Welcome to the Willing Fields of
Bangladesh. What is
mine is yours and
what is yours is... yours.
Writer A Hannan, in describing the Government's open-arms policy towards oil companies
that have already ravaged other nations, summarized the Bangladeshi siren call
al@red ground work dreamer , no activists , only revolutionaries.
Maximize productivity and progressivness in life with the most miserable and limited
resources . 70% of the world's re-engineered resources or reproductions are being
consume by only 30% ( i'm afraid it might be lesser ) of all mankind ( no dumping of
statistic please , i believe in what i believe , we all know who we are ).
To maximize productivity and progressivness in life with available resources really boils
down to three domains , eg. cultural confidence , machinery and education . These three
domains must be within the reach for a certain portion of the masses and within the scope
of knowlege and understanding for the rest of the masses.
The main objective is to believe in and work with the impossible.
No grand plan or tactics.
Only piceces of scrap thoughts and ponders for you to paint them into your own
bigger picture.They apply to wherever or whatever land and culture we tends to speak
politely of or to when facing them.
1. Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age
"We advocate audacious professionalism and oppose the imposition of an environmental
duty of care. Nature should be developed to immediate personal and social advantage,
not held in stewardship supposedly in the name of future generations..."
2. Self-Confidence Key to Preserving Cultural Identity
"the problem of debt is somehow related to the lack of self-esteem and self-confidence
that we are suffering. It starts with our identity and culture."
"To many people, Africa is all about war and more war. Not that there is a shortage
of conflicts on the continent, but that is not all there is to Africa. However, to
shake off this rotten image, Africans, and the developing world in general, first have
to regain their self-confidence, according to the WSF conference on culture and
identity yesterday."
3. Rural Students Benefit from Computers, Solar Panels
"Páez and other teachers believe that these efforts are contributing to reducing the
technology gap between the countryside and the city, and are creating conditions so
that people are less likely to abandon rural areas.
We aspire to utilise these media, as soon as possible, as instruments of science
and of the art of instructing and educating," President Fidel Castro said recently.
4. The right to read , to learn , to devolop and to strengthen
"In effect, this allows U.S. copyright owners' rights to trump FTAA
countries' national sovereignty and domestic public policy priorities, and consumers
and technology developers in FTAA countries risk losing all of their existing rights
under their own national copyright laws..."
5. Our great victory in the war to resist u.s. aggression and aid korea and our future tasks
Selected Work of Mao Tse-tung : September 12, 1953
"Policies of benevolence are of two kinds. One is concerned with the people's
immediate interests. The other is concerned with their long-term interests, such as
resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea and building heavy industry. The first is
a policy of lesser benevolence and the second a policy of greater benevolence. Both
must be taken into consideration and it is wrong not to do so..."
6. U.S. IMPERIALISM IS A PAPER TIGER
Selected Work of Mao Tse-tung : July 14, 1956
"Everything is subject to change. The big decadent forces will give way to the small
new-born forces. The small forces will change into big forces because the majority of
the people demand this change. The U.S. imperialist forces will change from big to
small because the American people, too, are dissatisfied with their government..."
"It seems that the countries of the Americas, Asia and Africa will have to go on
quarrelling with the United States till the very end, till the paper tiger is destroyed
by the wind and the rain..."
"Our friends in Latin America, Asia and Africa are in the same position as we and are
doing the same kind of work, doing something for the people to lessen their oppression
by imperialism..."
"What use is imperialism? The Chinese people will have none of it, nor will the people
in the rest of the world. There is no reason for the existence of imperialism..."
7. On Growth and Imperialism
Selected Work of Che Guevara : August 8, 1961
"...seven regimental headquarters have become school campuses; twenty-seven barracks have
become schools; and all of this while there was danger of imperialistic aggression. The
Camilo Cienfuegos school campus at the present time has five thousand pupils from the
Sierra Maestra and is building units for twenty thousand pupils; we intend to build a similar
campus in every province; each school campus will be self-sufficient in food, thus initiating
the farm children in agricultural practices..."
1. About the IMF,the World Bank,your goverment and your intelligent people
this autor's note : for those students who claims that they are one who overthrows their corrupted
leaders and they are the one who create a new order for their nation and they also claim that
they are the only one who understand their country.But the truth of the matter is,they are just
a bunch of idiots who are the willing and free tools for the downfall of their own nation without
even us shooting a single bullet.
"Debt is an efficient tool. It ensures access to other peoples' raw materials and
infrastructure on the cheapest possible terms. Dozens of countries must compete for
shrinking export markets and can export only a limited range of products because of
Northern protectionism and their lack of cash to invest in diversification. Market
saturation ensues, reducing exporters' income to a bare minimum while the North enjoys
huge savings. The IMF cannot seem to understand that investing in ... [a] healthy,
well-fed, literate population ... is the most intelligent economic choice a country
can make..."
2. A better people,better students.
"A guest comes to visit, but instead of allowing us to be the hosts, a few thousand
American soldiers and an advance party lock us up in our houses and show the Government and
the people who's the boss!..."
3. Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age
"We advocate audacious professionalism and oppose the imposition of an environmental
duty of care. Nature should be developed to immediate personal and social advantage,
not held in stewardship supposedly in the name of future generations..."
4. The new socialism of fools?
"Once anti-capitalism was a programme of overturning the social order to
build a better one. Today's anti-corporatism aims only to hold the existing society
together by protecting the present against the future. Robbed of any ambition towards
progressive change, the new socialism of fools reverts to the backward-looking doctrine
of romantic conservatism."
5. Militarizing Space "to protect U.S. interests and investment"
"...These are the most optimistic projections. They make some sense. You can understand
them. It gives you a picture of what's planned for the world.There's nothing
irreversible about this. There is strong opposition around the world. But it's
going to take a fair amount of popular mobilization in the U.S. to reverse
these directions."
6. Zombie anti-imperialists vs the 'Empire'
"In the anti-war movement, young protesters reacting against the political leadership
offered by Bush, Blair and Berlusconi meet older radicals thrilled to find a new
audience for their well-rehearsed polemics against capitalism and imperialism.
Theories of a capitalist crisis, giving rise to Great Power rivalries and the
exploitation of the third world are being dusted off for a twenty-first century
audience..."
7. Hegel Dispirited: the reification of the Other
"The theory of the Other is in essence a revision of Hegel's 'Master-Slave dialectic'
It was from Hegel's account of the clash between Master and Slave that Simone De
Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre took the categorical opposition of Self and Other
and made it into an absolute...."
8. It's time to face down the environment lobby and build many more houses
"There is no natural shortage of land to build on, only an absence of will
to let it happen..."
9. Adventure Capitalism.A truth that everybody pretend it never happened
"...The Economy Plan goes boldly where no invasion plan has gone before: the
complete rewrite, it says, of a conquered state's "policies, laws and regulations." Here's
what you'll find in the Plan: A highly detailed program, begun years before the tanks rolled,
for imposing a new regime of low taxes on big business, and quick sales of Iraq's banks and
bridges?in fact, "ALL state enterprises" to foreign operators..."
1. Rural Students Benefit from Computers, Solar Panels
"Páez and other teachers believe that these efforts are contributing to reducing the
technology gap between the countryside and the city, and are creating conditions so
that people are less likely to abandon rural areas.
We aspire to utilise these media, as soon as possible, as instruments of science
and of the art of instructing and educating,? President Fidel Castro said recently."
2. Poor quality education.Who is to blame and must be rid off?
"Every child's right to schooling could be delivered if the world cared enough
to make it happen..."
"...In Ghana, for example, more than 20 organizations came together in March to launch a
nationwide campaign, focusing primarily on the rising costs of schooling in a country which
has been under the cosh of structural adjustment for two decades. ?No-one should be excluded
because they cannot pay, nor should the poor be condemned to poor-quality education,? said
keynote speaker Rev Dr Aboagye-Mensah..."
2. Why schools should use exclusively free software
"Free software encourages everyone to learn. The free software community rejects the
"priesthood of technology", which keeps the general public in ignorance of how technology
works..."
4. The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception
Selected Work of Theodor Adorno (1944)
"All are free to dance and enjoy themselves, just as they have been free, since the historical
neutralisation of religion, to join any of the innumerable sects. But freedom to choose an
ideology - since ideology always reflects economic coercion - everywhere proves to be freedom
to choose what is always the same."
5. The Archĉology of Knowledge
Selected Work of Michel Foucault (1969)
"For many years now historians have preferred to turn their attention to long periods, as if,
beneath the shifts and changes of political events, they were trying to reveal the stable,
almost indestructible system of checks and balances, the irreversible processes, the constant
readjustments, the underlying tendencies that gather force, and are then suddenly reversed
after centuries of continuity, the movements of accumulation and slow saturation, the great
silent, motionless bases that traditional history has covered with a thick layer of events..."
6. Classes and Classifications
Selected Work of Pierre Bourdieu (1979)
"Commonplaces and classificatory systems are thus the stake of struggles between the
groups they characterize and counterpose, who fight over them while striving to turn
them to their own advantage."
7. The Public Library of Science (PLoS)
"Our mission of building a public library of science includes not only providing
unrestricted access to scientific research ideas and discoveries, but developing
tools and materials to engage the interest and imagination of the public and helping
non-scientists to understand and enjoy scientific discoveries and the scientific process..."
