Marxism, What do you know of it?

I wanted to start a thread of a subject I know nothing about. However, I am very interested in learning Marx's language within his writing. Capital is a great novel by Marx. However, the book is written with discussion in mind. I would like to know what you know about Marxism and how you agree and disagree...

marxism mean that all means of production is controlled directly by the government
everybody make the same salary
pro
no poor people equal opportunities for everybody no matter the status of parents
con
no way for risk takers and people with bright ideas and people who compete
to excel and make better products and cheaper prices and dreams for those not there
yet to strive to gain what the successfully gained
often see americans abuse these terms along with socialism which pretty much is the same deal
about countries with higher tax's more welfare and more strict gun laws then usa
one can feel what one like about those 3 things but it don't as I see it equal socialism

I feel Marxism is the most wrongly followed belief in the world. For any definition you can refer to wiki.

Marxism takes away all incentive to excel in any area.

One word: Utopia.
Cheers

^^^wrong. that would be the end of human progress.

It died a few years ago.

Marxism has a noble aim but - as already pointed out - is a disaster in practice.

We will have general elections next weekend. People are bored of the same platitudinous speeches of politicians. The campaign is made of scandals. There is no credibility. No values. No one believes, no one knows, the political philosophies of the parties. Not even them, I think. Abstention will be high.

Marx and Engels had a lot of innovative ideas and Marxism in its pure form is probably as close to a perfect society as humanly possible. It has never been implemented anywhere in the world.
It is debateable if Marxism would lead to stagnation of thought and progress. No way to know for sure, unless we get a real life example. I personally don't agree with that conclusion.
Communism is a perverted version of it that lets a small number of people on top of society enjoy anything they want and have a free hand with power and control while the common people live in poverty.
Capitalism and Communism have more in common than you know...

there is a good place to learn english

i think i will learn more english than phone knowledge.
my mobile is meizu m9 and i cant find much of it.

reading books and novels taught me good English

The best thing I know to do is to start asking questions and never stop.
Sadly, too many of us here in the U.S. don't care and don't take pride in being able to write properly.
I know I'm new here (in fact I'm *brand new* as of today) but if you have questions, I'm certain there's others on here like me who can help.
Remember: we learn by doing.

I learned English at a strip joint.

Assuming you're in China, get a girlfriend who can't speak Chinese.
Join more activities with people from different countries.

I'm not a proponent of the "immersive" approach to language education, tbh. I don't believe it really works all that well, and I do believe it is an extremely resource-intensive, inefficient approach.
But then again, that's just me talking.

I just got rosetta stone for arabic. The pronunciation is killing me. Can't vouch for it though, just started it.

Cable television helped a lot with my english, back when I was in school (20 years ago)

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. I'm saving up for a backpacking trip to the Middle East. That is is some beautiful land and culture yall have out there. Just so much untouched land. I've backpacked around America, but never been outside the US.
EDIT There is one thing that you can help me with. Besides Al Jazerra, what other news sites would be good to watch/read to learn more. Also, do you know of a good way to learn the alphabet and writing? Thanks.

Thanks man

best advice is to hang out with people who speak the language you want to learn, Then ,read out load every day that language (gets your mouth used to saying the words). That was the biggest help for me

Immersion is pretty well proven to be the fastest way to learn a language actually. I studied Spanish for 5 years in high school and college and learned more Japanese in the first six months I lived in Japan without studying for one minute than I learned in 5 years of Spanish classes.

Here's my question on that point: Do you attribute immersion itself, or that by living in Japan you had a credible "need to know" as opposed to a merely arbitrary academic requirement and/or interest when you were still in school?

I agree, I think that is the point of immersion - that you are forced to find ways to communicate in the native language. The best advice I ever got about learning Japanese in Japan was from a fellow American - he saw me keep looking in my English to Japanese dictionary and told me to throw that thing away and get a Japanese to English one. Instead of looking up words in English and then trying to say the Japanese word I saw there, I would listen to the Japanese speaker telling me something, look up the word IN JAPANESE and then find the meaning on my own in English.
Using the words I learned in an authentic context day after day was the only way I learned to use them naturally.

Well, just like Btros said, he took Hebrew in school and can't function at all in it. The difference is that when you take a language in school, unless you actually have a personal passion for learning another language, or that language in particular, you don't really have a need-to-know and so you don't really learn it.

I suppose one could stumble through this sort of process, but it just seems like a very painful one. For one, how can you look up words in a language you don't know? I mean, if I were listening to a Japanese speaker, I'd have enough of a time trying to hear the individual words, let alone ever attempting to reconstruct their spelling and, from there, look up the meaning of the word.
Without at least some formal instruction, how can someone actually know what they're listening to? It's not like any of us native speakers speak. like. this. when. talking. to. other. people. in. the. real. world. and yet, without conversations being had in that manner. we native speakers speaklikethiswhentalkingtootherpeopleintherealworld and that is basically impossible, aurally, to pick apart when you don't have vocabulary.

Earthquake in NZ; 6.3 Mag, Fatalities

Just heard about this myself.
Thoughts, prayers, etc. go out to those affected.
Link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12533291

Yep, Christchurch has been having earthquakes for a while now on a frequent basis but this is the worst one yet, my prayers go to all the people who suffered.

All my best for the ppl on that zone of the wrold

I'm in the thick of it - was in a lecture when it hit. Thankfully, we're back up and running with water & power now (Hell, the cable's back up), my suburb's one of the least damaged. Bit less of a wake-up call and more of a genuine disaster than September's - last rumour I heard was that a good number of the 65 confirmed casualties were from a preschool on the ground floor of a large building in the CBD. I really hope that's not true.

Well, between all the storm flooding in eastern Australia and now these earthquakes, I'll bet you folks from that region are about tired of being dumped on like this!
I live in Florida, and when we had those hurricanes come through in 2004 / 2005, a lot of people (myself included) were really at our wits' end.

Wait... I don't understand that joke. At the expense of lacking laughs... can you explain it?

The gist of it goes like this...
There are more sheep in New Zealand then there are human beings. As a consequence of this, there are a lot of sheep jokes or sheep references relating to them (largely coming from their Australian neighbors) and, in general, the "implication" is that New Zealanders have improper relations with sheep.
So, if you're going to read the joke (and was a joke, I don't really believe this to be true) in the "context" it was intended, you would read it like this:
They have sheep in Japan [so the New Zealanders will have something to do at night] ?
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I have an ex g/f who's from Australia who clued me in on this whole thing, and I've got a couple online friends from NZ who are really fantastic people.

Ok... that's disturbing. Reminds me of the python song, "We love sheep"... and of course, there is that rumour that effluent Japanese business men have... shall we say, a night out with various domesticated animals prior to enjoying them for a dinner.

Village in Philippines bans MOBAs and shooter games, cites corruption of youth

Thoguht of posting this as well here, partly to vent at how screwed the government is here, so yeah. This is partly the reason why I have a rather low opinion on politicos here in the Philippines. I don't play or care about the mod (or the Source Engine-powered sequel for that matter) myself, but this reeks more of a band-aid approach when it has more to do with parental complacency, and it can actually lead to a Streisand effect as well.
The popular computer game DotA (Defense of the Ancients) was banned in Barangay Salawag in Dasmariñas, Cavite following an ordinance implemented by the local government there.
In a report from GMA's 24-Oras on Wednesday, Salawag Bgry. Captain Eric Paredes said someone already died due to the computer game.
Mayroong dalawang namatay na ang pinagmulan ay sa mga computer shop nang galing 'yung pag aaway. Nalamin namin na ito pala'y naglalaro ng games sa computer shop at isa nga dito 'yung sinasabi nila na DotA, ("Two people were killed in brawls ensuing at computer shops. We found out that they were playing games at the said shops and one of them was this game they call DotA,") Paredes said.
Aside from this, barangay officials said DotA distracts youngsters from their studies and is a bad influence that makes the youth participate in video game gambling and violence.

My wife is pinoy so I have somewhat of an understanding. The Philippines is largely traditional catholic and any old school towns would likely have a view like this. Is the view statistically accurate? NO... the decision I guarantee was made mostly by the religiously influenced backgrounds of the local government in that area. Science or rather the scientific method is not something that is truly understood or followed in many governing bodies. And as such the people they are over will suffer either directly or indirectly because of it. And by suffer I mean have lack of options and opportunities that other less burdensome governments would allow. That really sucks... good luck to that town.

why importance of technology in education?

In the field of education, technology has an important role because with the help of technologywe can cam make easy to education. Also, technology provides a lot of study materials through which you can learn anywhere in the world.

People have lost sight of the fact that, from an educational perspective, the most important technology ever created was the printing press.

With technology, students have a wider range of resources to learn from and a wider range of resources to conduct fact checks. I'm not sure of all the other benefits but that's all that comes to mind.

I cant put it any better.
But here are some factors that make me favor the integration of technology in education.
Firstly, most teenagers right now started using phones right from childhood therefore integrating mobile education just make it simple for them to grasp some of the concepts. Besides, with the introduction of Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence, it can only get better .

Technology is very useful in these for education. Even the school students have smart class, they can understand the concepts easily.

Education should be literate and tecnology...
Teachers themselves not only need to be literate, but they must also ensure that their students are able to access the information they need, are capable of determining the relative merits of the information obtained, and are able to represent the information they have gathered in new ways using the different forms of media available to them (print, video, audio, digital).

At present, technology has been imposed in our daily lives, therefore it is a vital need to learn and master them, since everything that surrounds us implies technology in one way or another,

With all lockdowns, technology is used more than ever for teaching and learning...

It will be useful if technology is implemented properly. But so far there's been a lot of bad attempts

It's pretty important for any essay writer to compose unique texts for the customers. If it would be not unique, client can refuse from the payment.

AI/CAD Robotics teacher's!

It's almost impossible to imagine education process without using tech in it. Agree?
For example https://idscan.net/. Employing student ID scanners and school visitor management software dramatically improves school safety and security by denying access to unauthorized individuals and granting access to those approved, all in real-time. Did you even know about that?

"The media is the message."
Hmmm...
Technology is the message.

I am interested in 3D printing and I think it’s a great idea to use 3D printing in educations. It is not easy to have young students figure things out without the benefit of visualization. A visual learning environment improves their understanding of the world, being able to touch and see their projects. It’s a great opportunity for graphic, geography, chemistry students. But 3D printers are expensive, and many educational institutions don’t have enough funding to buy them. I hope, this will change over time.

Just imagine I can study the language practising with a native. I'm sure that people have had no such opportunity for a couple of decades ago. And that's the basic thing that I could mention. The internet is a huge library where you can find everything you want. Also, it is possible to talk about the newest technologies like VR. It is insane.

Not near everything and it can be heavy censored/search biased.
Example, wiki keeps editing critical info out to fit their left and god knows what agenda.
Example, entry David Hedison ie Capt Crane from the TV show Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was in the Navy. He was also a pretty good Navy boxer. It helps explain his physical prowess in fight scenes... it was real.
This critical fact was completely omitted by wiki.
Even chemical entries have been altered over the last few years removing important properties.

Technology is very important in education. Continuing education is crucial. That's why platforms for online learning are very good. MOOCs offer the opportunity for lifelong learning at international universities. You also get certifications. Free and available to all. Many websites are also a good source of knowledge. XDA is one of those websites. Without internet access all this wouldn't be available. The most important thing is that education never stops and various new technologies will make continuing education possible for many people.

Technology makes education more engaging, interesting, and you can get more information rather than using old books.
