Marxism-Leninism-Maoism

I see what the cartoon says (from Introducing Hegel), but would like to hear more about recognition.

Thoughts on this writing of Mao's?

It's about 45 minutes long or thereabouts.

"Oppose Stereotyped Party Writing"

Seems good for me as a Communications major.

I was just wondering about the application of Marx theory of economics in modern day. Considering globalization of production, labor, trade, commodities, and late stage capitalism. Found this read quite interesting. Although written in 2002 I believe it is a good brief look through that lens.

The author paper is written by University of Utah professor Hans G. Ehrbar.

Found from his university webpage: https://content.csbs.utah.edu/~ehrbar/

"There are three things to which we must pay attention in exercise: (1) perseverance, (2) concentration of all our strength, and (3) that it be savage and rude"

I recommend reading the whole thing - it isn't very long. I have personally incorporated Mao's advice on schedule/timing of exercise. Every morning I do 30 minutes of lifting (4 days a week) or yoga/tai chi (2 days a week) then I go on a 30 minute walk every night after dinner. And I take Saturday off. That's it. (obviously I enjoy hikes and my schedule is not set in stone but that is how I approach fitness now)

Here's my favorite passage:

Physical education not only strengthens the body but also enhances our knowledge. There is a saying: Civilize the mind and make savage the body. This is an apt saying. In order to civilize the mind one must first make savage the body. If the body is made savage, then the civilized mind will follow. Knowledge consists in knowing the things in the world, and in discerning their laws. In this matter we must rely on our body, because direct observation depends on the ears and eyes, and reflection depends on the brain. The ears and eyes, as well as the brain, may be considered parts of the body. When the body is perfect, then knowledge is also perfect. Hence one can say that knowledge is acquired indirectly through physical education. Physical strength is required to undertake the study of the numerous modern sciences, whether in school or through independent study. He who is equal to this is the man with a strong body; he who is not equal to it is the man with a weak body. The division between the strong and the weak determines the area of responsibilities each can assume.

Never would I have thought that freaking Mao of all people would get me to feel like exercising again.
