| i was doing some reading in class and stumbled across some literature that is eye-opening and true as well. karl marx predicted and summarized history this way. it is pure genius. The Marxist theory of historical materialism understands society as fundamentally determined by the material conditions at any given time - this means the relationships which people enter into with one another in order to fulfill their basic needs, for instance to feed and clothe themselves and their families.[11]. In general Marx and Engels identified five (and one transitional) successive stages of the development of these material conditions in Western Europe.[12] Primitive Communism: as seen in cooperative tribal societies. Slave Society: which develops when the tribe becomes a city-state. Aristocracy is born. Feudalism: aristocracy is the ruling class. Merchants develop into capitalists. Capitalism: capitalists are the ruling class, who create and employ the true working class. Socialism ("Dictatorship of the proletariat"): workers gain class consciousness, overthrow the capitalists and take control over the state. Communism: a classless and stateless society. this was envisioned years and years ago and the truth is, capitalism is an evil system that creates a vast gap in people between the bourgeouise and proletariat. it is writ in greed and that is sinful. i found this very interesting. these are the principles of marxism. a belief that capitalism is based on the exploitation[3] of workers by the owners of the means of production a belief that people's consciousness of the conditions of their lives reflects the dominant ideology which is in turn shaped by material conditions and relations of production an understanding of class in terms of differing relations of production, and as a particular position within such relations an understanding of material conditions and social relations as historically malleable a view of history according to which class struggle, the evolving conflict between classes with opposing interests, structures each historical period and drives historical change a belief that this dialectical historical process will ultimately result in a replacement of the current class structure of society with a system that manages society for the good of all, resulting in the dissolution of the class structure and its support (more often than not including the nation state) |

| the best thing about this time of the year in terms of politics are the bigots that hate those of us who are voting for obama. its great. i get some much email and hate on facebook and myspace because of my staunch support of obama and biden. it must suck beyond all words to know your candidate is losing and have to resort to attacks to make your life mean something everyday. i absolutely cannot wait until 4 weeks from now when obama is elected President and Leader of the United States. to hear the sweet sound of the gnashing of teeth of republicans will be the most precious thing i will have ever heard in many ways. oh yea, i love jennifer. i have an amazing girlfriend. |

| i got back from LDAC about a week or so ago and I am very glad to be back. it was the most difficult thing I have done in my life. i did pretty well and I'm glad to be able to return from the military training cycle to civilian life. the weather has been wet lately due to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Fay. so needless to say, i have not been able to ride my bike much. this semester is going to be the hardest of any that i have had thus far in graduate school due to the 2 core classes i have in the MALS program. i have a feeling that i am going to be hating life most of this semester. |

| lately, i have been interested in reading about the assassination of Julius Caesar and all those surrounding him at the time. it is a rather complex series of events and the motives behind the murder make sense from the Senators point of view. i personally think that it was an effort to make Rome remain free and not under a dictator. caesar's murder was just after he declared himself the dictator of Rome... for life. Brutus was the lead hitman in the murder. He and Caissus, along with Casca instigated the murder. Casca was first to stab Caesar and he blocked it, then as history has it, and i think the most haunting part of the entire scenario, "when caesar looked up after blunting casca's stab, he saw brutus. it was then when caesar put his toga over his face and accepted his fate, as the fellow conspirators closed in on him, stabbing him a total of 27 times. brutus is noted as dealing the final death blow, ending the dictator's life. then there is marc antony. many regard he, as brutus, as one of the greatest military tacticians of all time. nonetheless, antony is an interesting figurehead. he was racially pure, as it pertains to being a Roman, and many thought that he was steadfast in maintaining his Roman race and loyalty to the same. however, he fell for the greatest seductress of all time. the god of seduction, as documented by Robert Greene, in his book, the art of seduction; Cleopatra. she was the greatest seductress of all time. she made kings of state fall for her and betray their very own states for a chance or time with her. she was a native of egypt. she was a lover of julius caesar and marc antony; whose loyalties and ties surpassed all in the Roman empire, arguably. however, he left Rome to be with Cleopatra and ended up killing himself because he thought she was dead. she got wind that Marc Antony was going to kill her because she thought he thought she was conspiring against him. well, turns out, that wasnt the case, and when she had the information dispatched to him, that she had died, he committed suicide. a few days later, she ended her life by taking a poisonous asp to her chest and dying because "her only love" was dead. later, when both bodies were found, caesar's son, the heir to the Roman state had them both buried together, side by side. |
