Don't be that low IQ dcf, try to figure out the cryptic references I've just implied :^)

[Thermodolia]

Libertarianism ruined another one's understanding of things. Such a shame :^)

Not sure if the poster is objecting to the fact that my parents were Jewish, that I am a libertarian Marxist, or both.

He’s not objecting to anything

[Eisarnathiuda]

Huh. Sounds alright to me. It could be necessary to have a strong government, to act as a guide or mentor, helping to direct the community. On the other hand, if it were too strong, it would become corrupt and tyrannical. Too weak, and it cannot guide others down the ideal path of emancipation. The collectives would direct themselves through elected officials, and the ladder would climb to the national level, and each level would direct its duties.

In the first stage of communism, I agree that a strong central government will likely be necessary. However, my hope is that, as we progress toward the second stage, localism will replace centralization.

"First Stage of Communism"

Assuming you ever get that far and survive ideological cannibalism.

Tbf, France experienced a lot of ideological cannibalism post-revolution.

The revolutionary ideals still won out in the end, which is my point :^)

At the expense of many innocent lives, and years of chaos and destruction. :^)

Daily reminder that elections are a spook.

I think my Ph.D. is proof enough that I do not have a low IQ. However, no thanks. I would rather not spend my time playing mind games.

They don’t, unless Trump is one of the candidates. :^)

Exactly! My city's last city council election had tons of chaos, death, amd destruction!

(Technically it was just one guy stealing all the campaign signs from a candidate after the election already happened, me killing a spider with the election guidebook, and the city government renovating the sidewalk, but that's technically Chaos, Death, and Destruction.)

If our early societies had been less hierarchical, perhaps the vicious cycle wouldn't have originated.

The fact that they weren't is good proof of how unadapted to humanity lack of hierarchy is.

I think it's a perfectly useful and accurate concept in many cases, particularly when directed at people in positions of power who act maliciously or showing no regard for the negative consequences of their actions on others.

Kissinger, for example, is evil. Maybe he loves his grandkids, maybe he's a good husband, but that hardly balances out a career built on mass death.

Kissinger did nothing wrong, tho. No bulli that gud boi!

It is a crime that an unindicted war criminal has been allowed to live his life outside prison walls (or be saved from execution).

[Thermodolia]

Evil is not a useful concept.

That moment when you realize that the US involment in Vietnam was ended by negotiations lead by Kissinger

How exactly is one a war criminal when they haven’t committed any war crimes? Even while he was a sergeant in the army during the waning days of WW2 he wouldn’t let any abuses happen to the German people under his command, even though he could have done anything he wanted as he had complete and absolute control.

Goddamn, what an evil man. We should've put him to trial.

[Proctopeo]

Just thought i'd drop in to criticize the dehumanization of the far-right and nazis and stuff and remind those who think this is fine of the reasons this trend began in culture.

Following WW2 the banality and normality of Nazis and their human characteristics was the focus for a time, up until about the 60s when criticisms of western involvement became more prevalent in cultural pieces, raising questions like;

"Where is the responsibility of the American Industrialists who helped Hitler to rebuild his army and profited from that rebuilding?"

Following this kind of discussion being started, media all of a sudden, FOR SOME REASON, lurched into portraying Nazis and the far-right as cartoonish villains with no depth of character or human qualities that no longer examined closely the reasons this happened, instead portraying them simply as bad people and that no further investigation or discussion was necessary.

That the modern progressive left supports that trend in large part is an insight into just how much of their discourse is polluted by lack of skepticism and inquiry, and ultimately serves the interests of capitalism consistently with their discourse on social issues.

I mean, tbf, the Nazis were fucking evil.

Yeah, though it wasn't the "generic TV bad guy who's doing evil just for fun" type of evil, as they're sometimes portrayed.
