Anime conditions people to depravity and sickness, so that simply will not do.


So...like all media? I'd also like to point out that media, anime included, can be used to condition people against depravity and sickness as well.

The Paris Commune wasn't communist, it was merely the closest thing to communism in recorded history.

Unless you count hippie camps.

I would, if anarchist movements didn't have the tendency to... not work out.

Robespierre was an anarchist.... what?

The closest figure of the period who could be called a proto-anarchist was the Marquis de Sade, and his philosophy was miles apart from Robespierre's.

Not full communism would be the accurate way of saying that

Socialists/Communists seizing state power is a transitional phase in the broad scheme of it all. And you need Capitalism before Socialism.

It doesn't, but it certainly means that it can be.

By definition, no, it wasn't communism.

Definitions exist for a reason. The liberal misuse of words is an aspect of modern degeneracy. These aren't just words you can throw around, they have actual meanings behind them. Stop butchering language.

The Paris Commune was the model which Marx and Engels looked at when developing their concept of an ideal society.

A commune is a form of political organization, and Marxists stuck in 19th century terminology are mainly the ones who constantly insist that it's different from a state.

And honestly I've heard the whole "It wasn't true Capitalism it was Crony Capitalism" from liberals WAY more than I've heard "It wasn't real Communism" from Socialists.

I know what the Paris Commune is.

Just because it influence communism doesn't make it communist. It was technically a state. A fake state, but still a state.

Some of these were said out of anger rather than critical reflection. For instance, the first is my reaction to someone essentially calling me a man and saying that me having the right to have a psychologically beneficial surgery is going to result in pedophilia being accepted down the line. Many Catholics in North America are pro-LGBT rights, so it was wrong of me to conflate the opinions of Orthodox mad because people won't bow to their petty theocratic fantasies with Christiandom as a whole.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg.

I'll concede that first quote.
After someone independently confirmed you two are separate people, I will concede that you are. But given that even the mods have learned to be suspicious of such claims, I won't say I didn't have a very good reason to be skeptical.

Very understandable, I will not fault you for your skepticism, especially because this is the Internet.
I'm going to have to call bluff because I don't believe I've even brought up my beliefs for the most part.

You can glean some kind of impression of your beliefs from your posts. For instance, you are a Buddhist, which is evident from your signature, a Transhumanist and are opposed, I gather at least, to Confucianism and Taoism. Those are only three beliefs among others I could glean. You can correct me if I am wrong. Are you still a futurist, btw?

Everyone likes to claim that a major cock-up overseen by a regime with their preferred political/socio-economic ideology wasn't a real example of it.

It's not about that, it's about the proper fucking usage of words.

My apologies, I mistook the intent of the statement.

I do agree with it, however.

It wasn't ideologically Communist, but it was basically the society that Communists wanted to make, this was spelled out quite vocally by Marx and Engels. When they speak of "state," they mean an entity for class rule, a "class dictatorship." so a Communist society would essentially be stateless according to their definition because there are no classes to dominate one another, while basically having all the components of a state and being able to administrate.

Except class has no bearing on the state, and thus they aren't against the idea of a state which shows an inconsistency in their own ideology. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised a utopian ideology is inconsistent.

Not taking that bait, either.

I'm not agreeing with Marx or his definition of words. I'm just trying to establish what he meant, for the purpose of clarity.
