Analysis # 4 (Marxism)

I have to disagree with the theory of Marxism. We are not what we make. We as humans go beyond that idea. The human is capable of anything. And I mean anything. We have created the working class and the capitalist. We allow capitalist to treat working class with less respect and make more money then the working class. But have we ever stopped and wondered what the Capitalist would do without the working class? Struggle! Yes struggle, because we are and do what there money provides us to do. If we were treated equally and with equally I mean with respect and not looked down upon because of our hourly wage, then this world would be a better place. Capitalism wouldn’t be the way it is today, out of control and overwhelming. Marxist thinking claims that Capitalists and Workers are in a constant state of struggle, which is called Materialist Dialectic. But are they both in trouble. Doesn’t the capitalist pressure and lower the wages of the working class to make more profit? Marxism do says that in order for capitalists to make profit, and to double their profit, they have to lower the wages of workers as much as possible. And on the other hand working class has to struggle to keep their wages up if not try to make sure they don’t get a decrease in pay. This my friends is called class struggle. Sad but true and we still see this very notion continue till this very day.

Analysis # 3- (Fetishism)

Fetishism, do all men have it? Do they hide it? After doing some research on fetishism, I came to understand how fetishes come about. According to Fraud, fetishes usually develop when we are young, and when we feel the need to substitute what we feel with a particular object or body part. Majority of the fetishes are sexual and I think this is very interesting. I have yet to meet someone that has a fetish with something other then sex and or a sexual desire or body part.

            For Fraud, the fetish is a penis substitute. Is it really? Well in order to have a fetish with something you have to have sexual obsession with an object where you can’t get off without thinking about, touching it, and or looking at it. So does it become a penis substitute? Well now it makes more sense. If one has a fetish then there are incapable of doing what others do without there preferred object and or preference around. Because it is the center of there sexual obsession, the fetish controls the person.

            Fetishes are usually found in males. I do not know a single woman with a fetish, though when I did research online, I was able to find a tone of sexual fetish websites when people virtually pay money to watch others do and play out what there sexual fetish is. Because “usually they are quite satisfied with it, or even praise the way in which it eases their erotic life, it is very difficult if not impossible to over come a fetish. “It reveals itself so naturally and seemed to me so compelling” that one does not even know they might even have a fetish and “we do not know those which are decisive for the rare pathological result.” Therefore be careful you never know who might be looking at your feet and/or other body parts. :)
