so i tell them


So they asked me,

Why am I still pulling at your feeble hand?

Why am I still latching on to your arms?

Why am I still holding on to your words?

Your pointless promises,

Our dashed dreams,

My fading fortitude.

I am telling you now

My endurance has no limit

I am telling you now

Your every smile worth my million times

I am telling you now

I’ll chase every forever to make yours mine

I am telling you now

I may no longer be in love with you,

Broken minds like ours don’t go for that kinda shit,

But I am telling you now,

This infinite tenderness I feel for you

It aint goin anywhere

It wont stay in the past

Yet It wasn’t willing to darn our future together either

So I’ll let it lingers for a while

Though my while could mean eon

  and i know that you wont mind.

A Marxist Analysis : Bitcoin as Capitalism’s Latest Fetish of Commodity

Image
Reading into the latest news, almost every financial or economic column I have come across is talking about Bitcoin. Its craze has even spread among my peers who are currently installing their own Bitcoin apps (i.e from Bitcoin.co.id and others) to partake in their own trading, hoping to somehow double their pocket money. Rather than simply talking about Bitcoin as another means of investment and speculation to further accumulate our wealth, in this essay, I’d like to contribute to the discussion by analyzing how does Marx’s theory of commodity fetishism could actually apply in the emergence and also rise of Bitcoin as a form of cryptocurrency. What exactly is this latest technological invention that some economist claim would transform current financial and economic system that we know today?             Firstly, we need to clear up some ontological confusion on what cryptocurrency and bitcoin are. Cryptocurrency is a type...

Critical Review: Karl Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscript of 1844

Image
Estranged Labour, Human Requirements, and Division of Labor Under the Rule of Private Property             Marx’s 1844 Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts contain one of the most comprehensive discussions on the concept that he calls “alienated labor”. Marx mostly sees alienation at work as the most predominant form of alienation that humans have to undergo under the system of capitalism. Marx’s alienation is based on the assumption that human has the ultimate need to engage in free and creative labor as part of his human nature. Since capitalism systematically hinders that needs, it is an alienating system. He claims in the 1844 manuscript that most people in the modern society perceive work as unpleasant and unfulfilling experience. This is particularly true in the modern context of the most capitalistic society like United States and some developing countries who pursues capitalistic mode of production as its means o...
