Me. I am an idealist

Ah

I see

Well, why don't you tell me about your politics?

Well, I would find myself on Right, I guess. Maybe far Right. Though I don't subscribe to many Right Wing ideas

Okay, so why idealism?

"equality" if anything is based around bringing equality it can only bring people down. Generally there are places you can reduce disadvantage, such as healthcare. But true equality eh. I dont see that happening. Either way what is going on

Because materialism does not explain mind, and Dualism fails to explain Chalmer's Problem

Originally I was stating that Marxism is not about equality, or rather communism. Because as you said, at most equality can only be gained in *some* respect or inequality can only be reduced to some minimums

Materialism in terms of physicalism can explain mind, I would actually say idealism just shifts the question of the mind

marxism isnt about equality?

It cannot. For it to explain that, it would require to explain qualia

And intentionality

As far as mind goes, materialism fails horribly. We have recordings of consciousness long after the cells and neurons go iselectric meaning there are no brainwaves, meaning according to any materialism view, consciousness no longer exists. However there is evidence and quite a few cases of this being the case, this may in fact be the case for NDE's and the whole light phenomena which only 20% of dead experience

the rest come back

No, to be clear equality in some respects can be a result of communism, but Marxism is first and foremost a analytical method, and communism is the result, to which communism seeks to abolish class

Why would Marxism/Communism abolish class? What is wrong with class?

I cna see abolishing class socially, as in the construct of class and the attitudes. However is this good? Is it possible to abolish class physically and materialistically. Is that right in any way? I can see the case for preventing radical materialism and accumulation of absurd wealth, however beyond that?

Personally I do think that money needs to flow, CEO's shouldn't be making say 1000X or 10k times more than the floor worker who can barely get by. This leads to economic issues in and of itself

You mean shouldn't be?

No. I am Right Wing obviously

And I want to be clear, class in this sense is not defined by the amount of money one makes, or whether or not a boss exists, bosses are not an issue

I meant the person above said

"CEO's should be making..."

But the context made it sound like they meant to say shouldn't

oh wait they shouldn't

my bad

Is cool, I gotcha dude

I think on this we have common ground

My issue is not people being richer, nor the existence of a boss, but the relationships to production

In some form or fashion working people should have democratic control of their work place and receive in full the value of their labour

That means no boss, lol.

You can elect a boss

Someone's job can be a manager

A boss who is accountable to the workers is ideal

But would you allow him to exercise his power even if he fails a majority test for a specified duration?

Likely he would be replaced

So, he is boss in name only, right? It is more like a direct democratic system

Management is obviously necessary

"in theory" "what it could be" "likely" "possibly"

Yes it is like a direct democratic system
