Religion can be very important to the cohesiveness of societies.

2017-05-29 06:29:44 UTC

You can think of the statement how you will, but the idea of living in harmony and leading a fulfilled existence, has everything to do with spirituality.

2017-05-29 06:29:59 UTC

So with no attention placed towards spirituality, society becomes diseased.

2017-05-29 06:30:06 UTC

Maybe. Either Communism works, or Barbarism is the only way.

2017-05-29 06:30:21 UTC

That's an incredibly limited set of options ๐Ÿ˜‚

2017-05-29 06:30:30 UTC

Also, not true

2017-05-29 06:30:44 UTC

For instance the Balkans might still be subjugated by the Muslims if it weren't for the bonds created not just by blood, but by faith.

2017-05-29 06:30:54 UTC

@Deleted User If man does not fit into Communism, then man has to be changed.

2017-05-29 06:30:56 UTC

I assume you are saying that, anything beside communism is barbarism?

2017-05-29 06:31:02 UTC
2017-05-29 06:31:22 UTC

@PremYattani No, I mean objectively. There are two ways this could all end.

2017-05-29 06:31:23 UTC

Maybe its the other way around, and Communsim just doesn't work for Humanity?

2017-05-29 06:31:42 UTC

You believe that our society devoid of communism, leads to barbarism?

2017-05-29 06:31:58 UTC

@Deleted User What is so special about the current state of humanity?

2017-05-29 06:31:58 UTC

"Communism" is an arbitrary concept

2017-05-29 06:32:08 UTC

which apparently many people understand in countless ways

2017-05-29 06:32:22 UTC

and it's implementation has always led to thousands of deaths and the dehumanization of people.

2017-05-29 06:32:27 UTC

@PremYattani Communism is very specifically defined. As well as the beginning of the plan to get there.

2017-05-29 06:32:33 UTC

Human Nature, the core fundamental behavior and tendencies of Human Beings that cannot be changed.

2017-05-29 06:32:47 UTC

That is not to say that, the philosophy of "communism" does not have something beneficial to offer to society.

2017-05-29 06:32:51 UTC

@Deleted User Human Nature can be changed, easily.

2017-05-29 06:32:54 UTC

No

2017-05-29 06:33:14 UTC

I think the history of Communist societies shows that not to be the case.

2017-05-29 06:33:16 UTC

Human nature is absolute, but what human nature is, is a spiritual/philosophical question.

2017-05-29 06:33:27 UTC

One that must be deeply contemplated

2017-05-29 06:33:37 UTC

But, contemplation has been done by people before us

2017-05-29 06:33:45 UTC

@PremYattani Nothing is absolute. The universe is in constant motion and change.

2017-05-29 06:34:03 UTC

And it is quite apt that we might peruse the the understandings of those gyaanis of the past

2017-05-29 06:34:05 UTC

the wise men

2017-05-29 06:34:19 UTC

@Deleted User So humans have always existed in the same exact form and didn't evolve?

2017-05-29 06:34:33 UTC

The universe has the manifest and the unmanifest. The unmanifest is primordial potential.

2017-05-29 06:34:37 UTC

That is forever true

2017-05-29 06:34:48 UTC

Have you ever considered the scope of that change? As in it could take hundreds of thousands of years to effect it?

2017-05-29 06:34:49 UTC

the womb of manifestation

2017-05-29 06:34:50 UTC

God

2017-05-29 06:34:52 UTC

Truth

2017-05-29 06:35:01 UTC

Many people have given many names

2017-05-29 06:35:05 UTC

To the absoliute

2017-05-29 06:35:08 UTC

absolute*

2017-05-29 06:35:21 UTC

@PremYattani The universe is also deterministic. It has potential but its trajectory is not supernatural.

2017-05-29 06:35:26 UTC

The absolute is our true nature.

2017-05-29 06:35:29 UTC

Why put so much effort into changing Human nature instead of forming an ideology that can actually work with it and build off of it?

2017-05-29 06:35:49 UTC

You can say everything is supernatural or nothing is supernatural

2017-05-29 06:35:52 UTC

@Deleted User Because the human form can be improved.

2017-05-29 06:36:11 UTC

There are already ideologies @Deleted User

2017-05-29 06:36:18 UTC

Sikhism

2017-05-29 06:36:23 UTC

Is mine

2017-05-29 06:36:27 UTC

To what end? To not want better things? To have not a hint of ambition?

2017-05-29 06:36:34 UTC

Ambition is natural

2017-05-29 06:36:58 UTC

People are not ants and bees.

2017-05-29 06:37:05 UTC

@Deleted User To have economic freedom and freedom from exploitation.

2017-05-29 06:37:07 UTC

To oppress and do injustice to others is the evil in our society

2017-05-29 06:37:38 UTC

And it is due to spiritual darkness that people live in ego, greed, anger, lust and attachment

2017-05-29 06:37:41 UTC

That's what I want too, so what's so special about your version that you have to change the fundamental nature of Humanity?

2017-05-29 06:37:54 UTC

@PremYattani What is the absolute nature of man, Singh?

2017-05-29 06:38:34 UTC

Bhaaee, that we all share one light, and we are all equal in the eyes of the sovereign

2017-05-29 06:38:50 UTC

That we ourselves are sovereign

2017-05-29 06:39:06 UTC

as we each must come before god by ourselves

2017-05-29 06:39:28 UTC

@Deleted User Exploitation occurs when there is control of the means of production by a few over the many. You cannot fix this without changing society's relationship to production.

2017-05-29 06:39:35 UTC

Fascism = organic state = cycling shit to match the needs of the people and adheres to natural order

2017-05-29 06:39:54 UTC

Fascism is more revolutionary than Marxism, and doesn't promise utopia at the end

2017-05-29 06:39:58 UTC

@Deleted User thank you for Summarizing

2017-05-29 06:40:02 UTC

As if you'd need utopia anyway

2017-05-29 06:40:16 UTC

What is fascism?

2017-05-29 06:40:25 UTC

I only know that Hitler and Mussolini were fascists

2017-05-29 06:40:33 UTC

and that their regimes were not good.

2017-05-29 06:40:47 UTC

>Hitler was not good

2017-05-29 06:40:51 UTC

@Deleted User That's why Fascism is inferior. It is a cycle with no determine resolution, instead of an upwards spiral, towards Communism.

2017-05-29 06:40:54 UTC

ethnic cleansing is not good

2017-05-29 06:40:59 UTC

hot take of the century lol

2017-05-29 06:41:08 UTC

Marxism doesn't either MarxISTs are who defined an end goal

2017-05-29 06:41:14 UTC

Revolution implies continuity

2017-05-29 06:41:38 UTC

The indian state tried to ethnically cleanse Sikhs too

2017-05-29 06:41:45 UTC

They wiped out almost an entire generation

2017-05-29 06:41:50 UTC

in the 80's/90's

2017-05-29 06:42:00 UTC

>ethnic cleansing

2017-05-29 06:42:07 UTC

A peoples' race and uniqueness is something worth preserving, and they have every right to remove those who wish to destroy it.

2017-05-29 06:42:07 UTC

>implying the Germans ethnic cleansed anyone

2017-05-29 06:42:24 UTC

I can't be mad, everyone's taught that bullshit at birth.

2017-05-29 06:42:34 UTC

Used to pick up any Sikh off the streets, under the excuse of them being terrorist and shoot them in fake encounters, torture people and rape women.

2017-05-29 06:42:37 UTC

There's no reason really to question it

2017-05-29 06:42:48 UTC

However false it may be

2017-05-29 06:42:52 UTC

?

2017-05-29 06:43:05 UTC

What are you saying @Deleted User ?

2017-05-29 06:43:15 UTC

@PremYattani I don't know what place you're talking about but it doesn't really sound like what we're talking about.

2017-05-29 06:43:28 UTC

@Deleted User What are we talking about?

2017-05-29 06:43:29 UTC

I'm saying there are conspiracy theories that you believe in that help cause a bias you have towards a nation of people

2017-05-29 06:43:36 UTC

Or at least a previous stage of this nation

2017-05-29 06:43:38 UTC

Fascism and Marxism

2017-05-29 06:43:47 UTC

I thought we were just talking and this was a relevant sort of tangent

2017-05-29 06:43:53 UTC

It has to do with governments

2017-05-29 06:44:08 UTC

In a way, yes.

2017-05-29 06:44:14 UTC

I can't recall what compelled me to say, I'm actually high af ๐Ÿ˜‚

2017-05-29 06:44:23 UTC

@Deleted User I said resolution, not revolution. Don't worry, I am a bit dyslexic too.

2017-05-29 06:44:42 UTC

I have way too much energy for 1:44 AM

2017-05-29 06:45:02 UTC

The resolution to all our ills is proper engagement with our environment, abundance yet modest living, and opportunities

2017-05-29 06:45:06 UTC

Nothing is permanent, never be fooled into thinking you can create a permanent situation

2017-05-29 06:45:14 UTC

Our earth is being destroyed by large corporations

2017-05-29 06:45:25 UTC

and mainstream media

2017-05-29 06:45:38 UTC

and banks

2017-05-29 06:45:42 UTC

and such

2017-05-29 06:45:47 UTC

Global Warming is BS but Globalist Corparations are still a problem regardless.

2017-05-29 06:45:49 UTC

@Deleted User It's not a permanent state, it is a tipping point into a new reality, which is the platform for new sets of progress.

2017-05-29 06:45:57 UTC

You know who else partook in strong environmental protection? The NSDAP

2017-05-29 06:45:59 UTC

Global warming is not BS

2017-05-29 06:46:11 UTC

You know who else BTFO corporations and industrialists? The NSDAP

2017-05-29 06:46:11 UTC

I just took a climate and weather class this last year

2017-05-29 06:46:24 UTC

@Deleted User You would know that if you even studied your enemies ideology.

2017-05-29 06:46:26 UTC

Our proffessor saw fit to present us a lot of data.

2017-05-29 06:46:29 UTC

The Nazi party did more for the environment than the Commie party ever did.

2017-05-29 06:46:36 UTC

Global warming is definitely a thing.

2017-05-29 06:46:38 UTC

I don't have many enemies

2017-05-29 06:46:53 UTC

Man-made global warming is not an issue

2017-05-29 06:47:00 UTC

>our professor

2017-05-29 06:47:06 UTC

It is definitely and issue

2017-05-29 06:47:11 UTC

an*

2017-05-29 06:47:12 UTC

What field?

2017-05-29 06:47:13 UTC

@Deleted User Communists are not your enemies?

2017-05-29 06:47:22 UTC

It was a natural science class

2017-05-29 06:47:31 UTC

They're mine (in a sense) @Deleted User

2017-05-29 06:47:32 UTC

It was climate and weather

2017-05-29 06:47:43 UTC

Good, interesting, learned a lot

2017-05-29 06:48:07 UTC

@Deleted User Why would they be? I am not physically fighting them on the field of battle and as far as I've experienced their worst is mere loud barking.

2017-05-29 06:48:59 UTC

SJWs, Globalist Jews, and third world savages are more of my enemies.

2017-05-29 06:49:17 UTC

@Deleted User Well then, I would still invite you to widen your political education before you make any more mis characterisations.

2017-05-29 06:49:33 UTC

Mischaracterization about what?

2017-05-29 06:49:48 UTC

@Deleted User Communism is not a final absolute state.

2017-05-29 06:49:59 UTC

It is presented as a means to an end

2017-05-29 06:50:23 UTC

Isn't that the point?

2017-05-29 06:50:43 UTC

Yes. It is the way to transform humanity into a higher stage.

2017-05-29 06:50:54 UTC

What is this "higher stage"

2017-05-29 06:51:18 UTC

Scroll up. It is economic emancipation and freedom from exploitation.

2017-05-29 06:51:33 UTC

Define freedom

2017-05-29 06:51:59 UTC

I've heard a myriad of descriptions from
>NOT CAPITALISM
to
>mutual anarchaic collectivism

2017-05-29 06:52:00 UTC

I can just as easily save up money and start a business as most everyone else, that's not exploitation.

2017-05-29 06:52:03 UTC

Fromย each according to hisย ability,ย to each according to his need

2017-05-29 06:52:07 UTC

@Deleted User I said 'freedom from' as in, absence from oppressive force of

2017-05-29 06:52:19 UTC

@Aidan Oy vey stop being such a national socialist!

2017-05-29 06:52:34 UTC

Exploitation is stealing the surplus labor of working people. also lol

2017-05-29 06:52:42 UTC

And who owns the means of production?

2017-05-29 06:52:53 UTC

If I own a business and hire people am I exploiting them?

2017-05-29 06:52:57 UTC

yes

2017-05-29 06:52:59 UTC

@Deleted User The proletariat, which becomes everyone.

2017-05-29 06:53:04 UTC

How so?

2017-05-29 06:54:20 UTC

So do you consider any commune that has existed communist?

2017-05-29 06:54:56 UTC

You are stealing their surplus labor value. That is, the worth of the labor they produce is what you would profit from, yet you require them to create wealth. You steal their labor, and contribute nothing to it

2017-05-29 06:55:11 UTC

@Deleted User No. Only USSR up until Khrushchev then there was revisionism and decline.

2017-05-29 06:55:17 UTC

That sounds like an unjust trade rather than thievery

2017-05-29 06:55:32 UTC

Maybe Albania and a few others.

2017-05-29 06:55:36 UTC

How am I stealing it? If they voluntarily agree to work for me knowing the parameters of them working for me how is that wrong?

2017-05-29 06:55:49 UTC

>voluntarily

2017-05-29 06:55:54 UTC

>USSR up to Kruschev
You consider THAT a dictatorship of the proletariat?

2017-05-29 06:56:09 UTC

If I'm not forcing them to then its voluntary they don

2017-05-29 06:56:12 UTC

It's not voluntary. They need money to survive

2017-05-29 06:56:15 UTC

@Deleted User All successful Socialist states follow the Soviet model, Marxist-Leninism

2017-05-29 06:56:18 UTC

have to choose me

2017-05-29 06:56:24 UTC

@Deleted User Yes, the best model of it.

2017-05-29 06:56:29 UTC

The question as to whether one is forced to take up a job or not is a red herring always

2017-05-29 06:56:34 UTC

^^

2017-05-29 06:56:35 UTC

Communists fall for it the most

2017-05-29 06:56:41 UTC

And just did

2017-05-29 06:56:52 UTC

They don't last though, they stagnate and collapse. @Deleted User

2017-05-29 06:57:29 UTC

ill take a step back here then, let you guys handle this

2017-05-29 06:57:32 UTC

@Deleted User Lasted long enough to transform USSR into a superpower, oh, and that's after crushing 80% of the Wehrmacht.

2017-05-29 06:58:09 UTC

It still didn't even last into the 21st century, in the end it failed.

2017-05-29 06:58:10 UTC

If you don't work you go to Gulag.

2017-05-29 06:58:26 UTC

@Deleted User
>The USSR
>A successful SOCIALIST state
There were classes, there were bourgeois.
The government officials and the bureaucrats were elevated/venerated in that society, not the workers. The workers were at most nominally appreciated yet they were treated poorly especially in the beginning.

2017-05-29 06:58:37 UTC

I would just say you don't eat and save the resources but whatever. @Deleted User

2017-05-29 06:58:45 UTC

the ussr is not some infallible thing

2017-05-29 06:58:53 UTC

@Deleted User So? This is just the beginning. The Battering Ram has just reached the gates. Communist theory is ongoing.

2017-05-29 06:59:25 UTC

It has failed, Communism is in decline while Fascism is on the rise the future power is clear.

2017-05-29 06:59:38 UTC

>forced labor camps
Germany is guilty of it as well. There is nothing socialist about slavery.

2017-05-29 06:59:45 UTC

all of us want to take what was done and trim the fat

2017-05-29 07:00:08 UTC

no the ussr did not achieve communism

2017-05-29 07:00:21 UTC

A command economy will never be as innovative or effecient as a market one.

2017-05-29 07:00:22 UTC

nor did it even achieve socialism probably.

2017-05-29 07:00:28 UTC

@Deleted User There were no bourgeoisie, but their were bureaucrats, yes. This is necessary to structure society to defend it against imperialism. What good are your theorise if you cannot defend them?

2017-05-29 07:00:35 UTC

(with my limited knowledge on the subject)

2017-05-29 07:00:49 UTC

Its not about efficiency in communism

2017-05-29 07:00:57 UTC

It really shouldn't be.

2017-05-29 07:01:09 UTC

Then what is it about? Just being equal?

2017-05-29 07:01:15 UTC

ye

2017-05-29 07:01:16 UTC

The bosses lording over the industry were the bourgeois. If the workers decided to not work or to use the product themselves they would be shot. Even shitty capitalists can't do that.

2017-05-29 07:01:28 UTC

a core concept of it

2017-05-29 07:01:36 UTC

is equality

2017-05-29 07:01:44 UTC

>defend against imperialism
Empire defending against rival empires?

2017-05-29 07:01:54 UTC

But why? When everyone is the same and has the same things you just get a bleak and stagnant society.

2017-05-29 07:01:58 UTC

but some of us like to think of it as equality of unique individuals

2017-05-29 07:02:01 UTC

dumby

2017-05-29 07:02:21 UTC

you wants some liberating shit

2017-05-29 07:02:46 UTC

let me pull out the good stuff, one sec

2017-05-29 07:02:56 UTC

@Deleted User The difference is that the relationship to production is the same for every one. And the Party uses objective theory to progress society. It is necessary development where the expertise is not yet there. It is always developing. The USSR constitution was changed twice in 10 years. Step by step. That is dialectics.

2017-05-29 07:03:55 UTC

TO move humanity to a stage where is can have economic emancipation.

2017-05-29 07:04:19 UTC

People arent the same, and an equal society wouldn't require that of anyone. Instead, people can equally pursue their skills and passions, limited not by class and income.

2017-05-29 07:04:41 UTC

what

2017-05-29 07:04:43 UTC

says the fascist

2017-05-29 07:04:55 UTC

feels

2017-05-29 07:05:01 UTC

Dammit I'm more used to talking instead of typing.

2017-05-29 07:05:19 UTC

If exploitation exists anywhere within system, even the king can be subject to it. Only without exploitation in the system can you be said to be truly free from it.

2017-05-29 07:06:00 UTC

But what do you really gain from that freedom? How does it make peoples' lives better?

2017-05-29 07:06:09 UTC

fuck freedom

2017-05-29 07:06:16 UTC

@Deleted User More progress is possible.

2017-05-29 07:06:16 UTC

read up on ownness

2017-05-29 07:06:37 UTC

Progress in what sense?

2017-05-29 07:07:10 UTC

@Deleted User Technology, industry, production...

2017-05-29 07:07:29 UTC

@Deleted User But it wasn't in the USSR, there were clear and highly seperated strata. The workers, the bosses, and the bureaucrats (CPSU)

2017-05-29 07:07:39 UTC

@Aidan
Define fascism

2017-05-29 07:07:49 UTC

That can all be just as easily accomplished by Fascist states.

@Deleted User Depends what you mean by strata. It was authoritarian. Whole society was mobilised towards Socialism. The economy was militarised, but the means of production was public. An army needs generals.

2017-05-29 07:09:14 UTC

define communism

2017-05-29 07:09:20 UTC

Me?

2017-05-29 07:09:24 UTC

2017-05-29 07:10:37 UTC

Communism = Classes are eliminated except for working class, property is cooperatively shared between the working class

2017-05-29 07:10:41 UTC

I understand fascism as an authoritarian method of organizing society where everyone acts as a cog for the machine that is the state, for the good of the state.

2017-05-29 07:10:56 UTC

If that definition is fucked up in some way go ahead and BTFO me I'm tired as shit

2017-05-29 07:11:01 UTC

no classes are abolished entirely

2017-05-29 07:11:08 UTC

@Deleted User Capitalism or private ownership suffocates progress. In the sense that many ideas are never allowed to be tested. There is alienation to the workers.

>Fascism
>authoritarianism

2017-05-29 07:11:35 UTC

Fascism is an Authoritarian state that uses its authority to serve the interest of its people regardless of class.

2017-05-29 07:11:37 UTC

What if I told you fascism isn't inherently authoritarian

2017-05-29 07:11:41 UTC

private property as we understand it would be abolished as it would not be needed, though this is distinct from person property.

2017-05-29 07:11:44 UTC

wooooooah

2017-05-29 07:11:46 UTC

what

2017-05-29 07:11:49 UTC

2017-05-29 07:12:01 UTC

Sorry, i know it isnt necessarily authoritarian in theory.

2017-05-29 07:12:14 UTC

What is so inherintly bad about private property?

2017-05-29 07:12:30 UTC

It has historically been, but that doesnt mean it has to be.

2017-05-29 07:12:31 UTC

it's a state it has to be authoritarian dinguses.

2017-05-29 07:12:43 UTC

@Deleted User It causes exploitation. Please read Marx and Engels.

2017-05-29 07:13:14 UTC

@Deleted User You're asking us to do your book report for you.

2017-05-29 07:13:29 UTC

private property is not my property

2017-05-29 07:13:37 UTC

but property given to me by the grace of law

2017-05-29 07:13:48 UTC

a spook

2017-05-29 07:13:48 UTC

How does owning land cause exploitation?

2017-05-29 07:14:50 UTC

2017-05-29 07:14:52 UTC

progress and poverty rails on owning land and not developing it as exploitive very well if i'm correct

2017-05-29 07:14:58 UTC

its not even that long

2017-05-29 07:15:20 UTC

@dindins
@Aidan
Fascism has no specific political nor economic system tied to it at its core, it uses them as tools and disposes of them just as easily as adapts

2017-05-29 07:15:29 UTC

fascism

2017-05-29 07:15:31 UTC

If you have then why don't you just explain it to me? How does me owning 20 acres of land cause exploitation?

2017-05-29 07:15:32 UTC

Authoritarianism has its use as much as freedom

2017-05-29 07:15:48 UTC

2017-05-29 07:15:58 UTC

2017-05-29 07:16:00 UTC

Corporatism was used to mean guilds by Mussolini

2017-05-29 07:16:03 UTC
