Nobita Nobi is a normal fourth grade student. This all changes, however, when a blue robotic cat appears from his desk drawer. Calling himself Doraemon, this robot tells Nobita that his future descendants from the 22nd century live in poverty because of all the mistakes he made. Therefore, they have sent Doraemon to serve as a guide and mentor to Nobita, so that their future may change for the better. What Doraemon comes to learn, though, is that Nobita is the weakest and laziest student in the whole school.
To assist in his quest, Doraemon has a four-dimensional pocket with him, in which he keeps various machines and gadgets from the future. Unfortunately, these often result in even more trouble for Nobita. Will Doraemon really be able to achieve his mission of changing Nobita, or will he remain as he is?
Clear all of your previous jaundice, because Doraemon is not as clear and transparent as it would seem on the surface; it should not be simply considered as another anime on par with the pace of all of the classics of anime. With its immensely large number of episodes, and the repetitiveness of its plot line in line with flat characters that hardly undergo any change, it is easy to assume that the anime is simply about the numerous different gadgets that Doraemon brought back from the future. To change your perspective, you only need an open mind, then you will see the truth as clear as daylight.
To begin, as much as you wish to believe that Doraemon is about a ne'er do well named Nobita and how his life changed for good from the arrival of Doraemon, the plot of Doraemon actually revolves around the fact that Nobita is a boy suffering from a severe mental disability, and all of the characters, including Doraemon, are the product of his imagination. In real life, Nobita would be a little boy on his deathbed who imagined the entire series in order to keep himself entertained and to ease his pain and depression.
From this perspective, the entire series of Doraemon now becomes a series about the different sensations of human life that the little boy would've felt had he not fallen into a mental disability. Every time Nobita becomes depressed in the story because he was bullied by Gian or Suneo, he is probably suffering pain from his mental disease; Gian and Suneo are simply the manifestation of his illness. Every gadget Doraemon pulls out of his pouch in order to save Nobita is a manifestation of something in real life used to relieve him of his pain; or rather, it may be the surgical tools of a doctor, since sometimes the gadgets cause him pain if Nobita goes overboard with them.
The settings also provide concrete evidence to the truth behind the series. The mental capabilities of a child is much greater than that of an adult, yet it is not all powerful; it is not able to create objects that he has never seen. Therefore we see that the neighborhood inside Nobita's imagination is very small, with a sparse number of houses and even more sparse the types of people that can be met. For example, we can only see Japanese people in the neighborhood, there is hardly any foreigners. Furthermore, when Nobita is walking around, we almost always only see blank walls, side-walks, and telephone poles; when Nobita is flying, we can only see the clouds in the sky and numerous trees and houses, with many of the same structural build-up. There are hardly any miscellaneous people or things walking around, in accordance with the fact that Nobita's imagination can only support what it considers as important.
Now, a little bit about the series itself. At this point, if you continue to believe that Doraemon is about how Nobita's life changed for the better because of the arrival of Doraemon, you will continue to enjoy Doraemon only as a remnant of a great series of memories, and possibly, a great childhood. However, considering the complexities of the plot as analyzed, Doraemon is actually a chilling insight to how the mind will react when driven to extremities of solitude. It is painful to consider how lonely and hopeless it must be for a child on his sickbed without being looked after by a friend, and possibly abandoned by his family for good. With this in mind, the boy now proceeds to indulge in escapism in order to run away from all of the emotional and physical pain that he is experiencing. We laugh at how silly it is, and gaze in wonder at the impressive gadgets that Doraemon can pull out of his pouch, yet behind the facade of happiness and wonder, behind the cover of the moral lessons, behind the desire and personality of an ordinary school boy, there exists a background of such darkness, such that in rereading the series, one cannot help but wonder at how strong a fortitude a child can possess.
if only it would come true.
A children's anime at best. I watched Doraemon as a child and as much as I loved it back then, I still love it now. Every thing is just cliche, but the endings are always so funny and classic. There isn't anything else I love more than watching Doraemon. I'm probably insane when my friends ask me what my favorite anme is, and I say Doraemon.
but really, this is a good anime that teaches children lessons, and probably a classic if you enjoy classics. It's a long anime, sure, but worth it. Every episode is completely stand alone, and easy to pick up, easy to put down without being confused because there really is no story in each of them.
A journey of growth requires more patience than we actually deem. Years and decades will pass, and one shall grow your manly or effeminate physique. One would grow and ripe into its prime, and one would think: I am not what I am before.
To think that life is fleeting as a one-time exclusive sojourn, we cannot go back on the places we have went. The feelings of childhood remains, sometimes unfortunately being repressed in the deepest of slumber within our minds, and we seem to forget the sensations of childhood and its glory.
We deem that the stimuli which titillate our puerile bodies cannot do the same with the matured. We deem that the child's favor of things is shallow and insignificant, but little did we recognize that there is nothing shallow nor deep; a thing is but a thing.
And on a critique of something, we scrutinize our own experiences and perspectives; we look either at the rose-tinted lens of nostalgia, or with a naked critical eye. The world we see today is not the world yesterday, and thus we cannot derive our own judgments of what we had seen on that day.
I may not see this show with glee today, because I am not that boy who have watched the show itself; but my mind tells me, that this show has a place in my heart, because the mind, the body, and the loins might have developed, but the soul, this heart of mine, is still the same as on that younger day.
I cannot expound more as I cannot make my judgment as lucid as pure water. Doraemon has made my childhood, and nothing more.
Doraemon is a cat... A Robot Cat from the future who is very, VERY HANDY at all times thanks to his Special Pocket on his stomach that has tons and tons of tools and equipment to use to solve everything that is a problem.
Then, there's that spoiled little kid named Nobita, who is a very annoying little boy who always fails when it come to their school test and quizzes and what's worst is that, he is a very lazy kid and he has always been a victim of being scolded by his mother. In Doraemon's case. Nobita always wants to "borrow" something to Doraemon to do something silly, but Doraemon, most of the time, refuses to because he doesn't trust Nobita for doing something using his tools. But when Nobita sometimes baits him by giving him Doraemon's food, or when Nobita then throws tantrums, Doraemon has no other choice but to force himself to gave it to Nobita. But most of the time, even though Nobita is somewhat silly, he's still a kind person and he do his best to use Doraemon's equipment for good measures.
Doraemon (1979) is one of my childhood memories from early 2000s and this anime introduces me into the world of anime. When I was a kid, I always watch this show every morning, with the other anime line-ups after that, like Detective Conan, Pokemon, even the 90s animes like Voltes V, Dragon Ball Z and Daimos. Everyday, after that morning show which ends in around 8:30am, this anime is the appetizer for my Monday to Friday morning anime. Especially when my Mom is cooking for our breakfast, this anime is my waiting shed.
Doraemon is very hilarious at times, nothing more and nothing less. It has also some important lessons of each episode which is great for all children to enjoy.
Although I didn't watch the original Japanese Dub, the Filipino Dub version here in the Philippines is quite great though. Especially when one of the characters in Doraemon, Takeshi Goda, or Gian, is alias here in the Philippines is "Damulag", literally translates into "Giant" or "Water Buffalo", which is quite a hilarious name for the guy like him.
Anyways, enough with the drama, if you saw this anime, whatever that time is... You better judge it yourself. This anime is awesome and funny... And I recommend you to watch this anime! I'll definitely say this anime is fantastically spectacular!


YOU DON'T LOOK A DAY OVER 149! In honor of Chippewa Falls' 150 anniversary, this summer's Pure Water Days will have a "History of Chippewa Falls" theme.
March will bring the kick-off of a year-long celebration of the Chippewa Falls sesquicentennial – or, more pronouncably, the city's 150th anniversary. The logging-turned-tech town was granted a charter by the Legislature in 1869. Citizens are taking every opportunity to go big in 2019, with the city, the Heyde Center for the Arts, Main Street Chippewa Falls, the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, the Chamber of Commerce, and other local organizations and businesses collaborating to bring the party.
The Heyde Center will host one of the first events of the celebration March 25, on the actual anniversary of Chippewa Falls' founding. The venue will host the Wayward Players as they perform songs from local playwright Jerry Way's Chippewa Falls 1869: The Musical. It's a story about the signing of the proclamation that marked the city's birth, with actors in period costume. The Chippewa County Historical Society will have books about the city on sale, and an exhibit of artifacts from the early 1800s on display. Complimentary snacks and beverages will be available during the event, which runs 5-8pm.
The full play will hit the stage the following Thursday at the Heyde Center with 7:30pm shows March 28-30 – which will be preceded by a 6:30pm dinner catered by Karl's BBQ Express – and a 2pm matinee March 31. The play will touch on the struggles and successes of the young Chippewa Falls, which suffered a flood, a fire, and even a logging war.
"We've gone through some tough times, we've gone through some fantastic times," Mayor Hoffman said. "To me, (the sesquicentennial) is the cherry on top of the chocolate sundae, because I have the opportunity to be here as we go through the 150th." He is looking forward to seeing the milestone celebrated into the summer with the arrival of Pure Water Days, with Rockin' the Chippewa Riverfront's live music event, and more.
Jackie Boos, tourism director for the Chippewa Falls Chamber of Commerce, is working on putting together an online landing page for all of the year's celebratory events, which will be released mid-March. There, locals and visitors alike will be able to find out more about the events involved with the 150th anniversary.
The Northern Wisconsin State Fair will get in on the action with sesquicentennial flavor July 10-14. Pure Water Days, now in its 43rd year, will be themed "History of Chippewa Falls," in honor of the city's birthday. The Aug. 10 parade, which often features more than 70 floats, will begin at the corner of North Bridge and Cedar streets, and lead spectators down to Riverfront Park for RiverFest, where live music, vendors, and activities will be available. More events will be announced throughout the year.

"In the final analysis even our great differences, as they are transmuted into the stuff of history, largely drop from the scales whilst the brilliant aspects of Plekhanov's character will endure forever."
Georgi Valentinovich Plekhanov
I have few personal recollections of Georgii Valentinovich. Our meetings were infrequent, although they were not devoid of significance, and I gladly record my memories of him.
In 1893 I left Russia for Zurich, as I felt that I could only acquire the education I needed by going abroad. My friends the Lindfors gave me a letter of introduction to Pavel Alexandrovich Axelrod.
Axelrod and his family received me with delightful hospitality. By then I was a more or less convinced Marxist and considered myself a member of the Social Democratic party (I was eighteen and had begun work as an agitator and propagandist two years before going abroad). I am very much indebted to Axelrod for my education in socialism and, however far apart he and I may have moved subsequently, I look upon him with gratitude as one of my most influential teachers. Axelrod was full of awe and reverence for Plekhanov and spoke of him with adoration. This, added to the impression of brilliance that I had already gained from reading Our Differences [1] and various other articles by Plekhanov, filled me with an uneasy, disturbing sense of expectation at the prospect of meeting this great man.
At last Plekhanov came from Geneva to Zurich, brought there by a dispute among the Polish socialists on the nationality question. The nationally-minded socialists in Zurich were headed by Jodko. [2] Our future comrades were led by Rosa Luxemburg [3], then a brilliant student at Zurich University. Plekhanov was to pronounce on the conflict. For some reason his train was late, so that my first sight of Plekhanov was destined to be slightly theatrical. The meeting had already begun; with rather wearisome emphasis Jodko had been defending his viewpoint for half an hour when into the Eintracht Hall strode Plekhanov.
That was twenty-eight years ago. Plekhanov must have been slightly over thirty. He was a well-proportioned rather slim man in an impeccable frock coat, with a handsome face made particularly striking by his brilliant eyes and – his most marked feature – by thick, shaggy eyebrows. Later at the Stuttgart Congress one newspaper spoke of Plekhanov as 'eine aristokratische Erscheinung'. Indeed in Plekhanov's appearance, in his diction, his tone of voice and his whole bearing there was the ineradicable stamp of the gentry – he was a gentleman from head to toe. This was apt to offend some people's proletarian instincts, but when one remembered that this gentleman was an extreme revolutionary and one of the pioneers of the workers' movement, Plekhanov's aristocratic air became something impressive and moving: 'Look what sort of people are on our side.'
I have no intention of writing a character-study of Plekhanov – that is a task for another occasion – but I would note in passing that in Plekhanov's very appearance and manner something made me, a young man, involuntarily think: Herzen [4] must have been like that.
Plekhanov sat down at Axelrod's table, where I was also sitting, but we exchanged no more than a few sentences.
Plekhanov's speech itself rather disappointed me, perhaps by contrast with Rosa's speech which was as sharp as a razor-blade and as brilliant as silver. When the loud applause for her speech had died down, old Greulich [5], even then gray-haired, even then looking like Abraham (I saw him, by the way, twenty-five years later looking almost as lively as he had on that occasion although, alas, by then neither he nor Plekhanov were progressive socialists) mounted the rostrum and said in a specially solemn tone: 'Now comrade Plekhanov will speak. He will speak in French. His speech will be translated but, my friends, please try and maintain absolute silence and follow his speech with attention.'
This appeal by the chairman for reverential silence and the huge ovation with which Georgii Valentinovich was greeted combined to move me to tears. A mere youth, which made it pardonable, I was extremely proud of my great fellow-countryman. But his speech, I repeat, rather disappointed me.
For political reasons Plekhanov wanted to adopt a midway position. As a Russian he obviously found it awkward to speak out against the Polish national spirit, although he was theoretically wholly on Rosa Luxemburg's side. At all events he emerged from this difficult situation with honour and with great skill, playing the part of the wise conciliator.
Georgii Valentinovich then stayed for several more days in Zurich and at the risk of seeming rude I lingered whole days at the Axelrods' to seize every possible chance of talking to him.
The opportunities were numerous. Plekhanov loved talking. I was a boy who was well-read, not unintelligent and extremely eager. In spite of my awe of Plekhanov I got on my high horse and, as it were, invited combat on various philosophical questions. Plekhanov liked this; sometimes he would deal playfully with me like a big dog with a puppy and would knock me on my back with an unexpected swipe of his great paw, sometimes he grew angry and sometimes he would expound his views with great earnestness.
Plekhanov was an absolutely incomparable conversationalist in the brilliance of his wit, the wealth of his knowledge, the ease with which he could mobilize the most enormous concentration of mental power on any subject. The Germans have a word 'geistreich' – rich of mind. It exactly describes Plekhanov.
I should mention that Plekhanov did not shake my faith in the great significance of 'left realism', i.e. Avenarius's [6] philosophy. He said jokingly to me: 'Let's talk about Kant instead, if you really want to flounder about in the theory of knowledge – he at least was a man.' Although Plekhanov was capable of dealing an intellectual knock-out blow on occasions, he was also prone to strike off-target.
However, these talks had an immeasurably great influence on me when Plekhanov dwelt on the great Idealist philosophers Fichte [7], Schellingb[8] and Hegel. [9]
Naturally I was already well aware of the enormous significance of Hegel in the history of socialism and of the impossibility of having a proper grasp of the Marxist philosophy of history without a sound acquaintance with Hegel.
Later Plekhanov was to accuse me in one of our public disputes of not having studied Hegel properly. Partly thanks to Plekhanov I had in fact read Hegel with some thoroughness, but I would have done so in any case, as befitted an aspiring socialist theoretician. Fichte and Schelling were another matter. I thought it quite adequate to have read about them in histories of philosophy, considering them to be a dead letter and not worth studying. Plekhanov, however, spoke of them with unexpected enthusiasm. Without for a moment relapsing into any heresy such as 'Back to Fichte!' (later proclaimed by Struve), he nevertheless held forth to me in such a fervent, glorious paean to Fichte and Schelling as the architects of a monumental philosophical edifice that I immediately ran to the Zurich national library and plunged into reading the works of those great Idealists, who were to leave such a stamp not only on my whole philosophical outlook but indeed on my entire personality.
It is a great shame that Plekhanov did no more than touch on the Idealist philosophers. He knew them exhaustively, indeed with astonishing exactitude, and could have written a book on them which would certainly have been no less brilliant than his book on the materialist precursors of Marxism. It is true, I think, that in Plekhanov's undoubtedly rather Bazarov-like mind, of the forerunners of Marxism his favourites d'Holbach [10] and Helvetius [11] were dearer to him than the Idealists. But anyone who imagined that he ignored that other great root of Marxism would be doing Plekhanov an injustice.
Georgii Valentinovich suggested that I should visit him to continue our talks; but it was a year or so before I was able to go to Geneva from Paris. Those, too, were happy days. Georgii Valentinovich was then writing his foreword to the Communist Manifesto and had become very interested in art. I had always been passionately interested in it and consequently the chief theme of our talks was the dependence of the cultural superstructure on the economic base of society, especially where art was concerned. I used to meet him in his study in the rue de Candole and sometimes in the Cafe Landolt where we would spend hours over many a mug of beer.
I remember one incident which made a tremendous impression on me. Plekhanov was pacing up and down his study explaining something. Suddenly he walked over to a cupboard, took out a large album, laid it on the table in front of me and opened it. It contained some wonderful engravings by Boucher, extremely frivolous and – by my standards of those days – almost pornographic; I at once said something to that effect, that here was a typical indication of the decadence of a ruling class on the eve of revolution.
'Yes,' said Plekhanov, looking at me with his glittering eyes, 'but look how superb they are – what style, what life, what elegance, what sensuality.'
I shall not attempt to record the rest of the conversation – it would mean writing a minor treatise on rococo art. I can only say that Plekhanov more or less anticipated all of Hausenstein's main conclusions, although I do not recall him telling me exactly whether or not Boucher's art was fundamentally a bourgeois art that had been merely transplanted into a framework of court life.
To me his aesthetic perception was astounding – his powers of judgement on matters of art were wide-ranging and unprejudiced. Plekhanov's taste was, I think, infallible. On any work of art that he disliked he could express himself in two words, with an absolutely lethal irony which totally disarmed you if you happened to disagree with him. About works of art which pleased him Plekhanov spoke with such precision, at times with such excitement that it became obvious why he was an influential writer on the history of art. His relatively modest studies, dealing only with a few periods, have become one of the cornerstones of subsequent work in that field.
From no book, from no museum, have I ever gained so much stimulation and insight as from those talks of mine with Georgii Valentinovich.
Unfortunately our subsequent meetings took place in rather less happy circumstances, where we encountered each other as political enemies.
I did not meet Plekhanov again until the Stuttgart Congress. The Bolshevik delegation had appointed me their official representative on the very important committee set up to work out the Party's policy towards the trades unions. Plekhanov represented the Mensheviks. At the very start a dispute arose within the Russian delegation. The majority voted for our viewpoint and the waverers eventually swung over to our side. The matter was in no sense a personal victory of mine over Plekhanov: he defended his thesis brilliantly, but the thesis itself was unacceptable. Plekhanov insisted that close alliance between the Party and the trades unions might be detrimental to the Party, that the task of the trades unions was to improve the workers' lot within the capitalist system whereas the Party's task was to destroy that system itself. He advocated independence. The opposing tendency was headed by the Belgian De Brouckere. [12] (De Brouckere was then a very left-wing socialist whose thinking had much in common with ours, although he was later to deviate.) De Brouckere stood for the need to penetrate the trade-union movement with a socialist consciousness of the indissoluble unity of the working class, the guiding role of the Party and so on. In the reigning atmosphere of heated discussion of the general strike as a fighting weapon, everyone was tending to reconsider their previous views. We were all aware that parliamentarism was becoming a more and more inadequate weapon, that without the trades unions the Party would never accomplish the revolution and that after the revolution the trades unions were bound to play a major part in rebuilding a new world. As a result, Plekhanov's attitude, represented at the international level by Guesde [13], was ultimately rejected both by our committee and by the Congress itself.
To my surprise I detected a certain trace of the 'Old Believer' in Plekhanov's political attitudes. For the first time his orthodoxy seemed slightly ossified and it occurred to me that politics were far from being Plekhanov's strong suit. One might have deduced this in any case from the way in which he wavered between one and the other of the Party's two main factions.
We next met at the Stockholm Congress, where this characteristic behaviour of Plekhanov's became all too evident. He was far from being a convinced Menshevik at this congress. In part his aim was conciliationist. He stood for Party unity (this was, after all, the 'Unification' congress) and maintained that if revolutionary feeling were to increase in Russia the Mensheviks would find no allies except from the ranks of the Bolsheviks. On the other hand he was frightened by the rigidity of the Bolsheviks' position. In his opinion Bolshevism was not orthodox. Indeed the main feature which differentiated the two factions at that time was their policy on the peasantry.
The scheme of the revolution as the Mensheviks envisaged it was as follows: a bourgeois revolution was in progress in Russia, which would culminate in a constitutional monarchy, or at best in a bourgeois republic. The working class should support the protagonists of this capitalist revolution, simultaneously wresting from them positions of advantage for their future task of opposition and – ultimately – of revolution. It was assumed that there would be a considerable time-lag between the bourgeois revolution and the socialist revolution.
Comrade Trotsky held the view that both revolutions, although they might not coincide, were so inter-connected that we would face a situation of 'permanent revolution'. Starting with a seizure of power by bourgeois political forces, the Russian people would enter a revolutionary period; along with it the rest of the world, too, would not emerge from this period until the total completion of the social revolution. It is undeniable that in formulating these views comrade Trotsky showed great prescience, although his timing was wrong by fifteen years.
Incidentally I should point out that in a leading article in New Life I also outlined the possibility of a seizure of power by the proletariat and of the retention, under proletarian control, of a form of capitalism which would rapidly evolve towards socialism. I described a situation remarkably similar to our present NEP [14], but I was given a telling-off by L.B. Krasin [15] who found my article ill-advised and un-Marxist.
The Bolsheviks, with comrade Lenin at their head, were in fact extremely cautious; they held that there were no signs of the proletarian social revolution having begun, but they thought that this revolution had to be encouraged as much as possible without engaging in any theoretical guesswork and prediction, which were foreign to Vladimir Ilyich's nature. In practical terms the Bolsheviks advanced confidently along the correct path. To bring about a plebeian revolution, a revolution similar to the French Revolution that could be taken even further than '93, an alliance with the bourgeoisie was useless: consequently our tactics demanded a break with the bourgeoisie. But we had no intention of isolating the proletariat, for whom we envisaged the enormous task of organizing an alliance with the peasantry, above all with the poor peasantry. Plekhanov was incapable of understanding this. Addressing Lenin he said: 'This new idea of yours sounds a pretty ancient one to me!' Why 'ancient'? Because it seemed to be borrowing the worn-out policy of the SRs and to cause us to abandon our characteristic emphasis on the proletariat.
Plekhanov's failure to comprehend our standpoint should not be lightly dismissed as being no more than a typical example of his blinkered super-orthodoxy. Were we not, in the course of our great revolution, once obliged to include some SRs, even if left SRs, in our government, and was this move entirely free of danger ? Are we not delighted now that the childish policies of the left SRs themselves have caused their severance from the government? The fears of a 'peasantization' of the Soviet government, of which comrades Shlyapnikov [16], Kollontai [17] and others occasionally warn us, are unfounded, but the soil which nourishes them is clear to everybody. At the moment it is impossible to say with absolute certainty how a joint workers' and peasants' government will succeed, although everything appears to support comrade Lenin's predictions at the Party Congress that the huge deadweight of the peasantry which, once the plans for a political union of towns and country are completed, will have to be carried with us, is slowing down our movement; but it will never cause us to deviate from the straight and narrow path towards communism.
But all that lay then in the future. At the time, one thing was clear: the workers'-and-peasants' revolution is a proletarian revolution, a bourgeois-and-workers' revolution is a betrayal of the working class. To us this was clear, but not to Plekhanov. I remember that during a very biting speech by Plekhanov my neighbour in the next seat, Alexinsky [18], then a Bolshevik extremist, nearly boxed his ears but was stopped in time by comrade Sedoi [19], himself a pretty fiery character, who seized him by the coat-tails.
Alas, all that was to end much later in the miserable alliance between Alexinsky and Plekhanov.
It was at the Stockholm Congress that I moved a vote of censure against Plekhanov. My objection amounted to contrasting his view with that of another orthodox theoretician, Kautsky. [20] This was easy, because at that time Kautsky in his pamphlet The Motive Force of the Russian Revolution had shown himself to be in sympathy with us. But Plekhanov was particularly annoyed by my reply to his accusation of Blanquism [21], when I said that as far as practical notions of making and leading an actual revolution were concerned, he had apparently gathered his ideas from the operetta Mademoiselle Angot. In his final rejoinder Plekhanov said some very angry words.
Several more years went by and we met again at the Copenhagen international congress, when our hopes for the first Russian revolution had foundered. I attended the Copenhagen Congress as a representative of the Forward group with a consultative vote, but I had practically joined the Bolsheviks and they looked upon me as one of them; indeed they again empowered me to represent them on one of the most important committees – the committee dealing with the cooperatives. The same thing happened here. Plekhanov insisted on the strictest separation of the Party from the cooperatives, fearing contamination by the cooperatives' small-shopkeeper mentality.
I should mention that at the Copenhagen Congress Plekhanov was much closer to the Bolsheviks than to the Mensheviks. As far as I remember Vladimir Ilyich was not too interested in the cooperatives, but nevertheless the Russian delegation listened to my report on the committee and to Plekhanov's objections. Our differences were more or less parallel to those which had arisen between us at Stuttgart on the subject of the trades unions. On this occasion, however, Plekhanov had had little experience of the problem under discussion and there was no particular cause for a clash with him.
In spite of all this, we remained personally on very good terms. He invited me several times to his rooms, we would leave the congress meetings together and he enjoyed giving me his off-the-record impressions of the conference. Plekhanov had by then aged a great deal and was ill, so seriously ill in fact that we were all concerned about him. This did not stop him from being as sharp as ever, and making witty remarks to left and right, strongly biased though they were. He was fondest of all of the old guard. He spoke particularly warmly and graphically of Guesde and of Lafargue [22], who was already dead. I mentioned Lenin. Here Plekhanov fell silent and he replied to my enthusiasm in terms that were not exactly deprecatory – if anything they were sympathetic – but were somehow vague.
I remember how during a speech by Vandervelde [23] Plekhanov said to me: 'Isn't he exactly like an archdeacon?' His bon mot struck me so forcibly that to this day I cannot disentangle the image of an Orthodox deacon chanting the responses from the rhetorical fervour of that famous Belgian. I remember, too, in the course of a speech by Bebel how Plekhanov surprised me by the lapidary precision of his remark: 'Look at that old man – he has exactly the head of Demosthenes.' At once there arose before my mind's eye the famous statue of Demosthenes and the likeness seemed truly striking.
After the Copenhagen Congress I had to read a report on it at Geneva and at that meeting Plekhanov was my opponent. Later we arranged a few more discussion meetings, sometimes of a philosophical nature (for instance on a lecture by Deborin [24]) and there Plekhanov and I met again. I was extremely fond of having discussions with Plekhanov, despite their complexity and difficulty, but I will refrain from describing them here as I might appear rather one-sided.
After Plekhanov defected from the revolutionary cause, i.e. after his deviation into social-patriotism, I never saw him again.
This is not, I repeat, an attempt to draw a character-sketch of Plekhanov as a man, a thinker or a politician, but it is simply a contribution to the body of literature on Plekhanov drawn from my personal recollections. It may be that they are coloured rather subjectively, but a writer is inevitably subjective. Let the reader accept them as such. No one man, in any case, is capable of encompassing such a great figure with absolute objectivity. That monumental image can ultimately only be recreated from a host of varying opinions. But one thing I can state: Plekhanov and I often clashed, his printed remarks about me were largely negative and hostile, yet in spite of that my memory of Plekhanov is extraordinarily bright, it is a joy to recall those glittering eyes, that astounding intellectual agility, that greatness of spirit or, as Lenin put it, that physical force of his brain, that aristocratic forehead crowning a great democrat. In the final analysis even our great differences, as they are transmuted into the stuff of history, largely drop from the scales whilst the brilliant aspects of Plekhanov's character will endure forever.
In Russian literature Plekhanov stands close to Herzen, in the history of socialism he belongs to that constellation (Kautsky, Lafargue, Guesde, Bebel, old Liebknecht [25]) which revolves round those twin suns, Plekhanov's demigods of whom he – strong, intelligent, incisive and proud as he was – would speak only with the voice of a disciple: Marx and Engels.
Plekhanov was the Grand Old Man of Russian social democracy, the trusted associate of Engels, a thinker of immense erudition and culture, a founder of the Russian social democratic movement and one of the two men (the other was Karl Marx) to whose writings Lenin specifically attributed his own conversion to Marxism. Plekhanov was also rigidly doctrinaire, aloof, an impossible colleague, a man temperamentally unsuited to politics who spent most of his life as a politician. Born in 1857, he joined the Populist revolutionary body 'Land and Freedom' as a young man, but when the group split on the issue of terrorism Plekhanov opted for the non-terrorist faction known as 'The Black Repartition' (i.e. it stood for the re-distribution of the 'black earth' lands among the peasants).
Forced to emigrate to western Europe, Plekhanov became converted to Marxism and was instrumental, by his extraordinarily lucid and tough-minded expositions of Marxism in such works as Our Differences and In Defence of Materialism, in establishing political Marxism in the minds of a significant handful of intellectuals as the most dynamic, constructive and practical framework for revolution. But he could not for long bear to work with Lenin when it came to putting these theories into harsh practice. Although Plekhanov at first supported Lenin at the notorious Bolshevik-Menshevik split in 1903, he soon veered to Menshevism and thereafter he opposed Lenin on every major issue, although he continued to enjoy an extraordinary degree of respect among the socialist movement. The final breach between the two occurred in Paris in 1914 over their attitudes to the First World War: Lenin wanted Russia to be defeated as the surest way of hastening the collapse of the tsarist regime, whilst Plekhanov revealed the latent streak of emotional Germanophobia that existed in so many socialists of the time and ardently hoped for an Allied victory. This cultured, gentlemanly, essentially bookish man felt so violently about the issue that to another socialist comrade, an 'internationalist', he said: 'So far as I am concerned, if I were not old and sick I would join the army. To bayonet your German comrades would give me great pleasure.'
Soon after the February 1917 revolution Plekhanov hastened back to Russia and organized a right-wing socialist group called 'Unity', but his impact on events was negligible. After the Bolshevik revolution in October/November Plekhanov, then mortally ill with the tuberculosis that had dogged him all his life, was subjected to the most humiliating indignities. On one occasion a band of sailors broke into his house and almost lynched the 'father of Russian Marxism'. His wife, who had been able until then to keep him in some comfort from her earnings as a successful doctor, took him to Finland where he died in May 1918, ignored by Lenin and the triumphant Party Plekhanov had helped to found. Some posthumous amends have, however, been made to Plekhanov's memory: of all the leading Marxists who quarrelled with Lenin, Plekhanov is the only one whose works are still regularly published in the Soviet Union.
1. OUR DIFFERENCES: (Nasha Raznoglasiya) A polemical tract, published in 1884, in which Plekhanov analysed and stressed the differences in ideology between Marxist and Populist ('Narodnik') socialism.

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called everyone who doesn't wear a mask a "schmuck"
By Alyssa Perry
He unleashed on people who believe in freedom during an interview.
"You cannot go and not put the mask on because when you breathe, you can infect someone else. And you can infect someone that then gets sick and may die," he said during the interview.
"So this is why I think we all have to work together on this. The only way we can kick this virus is — again if we do like I suggested earlier about politics — you have to come together rather than fighting and always just saying:
'This according to my principles, this is a free country and I'm gonna have the freedom to wear no mask,'" Schwarzenegger continued, and said "You have the freedom to wear no mask but you know something? You're a schmuck for not wearing a mask" before adding: "I don't want to villainize anyone."
"Screw your freedom," Schwarzenegger said as he tried comparing mask mandates to traffic laws. "You cannot say, 'No one is going to tell me that I'm going to stop here, that I have to stop at this traffic light here. I'm going to go right through it.' Then you kill someone else, and then it is your doing."

Bike Around the World? – Yes, You Can!
Ever since growing up south of Chicago, my bike has been my key to freedom and adventure. Between the gritty, industrial Calumet Region and the green, Midwest farmlands, my trusty Schwinn transported Mini-me to new realities. My dream of a gap year on my bike before university had to wait until I graduated, but it finally became a reality. With my clunky 10 speed that I bought in high school with babysitting money, I packed a tube tent, solid fuel stove, cheap sleeping bag and set off through "sunny" Britain, Netherlands, Belgium and France.
Back to the same old/same old, I craved longer, more exotic bike adventures. In 1989, I put everything in storage, bought some decent equipment and traveled around the world. While you may not want to live on the cheap like I did, anyone can plan and execute a long haul bike trip that meets their specific needs. This presentation will talk about some of the logistics of living on a bike for months at a time. From route planning, equipment, finances to loneliness and culture shock – regardless of where or how you roam - many of the considerations are the same.
Let me try to convince you to leave it all behind using slides of my travels, information and anecdotes.

63 STAT.] 81ST CONG. , 1ST SESS.-CH. 338-JULY 15, 1949 [CHAPTER 338] AN ACT July 15, 1949 To establish a national housing objective and the policy to be followed in the I[. 1070] attainment thereof, to provide Federal aid to assist slum-clearance projects [Public Law 171] and low-rent public housing projects initiated by local agencies, to provide for financial assistance by the Secretary of Agriculture for farm housing, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act Housing Act of 1949. may be cited as the "Housing Act of 1949". DECLARATION OF NATIONAL HOUSING POLICY SEC. 2 . The Congress hereby declares that the general welfare and security of the Nation and the health and living standards of its people require housing production and related community development suffi- cient to remedy the serious housing shortage, the elimination of sub- standard and other inadequate housing through the clearance of slums and blighted areas, and the realization as soon as feasible of the goal of a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family, thus contributing to the development and redevelopment of communities and to the advancement of the growth, wealth, and secur- ity of the Nation. The Congress further declares that such produc- tion is necessary to enable the housing industry to make its full contribution toward an economy of maximum employment, produc- tion, and purchasing power. The policy to be followed in attain- ing the national housing objective hereby established shall be: (1) private enterprise shall be encouraged to serve as large a part of the total need as it can; (2) governmental assistance shall be utilized where feasible to enable private enterprise to serve more of the total need; (3) appropriate local public bodies shall be encouraged and assisted to undertake positive programs of encouraging and assisting the development of well-planned, integrated residential neighbor- hoods, the development and redevelopment of communities, and the production, at lower costs, of housing of sound standards of design, construction, livability, and size for adequate family life; (4) govern- mental assistance to eliminate substandard and other inadequate housing through the clearance of slums and blighted areas, to facil- itate community development and redevelopment, and to provide ade- quate housing for urban and rural nonfarm families with incomes so low that they are not being decently housed in new or existing housing shall be extended to those localities which estimate their own needs and demonstrate that these needs are not being met through reliance solely upon private enterprise, and without such aid; and (5) gov- ernmental assistance for decent, safe, and sanitary farm dwellings and related facilities shall be extended where the farm owner demon- strates that he lacks sufficient resources to provide such housing on his own account and is unable to secure necessary credit for such housing from other sources on terms and conditions which he could reasonably be expected to fulfill. The Housing and Home Finance Agency and its constituent agencies, and any other departments or agencies of the Federal Government having powers, functions, or duties with respect to housing, shall exercise their powers, functions, and duties under this or any other law, consistently with the national housing policy declared by this Act and in such manner as will facil- itate sustained progress in attaining the national housing objective 413

The Bill of Rights
A User's Guide
Linda R. Monk, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Foreword by)
With a foreword by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court.
An Engaging, Accessible Guide to the Bill of Rights for Everyday Citizens.
In The Bill of Rights: A User's Guide, award-winning author and constitutional scholar Linda R. Monk explores the remarkable history of the Bill of Rights amendment by amendment, the Supreme Court's interpretation of each right, and the power of citizens to enforce those rights.
Stories of the ordinary people who made the Bill of Rights come alive are featured throughout. These include Fannie Lou Hamer, a Mississippi sharecropper who became a national civil rights leader; Clarence Earl Gideon, a prisoner whose handwritten petition to the Supreme Court expanded the right to counsel; Mary Beth Tinker, a 13-year-old whose protest of the Vietnam War established free speech rights for students; Michael Hardwick, a bartender who fought for privacy after police entered his bedroom unlawfully; Suzette Kelo, a nurse who opposed the city's takeover of her working-class neighborhood; and Simon Tam, a millennial whose 10-year trademark battle for his band "The Slants" ended in a unanimous Supreme Court victory. Such people prove that, in the words of Judge Learned Hand, "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court, can save it."
Exploring the history, scope, and meaning of the first ten amendments-as well as the Fourteenth Amendment, which nationalized them and extended new rights of equality to all-The Bill of Rights: A User's Guide is a powerful examination of the values that define American life and the tools that every citizen needs.
Praise For The Bill of Rights: A User's Guide…
"It's hard to make the Bill of Rights accessible to everyone without talking down to anyone, but this fine book manages to do just that."—Laurence H. Tribe, Harvard Law School
"The Constitution and Bill of Rights are in the news almost every day and citizens of all ages and walks of life are hungry for more information about both. Linda has become a master at writing balanced, accessible, and insightful guides to our nation's founding documents. If you want to get informed and stay informed, pick up this book!"—Julie Silverbrook, Executive Director, The Constitutional Sources Project
"An even-handed model of concision and clarity that will be invaluable to any citizen interested in what the Bill of Rights means and how it is applied to real-world disputes. It is hard to imagine anyone producing a more thorough and illuminating guide for lay readers."
—Steve Chapman, syndicated columnist, Chicago Tribune
"Linda Monk reveals that the framers actually opposed enumerating citizens' rights in the Constitution and added the first ten amendments only because ordinary Americans insisted. It's our Bill of Rights, and its arcane language and often tortured history come brilliantly back to life in Monk's fast-paced narrative."—Woody Holton, author of the National Book Award finalist Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution
Hachette Books, 9780316415606, 288pp.

Our first full look at the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie is here. What do you think? Will this seemingly crazy idea pay off and result in a great movie, or was this a huge mistake? No matter how Joker turns out, we can say with some certainty that it's definitely not going to be your standard DC comic book movie. Completely separate from every other DC film so far, Joker is a character study about a mentally ill individual who eventually transforms into the Joker. Watch the Joker trailer below.
The first poster for the Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker movie is here, and it's appropriately unsettling. The message director Todd Phillips has been constantly pushing is that this won't be your standard comic book movie, and sure enough, the first poster looks as if it's advertising a thriller, or even a horror film. The first Joker teaser trailer will drop tomorrow, but in the meantime, you can see the Joker poster below.
A new Joker image is here, showing Joaquin Phoenix looking very, very serious. Lighten up, sir! The movie is called Joker! The black and white pic comes courtesy of director Todd Phillips, who has confirmed he's now editing the standalone Batman spin-off. See the Joker image below, and don't worry about spoilers. The only thing this pic reveals is that the Joker uses a VCR at one point.
Todd Phillips is jumping from the Joker to the Hulkster. The filmmaker is set to direct a Hulk Hogan biopic for Netflix, and he's tagged Chris Hemsworth to play the part. I don't think any of us thought we'd see the day where Chris Hemsworth starred as Hulk Hogan in a Netflix movie, but hey, the 21st century is weird as hell.
The Todd Phillips-directed, Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker movie has gone from seeming like a terrible idea to a movie that might just work. It's clear Phillips and company are going for a much different approach to the character than what we're used to, and that might be enough to make the movie truly memorable. Phillips has also assembled a fantastic cast around Phoenix, including always-welcomed character actor Shea Whigham. In a new interview, Whigham revealed some details about his Joker character, and praised Phoenix's performance.
Another day, another sneak peek at the Joker origin movie that is currently in production.
Joaquin Phoenix is playing the iconic Batman villain in a movie that explores how a man named Arthur Fleck came to be the Clown Prince of Crime in Gotham City. A new look at the Joker arrived just before the weekend showing Phoenix in full clown make-up, but now a different glimpse at the character from the set of the movie shows the actor in full Joker mode, complete with a classic purple suit. Plus, director Todd Phillips has revealed the first official look at Zazie Beetz by way of a new character portrait.
Todd Phillips just gave us our first look at Joaquin Phoenix in Joker make-up. Maybe. The teaser video definitely shows Phoenix made-up to look like a clown, but is this his final Clown Prince of Crime look, or just a taste of things to come? Watch the Joker video below.
The standalone Joker movie has found its Thomas Wayne. Brett Cullen, a character actor who already has some Batman history, will play Bruce Wayne's father in the Todd Phillips film starring Joaquin Phoenix. Cullen replaces Alec Baldwin, who was first announced in the role only to immediately drop out. More on the Joker cast below.
It's showtime, kids. Director Todd Phillips has released the first look at Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker in the upcoming Joker origin movie. But in our first official image from the Warner Bros. comic book movie, Phoenix doesn't look quite ready to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight as much as he looks ready to take a nap.

In years past, before cruising became mass-marketed, most cruise lines took the attitude that an empty cabin was lost revenue once the ship left port; and close to sailing date it would sell that space to a single cruiser at half the cost. But no more. Now solo travelers face the dreaded single supplement, which means one person occupying a two-person cabin alone is going to pay a premium over the standard "per person, double occupancy" price, ranging from 50 percent to 200 percent.
Not all solo cruisers can afford the extra expense, so many travel agencies offer free cabin-mate matching for their hosted singles cruises, thus offering cheaper rates by avoiding the supplement. However, most passengers are paired only by gender and smoking preferences (and in a few instances, by age). Few, if any, offer the opportunity for people to become acquainted in advance with the person they are going to be "living" with for a week or more. This has often resulted in miserable situations that could have been avoided had the two people been allowed to get to know each other and set some ground rules beforehand.
Cancellation concerns When we asked agencies why they wouldn't divulge to customers in advance the identity of the person they will be rooming with, they cited the possibility of a last-minute switch -- why bother when the people might not wind up together? This excuse did not seem feasible to cruisers who told of bad experiences with strangers; they thought the agencies worried that if two people scheduled to share a cabin got acquainted beforehand and decided they were not compatible, one or the other might cancel.
It would appear this fear is justified. As Julia S., of Pell City, Alabama, explained: "There is always a private chat site before the cruise, and people can give their cabin numbers and find out that way who they are rooming with. I found out a week before my cruise that the person I was supposed to share with had some habits I couldn't deal with. I asked to be switched, was told it was not possible, so I canceled. It was worth the penalty they charged, because I would rather have paid that than have my entire cruise ruined."
Sammye G. of Trussville, Alabama, told how, in a pre-cruise chat room, she met her intended cabin-mate. The woman told her she had signed up as a non-smoker because she had intended to quit but had not been able to -- and she would be lighting up in the cabin. Sammye also opted out of her cruise when the agency refused to switch her; she not only lost her deposit, but a hefty cancellation fee was deducted from her refund since it was close to sailing and she had paid in full. "I argued, but it did no good," she said, "and I was willing to lose the money rather than spend a week unable to breathe in my own cabin."
Vickie Snoap of SinglesCruise.com said, "We are very fortunate as we have not had many instances in our program where the roommates we matched together did not get along, but in this rare event, our onboard cruise director would try to work out a room exchange for the passengers."
A spokesperson for Vacationstogo.com said that agency will try to work out problems by having its cruise coordinator act as mediator. If the situation cannot be resolved, they endeavor to find another cabin for one of the dissatisfied passengers, which is rarely an option as most ships are sold out. If someone winds up with a cabin to themselves as a result of a dispute, they are charged the single supplement.
What to do In addition to Cruisemates' message board, "Seeking Cruise Companion," where you can post a listing telling other singles who you are, where you would like to cruise, and your prefernces for a roommate, there are a few other web sites where people can look for a cabin mate. You can try www.cabinmatch.com and www.Cstn.org, or a new site called www.solocruiser.com with an onilne compatibility form that lets you find potential matches and then contact them by email (privacy protected).
However, simply finding a cabinmate so you can avoid the single supplement does not necessarily mean you won't run into problems when you share a room with someone you have never met. There is always the unexpected.
To verify a future roommate's veracity, request to exchange copies of drivers' licenses and passports (but mark out anything that might be used for identity theft, such as social security numbers).
Ask for personal references. A place of work is especially good if the person is cimfortable with that, because you can also verify the person is employed.
Verify place of residence. Doublecheck the address a person claims as their residence by using the postal mail to exchange copies of your passports.
Once you can establish that your potential roommate is not a pathological liar, make contact by phone to talk, at length, about each other's compatibility concerns. Discuss anything you think might present a problem unless it is understood beforehand, such as medical problems or physical handicaps/disabilities.
Is the person taking any kind of medications? Are either of you over-packers who might need more than your share of cabin space? Make sure you each see to it that any extra cabin charges, such as long distance phone calls, bottled water purchases, room service, etc., are posted to the right person's account. It is also a good idea to bring up the subject of what happens if a shipboard romance blossoms, and whether either of you would be willing to give up the cabin for a few hours for privacy.
Bathroom habits are especially important, especially for ladies. Because an unexpected delay or compromise of the only bathroom space for an extended period of time could lead to a lot of upset psyches for singl ladies trying to look their best. What time do you shower, how long does it take to do your hair?
Another important issue is what will happen if one of you cancels at the last minute. That leaves the other stuck with paying the single supplement, unless you have booked through a singles cruise agency. Their policy is usually to allow the remaining passenger to have the cabin to themselves at no additional cost if they cannot quickly find a replacement.
And never send or front money to your cabin mate for either the cruise deposit or final payment. This should be paid individually to the appropriate place�either the travel agency or the cruise line, and it is important that both roommates make the payment on the same day. This secures the booking at the right price. If one delays the price may become unaffordable.
All things considered, it would seem that a person is better off finding their own cabin mate, based on their criteria, rather than leaving it to a travel agent to pair them with a stranger. After all, sharing a cabin with someone you know nothing about versus getting acquainted beforehand, can mean the difference between a cruise to remember, or a nightmare you will never forget.
