You were just a backstreets girl, hustling and fighting, scratching and biting
So I'm sitting here in the Chels-tarium on her computer. There was a mandatory-if-you-don't-show-it-will-be-taken-into-account-all member Little Theater meeting that required me to come back to campus and it was only 15 minutes. I wish that mandatory meetings would last long enough to justify my return to campus instead of actually getting stuff ( Read more... ) -

Why I don't believe in god
A tsunami struck Southeast Asia, killing approximately 230,000 people. Hitler ruled Germany and caused the genocide of 6 million Jews. Every day millions die, and they don’t go quietly in their sleep either. They are burned alive. They are stabbed to death. They are tortured, beaten, electrified, drowned, frozen, starved, mutilated, and ( Read more... ) -
What's Yours Is Mine and What's Mine Is His (Marx, Private Property, and Communism, briefly)
In Marx’s “Private Property and Communism”, he attacked the philosophy of French socialist thinker Proudhon. He claimed Proudhon’s theories on the creation of socialist states were naïve and insufficient.

Viva el Che!
So you like Ernesto Guevara? You’re a fan of El Che? Really? It was hard to tell, I must admit. Certainly, you couldn’t expect me to know from that t-shirt with his face on it. Nor could I have gotten it from your expensive jeans with his visage spray-painted on them. Nope, not from your coat with him on the back, or your 6-8 pin versions of him ( Read more... ) -
Human, all too human
In Marx’s thoughts about emancipation, he revealed that the ultimate truth of human nature was in man realizing himself as a “species-being”. What does this say about Marx’s beliefs about human nature in general? In the “Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844”, Marx extrapolated on what he thought human nature was, as well as discussed some ( Read more... ) -
Emancipation a la Marx
I said I was going to talk about Marxism, so let's get moving. In Marx's "On the Jewish Question" he discusses emancipation, not just of German Jews, but of the whole world. Now, for those of you who have read Marx, or critiques of him, what I may say next might be a disappointment. I am not here going to analyze the argument of whether or not Marx ( Read more... ) -
Almost Anniversary
Nearly one year ago, a tragic event occurred. Meagan made me get a Live Journal. I posted on it once, then abandoned it forever. Well maybe not forever. Maybe today I will post. Basically, I don't forsee using this as an actual journal per se, but rather a soapbox for me to go crazy on. In light of this, I will now flood my journal with ( Read more... ) -
