What is Socialism?

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

And is it bad?

Why do we have the (what I believe to be) unjustified belief that socialism is bad? Why do we believe that “Marxism” is bad? Do most of us even know what true Marxism is? Click on the following link to learn some Marxism Basics, albeit a biased website.

If you read that page you may find that you had a misconception about what “socialists,” actually believe and that it’s really an educated position. You may still not agree with the socialist positions, but you have to admit they make some good points! I just want us in capitalist societies to think a little bit outside the box. We’ve been conditioned to believe that Capitalism is the best way to run a society and we’ve bought into that idea. Just as we buy into the idea that “America is number 1!!!” Number one in what? Definitely not education… Not imports, exports, jobs, family time, etc. Do you see where I’m going with this? Why do we think America’s way of doing things is the best way and all others are wrong? Maybe because that’s what we’re taught. Why do you think religious fundamentalists are so willing to blow up themselves to kill infidels? Because they’ve been taught that they will go to “heaven” and their families will be rewarded. They are brainwashed from an early age just as most everyone in every country is to some extent.

It’s time to break outside the box and start thinking for ourselves. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. Question everything you believe. Maybe you’ve already done your research and confirmed your belief on a particular subject. If so, that’s great! I just don’t want people to go through their whole lives believing something just because someone else told them that’s the right way to think and the right thing to believe. Educate yourself and draw your own conclusions.

I’m Back

Pace Myself

I’ve decided to continue posting on this site as I’ve gotten some feedback from a few readers that seem to have an interest in some of my posts. However, with the other things I’ve got going on in my life, projects, work, etc., I will not be able to post very frequently. I’m moving to a townhouse in Mt. Lookout, OH with a friend this coming weekend but hopefully I can start posting periodically after that. Happy surfing.

What Can You Accomplish?

Monday, August 11th, 2008

And how are you going to accomplish that goal?

What is the most difficult aspect of accomplishing any goal? Taking the first step! We all have many good ideas each day but the true hurdle is in implementing the idea. Have you ever seen something in the market-place and thought to yourself, “I thought of that years ago!” Well guess what, so did somebody else, only they had the imagination to implement the idea! You know what though, you can implement ideas too! The most difficult part is taking the first step, especially if you don’t really know where it is you’re going!

That’s how you make positive changes though. Take steps even if you don’t know what the outcome is going to be, learn, grow, and when you arrive somewhere different tomorrow you will have an alternate perspective in which to assess your situation. Do you want to build a really cool website? Well, from my experience, you’ll need to build a couple awful ones first! That goes with anything. In order to be successful at something, you must fail many times in order to become good at what your trying to achieve. You can’t step up to the tee and out-drive Tiger Woods, but that shouldn’t stop you from getting up to the tee and trying until you do!
