Liberalism and Circus Animals

Whatever is caged will surely have a thirst for liberty. A circus animal will do nothing but simply sit there in it's cage. It will entertain others just by it's presence there. It will do whatever we say when we have it's food in our hand. We command, it will take the orders. Even the king of the jungle the mighty lion will obey it's master's command in the ring. We say, they play. Caging a wild animal is not easy in the first place. They have to catch it. Then they have to control it. They will make that animal to obey their orders by giving them limited food. They will beat them. If the animal starts to obey their commands then it will get extra food as rewards so even the wild animals will somehow starts to obey their orders. They will lock them in a cage and will torture the animals to have a better show in front of people. They will do anything with those animals just to get money. After all those notorious tortures, they will present their works like its an beautiful art in front of the people. Money is all that they want.

No, I'm not only talking about a caged animal.

... it's not about a caged animal, it could be a common human that I refer to. Maybe it's not about the masters of the circus but the leaders who are oppressive. Maybe it's not about the viewers of the circus but about the neighboring countries?... This is where the role of liberty enters. Whatever is caged will surely have a thirst for liberty. The circus animals also longs for liberty. In finding a solace in their new caged life when it is caged, it failed to fight for it's liberty. In the case of humans, some are like lions (has power) but still they chose to get dominated by others by losing its nature but what humans should know is, they need to act like a wolf. Whatever happens, a wolf will never perform in circus. It holds that aura there. So a Human also need to have the quality of the wolf if they want to have the taste of liberty which is a right that is innate in nature. This is all about slavery and yes slavery, slave trade are the things that are currently happening in some countries especially in the parts of Africa. Most of the people are like the circus animals I have mentioned above. The people have power like lions but not in front of the government. Not only in Africa, in many other countries too. Only if they can act as wolves once in their lifetime, they can get free from all the handcuffs and it's their so called democratic domination which is nearly a tyranny.

Basically liberty is a basic right of humans which is innate in nature so achieving liberty is a choice. Yes not always but many times. Wanna be a dull dummy lion in a circus? or a majestic wolf in a forest ?!?! ... the choice is ours.

Cicero’s Ideas on Slavery and Contemporary Labour System

Roman philosopher Cicero struggled with the system of slavery that was in place at the time.  Cicero supported the humane treatment of slaves, acknowledging their inherent humanity and  dignity rather than subjecting them to cruel punishment since he believed in natural law. He  opposed the prevalent standards of exploitation and brutality by emphasizing the values of  justice, fairness, and compassion in relationships with slaves.  When we travel back in time to the present, we find ourselves in a somewhat different yet  similar environment: a contemporary labor system. In contrast to slavery, where people were  viewed as property, modern work relationships are founded on contracts. But in modern  companies, traces of injustice, exploitation, and control still exist. The ethical implications of  work practices are called into issue by the difficulties that employees frequently encounter in  obtaining economic security, autonomy, and fai...

Ants and Communism

In the miniature world of ants opens a fascinating parallel to the ideals of communism. These industrious insects work in well-organized colonies where each individual contributes to the greater good according to the principles of communal society. Ant colonies are carefully structured and each ant is given a specific role that meets the needs of the community. From foragers gathering food to ants caring for their young, each member plays an important role in ensuring the survival of the colony. This division of labor reflects the basic principles of communism and emphasizes the importance of shared responsibility and collective well-being. Like communism, ants operate without a central authority to dictate their actions. Instead, they follow a decentralized system where communication and collaboration thrive. Ants use chemical signals to communicate information to each other, which promotes smooth communication. Communism also envisions a society where people work together harmoniousl...

Boots and Bourgeoisie: Shoes and Capitalism

Shoes have been an integral part of human history, not only for their practical function of protecting our feet, but also for their symbolic and cultural significance. In this comparative analysis, we will delve into the ideology of capitalism and explore how it intersects with the production, consumption, and marketing of shoes. By examining the economic, social, and cultural aspects of the footwear industry, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between shoes and capitalism. The history of shoes and capitalism can be traced back to early industrialization when the mass production of footwear became feasible. In a capitalist system, shoes are typically produced by private companies aiming to maximize profit. Production processes may involve outsourcing labour to countries with lower wages to minimize costs. Capitalism incentivizes the production of goods, including shoes, through the pursuit of profit. Companies invest in manufacturing technologies and labour to pr...
