Stalin says "one death is a tragedy, one million deaths is a statistic". One death is tragic, personalised, it has a name. On the other hand, a million deaths are faceless, easier to swallow for the masses who are tuned in to the crisis or war. Those deaths are just as tragic, but rendered less so by the fact that we can't possibly imagine all those lives slipping away. We cannot think in or conceive such large terms or numbers, it is too overwhelming. Stalin killed approximately 20 millions Russians. There he dismisses those deaths as unimportant in the face of his campaign of power. Such words also make sense when contextualised with the U.N.'s "just war" concept. Do they happen to care how many die? We think not. Their goal is to police the world on their terms, regardless of the number of deaths. Canadians penetrated Iraq in an effort to keep "peace". This duty has become a cleanup of American devastation. Although there has been recent revolt against this, it mostly passed subtly thanks to the approval from the Empire. If we are to take this new knowledge to the next level, we must find a way to govern our planet effectively. One approach to this is an independent third party. Someone unbiased and uninfluenced by this planet's money would be a good candidate. Our governments could report to the independent third party for it to make uninfluenced suggestions. We believe the ideal implementation of this anti-empire is an alien race charged with managing our planet. Visions of the world will always be affected by social class. This is important in Marxist theory. The bourgeois class is more educated while the proletariat find it difficult to climb this ladder. This is not only a social problem, it is faced by many who wish to pursue post-secondary education. Foucault analyses the whole of society. In the video shown in class, it is normal that the two philosophers project different opinions as they come for different sociopolitical backgrounds. In the movie Equilibrium, everyone has to take a pill to eliminate their emotions and supervise them, make them more controllable. The society dominates all on earth. We mention this movie because, in the text, they mention that "the formation of a new right is inscribed in the deployment of prevention, repression, and rhetorical force aimed at the reconstruction of social equilibrium: all this is proper o the activity of police.".
In fact, is it possible that comtemporary society should revert to living without Empires like the UN in an effort to develop more humanly?
