Marxism and OCD

-

My problem, that I discussed with someone few days back, is the same problem I am struggling since a long time. This is my problems with Marxists and Communists too. This obsession to do a major havoc in the world order, the compulsion to cure the world of its mysteries and what they do, they wait for the historical process to take its form, in short, they wait for the revolution. 

Life, as we know it, stands right here right now. This mass level politics that wishes to cure the whole international order, why doesn't it act? Probably it fears that without a solid plan, it would fail like it failed in Soviet and China. My concern is that the goal is so big that no plan would ever be perfect to execute this. And that's why I call communism as the plan of extreme emergency. 

I believe in a kind of individual help to people. People need it, in some form or other. People need love, attention, they need opportunities, they need material conditions. I will be contended in life if I am able to help at least 10 people in life. 

So, my message to communists and probably they are already knowing it, is to keep thinking but do not stop living. 

I do believe in the best of conscience, that Karl Marx was the greatest socio-political thinkers of all time and Communism is the best manifestation of humanly love on the socio-political reality. No other thought resembles so close to Love in its entirety. Communism is the manifestation of God as a thought on Earth. 

But, the fact remains, this thought, like God, remains unmanifested. Till it gets manifested, And I do believe it will be one day, I want comrades to be the most loving, the most caring creatures on this planet. 

Comrades, we have a mission to accomplish. But not at the cost of love. But Love should be both means and ends to our struggle.

Journalling will be continued and so will Foucault reading. But I just wanted to share something very personal with you.  You know, Once upon a time, there was a kid who came to a small town in Patratu, leaving his parents behind because their parents were struggling with their own lives and relationships, to a Bijli Board given D-type quarter (House), of two of his Grandparents, Dadaji and Dadima. For a whole year, he was confused where he has come since, he did not know Hindi, only English and Tamil, may be a little Kannada.  He entered a school which was super-Hindi school. For a lot of time, He was a confused kid who did not understand what is going on.  It took at least one year for him to learn basic Hindi to be able to comprehend what was going on? Of course, he was never a brilliant student. Forget brilliant, He was not even mediocre when he used to study in LKG in Bangalore.  Now, cut to, when I see me, this little kid, who has no idea whatsoever, to me, mem...

EVERYWHERE, EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE

-
I wrote it after a sweet experience of is-ness after a Bhajan. Life, as it is, seems quite incomprehensible to us. Too much of everything. Too much of things, too much of people, too much of emotions and too much of reason. The best description of life, as it is, should be Everywhere, everything, all at once. Things exist, and from those things arise man which can comprehend itself and its is-ness.  Is-ness is a quality of the man. The capability to be able to acknowledge how existing feels like, it is a unique feature of the man. Stones cannot describe is-ness. From is-ness, a need for meaning arises. A dire need to formulate why we are able to comprehend so much.  From meanings, arise a need of articulation and from that arises language. Language worships meanings through words. Words create, in turn, their own symbolic or otherwise meanings. These meanings have a world of their own. One meaning that arose due to is-ness, another meaning which was the cause of language and t...

Michael Foucault, in my opinion, is the most influential thinker of 20th Century. No cap. I think the extent to which he has inspired literary theory, Philosophy, Sociology and Contemporary thought in general, it is immeasurable. I mean, everyone thinks he is not Foucauldian until I tell them what actually Foucauldian is, and then they realize that most of their actions in their lives is Post-modern and hence Foucauldian.  Here, in a couple of chapters, we will try to understand Foucault and his thoughts. In no way, it is meant to create an analysis of his work or trying to interpret his work. It is just an informative blog., the way I understand him, I would like to present so as to consolidate my knowledge. Next in the series might be Marx, Zizek, Lacan, whatever.  My beginning to understand him began when I watched this debate happened on a Dutch Television show, where these two Great thinkers, Noam Chomsky and Michael Foucault, appeared. At that time, and it was some 4-5 y...
