Passion and Love: Ingredients for the revolutionary
I have begun writing a book about the evolution of Communist thought. I am not a Communist, but I have always been intrigued on how Marxist thought has developed and how Marxism-Leninism has grown. I may have only had the chance to read a few readings and two biographies on Che Guevara and Mao Tse-tung, but I have gained a simple conclusion.
Che Guevara can be quoted as saying: “At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.” Che Gueva’s idealism generated out of passion and love. He built his idealism on the thought of being a sort of socialist doctor. Che toured South America and witnessed the plights and disease faced by the poor and oppressed. His revolutionary impulse seeked to solve these ailments. He mixed his love with the doctrine of Marxism-Leninism and borrowed the revolutionary tact of Mao Tse-tung. Fidel Castro, however, was not a man of ideal, however, not until long cooperation with Che. Fidel did not have passion or love, instead he thought in terms of self-empowerment and nationalistic pride.
In the Chinese revolution, Mao Tse-tung squashed opponents that had passion in their ideals. Mao rather forwarded himself for personal gain, never reflecting compassion towards others or a deep love that intertwined with his ideals. Any time that Mao’s adversaries (his own political circle) expressed compassion or love, Mao punished them with ridicule.
Political doctrine in the world of revolutionaries often is seen as a black and white set of conduct which must be rigorously followed, with strict discipline. This is not the approach that revolutionaries must take. Revolutionaries must be passionate about their beliefs, they must adapt these political doctrines to their passion and love. If not, these revolutionaries create the societies we know today that proclaim to be Communist or Leftist. They are run by dictators that rely on hardened doctrines, they are full of paranoia and silence the public, they destroy society in hopes of preserving their perverted ideals.
Without passion and love a revolution loses sight, it becomes manipulated and corrupt, forming more so a means for personal gain – not for that of the people or true idealism. When I mention the word revolutionaries, I mean each individual in this world. We are all revolutionaries. We each think and act in this world, we each make changes to our society. If you find yourself holding a belief and do not know why, that there is no passion or love behind it – then why hold on so dear? Think about what you do and how you act, try to live passionately.

How a Revolution Could Happen
This post is to ponder one question: how could a revolution happen in the United States?
Our founding fathers were astounded that our country could succesfully go throw a ‘revolution’ every four years. However, it seems that radical changes from term to term seem less and less. How do you believe a revolution could appear in our country, beyond our conventional election means?

Obama-nation
On my way to work 97.3 The Brew posed a question: is there almost too much Obamanation? It seems y
ou cannot help but hear something about the presidents personal life or his picture plastered around the media. The iconic Obama Change image has been paraded arounded and whored out just about as much as that crap Warhol picture of Marilyn Manroe. You cannot quite put the whole blame on him, he is actually has vitality in him when he speaks – there is one other reason. Patriotism sells about as good as sex.
There was an article at Time.com earlier this month. The article pokes at Obama for having the spotlight when he took his wife to a broadway show in New York, NY; saying Obama is showing up the average joe, and that he has plenty of hired help to let him do these things. Who cares? Our president is going out to see the people and be a family man – yet everyone seems to bash him.
Mass media cannot report on the war anymore – that’s almost eight years old. Brittany and Paris are done being drama whores, and whores period. Diseases are only fun for so long. We finally have a president that can be on television and people won’t just flip the channel. He has a personality! The media is going to go all over this. During the Bush years, you could not do many articles on his personal life. He was not very charismatic, he looked like a chimpanzee and he did not seem confident as he spoke. Now we have someone that these kind of things can actually be written about.
I will not lie; I am very sick of seeing the “Yes We Can” and all the Obama shirts/hats. Great, he won. Yes he did a good speech. Get off the hype and make sure he does his job. Make sure his promises can be kept by lobbying your senators and representatives. Quit bitching that Obama is in the media too much. Be happy we have a president that can actually be in the media positively.

The Lack of Governance.
I just wrote a new short essay. It isn’t much, though. The thought has been on my head all day, I needed to finally jot down a short synapsis before I can go back and elaborate further on it. Here is the link for the article. Don’t forget to check out a few of the other essays and share some thoughts.
I’m really getting kicks out of this “Say No To SOCIALISM” crap put on by people who think Obama will destroy our wonderful Capitalist Republic. Because, you know, all those other countries with socialist policies are doing so bad.
