Revolution, Rebellion, and Resistance Each

Revolution, Rebellion, And Resistance Each One Teach One: Communist Influence in Social Resistance The theme of focus: Revolution, Rebellion and Resistance has been suitably demonstrated throughout the vast duration of history, particularly in regards to the past 200 years.

Accordingly, one can make a very valid argument that the history of sedition throughout the world has been building towards the development of the communist class struggles which were widely predicted and even enacted during key moments in the 20th century during well documented events such as the Russian Revolution and the uprising spearheaded by Mao Tse-tung in China.

Several communist and even socialist offerings of text reveal that such overthrows of imperialist governments in favor of ones led (in theory, at least) both for and by the common people were inevitable due to certain conditions of labor, human nature, private property, and definitions of wealth which are not readily apparent to the unlearned reader of such literature. Therefore, the theme of focus of Revolution, Rebellion and Resistance has been significantly affected and developed by socialist/communist doctrine.

One of the most revealing facets of this doctrine which was widely influential in the shaping of this particular historical theme of focus was the treatment of labor as one of the essential needs for revolution throughout man's progress on this planet. Nearly all of Karl Marx's writing dealing with communism and socialism underscore this point, and are therefore invaluable historical sources regarding the archival and even future class struggles for social resistance.

The following quotation from 1844's Economic & Philosophical Manuscripts, which was particularly helpful in illustrating this theme of focus, evidences the alienating influence of labor and its causes to insurrection. "A direct consequence of the estrangement of the humans from the product of their labor, from their life-activity, from their species-being, is the estrangement of humans from humans.

When a human confronts himself as a stranger, so he confronts another human as a stranger." It should be noted that the author's reference to the estrangement of labor is an allusion to human laborers merely existing as the product of their labor, which is the cause for them to become alienated from themselves and from other people. Once people cannot relate to others as human beings, exploitation soon occurs in addition to a need to overthrow the few who have traditionally benefitted from the exploitation of the many.

As such, one of the most pivotal historical moments from 1500 to 1900 would have to be the formulation of the ideologies, principles, and tenets which comprise communism. Such principles have as much to do with labor as they do with private property, which Marx explains are inherently dependant on one another since one of the benefits of labor is the creation and maintenance of private estates, typically not enjoyed by the common worker.

The following quote from the same source elucidates the value of Communism in providing a universal panacea for these and other effects of imperialist, capitalist societies.

"Communism is the positive supersession of private property as human self-estrangement, and hence the true appropriation of the human essence through and for man; it is the complete restoration of man to himself as a social -- i.e., human -- being…" The value of Communism, and therefore its historical and possibly contemporary need for its enactment throughout the violent means of revolution, is readily apparent in this quotation.

The primary reason is denoted by the curative effects it is supposed to have on the humanity and essence of mankind, which had certainly suffered from a pattern of repression of such humane values during the epoch of 1500 to 1900. The understanding of this effect and positive influence of communism leads.
