I didn't even go to the University of the Philippines for college or anything. <BR/><BR/>With that said, however:<BR/><BR/>"Ban" is too strong a word, I think. Every library in the world will have a tendency to select or display books according to their own tastes. In this case, if the book really has been pulled out, then I don't think it's best to jump to the conclusion that it's because it was single-handedly compromising a Marxist atmosphere.<BR/><BR/>That the University of the Philippines (not "Manila University") is a hotbed of Marxism is debatable as well. It has a reputation for being a hotbed of activism, yes, but "Marxism" is a very general descriptor. It is certainly possible for organizations and beliefs to follow some aspects of Marx's theories and not others. <BR/><BR/>Most Filipino activists I've met, for that matter, don't seem to follow beliefs of class struggle or government-centered production as much as they advocate government transparency and democracy. The latter, after all, has been a problem over here as of late, what with accusations of vote-rigging in the last elections and other developments.<BR/><BR/>As a final note, the story posted by Mr. Shousen's acquaintance sounds more than a little apocryphal. An entire circle of "Marxists" abandons their core beliefs simply because they happen to read a single chapter in a certain Economics book? The situation sounds more than a little optimistic to me. It's possible, yes, but it definitely sounds more than a little optimistic.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1134501173602416692005-12-14T03:12:00.000+08:002005-12-14T03:12:00.000+08:00Congrats.As a top Filipino blogger, I'd like to he...Congrats.<BR/><BR/>As a top Filipino blogger, I'd like to hear your comments on the following story (<A HREF="http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=10794" REL="nofollow">link</A>).
