- socialism is a discredited economic theory? says who? the people who called the u.s.s.r. or the p.r.c. "socialist" are the same people who calls this amalgamation of capitalism and [proto-]fascism a "democracy." the bourgeoisie maintain their hegemony and privileges by keeping people divided--by passing off greed, competition, and selfish "individualism" as "human nature." i don't believe that these traits are inherent in us; we are a product of social conditioning brought on by capitalism. we should aim for a more egalitarian society based on human camaraderie, cooperation, and mutual aid, because i refuse to believe that this miserable existence is the best that mankind could ever hope to achieve.
the revolution begins in your heart.

The antique subject is interesting, especially if you apply it somehow to social networking.

- Interesting page in an interesting article. Though I'm sure this isn't the best source for this info, it does put it in a good perspective with re: primary and secondary education. I find it rather hard to grasph the concepts of collectivism, coming from a very individualistic background, but I think I'm getting better at appreciating the good things it has to offer. Understanding the differences are essential for cultural understanding and respect. Billions of people can't be "wrong," one way or the other. Every system has its merits and flaws, and I know that we too often discount things we're not familiar with.
