sorry for the wait

There was a power outage at my house and it wrecked our modem so I went without internet all week so I apologize for the gap between posts, I have been developing ideas on the views of Epictetus and Marx. Marx, the communist will be shown with the ants, representing society, marching along, giving the food they collect to the communist pig, representing the wealthy industry owners/government in a communist society. I am thinking about also approaching it in a political cartoon way. Epictetus was a slave Rome, around 100 A.D. who developed the concept of stoicism, where people accept the fact that they are not in control of anything and start to lack emotion, for example, if a loved one dies they would feel like it was out of their hands and would pretty much just shrug it off with no mourning. Or if they got punched in the face they would feel like they must have deserved it and could not have done anything to avoid it and would not retaliate. So this could relate the communist society where the people accept their situation and deal with it, no matter how bad their living gets. This idea is not completely resolved but it may be shown in with some ants dying while the rest go on with their business, not going over to mourn over the loss of fellow citizens in the society.
