It's not merely making up for past wrongs, it's just seizing power because having power is better than not having power.
They can dress it up in all the flowery language and inane justifications they want; it's still just all about power.
in that context, yeah
They will grab power, and wont give it up because that can harm them again
The system we currently have is one of, if not the, best to ever have existed in the history of humanity.
It's not perfect; nothing is.
But there is no clearly superior alternative, and certainly no clearly superior alternative that has actually existed in the real world.
its not abou harming them
its not about equality
its about them living in yachts
the drones might believe in doing good
but the activists running this shit just want power same as any sociopath
yeah i initially was refering to the drones when i said they really believe in equality, hence our disagreement earlier
Maybe not yachts; Mao lived a very simple life.
the upper people are totally in it for personal gain
drones barely believe in anything
The Kim regime loved their comforts though.
But the common denominator is power.
drones believe in "doing good", they just can't think what being good is, so they listen to what the preachers say
you see it yourself in those on the street interviews, they're usually 2 questions away from having nothing to say anymore
"good" is socially constructed; if their peers all tell them that whatever they are doing is moral and righteous, they feel wonderful.
Well, street interviewers probably look for the most retarded person they can find (though it's a target-rich environment at protests).
I dunno man. The Bolsheviks were born out of three years of brutal freezing slaughter and defeat in WW1.
I doubt it, Bolsheviks were like "dying" levels of poor,
Modern western world made people too comfy to start a "bolshevik" revolution
This is more like Weimar Germany.
Though not as pronounced of course.
I'm reminded of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYhB4AaAcqM
Obviously Aydin is a massive partisan, but she does a good job of covering the post-WW1 political situation.
Weimar Germany with a twist
nah, but from what i gather, this is a new wave of insanity,
As i understand it most of these radical leftists, are the children of middle-class people
They're the bourgoise they want to depose, and have never fought a war,
So instead of the uprising being the workers/the poor/the downtrodden
Its the rich, trying to use the poor as an excuse to attack the even richer
Well.. I was referring to the Politics of the area, The use of Propaganda to put a core group in power.
That's part. There's also a crapload of legit poor, mostly inner-city blacks, first generation latino immigrants, and illegals.
Although, I do not disagree with who is doing it.
well thats usually the plan with any group,
Use any means (tell any lies) propaganda, to get into power and then fix it so you stay in power so you maintain control
The end result is an Authoritarian system which has to scapegoat a population. In this case it seems to be the CIS White male that is going to be the target of abuse.
CIS whites are the new Jews
If you read (or listen to) Explaining Postmodernism it explains in great detail how Marx's class conflict got transformed into the intersectional conflict we see today.
I lack a lot of knowledge in that area, Guess I need to hit the books.
It's free.
It's on youtube as an audiobook.
And the PDF is on the prof's website.
Cool! Will look into it.. Thanks.
