FUTURE OF THE "ARAB SPRING"




Year 2011 will always be remembered as the "year of liberty" in the history of the Arab world. The Arab spring revolutions  face an uncertian future in presence of the recent developments though. Will Military Junta  become new "Mubarak"?? Or what are the true intentions of the new government in Libya??  Or whether Syrian revolution had been smothered?? However, answer to these questions comes from history.

When we look at  history and analyze the patterns, we can know a great deal about the future of the Arab revolutions. Each revolution goes through certian phases:

Phase I:  Each revolution starts with a "reaction" from a particular section of society which had been most dissatisfied from the ruling regime. It was intellectuals and workers in Russia, Third estate in France, and Islamists in the Arab world.

Phase II:  The primary "reaction" to this "reactionary class" by any regime is to smother it in its earliest stages. However a phase is reached when the ruling regime is no longer yielding and the "reactionary class" is no longer willing to submit.

PHASE III: This results in violence from both sides against each other, leading to changes in the existing government. This temporary government is called an "interim government" .

PHASE IV: This government is born out of the "shadows" of the previous regime.(the Jacobian club in France and Provisional government in Russia). So it is still trying to "control" the "reactionary class". Therefore it starts using indiscriminate force against all the sections of society alienating all the sections in the process. Thus whole of the society sides with the reactionary class, uprooting the "interim government"as well and therefore leading to "Complete revolution".

Howver each revolution does not passes through the all phases smoothly. Often people mistake Phase III i.e. uprooting of the earlier regime as the "complete revolution". However often the "interim government" is no better than the earlier govenrment. That is why Africa found itself in the grips of dictators when Imperialists left.

Both Libya and Egypt are in the grips of "interim government" today i.e.struck in Phase III. These" interim governments" are no better than the earlier regimes. A new cycle of violence against "interim regime"  is inevitable in Arab world. The revolution will soon enter Phase IV, when whole sections of society will side with the "reactionary class" in order to bring the revolution .

However in Syria the revolutionaries are still struck in "phase II" . Untill and unless they find international support and the supports from sections within the society (including the different sects in Syria), Assad is not going anywhere.

The "Arab spring" is not over yet though....it still has to wither few Tornados more before it blooms forever...

JOKER'S ANARCHY



They are no longer a motley of Human-emotions...Movies today shape up much of our perceptions about ideologies, beliefs etc. They have become a strong tool for forming public opinion .It is true for all form of media today as well.

People generally do not think much  about the beliefs and ideologies. They are much worried about their day-to-day affairs. Because of this reason they generally "follow" whatever is told to them to be right. It is therfore the responsibility of the movies to present the true picture and all facts correctly alongwith their proofs, so that the people can analyze the things for themselves.

However this unbiased presentation of the facts and opinions is not there which leads to idelogies becoming unwarranted "victims". Nothing is more victim of unbiased presentation of facts than "anarchism" itself.

I call this concept of anarchism as the "Joker's anarchy" because of the mis-representaion of the anarchism in movie "the dark knight". Far from being an ideal world without controls,in which everything works harmoniously; anarchy in the movie seen as a dystopia in which everything is crumbling down and is heading towards destruction.
Because of these kinds of mis-representaion of facts, anarchism today is seen as a "terrorist's ideology" rather than a future for humanity.Anarchy or anarchism even in dictionary is first described as a "disorderly state" before its explanation as "a society without state"

What people have in their minds today is "joker's anarchy" rather than a "true anarchy". But the movie is not a stand-alone case. There have been several malicious campaigns run over the years by both the capitalists and socialists which had severely damaged the concept of anarchism. Few incidents like the" haymarket affair" were used as incidents to malign our image. Today people associate Anarchism with something "very negative" or even "evil"

We need to refurbish the image of anarchism. Perhaps we need a word, a new flag in order to carry our revolution forward since the word "anarchism" is "beyond repair"...

I want people to shed the image of a "stateless society" as "Joker's anarchy"

REBELLION,REVOLUTION,RESENTMENT



Rebellion is saying "NO" for the first time and staying with it after that. People rebel when they are on the angry stomach, have lost everything they had valued...but the last thraw is same in every case, that is , the threat of losing the self-respect. This anger then boils up....bursts like a volcano engulfing the very cause of it....it bursts out to take revenge.from the very people who had treated their subjects like dirt for all these years.......

But is it true that every rebellion is a revenge?? A resentment??

Perhaps we need to define both the resentment as well as the rebellion???

Resentment is for something that we do not possess, while rebellion is saying no for something we already possess. It is a fight of what is "LEFT IN US"
And for which we rebel fights for something which each human being possess irrespective of social status, nationality,gender, colour and race  ,that is, basic tenets of Human dignity-freedom, equality and fraternity.

A true rebel values what is common to all the humaity...not to his class only...rebellions will keep failing if people do not realize that they need to fight on the basic human values-values that are common to people you are fighting against too .

That is why Mahatma Gandhi wanted a revolution of Non-violence because he was afraid of one fact only that is, the Independence movement moving out of its humble beginnings based on equality into the bloody backlash  by the Indain population, thus losing out its moral value.

There is a thin line between rebellion and resentment- But the basis of a rebellion are Universal values rather then narrow class wars of resentment. French revolution is a classic example of rebellion based on Universal values spiralling out of control into a resentment. As soon as a rebellion slips into resentment, it ceases to be "morally right revolt"

If you resent the rich and you want to kill them for their richness, then you are not really a rebel ...you are merely a resenter...you want something that you do not possess i.e. their wealth.You are merely disguising your anger as a rebellion.
I want you to know therefore that if you value life of your fellow men and you are prepared to fight for them...do value life of the oppressors too....We need to destroy the "symbols" and "ideas"only-we need not to destory precious Human lives for this.

WALL STREET PROTESTS: DO YOUR JUSTICE


A government----a government which is democratic, republic and a harbinger for bringing world freedom has thrown away its mask today...

Where is the accountability of the government...the protestors are not protesting against anything bad...there is no armed revolt...why then scores of policemen are being sent to control them

as I had said earlier...the primary job of government is to deliever justice. The very day it deviates from this it looses its right to call itself a government..
If a government is too incompetent to deliver justice and is so impotent to send police against its own people but not to arrest the real culprits..

then do away with..
 take justice in your own hands...lynch them...kill them...

they deserve this..

they are the sinners not only  of America but of a person sitting empty handed in Bangladesh too...you will be serving the world by delievring this justice..

Enough of the greed of those sitting in the street...enough of the casino capitalism...enough of these blood-sucking rich gambling on the resources which are produced by boiling blood and sweat....and

Enough of the government who is sending police to arrest us...

My dear brothers and sisters in America...I truely support your endeavour....take justice in your own hands now....in the war between Government and people...Numbers always win......

COMRADES- GET READY FOR INFOWAR





"Information is the seed for an idea, and only grows when it's watered.”-Heinz V. Berzen

Why the government tries to control information?  Information that is not until and unless relates to very sensitive issues such as Military matters should be open to all, yet all government fears the free flow of the information.
 The reason is the obvious, the information has the potential to generate new ideas.Information leads to free exchange of ideas which in the due course of time leads to the pathbreaking new ideas. Any new idea is detrimental to the old stucture or old fabric. It is obvious that any new idea is normally related to either the social or the political matters. And therefore the new ideas are seen as something feared upon by the governments. Whether the government is the democratic or autocratic, whether  it is United states or the Iran, they all share one thing and that is a free flow of inforamtion between the citizens of the country. All to curb generation of new ideas that can prove to be dangerous for the elites sitting in these governments.
Internet is one of the most important tools in the hand of common man today for bringing about a positive change in the society. This positive change if you ask any citizen of a country, he will say that he would like the positive change to happen in the political sphere. In fact he would most likely place the political change prior to the social change.

Governments fear this and now there is increased scrutinity of the informations exchanged on the e-platform. Numerous websites especially like Wikileaks has been banned....why because they strip all the sheaths of the government.

Why governments wants to conceal information? So that nobody can know how much they siphon off the taxpayers money, or how many people are killed in the jungles of kenya, or how many of the people are tortured in Guatnamo....

Friends that battlefield has changed..we are no longer fighting the monster on the ground...though we wil continue to fight on the streets...we need to unite to ward off the evil from another battlefield...let's get ready for the big battle....let's equip each other on technology and knowledge tools...1 billion computer experts will be difficult to stop...let's make lives of those sitting in the secret services of China and CIA offices a little bit difficult...
