Moving to Luxemburg for a year with g/f?
Hi guys, Its all go now, my girlfriend has accepted the job offer in Luxembourg and we are heading off next month. We are currently living in Dublin Ireland, where Im originally from, my g/f is originally from Poland but living in Dublin. I told her initally I wont be going if she goes cos Ive no chance of getting a job in what I want to do. I suggested we go for at most a year, in the hope that the economy would have improved by then. I want to get back to architecture in a country we can both get a good job. Shes in finance and only really needs english. I've posted a question previous concerning this topic but the difference now is I'm definitely gonna give it a go, Im abit scared to be honest, if i cant find work its going to difficult. We discussed this and she's willing to cover the rent. I dont really like this idea, but what else can I do, the idea of living apart from her is horrible. I'm a junior architect and a recently qualified fitness instructor. I lost my job as an architect when the recession hit at the start of the year and havent been able to find work in that industry anywhere. I hope to work as a fitness instructor while I'm in Luxembourg with the idea that we head to England late 2010 where hopefully I can return to architecture. I've a few questions: I would like to start doing personal training there. Is the language issue going to be a big problem? Could I get a job in a gym there with only english? How difficult is it to find a job there with the recession? Anyone live in Luxembourg that can offer me general advice about looking for a job, way of living etc. would be greatly appreciated:-) Any other help on my situation would be greatly appreciated. I know I love my g/f but am I mad going there?

- language barrier: usually, for client facing personnel, it is required to speak at least English and French (German highly appreciated). - the recession did not hit very much Luxembourg. Not like in other countries, at least. - however, being a small country, there are not that many gyms, so ti might be difficult to get a job as a personal instructor. - the good side of things is that here there is a big community of English speaking people. They might be helpful in finding a job, as word of mouth works extremely well here. We posted some Facebook groups for people living in Luxembourg here: http://in-luxembourg.blogspot.com/2009/10/facebook-groups-focused-on-luxembourg.html Some LinkedIn Groups: http://in-luxembourg.blogspot.com/2009/10/linkedin-groups-focused-on-luxembourg.html Also, for rent, we posted several new ads: http://in-luxembourg.blogspot.com/2009/10/apartments-for-rent-in-luxembourg-i.html Regards, Marius & Elena

Is there a link between Feminism & Communism
Is there a link between Feminism & Communism?
Excerpt #1: "...Many early feminists and advocates of women's rights were considered left-wing by their contemporaries.[32] Feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft was influenced by the radical thinker Thomas Paine. Many notable leftists have been strong supporters of sexual equality, such as: the Marxists Rosa Luxemburg, Clara Zetkin and Alexandra Kollontai, the anarchist Emma Goldman, and the socialists Helen Keller and Annie Besant.[33][34] Marxists such as Clara Zetkin[35][36] and Alexandra Kollontai [37][38] however, though supporters of radical social equality for women, opposed feminism on the grounds that it was a bourgeois ideology. Marxists were responsible for organizing the first International Womens Day events. [39] In more recent times the women's liberation movement is closely connected to the New Left and other new social movements that challenged the orthodoxies of the Old Left. Socialist feminism (e.g.Freedom Socialist Party, Radical Women) and Marxist feminism (e.g. Selma James) saw themselves as a part of the left that challenged what they perceive to be male-dominated and sexist structures within the left. Liberal feminism is closely connected with left-liberalism, and the left-wing of mainstream American politics. (e.g. the National Organization for Women). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics ======================================… Excerpt#2: "...Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. ......................................… The first IWD was observed on 19 March 1911 in Germany following a declaration by the Socialist Party of America. --------------------------------------… Demonstrations marking International Women's Day in Russia proved to be the first stage of the Russian Revolution of 1917.[citation needed] Following the October Revolution, the Bolshevik Alexandra Kollontai persuaded Lenin to make it an official holiday in the Soviet Union, and it was established, but was a working day until 1965. On May 8, 1965 by the decree of the USSR Presidium of the Supreme Soviet International Women's Day was declared as a non working day in the USSR "in commemoration of the outstanding merits of Soviet women in communistic construction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day

Some extreme feminists view capitalism as a patriarchal system. That is, they feel it is dominated by men. The only way (in their view) to achieve female-male equality and eliminate patriarchy is to eliminate capitalism. By establishing a socialist system, female-male equality was ensured. In this way, yes, some feminists are linked to communists.

Modern feminism is nothing but institutionalized racism. It's nothing but the hatred and demonization of white Christian men.

What a dumb-ass idea. Equal rights for people regardless of how they're born is called "democracy" or "civil rights". Communism is an ECONOMIC system.

No. It's called equal rights for all. But I thank you kindly for exposing the Republican/right wing hate for and desire to subjugate women. ##

Jesus, don't post on here until you learn the difference between social ideology, human rights, form of government, political system and economics.

The link is tenuous at best. There are plenty of women out there who are successful on their own without the need for centralized economic planning. What you are really doing is denigrating women by saying that women are not competent to succeed in a capitalist system. There are plenty of successful businesswomen out there that prove you are sadly mistaken. You are also citing a defunct system that brought everybody down to the lowest common denominator. Most women I know want nothing to do with such a system. A Soviet-style economic system simply won't work. Stop clinging to a failed ideology, or trying to use feminism as a way of promoting your political aims.

World War I, was an event mainly produced by imperialism, which is the ambition of power and property and nationalism, the respect for ones country, Patriotism. These sentiments were most felt in Europe where the social classes first started to reveal for a balanced social structure, since it was divided into high(aristocracy) and low classes. A supporter of these facts was Rosa Luxemburg, a German Marxist and revolutionary for the Social Democratic Party of this period. Luxemburg strongly defended in her pamphlet “The Junius,†the labor communities, encouraging them to fight for their rights and opportunities, to grow economically, and equally as the other classes. She wanted the proletarians to be treated decently and not as exploited “modern slave.†But, because of their traditional beliefs and partisanship of their country, unfortunately the working class did not collaborate for their own benefits. As a whole, she is against the WWI not only because of the causes but also of its effects, such as the endless physical and economic destruction of the territories affected as well. According to Luxemburg, the Bourgeoisie society went over its limits .It became the least confidential system, because their members were the first ones in giving false information to the public. Like in most dictatorship, the rulers tend to control media. They tend to censor books or change the given information that might testify against the government. Basically the bourgeoisie were making the lower classes blind of reality.
