If anybody has acces to the NY Times magazine available with the sunday NY Times should read the article about separation of church and state in there, it's a very interesting proposal.

QUOTE(holden_caulfield @ 07/09/05 12:46am) Actually, communism never worked.  And Marxism has succeeded? That's actually an honest question; I know it's not strictly a form of government, but many have argued that while communism has failed, Marxism would work. -------------------- |

Oh I don't know about that. I was taught that Marxism is strictly an ideology, whereas communism is its implementation (sad attempts for the most part). Most people remember his socio-political philosophy, and those are the terms that stick with us--means of production, superstructure and base, proletariat, etc. But he also had a very interesting idea of how human history unfolded, how it was cyclic and yet, at the same time, not cyclic.
A few quarters back I took a class on literary criticism and I was surprised to find out that not only has Marxism has heavily influenced contemporary literary criticism, but that its influence continues to this day. Marxist theorists are a dime a dozen, so I hear. So to me Marxism hasn't completely failed. Though his final vision was flawed, the ideas that got him there are still being used today. There was an awesome website which described this literary school (and lots of other literary schools), but I lost it. Sloppy seconds will have to do. Maybe ML knows more about Marx? Just a guess. |
