How Will We Be Remembered?

[Nobody]

I always wonder, after the Revolution will we be remembered as heros of the working class, who kept the torch of Marxism alive, or a bunch of useless, internet theroists who did nothing to further the cause? I hope someday there is a momunment to all the members of che-lives and other internet foroums were we discussed and kept the dream alive. But I doubt it, we probley will not be remembered at all. Oh well.

And if we aren't? If you are here for immortality, that meglomanical (umm if that wasn't a words I hereby commission it one) goal, I suggest you rethink your politics.

megalomania. (n)

Etymology: New Latin, circa 1890

1 : a mania for great or grandiose performance.

2 : a delusional mental disorder that is marked by infantile feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur.

p.s./ Personally, I don't want to be remebered. I am not a unique snowflake.

Historians are a fickle lot and the "giant" of recent history may turn into a footnote several generations hence.

What I think future historians will have a difficult time avoiding is the role played by the internet in the spread of sophisticated political consciousness; ideas and information that were formerly available only to scholars here and there are now available (if still difficult to locate) to 400,000,000 people and the total is rising rapidly.

I don't see how that can not have a major impact of 21st century revolutionary movements.

So while it is unlikely that there will be a "monument" to Che-Lives, there might be a few statues of "nerds" sitting at an old-fashioned terminal.

A dubious honor, to be sure. Monuments of any kind are generally just places for pigeons to shit on.

:cool:

Me as an induhival (Dilbert Spelling) be remembered, of course not, we as a "class" of people, read internet junkies debating Marxism, maybe. I am not out for personal glory, just the glory of the workingclass.

I believe it is of no matter whether we are remembered or not. If we just do things we are proud of it is as good as it gets. But I don't think as we are going to be remembered as the huge internet theorists that made the world a true utopia!

First of all, no one's going to remember a bunch of anonymous people from the internet, you've got to go out there and DO SOMETHING if you want to be remembered, and even that might not work :-P

Do you think we would be remembered if it all went wrong? I bet we would take some blame then.

Personally I want to be a person remembered thru the Tag SlimJin and my real name. The man who was apart of the forces that changed the world! I really have no care for the such mentioned before all I want is change and to know I was apart of it! I am sure Our Great Che viewed it the same way! Viva Che y La Revolucion!!!
