Hi all,
after reading the last posts, I wanted to say that it is some of the best
posting on everyones part that I have read in some time.
I don't know, , where to start, I guess my opinion is that, well, I don't
think we need Marx, all that much, I mean his critiques is great, but so
are so many, I just don't trust a "science of revolution". I think what
makes socialism and communism, or anarchism, or what ever you want to call
it, so attractive is the Heroic acts of the individuals who have ACTED,
and suffered, for the cause of the  poor. There is every much an Evil
Empire
in our time, and I think it is what what anti-imperialist have called the
West. We are in the political processes of "exploiting" if you want to be
political, or you could just say " crushing" and " destroying,"  the
slave
nations of the south, or " the third world". And this is the most
important
event in our time, and has been for a long time. So any movement that
attempts to correct this situation, as hopeless as it might be, is going
to be relevant to the situation.
I think this is  what being for the masses in the third world, is about.
SO what ever we do to better our situation in the West, we can not escape
or  get
ride of the fact that we are in the rich nations, are more often than not
born
to a life of middle class work, while the greater portion of the earth
lives in the dire poverty.

So I tend to see myself as belonging in many ways to a ruling class,
even if I am oppressed in someways, in the larger picture, I have have the
responciblity to act in a political way. What ever that means, And that is
what we are trying to figure out.
