communism vs capitalism
The other day, listening ‘The Workers of Vienna’ makes me thing the difference communism and capitalism create at the social structure.
In the song every working individual is called ‘worker’ ignoring the job they undertake and the job title. Consequently whole society is a group of workers. They can come together under the same title and fight for an aim. Even though there is a hierarchy at the work place they are still under the same title ‘worker’ hence have same objectives.
However, in the capitalism companies have strict titling policy; lets take IT as an example:
… Director -> Senior Project Manager -> Project Manager -> Project Lead -> Team Lea -> Senior Software Engineer -> Software Engineer ….
In capitalism every individual is bound with his/her title and a member of his/her title group. As a whole they are employees of the same company but they are not from the same group so they are not the same.They cannot unite and act together for a common goal.
So as a system capitalism creates a society formed by small groups of people whereas communism creates a society formed by is a big group of workers.
English translation of Die Arbeiter von Wien - The Workers of Vienna
1. We are the building people of the world to come,
we are the sower, the seed and the field.
We are the reapers of the coming harvest,
we are the future and we are the feat.
|: So fly, you flaming, you red flag,
up front on the road that we march on!
We are the loyal fighters of the future.
We are the workers of Vienna. :|
2. Masters of factories, you masters of the world,
now finally your rule will fall.
We, the army, which will create future,
breaking the chains of confining custody.
So fly …
3. Though encircled by defamatory lies,
spirit victoriously arises
dungeon and iron are broken by his might,
when we prepare ourselves for the last battle.
So fly …
What are we missing?
An Englishman feeling alien in US; even though
- he speaks the same language
- he has a very similar culture
- he doesn’t have a life-changing disadvantage in UK
What would be the feelings of a man who
- speaks English as second language
- is from completely different culture
- had to leave his country
Do we clearly understand what people are going through when they have to immigrate?
Frans de Waal: Moral behavior in animals
Great videos that proof empathy, cooperation, fairness and reciprocity are common moral traits between mammals not limited to humans. What a shame for philosophers who deny facts and stick to their old fashion thinking.
