Los Prisioneros

“Los Prisioneros” was one of the main rock band from Chile during de 80` and is by many people consider as the most important from the Chilean rock. Los Prisioneros was many time my favorite music band until I had the Basque group “La Polla Records” listen.
Los Prisioneros was a band very famous until now in a lot of countries in Sudamerica, and here in Chile exist many fans but they had many troubles with the Chilean press. That was because the lyrics from the songs, those are very critic with the press and the economical and political system. This is why they are hatred by many powerful people.
The integrants of the band where: Jorge Gonzalez, the voice and guitarist; Claudio Narea, the bassist and Miguel Tapia the drummer. They went to the same school in San Miguel, Santiago, and when they had 17 years they started to play music.
The songs where so famous in Sudamerica because the lyrics where very critical with the Sudamerican dictators (principally Pinochet) and many songs have a social content.
In 1991 they split up, because they had “romantic” problems, as usually, a woman separate music’s band that’s shame. In 2001 they were together, but in year 2004 they split up, once again because the problems between Gonzalez and Narea.

What should I do?

I write this post today because I want to receive help from you. I have a big dilemma and it´s very important to me to decide what to do.

As you already know I am from Punta Arenas and I see not very oft my family that lives in that city. As I suppose that you already know, I am a big big big fan from the football team Universidad de Chile. I am a member from the club and I go to the stadium every week that “la U” plays in Santiago, and when I have the money and the time, I also rise to other cities from Chile to see my team. I am a member too of the “barra Los de Abajo”, and I saw la U play in Punta Arenas, in Santiago, in Valparaiso, Viña del Mar, Talca and El Salvador, a little town from the 3rd region from the north of Chile.

My dilemma is that, “la U” plays next week am 20th May the quarterfinals of the “Copa Libertadores”, and THE SAME DAY, I have a flight to Punta Arenas, and my Mother have already buy the ticket, by the way, that is not cheap. I am crazy, I know that, but..

What should I do???? Please help me!!!

Karl Marx

Today I`am going to talk about Karl Marx. Karl Marx is a person that I admire for many reasons.

Karl Marx is consider today like one of the three “Fathers of the Sociology” (with M. Weber and E. Durkheim).

He was an intellectual, philosopher, lawyer, and a theoretical revolucionary.

During his life, he wrote many articles in different Magazines, he wrote many essay and books about his ideas and theorys of the Human Society, the History and his development. Also Karl Marx founded with Fiedrich Engels the “International Working Men`s Association” also known as the “First International”, the first association in the world that get workers from the whole world together in a revolucionary organization.

Karl Marx studied the Human Society, studied the History oh the humanity and his progress, and also he studied in a very detailed way the Capitalism. Marx have invented many interesting concept, like class struggles, base, superestructure, superplus value, alienation, and more.

A very famous phrase that Marx had wrote in the Communist Manifiesto is: “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”

His life and his ideas inspired many many people to fight against the misery of Capitalism, and inspired the bigest revolution of the 20^th century, the Russian revolution.
