The Prototyped Massacre Left Forgotten
“First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew,
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.”
~Pastor Martin Niemoller
Many during the 1950′s that lived in the “Land of the Free” feared not the idea of Communism altogether, but the idea of what may happen to those that were found to have been a Communist. As the years increased, the paranoia against Communism decreased as if the event during the 1950′s never happened. Though, it remains a part of history that is forever remembered upon by many, & some to this day that still acts upon the mindset of those anti-Communists in the 50′s.
Such figures like Glenn Beck, a popular Fox News caster by the conservative right-wing, are ones that seem to be bringing the 50′s back, or at least the mindset that took place then, with such claims that...

The Growing Discontent of Revisionist China by the Working Class
“A Communist should have largeness of mind and he should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as his very life and subordinating his personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere he should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; he should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about himself. Only thus can he be considered a Communist.” ~Mao Zedong
As oppression & exploitation of the peasantry & working class people of China have increased, unreported discontent within the Chinese people have grown against the revisionist Communist Party of China (CPC). Very little within the United States have a soft spot for China, & an even larger number than those against China today have shown opposition against them even during the leadership of Mao. This has come from a clear...

Crises of Various Types of Consciousness: Revisiting False Consciousness and Ideology
“The vehicle of science is not the proletariat, but the […] intelligentsia; modern socialism arises among individual members of this stratum and then is communicated by them to proletarians who stand out due to their intellectual development, and these then bring it into the class struggle of the proletariat where conditions allow.” (Karl Kautsky)

The State Under Contradictory Conditions
What is the State? Is it an oppressive bureaucracy in which controls & exploits those who are oppressed under said State, or does it act as a tool for the oppressed to re-oppress the bureaucracy in which threaten their very lives? In other words, is it State A or State B? Well, under these two enactions, we are only visualizing the State based on its actions, but the reasoning behind said actions remains unclear, until now. If one was to ask "the anarchist" (& please understand that, when I say "the anarchist", I am only referring to the majority of anarchists, whereas the minority of anarchists, as I have witnessed, see the State under a Marxist analysis) on what they see as the State, they clearly define it under the ideal that it "naturally" operates itself - as I have defined it - as State A. But is the State, as "the anarchist" defines it, under such a natural order?
How exactly does something act under a "natural order"? Well, if one was to look at it under religious terms, one would say the State acts under its...

The Shining Path Revealed: Behind the Lies & Propaganda
In a area where guerrilla warfare has been waged for the past two decades now, we find ourselves within a psychological war against those that remain as the true holders of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist party, the Sendero Luminoso – or better known as the Shining Path by mainstream media. Led by Chairman Gonzalo, or also known as Abimael Guzman, the “Popular War” was first waged on May 17, 1980. Although they trained themselves under Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thought, they also comprised themselves under the banner of what they considered as “Gonzalo Thought”, in which detailed certain key strategies through guerrilla war & survival. Since then, the Peruvian government, military, & media have waged both counterinsurgency & psychological warfare against the Sendero’s, in the hopes of eliminating any element left of this guerrilla army. Although they’ve come close into doing so this past decade, the Sendero Luminoso remain in numbers & still, to this day, are waging class struggle against the Capitalist ruling class within Peru.
The “Popular War” is waged

Educational Training Income Beyond Zero Tuitions
Critique of Growing Wage Inequality: Educational Training Income Beyond Zero Tuitions
“Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.” (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels)
In June 2009, the National Union of Students in the UK called for the government to replace tuition fees with a graduate tax spread out over a number of years after graduates receive their degrees, based on progressive taxation. The Guardian called this move “a radical departure from decades of opposition to any form of payment for tuition.” A little over a year later, members of the new coalition government of Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, most notably the Business Secretary John Cable expressed support for this. Traditionally, student politics has been bankrupt, ranging from post-modernist activism to mere identity politics to zero-tuition agitation (calling upon individual universities or colleges to scrap tuitions, not society at large), and it is this...

Capitalism: The Inevitable Road of Destruction
Capitalism, of all socio-economical systems in the world, has reigned suppreme worldwide. Here in America, it is the very essence of modern day profit making. And, beyond the pro & anti stance between the democrats & republicans - the two party system - both tend to find themselves agreeing on the same economical system. Now, whether it is regulated or unregulated is a different story altogether. Though, as America finds itself under an economical turmoil, in which is said to be the worst in history since the Great Depression, is it not just a bit worrying that the two only powerful parties of this very country supports the same economical system? You hear plenty of labels by both parties on what one see's in the other. To the democrats, unregulated capitalism is nothing more than crony-capitalism. To the republicans, as illogical as their statements can get, see regulated capitalism as nothing more than a "government takeover". But, as much as one can take in by the mainstream media, that is the only debate we really hear about our economy & how it is...
