The Ego

I am nobody…you are nobody we are egos, we are books, we are poetry we are the models of our models.
We are like a molecule of different atoms put together always reacting with other substances and changing structure…
We are like a sequence of DNA always cutting our genetic partitions and restoring our sequences with new ones…

We are the feeling of satisfaction when we reach out and help a poor, we are the pride of someone that have achieved something, and for achieving that satisfaction once again or to gain that pride for ourselves we take those parts of our models and restore them into our egos

I build up my ego piece by piece…I smash my ego into millions of pieces; I build it up again…
Is this the right one? Maybe I am too narrow minded… maybe I should wait with this part…
I am a sequence of a night loving man who likes to walk in the quiet streets looking at the full moon; I am a sequence of searching for knowledge about the world, the mankind, and the things that are happening behind the curtains
I am a sequence of a cowboy with his boots and hat sleeping next to the fire in the cold while playing on my harmonica and listening to the howling of the wolves
I am a sequence of a selfishness that fantasize about betraying my best friend by hitting on his girlfriend…

But don’t judge me for who I am because I am nobody, I am just an ego, and I am changeable

* Exploitation: Marx refers to the exploitation of an entire segment or class of society by another. He sees it as being an inherent feature and key element of capitalism and free markets. Marx emphasises that exploitation takes place in capitalist production, not in circulation. He distinguishes between labour (the activity) and labour-power - a person's ability to labor. The worker's labour-power is, under capitalism, a commodity, which can be bought and sold. When the capitalist hires the worker, the capitalist pays not for a certain labor but rather for the worker's labor-power, because anything the worker produces during the time under contract belongs to the employer. Marx argued that the wage - the price of the labor-power - should reflect the price of the commodity produced when sold on the market. However, the price of the commodity produced, and the price of commodified labor, is determined by two different markets (e.g. the market for sweaters and the market for labor). Since Marx believed that capitalists will always invest in mechanization, capitalists will always depend on unskilled labor. Moreover, Marx felt that the supply of unskilled labor will almost always far exceed the demand for unskilled labor, thus leaving the price of labor low. Observing the conditions of industrial workers at the time he wrote, Marx concluded that capitalists will pay workers only what workers need to survive and reproduce. Marx is at pains to emphasize that capitalism does not cheat the worker. The capitalist pays the worker for the commodity labour-power at its market price. The capitalist's profit comes from the fact that the worker will labour for more hours than are needed to produce the commodities used to reproduce the worker. Marx calls this 'surplus labour' and, when embodied in a commodity 'surplus-value'. This surplus value is what becomes the capitalist's profit.
* Alienation: Marx refers to the alienation of people from aspects of their "human nature" ("Gattungswesen", usually translated as 'species-essence' or 'species-being'). He believes that alienation is a systematic result of capitalism. Under capitalism, the fruits of production belong to the employers, who expropriate the surplus created by others and in so doing generate alienated labour.[5] Alienation describes objective features of a person's situation in capitalism - it isn't necessary for them to believe or feel that they are alienated.
* Base and superstructure: Marx and Engels use the “base-structure” metaphor to explain the idea that the totality of relations among people with regard to “the social production of their existence” forms the economic basis, on which arises a superstructure of political and legal institutions. To the base corresponds the social consciousness which includes religious, philosophical, and other main ideas. The base conditions both the superstructure and the social consciousness. A conflict between the development of material productive forces and the relations of production causes social revolutions, and the resulting change in the economic basis will sooner or later lead to the transformation of the superstructure.[6] For Marx, though, this relationship is not a one way process - it is reflexive; the base determines the superstructure in the first instance and remains the foundation of a form of social organization which then can act again upon both parts of the base-structure metaphor.[citation needed] The relationship between superstructure and base is considered to be a dialectical one, not a distinction between actual entities "in the world".[citation needed]
* Class consciousness: Class consciousness refers to the awareness, both of itself and of the social world around it, that a social class possess, and its capacity to act in its own rational interests based on this awareness. Thus class consciousness must be attained before the class may mount a successful revolution. Other methods of revolutionary action have been developed however, such as vanguardism.
* Ideology: Without offering a general definition for ideology[7], Marx on several instances has used the term to designate the production of images of social reality. According to Engels, “ideology is a process accomplished by the so-called thinker consciously, it is true, but with a false consciousness. The real motive forces impelling him remain unknown to him; otherwise it simply would not be an ideological process. Hence he imagines false or seeming motive forces”.[8] Because the ruling class controls the society's means of production, the superstructure of society, as well as its ruling ideas, will be determined according to what is in the ruling class's best interests. As Marx said famously in The German Ideology, “the ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force”.[9] Therefore the ideology of a society is of enormous importance since it confuses the alienated groups and can create false consciousness such as commodity fetishism (perceiving labor as capital ~ a degradation of human life).[citation needed]
* Historical materialism: Historical materialism was first articulated by Marx, although he himself never used the term. It looks for the causes of developments and changes in human societies in the way in which humans collectively make the means to live, thus giving an emphasis, through economic analysis, to everything that co-exists with the economic base of society (e.g. social classes, political structures, ideologies).
* Political economy: The term "political economy" originally meant the study of the conditions under which production was organized in the nation-states of the new-born capitalist system. Political economy, then, studies the mechanism of human activity in organizing material, and the mechanism of distributing the surplus or deficit that is the result of that activity. Political economy studies the means of production, specifically capital, and how this manifests itself in economic activity.

Thoughts...

Last week I got in touch with two youths standing in my school beside a table and they had Karl Marx picture hanging down from the desk, first I thought they were a communist group that I had meet a few weeks ago and I came forward to talk with them and then I realized that they are “anti-communist” and under Marx´s picture it said “ Marx is dead”. Anyways I came in contact with them and started to talk about politics.

They represented a youth branch of a party from the “folkpartiet” a kind of right party allied with the ruling right government.
We talked about the bad and good thing they had and they also asked me why I was a member of the left party when I disagree with a lot of their goals. That is a good question but I choose the left party more because it was left and I haven’t got the time to go to any of the meetings yet.
They were all sceptical to the lefts and said that they wanted to unite the whole Europe and open the borders and other things.

But they also called Ché for “a terrorist” who wanted to force communist to the other counties and they got a huge critic for it because the certainly didn’t have much knowledge about him.

We also got into disscussion about Cuba and North Korea, well as I always say, I don’t agree completely with their politics only because they are socialist governments, like the one that they isolate themselves so much or don’t aloud free press.

But we have to keep in mind that a lot is also propaganda, I have for example seen documentaries about North Korea that they call it “ the ghost country” with no cars on the roads and no food. Well you have to understand that no country either Christian, Muslim or Communist like to have lack of food or vehicles.

North Korea was depending on the Soviet Union before its collapse and after that they hade a urge for food and components for their machinery which came from the Soviet.

They probably denied reaching out for America, and now they only get urgent food aid from the UNHCR and other sources. So remember that the empty roads doesn’t depend on the communist itself. It is because they are so conservative about their integrity, which can also lead to problems. We have for example China which is still a “communist” country with the communist logo on its flag, but it have gone thru huge reforms and we can se that it is the largest industrial country in the world now with the ruling communist party.

By having said that I just want to reflect my opinion that the ideology is not bad, it is on the contrary the best because it have erased the religion which is truly “the opium for the people” and a device of oppression for all the leaders.

But by that I don’t want to deny that socialism cannot be abused by leaders, yes it can and we have had those kind of leaders in history also. But when it comes to the pure ideology it is still the finest and hardest to misuse because the “god figure” doesn’t exist and nobody can declare himself as his representative of god or even the god himself and by doing so become immune to critics. In socialism the leader is a person like you and me and he can be wrong and replaced by another one.

The difference between the struggle in Communist ideology and Islam

We have heard a lot about sacrifices in revolutionary movements and group with both Marxism ideology and Islamic belief.

There have also been a lot of arguments about which one of these ideologies are the most sacrificing one in the struggle.

Well in my opinion both sides have shown great sacrifice in the their fight but it is also essential to point out that many of them, or most of them have used their ideology to take advantage of their power and use it to suppress the people before and after coming into the power.

At the socialist side we have seen the Soviet union with Stalin taking advantage and repressing the ones who where against him as well as North Korea calling itself communist ant still it is repressing the people and keeping them in poverty and the leader himself is living like a king, one of the biggest importer of luxury alcoholic drinks from the US, drinking breast milk from nursing women…..

I thought the idea of socialism was no personal profit, sharing between people and equality none exploiting and so on, in this matter North Korean has gone 180 degrees against that idea

At the Islamic part I we can point out even more ones, the good example is Iran who is using the religion completely for its own profit and to suppress the people.

But let’s go back to the amount of sacrifice and quality of struggle between the honest and fine groups who fight for freedom, which ideology brings up the highest drive for fighters and which one is able to sacrifice more?

The socialist groups have “no god or religion” so their inspiration cannot come from “ fighting in the way of god” and thinking about the holy award waiting for them in heaven, so does that make them a less better fighter and less sacrificing than the Islamic groups?

According to me no, because thinking about the religious way and the holy gift that is promised by Islam and that you are promised a unique place at a higher level in heaven as a martyr or as it says “ there will be rivers of milk and honey” or “ you will be given 72 virgins” might actually inspire people to go and blow themselves up in suicide attacks, like one of the suicide bombers in Israel that failed to detonate his bomb and when asked what inspired him he answered “ I was promised 72 virgins”.

Thinking about it you see that the real goal (fighting for freedom) is wiped away and the goal becomes individual, they want to reach their own happy ending.

We can also see a high sacrificing will in the real and honest socialist movements without even thinking about what the after life reward will be because they simply don’t believe in the afterlife, so for them sacrificing their life’s must be a pure belief in their struggle for the cause.

Once again it’s good to bring up the example Ché Guevara made the highest sacrifice in his struggles; he was a pure socialist with a strong belief in Marxism.

Yet no one have ever come close to the quantity of his sacrifice, with the harshest conditions in the jungles, a chasing asthma, underfed…. he continued his struggle to the death.

Where did he get his motivation from? Did he ever think of the heavenly reward?

No, because he was fighting for the cause and for the people and not for his own reward or profit. He also openly criticized the Soviet Union after visiting them for their lack of Socialist values when he saw that they had government officials had better living standards that the ordinary people in their country, he was simply against the exploitation in any kind and believed in the Marxism and he didn’t exploit the term for his own good .

Long live the man who stood up for his beliefs, the only one who can critisize him is the one who have been standing up for his beliefs as much as him and risked his skin for it.
until this day in history no leader have ever had a will as strong as Ché Guevaras will, let him be the symbol for all those who belive in change, no matter what that change is.


I personaly think that two things are devastating for the human kind

1. Power
2. Money
These two things can bring up de evil side of one. It brings up the Narcissism personality in the leader that will lead all the followers to the gap of devastation.

Or as Ché said:” Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel”

We have seen many, Ché was however in total control of this threat at the highest level. We have seen him in the highest positions in the government and still he gave them all up for once again become the simple rebel leader of foreign armies in the jungles.

Ché Guevaras liv i bilder

باز خوانی یک شعر از چه گوارا:

منظور من این است
که هیچ کس
نتوانسته است ابزاری را به ریتم خورشید به کار بگیرد
و هیچکس تا بحال گندم را با عشق و توفیق درو نکرده است

The ant heap philosophy

From the early age I remember that I had this “ant heap” philosophy, it started from
That I always used to reflect about how small the possibility was that I would be born into this world, and now that this birth has occurred “from the billions of souls flying in the empty space beyond the real life in this earth” I didn’t want to waste this chance of life and be “the usual ant in the heap”.

The concept of it is that I see myself as an ant that has a preset task as all the other ants have when they are living in a collective. What would be the point with that if every human being had a more or less predefined task as a programmed robot from the moment of birth until death?
that means being born, going to school, getting a job, getting married, work and have two months vacation each year, getting a family, getting old, feeding the pigeons and finally die.
It always bothered me to be as a normal person, it felt like I had surrenderd to my fate and I was incompetent to change it.

I remember arguing about this with my classmates when I was in the 6th grade in school and I used to tell them that you are all victims of this order, and they used to stare at me with a big question mark.

Another time when I was 14years old and had decided to join the NLA I met this guy called Mansour who was an film producer and we started to talk about the concept of life and he brought this subject on the desk and asked me: don’t you think that it’s a shame that you are going to leave now in this early age? Do you understand how lucky you are for being born out of “these thousand of souls” and have the chance to live on this earth, and now you are going to risk this valuable chance by going into the warfield?

As I remember then I brought up my ant heap philosophy for him and told him that “only because I had this chance to be born out of the billions, I am not going to live like these billions here and let surrender myself to the fate like everyone else.

And he stared at this 14 year old little boy, barely 155cm tall sitting behind a desk and arguing against his ideas, which he thought was very sustainable.

What a memory

Amir

Ché spelad av Benicio Del Toro prisbelönt för bästa manliga skådespelare i Cannes festivalen, och visst var det vackert när han Benicio i sin tal sa: " I want to dedicate this price to the man himself"



Snart är den här, baserat på Ché personliga dagbok under alla år i strid för att ge ett objektiv bild på händelsena och efter Steven Soderbergs och Benicio Del Toros intensiva och 6års långa och omfattande forskning i Sydamerika och Cuba och samtal med Chés nära vänner och släktingar kommer snart den 4,5 timmars långa filmen om Ché i två avsnitt med ca 2 månaders mellanrum, (enligt Soderberg räckte inte 4,5 timmar för att återspegla allt utan de spelade in så länge deras budget kunde räcka) den första heter "The Argentine"

Lågt tänkande

Jag pratade häromdagen med en tjej som kritiserade Ché och sa att han var ”dålig och
omoralisk människa för att han hade sex med den medelålders tjänstekvinnan som jobbade i deras hus när han var tonåring”
Oturligt nog svarade jag inte henne direkt men med närmare eftertanke blir jag än en gång väldigt upprörd för att folk är så trångsynta och försöker med desperata försök skuldsätta andra för vilka sexuella handlingar de har haft.
Detta kan folk ha sagt utan närmare eftertanke och impulsivt bara för att argumentera och denna kritik vänder sig inte mot någon särskild person men min åsikt angående de som lägger sig i dessa ämnesområden som är helt privata är:
Att de har mycket låga och infantila modeller för värderingar av andra personer och de är kulturellt trångsynta.
Regel nr 1: det som folk gör i deras privatliv har absolut inte med någon annan att göra så länge det inte skadar eller påverkar andra.
Att två personer har haft sex kan inte vara anledningen till att man ska döma de för att det har ingenting med varken mig eller någon annan att göra. Om man tänker efter lite så är det en självklarhet men ändå försöker folk lägga sig i och döma folk för deras absolut personligaste handlingar bara har med de två delaktiga parterna att göra.

Dessvärre är denna kultur ”att lägga sig i andras privata liv” är mer frekvent i mellanöstern kulturen där folk brukar ”prata om varandra bakom deras rygg” och på så sätt sprida rykten och nervärdera folk, jag måste bara säga att jag mest tycker synd om dessa personer mer än att jag ska känna avsky mot dem. För jag ser de verkligen som primitiva och outvecklade individer med en meningslöst liv som cirkulerar kring rykten och vanföreställningar.

Och dessvärre tycker jag att det är dumt att någon försöker ifrågasätta en revolutionär ikon som Ché genom att smutskasta honom med en primitiv beskyllning att ” han hade sex med husets tjänstekvinna” jag tycker att han gjorde bra i det och jag tror nog att både kvinnan och han hade trevligt utan att någon kände någon olust eller tvång.

Man kan med i alla fall med all säkerhet säga att han inte haft tid för att förföra kvinnor efter tonåren i alla fall med tanke på uppväckandet av hans politiska intressen i följd av hans långa resa runt Sydamerika och därefter de långa åren i Kubas regnskogar.

Mitt tips till dem som försöker beskylla Ché för hans privatliv när han var tonåring:

Försök läsa lite mer om honom och vad han stod för och hans uppoffringar i 3 olika länder som ledde till hans död istället för att försöka gräva upp saker som enligt er är ” fel, tabu eller omoralisk”, det är varken ett brott eller fel på något sätt att ha sex med någon oavsett vem det är så länge båda parterna är ense om det, och framför allt har det inget med dig eller mig och göra vad folk gör i sina sovrum så försök ändra den attityden

Ché about Imperialism

Min väg

Jag går runt och frågar folk om deras liv…
Jag går runt och frågar de ”ovanliga” människorna om deras liv…
Vad de känner vad de tänker och vad deras livsåskådning är…
För att med denna grund kunna välja min väg..igen..även om jag inte exakt vet hur den går…
Jag har gått runt och pratat med folk, de mest drabbade, utstöta, ovanliga, de som folk kanske inte ens bryr sig om att fråga någonting om, för det kanske får de att känna skuldkänslor för att de utnyttjar de, eller för att det får de att tänka på saker som inte är själviskt vilket i detta samhälle nästan är en självklarhet för varje individ.
Jag har frågat prostituerade från Paris till Thailand om hur de känner sig, varför de gör det de gör, och vad de önskar sig mest här i livet, det har fått min själ att flamma upp.
Anledningen till att jag frågar? i grund ligger nog mitt eget beslut som jag vill förstärka.
Men innan jag gör det måste jag vara säker på livets alla sidor, olika människors syn på livet, och om mitt beslut verkligen är värt att ta.
Första gången jag tog mitt beslut hade jag aldrig forskat om detta. Jag var för ung och oerfaren, det enda jag gjorde var att ”anta” att det som jag tänkte var rätt om livet och människors syn på den.
Men nu kan jag själv få bevis för om det är värt att vara som de, nu får jag veta om de verkligen känner sig inlåsta i en ond cirkel där de inte kan hitta ut. Eller om det verkligen finns de som är nöjda och njuter av detta ”liv” och har en livsåskådning som tillfredställer de frågor som de har om ” livets mening”. Men än så länge har jag inte fått något bevis för detta.
Jag saknar dig…
Jag saknar månen, och den fulla stjärnhimlen som gud brukade dra över mitt huvud som ett lakan av glimmer, så fullt av stjärnor så att jag blev bländad när jag lyfte huvudet mot skyn…
Jag saknar dig, ditt kalla järn i vintermörkret mot mina frusna spruckna händer som hade slitits ut av all bensin och olja som jag har hanterats med, för att hålla dig ren.
Sist då jag såg dig var då jag tillsammans med andra ombads att lämna dig i den lastbil där jag la dig på alla andra motstycken som låg på högar, en hög av järn som hade förlorat sina ägare och som skrek av ångest medan soldaten i kamouflage tittade på.
Jag vet att jag inte alltid har varit god mot dig, ibland låtit damm sitta på dig och t.o.m. sett dig rosta, du kanske inte saknar mig för det, men du ska veta att jag tänker på dig jag undrar om du fortfarande ligger i samma mörka rum eller om du har fått en annan ägare som har fått ett jobb som soldat av ”befrielsearmén” med de 50 stjärnorna på sin flagga.

Jag saknar den varma brasan som gav min själ nytt liv när den värmde mig i mitten av natten medan jag hörde hundarna yla i öknen längre bort.
Mina ögon som jag knappt kunde hålla öppen, och då min största önskan var en riktig sömn efter flera år av arbete och sömnbrist.
Jag saknar de hundar jag brukade mata med kex som jag hade fått för min vaktpost, hur ni verkligen uppskattade det och hur ni blev ”mina bästa vänner”, för ni var vilda hundar, ni vet nog inte ens att folk brukar ta hand om er i en annan del av världen och att få mat av bästa kvalité är en daglig självklarhet för dem.

Jag går runt och frågar folk…inte för att vilja skriva ett artikel, en poesi, eller av nyfikenhet
Jag frågar folk för att ta reda på sanningen om denna värld och kunna ”välja vägen”
”min väg”

Hello Friends,

Welcome to my new blog, let me start my new blog by some quotes from the greatest revolutionary of all times in our history, and the man who stood up for his belief
Ernesto "Che" Guevara
We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.- Ernesto Che Guevara

Hasta la victoria siempè! (Until victory always -- Struggle until victory forever!) - Ernesto Che Guevara

If you tremble indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine. - Ernesto Che Guevara

Words that do not match deeds are unimportant. - Ernesto Che Guevara

Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel! - Ernesto Che Guevara

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. - Ernesto Che Guevara
