Today I learned there's a deep divide between pro-catgirl commies and anti-catgirl commies.
Maoism essentially continued these
It's why "that's not socialism" is something you will hear from us commonly
Because that person is arguing from a praxis/theory standpoint
For a comparison
are you suggesting maoism is derivated from a marxist base but is by definition not marxism
or is not by definition socialism
either way
It's like a liberal society that has severely abridged private property rights and no freedom of speech level of praxis violation
what's a praxis violation?
Praxis is the "how do we do it or accomplish it" of an ideology
It's often central to an ideology
as a matter of fact that does sound quite fine
ideologically
the issues I had with the very word mao are pretty much related to the actual policies that were enforced an enacted in china during that era
including certain limits on freedom of speech
Liberal praxis would be constitutional rights
Back
Or common liberal praxis
I.e to uphold natural, positive and negative human rights
:thonking:
I'm an ex libertarian by the way
I used to religiously back constitutional praxis
Still do like it
Actually
It stands the test of time

I'd describe myself as a center-left egalitarian individualist
there are two sections in this statement
center-left:
I think the cetrain values that socialism et al promote at least on an ideological level are _good_ (as in "ethical"), but I do also value freedom greatly. thus social democracy / a heavily regulated free market is the ideal compromise between these two values (in addition to what can reasonably implemented in practice, and what can not)
egalitarian individualist:
certain theological and philosophical though processes have simply led me to the conclusion that this is the natural state of all existence, and the way we should perceive the uninverse
to me this is more than a mere belief (even though I am technically an agnostic theist)
(and I don't support any one chosen religion or even the existence of organized religion in general)
>social democracy
You 2 look like people about to make sex
Well you have proven to be more politically literate then most
If this server is filled with ones such as you, perhaps it will have decent debates @Slkfd
I sure do hope so
Don't expect debates here
when I crack cold ones with the boys, we usually debate 4 hours or more and sing the rest
