Right-Wing Discussion Thread VIII: McCarthy Was Right

[Wulfenia]

Changing material conditions and the fact that no economic system has ever been permanent.

I think you got me and Conscentia mixed up, though the irony of a transhumanist accusing me of "utopian rubbish" is not lost on me.

Remarkably, I don't believe utopia to be humanly possible.

And I didn't get you lot mixed up -- Cons makes concise, intelligent arguments that at least make sense. Even if I may disagree with them.

While believing in sci-fi fantasies about turning people into robots?

Conscentia, from what I remember, is a Communist, his system is centered around achieving post-scarcity. My politics are the opposite, so it does not make much sense for me to advocate for reaching post-scarcity.

I don't think Scylla is a full-on transhumanist.

I just want us to be the Gods of our own destiny.

And maybe laser arms. That'd be cool too.

Well he calls himself a transhumanist, so it felt like a safe assumption to make.

[Conscentia]

Probably some post-scarcity utopian rubbish.

I'm actually critical of literal post-scarcity utopianism.

The opposite, yet critical of Capitalism. So a fascist I take it. Autarky is a bunch of bullshit as well, mind.

Clearly utopian *nodnod*. It's funny because under my ideal view of the future -- I expect a world with more violence and inequality. :^)

[Conscentia]

[...] So a fascist I take it. [...]

... Well, yeah. It says so in her signature.

I'm not that interested in autarky, it's not pragmatic and has a lot of problems. Though it wasn't as much a failure for Italy as it's made out to be.

Cons probably has more consistent views than the majority of people who post here.

I.e. the "right wingers" who want to legalise drugs and prostitution lol

I think you're conflating the entire right-wing with social conservatism.

[Questers]

Libertarianism isn't a real ideology, jsyk.

Didn't take it seriously because of the P2TM.

[Wulfenia]

No, it's a political philosophy, you can be right-wing or left-wing while being one.

[Questers]

Mmm.

Libertarianism is like one of the games you play when you're a child. Real - because you're there, playing it. Fictional because it has no bearing or application to the real world. It's just that - play.

Communism is centered around abolishing the class system through the abolition of private property. Anything beyond that is debatable.

Legalization sounds good to me.

Legalization sounds good to me.

For drugs, I'd prefer decriminalization rather than outright legalization. They're still awful and should be eliminated to the best of our abilities, but the whole War on Drugs has gone nowhere. Brothels should be legalized and regulated, with unionized prostitutes owning them.

And you want this why?

No, just an end to commie rule over the thread and a more Putin right-wing owned thread again... Just like the Tsar's.

This specific iteration will be locked, so ... technically, yes.
