I'm a HS English teacher. Currently teaching Julius Caesar by Shakes. Of course I've read it before and a hundred times at that, but every time I do I still come back with new quotes from it that I love.

Some current favorites:

"As Caesar loved me, I weep for him. As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was valiant, I honor him. But, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honor for his valor, and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak—for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak—for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak—for him have I offended. I pause for a reply." - Brutus orating at Caesar's funeral.

This quote is a perfect illustration of Brutus as a character. He comes from a family known for ousting dictators in favor of the republic and Roman values. He's respected as honorable and reasoned throughout the community. And he's honest to a point of political failure. He lays out the actual reasons for his participation in the assassination and expects that the vulgar populace will rise to his line of reasoning and not be swayed by what he might see as sentimentality.

"If I could pray to move, prayers would move me." - Caesar chastising Cassius for debasing himself and begging Caesar for Cimber's enfranchisement.

This is just a badass thing to say to one who begs. He's essentially saying "If I were the type of lowly person who would beg others for what I want, then I might have some sympathy for your lowly begging now. But I am not, and therefore do not." It also displays that classic Shakespearean repetitive syntax: "...I... pray to move, prayers would move me". each repetition uses essentially the same words, but with slight alterations to the object and tense, means something completely different. it sounds great. truly poetry.

"Speak, hands, for me!" - Casca as he makes the first strike against Caesar.

The various senators are entreating Caesar to do something that they know in their heart of hearts he would never do. And they are doing so to provoke some sort of arrogant reaction out of Caesar so that they'll feel justified in assassinating him. They're also caught up in the moment--just a minute ago their plan was nearly revealed to Caesar. They may feel as though if they hesitate any longer, then they will lose their chance to be rid of Caesar. Each Senator is attempting to "persuade"/distract/provoke Caesar with his words, and finally Casca "speaks" with his hands by plunging a dagger into Caesar's shoulder. What a fantastic assassination cry. Speak, hands, for me! Casca has had it with attempting to use words to quell Caesar's magnanimous personality.

ya and his shit is the circular reasoning fallacy.

he is already presupposing that the "correct" interpretation of marxist economics results in anti-communist thought in order to make the claim that "those who understand" will lend themselves to that interpretation, and that it is therefore the correct interpretation.

P1 correct economic analysis is anti-communist
P2 x people hold the view P1
P3 x people are correct in their holding of view P1

C1 therefore correct economic analysis is anti-communist

circular bullshit

I don't know. If anything, communist revolutionaries operate on the same principles as bootstrap capitalists. You start off with nothing, use your advantages to gain leverage and acquire power and wealth, then use that power and wealth to maintain said position. It's just that capitalists do it by financially destroying and replacing those who hold the wealth and power, and communists do it by dragging them into the street and shooting them.

Honestly, one doesn't seem more valid than the other. It's just economic vs. political "might makes right". And if you believe in one, by extension you believe in the other.

China is bumpin, the USSR was the #2 super power for decades, Cuba is doing just fine. You might say "but those aren't really communists because etc. etc.", but that's not the point. When I say "effective", I mean effective in seizing power and wealth for the people involved. The people get the shaft regardless of the system, and hey, fuck 'em--start your own company or revolution. But as far as gaining and acquiring power and wealth, both are very effective.

Honestly? Probably. It's a bit stupid to insinuate otherwise. That's why capitalism survived and communism (mostly) didn't. The illusion that you have a chance. Because if there's one thing people don't understand, it's probabilities. Make the leash long enough and you don't feel it anymore.

Because the Soviet Union took great pains to ensure a lack of social mobility, while the US takes great pains to ensure the illusion of it. Neither of them were perfect successes, but they both got pretty good. And you genuinely can move up a couple brackets in the US with an education and a bit of dumb luck, so it's not impossible. Just negligibly unlikely for most average citizens. It's like the lottery. Ten million people will keep playing the game as long as every now and then somebody wins it.
