Angela Davis Biography:

Angela Davis, radical black activist and philosopher, was arrested as a suspected conspirator in the abortive attempt to free George Jackson from a courtroom in Marin County, California, August 7, 1970. The guns used were registered in her name. Angela Davis was eventually acquitted of all charges, but was briefly on the FBI's most-wanted list as she fled from arrest.

Angela Davis is often associated with the Black Panthers and with the black power politics of the late 1960s and early 1970s. She joined the Communist Party when Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968. She was active with SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) before the Black Panthers. Angela Davis ran for U.S. Vice President on the Communist Party ticket in 1980.

Angela Davis has been an activist and writer promoting women's rights and racial justice while pursuing her career as a philosopher and teacher at the University of Santa Cruz and San Francisco University -- she achieved tenure at the University of California at Santa Cruz though former governer Ronald Reagan swore she would never teach again in the University of California system. She studied with political philosopher Herbert Marcuse. She has published on race, class, and gender.

Marcuse and Marx

Marcuse’s beliefs of capitalism can be rooted in one of Karl Marx’s main concepts: Objectification. Marx believed that capitalism was exploiting humans; that what the labor workers were doing ultimately dehumanized them as functional objects. Marcuse took this belief and expanded it. He believed that capitalism and industrialization pushed laborers so hard, that they began to see themselves as the objects they were producing. In One Dimensional Man he states, “The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile,”[2] meaning that capitalism degrades humans to the commodities that they create, giving the commodity more importance than the being itself.

I actually can't disagree with his concept of the person becoming the commodity. I know many people who are enamored of their possessions to the point that the possessions define them. They name their things such as their automobile.

I name things as humor but not as real names. I call my tree loppers "Cindy" (Lauper) and my sledge hammer "Percy" (Sledge), etc.

Let's look at the good side of Communism shall we?

65 million dead in the 20th century. Superior Court Judge Harold Haley makes it 65 million +1.

They build walls to keep people in.

They kill those who try to leave.

The few have everything, the many have nothing.

Yep, a real bunch of warm fuzzy guys. Wouldn't want to say anything bad about such a wonderful bunch, would we?

...which in some ways directly contradicts certain other ideas that karl had in ways that sorta poke fun at themselves, but i digress.

Communism as a theory on paper is a perfect system until you introduce people into the mix. Then it falls apart like wet tissue.

Granted. It's good to hear several sides.
