And I just gave you the best gold nuggets you'll ever find
We fundamentally disagree that unregulated capitalism can be abused and subverted to destroy cultures, even though Antonio Gramsci, godfather of Cultural Marxism, and subsequently the KGB, selected the institutions of capitalism for targeting in order to destroy Western nation states. You talk to me about ignoring history but it seems you're doing the same. We have collectively identified problems wihth our system and recommended changes. I eagerly await your solution, as I understand the value of a multi-pronged approach
All systems are capable of falling victim to the same thing
So fuck it?
Why not craft safeguards into your system of choice
Do what is proven to work and don't worry yourself too much about the flaws.
You need to enjoy life
What is proven to work
It's a gift to us for a reason
Well natsoc does not work
lol We literally don't know if it does
It is antithetical to moral principles on its own
Okay why
Man this is just like "communism will work this time, it only failed because the west interfered"
The seizure of private property and business first of all. And don't tell me every businessman was a criminal or a Jew.
"The Republic will work this time" is your argument. That or "no point in fixing it, screw culture, it has no value"
No, I don't support republics
We literally crafted the shortest-lives system to fail on its own merits
Culture belongs to people and the only way to keep it is to pass it on to your kids and teach them the value of it.
A million individuals is more important than a society
Agreed
This is where I tell you that I unironically support a caste system in this country
The responsibility of the Indo-Aryan upper caste was to ensure that the holy fire is passed down to the plebians
It worked damn well
And is fully compatible with the republic
In my case I never give myself an illusion that I am going to stop all crime or even make a dent in the crime rate. I just concern myself with one person at a time because the individual has value and all life is precious. It's not "people" I worry about, it's "this person, that person, and the other person" etc.
Republic is flawed. Of course all systems are, but a republic more so.
And that's fine. You do you. I naturally focus on the bigger picture
A presidential election in the US is basically giving a nuclear arsenal to the most popular kid in school
It is an arms deal basically
In any case, a caste system requires that the upper caste dictate what is morally acceptable for a society
If you will give me gibmedats. Free health insurance, free welfare and food stamps etc, I'll give you 3000 nuclear missiles
So my question becomes
Why is it okay for the upper caste to do it, but not the guvmint
Why is it okay for a monarch
You put faith in monarchy
I could make the exact same arguments against a monarchy that you make against natsoc, except I would have historical precedent to back me up other than "other nations defeated the monarchy"
Outside influences just like with natsoc
The fallibility of man
But we had a system that lasted a thousand years
