Knowledge is power, Ignorance is Bliss. But to dwell in a world filled with accessible knowledge and remain ignorant, is Stupidity.
Truth to a person impaired by Ideology is like a flashlight to a blind Sightless person.
People also have a right to be ignorant and many exercise that right on a daily basis.
Some go so far as to make a religion out of their ignorance. (thanks Tom)
Words to live by on these Social Networks
Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one, but some produce more crap.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me Unless I ALLOW them too.
Religion is the opium of the masses. ~Karl Marx~
Theosophy is Divine Knowledge or Science, "Divine Wisdom," (Theosophia) or Wisdom of the gods, as (theogonia), genealogy of the gods. The word theos means a god in Greek, one of the divine beings, certainly not "God" in the sense attached in our day to the term. Therefore, it is not "Wisdom of God," as translated by some, but Divine Wisdom such as that possessed by the gods. The term is many thousand years old. It comes to us from the Alexandrian philosophers, called lovers of truth, Philaletheians, from phil "loving," and aletheia "truth." The name Theosophy dates from the third century of our era, and began with Ammonius Saccas and his disciples1, who started the Eclectic Theosophical system.
While there are many theoretical and practical differences among the various forms of Marxism, most forms of Marxism share these principles:
- an attention to the material conditions of people's lives and social relations among people
- a belief that people's consciousness of the conditions of their lives reflects these material conditions and relations
- an understanding of class in terms of differing relations of production and as a particular position within such relations
- an understanding of material conditions and social relations as historically malleable
- a view of history according to which class struggle, the evolving conflict between classes with opposing interests, structures each historical period and drives historical change
- a sympathy for the working class or proletariat
- and a belief that the ultimate interests of workers best match those of humanity in general

The main points of contention among Marxists are the degree to which they are committed to a workers' revolution as the means of achieving human emancipation and enlightenment, and the actual mechanism through which such a revolution might occur and succeed. Marxism is correctly but not exhaustively described as a variety of Socialism. Some Marxists, however, argue that no actual state has ever fully realized Marxist principles; other Marxists, such as Autonomists claim Marxist principles cannot be realized in any state construct seen through the 20th Century and would necessitate a reconceptualization of the notion of state itself.
Why I go by the name of Black Marxist (blkmarist): I had another account here on Multiply before this one and I was attacked repeatedly by these Right-wing hate-mongers. They called me a Black Marxist many times and I deleted my original account. I later decided to not allow them to win so when I created a new account, I used that name as a show of protest and a sign that Sticks and Stones may break my bones but names will never harm me.
