A Just Economic System


Since imperialist commercial monopoly dominate our world, since then it maintain that most of human are stay under poverty, and just share profit with dominant country. A high life standard of those countries are built over our suffering. Hence, in order to increase life standard in under developed countries, we should strive against imperialism. The freedom of one country from imperialism is not solely partial victory against main enemy, but also weaken our enemy generally, one step ahead to ultimate victory.
In this life or death struggle, there is no limit. we can't just ignore what is happening everywhere in this world, since any country victory against imperialism is a collective victory. And any country failure is also ours. Proletarian internationalism practice is not solely striving people for the better future duty, but also an inevitable necessity. If imperialist, America and its allies, establish an attack toward people in under developed and socialist countries, the simple logic is that a must of alliance among under developed and socialist countries. If there is not other factor, enemy could be the sole unity factor.

Placement

The most difficult thing in formulating war strategy formation is placing. Sometimes, the right placement won’t give instant benefit, but it will give you log term benefit. A wise leader should know what his long term objective to gain the final victory is.
In war state, place yourself, firstly, in a safe position and wait the chance to strike. Your defense is the function of your own effort, while defeating enemy, you have to wait the right chance that is given by your enemy because of their own fault.
Moreover, the conditions to defend yourself and beating enemy are different. You may have more than enough to challenge your enemy. Then, the priority is to defend army and weapon, since they are the key of your success. Therefore, even a good general can’t ensure to beat the enemy, but he can ensure that he is invincible.
A good general don’t win the war just because he stress the victory solely. A good general will create prosperity for his men, not asking ridiculous thing from his men. If you have a good strategy, remember that you can create an external condition help your preparation. Order or disorder, bravery or fear, power or weakness is the result of placing.
If you get to the battlefield first, you will have time to rest and wait for your enemy. If your are late to get to the battlefield and your enemy is waiting for you, when you get to the battlefield hastily. At that way, you are not in a good condition. A good general would force his enemy to enter his territory not forced to fight.
By the same principle, don’t give your enemy a chance to take rest. Don’t give them to recover themselves. Keep forcing to beat them.

Trick and Tactic

War depends on trick, we should put our real purpose concealed and make our opponent assume our action. When you are able to beat your enemy, pretend to be otherwise. When you are preparing, pretend to be otherwise.
Give a little chance for your enemy, lure them out and beat them up. Make them satisfied with themselves by pretending to be a weak, then beat them up. Use the misleading trick and appearance to make your enemy act according to your wish.
If your enemy is united, try to create disarray and make them split them. When your enemy is in a vulnerable position, perhaps your enemy is up to something. Becareful.
A good general won’t reveal his plans so that no spy will find out. He doesn’t need to explain his plans to all of his men. Considering the spy, communication among soldiers with the world outside should be minimized as much as possible.
You tactics should vary and flexible, like water, according to the circumstance of battlefield. Your tactics should not have a pattern. The best tactics is when everyone can see your step, but when the victory is in your hand, none can understand how do you do it.

Our Identity

If a thought that is based on identity has a chance to present violence, then where can we find the cure? we can find the cure in repression. for one reason, identity can be the source of happiness and warm as it can be the source of violence and terror, therefore, it is not fair to say that identity is harmful. In contrary, we have to understand that an aggressive identity can be fought by a power of competitive identity. Certainly, our identity, that could against one another, can encompass our union of humanity in a large space. Such understanding will bring us to another way in classifying people, that can prevent the manipulation of a certain model of classifying for aggressive interest.

A Hutu labor, who is from Kigali, perhaps feel a burden to consider himself as a Hutu, solely, and encouraged to kill Hutu. In fact, he's not only a Hutu but also a Rwanda, an African, a Labor, and a human. As the acknowledgement of our diversity identity with its various implication, there's also an urgent need to understand the role of choosing of certain identities obvious and relevance which is also diverse.
This is perhaps clear enough to understand that illusion of identity, above, got a support--which actually good intended, but damaging, instead--from distinguished thinkers and intellects . including, in between, communitarian who believe that our community identity is not solely the most important thing, but also that determines everything, as if it were the most precious gift.
In our normal life, we consider ourselves as a part of various communities--we become a part of those communities. Nationality, neighborhood, hometown, gender, social class, profession, hobby, habit, and a sort of make us become the part of various communities. Each community give us an unique identity. None of them can be considered as the absolute identity or sole identity for someone.
