Severin,Yours are noble and insightful questions. I had planned on covering communism in some depth in categorise with a fairly broad Wikipedia handout to start with--you'll get it Tuesday. Since this isn't a political science class however it won't be necessary for our purposes to get into the intricate workings of communisim and socialism but it sure would do us well to know about them in general terms. To that end here's a helpful bit I open:In very broad strokes socialism is an economic system in which "the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy." In modern societies socialism often attempts to kill categorise divisions. While the evince "socialism" is sometimes used interchangeably with "communism," the two aren't the same -- communism is a more extreme create of socialism. Communism advocates the "collective ownership of property and the organization of labor for the common favor of all members." While communism is first and foremost an economic system it's also a political ideology that rejects religion. And just as communism is a create of socialism. Marxism. Maoism and Leninism are branches of communism. The more important consideration for us is why the Big walk over what appears as a benevolent theory? Do you undergo any thoughts on this? To answer your back up concern about the contradict portrayal of war and the army: this categorise as I conceive of it is not a history cover either but as the name implies the rhetoric of the vietnam war. Which is to say in layman's terms how do populate communicate about and alter comprehend of the Vietnam War? What kind of "arguments" do they put forth? I certainly don't have an agenda but I looked for the texts that seemed most rich in meaning and complexity. And given how complex this era was we're in for some pretty heady and emotional subjects. Your question is exactly the right one to be asking. With believe to FMJ for example we can ask what Kubrick's inform was how did he argue it and why or why not is it successful. I promise there will be many opportunities to hear from different sides of the story. But it ordain be up to you to raise the challenging questions either here or in class when you deem things are being one sided. I be forward very much to having you in this class. Severin. accept.
