that is able to get out from the grip of the First World and is right now in a position to challenge them economically. Ther is hardly any third world country that has been able to do that (except for USSR in the past). I think socialism is the only alternative present for the third world.<BR/><BR/>I haven't studied the Mao's model to answer your questions adequately. I am still busy with Marx, Engels and Lenin.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>"The theories of Marxism are based on a scientific method of thought called dialectal materialism; to be clear there is no one answer to a question". Its good to question everything.Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047775595630580078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14165226.post-1122595533014165862005-07-29T05:05:00.000+05:002005-07-29T05:05:00.000+05:00anotehr thought, is what significance is mao's chi...anotehr thought, is what significance is mao's china and the cultural revolution to teh study of communism? tehre are examples of non-self intrest during the cultural revvolution. <BR/><BR/>anyway, i'm not sure if you've read articles on www.communism.org - but it's a great website wit hlinks to forums and such - but you sound sussed enuff on communsit theory - just remember to question EVERYTHING.Commander Ragnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295159196894778720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14165226.post-1122595227133797532005-07-29T05:00:00.000+05:002005-07-29T05:00:00.000+05:00The victors write history anyway, and capitalism i...The victors write history anyway, and capitalism is deemed to have won against socialsim/communism.. society is socialised into believing that greed and selfishness is inherent as 'nature' because it 'inspires' the hoplessness of the proleteriat to just accept opression and explotation. capitalism, by claiming to people that 'communsim' failed, is telling people that capitalism is inevitable and tehre is no alternative. but perhaps the soviet model was infiltrated - or even created by the burgoise (can't spell it :P ) in order to conteract the threat of actual communism....Commander Ragnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295159196894778720noreply@blogger.com
