| "A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Communism. All the Powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcize this spectre: Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Communistic by its opponents in power? Where the Opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Communism, against the more advanced opoosition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries? Two things result from this fact: I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European Powers to be itself a Power. II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their arms, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself." -The Communist Manifesto (the future looked much brighter in 1848 than it does today i'm afraid. there was a time when equality was a dream, now it's a fiction. there was a time when freedom was a hope, now it's a 'concept'. the political situation of the world today saddens me. in a world where we pride ourselves in global civilization, racism, sexism and the defiance of any popular authority for the sake of defiance are rampant. to become different is no longer a happening of chance, it is a well-thought out and carefully planned sales campaign. we're selling ourselves, our souls and our families. all we want is to be loved? and this i waht we do for love? we give away our most treasured and irreplacable valuables: our personalities. for the sake of love? no. for the sake of money. and you know what saddens me the most? i want money, too.) |

moana | Re:, 11-20-04 3:03pm you know it. i'm going to rewrite it some day, referring to how history has raped the manifesto through maoism and stallism. just you wait, i've started working on it already. |
