My Core Principles: From Cronkite to Communism

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

For the record, I am not an anarchist; I simply have a deep love of quotes and like to look up their origins. My research often reveals that favorite sayings are frequently misattributed or heavily paraphrased.

Here are a few compelling examples of quotes where the popular source or phrasing is incorrect:

1. The famous phrase attributed to Emma Goldman, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution,” is actually a paraphrase of her original statement.

2. The quote, “Love me or hate me, both are in my favor… If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart… If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind,” is often credited to William Shakespeare, but its attribution is questionable.

I live rent-free in your head. /s 🤭

3. Similarly, the well-known saying, “When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready the teacher will disappear,” is often falsely attributed to Laozi.

As for my ideology, I prefer not to label myself, though I do lean towards Marxism-Leninism/Communism. While I often quote well-known Marxist philosophers, I am still in the process of studying the core Marxist texts.

The primary reason I started this blog was to investigate the truth about U.S. foreign policy. I was guided by Walter Cronkite’s principle, “In seeking truth, you have to get both sides of a story,” which used to serve as this blog’s header. This journey has led me to re-examine historical narratives, including those concerning Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union, and the misinformation surrounding them.

Recently, I have focused on writing and incorporating many of my favorite quotes into my work. These writings are primarily housed on my personal blog. Out of concern that this content has become a little too revealing for public discussion here, I have stopped sharing the link lately. If you are genuinely interested, please feel free to email me through my contact page, and I may share the link.

I ask only for a thoughtful perspective, as I believe no one is perfect and judgment is unnecessary.

Oh, and if the embedded tracks didn’t make it clear, I also have a deep appreciation for music.

  1. Marx admired Shakespeare – which I assume he must have read in German translation. There is a good section on this in Tucker’s “Marxist Reader” – an excellent US book published during the heady days of Carter! Marx was of the opinion that Shakespeare understood the machinations of exploitation – and the power of words expressed in the right order and at the right time.
