Is altruism self centred?

2017-07-12 23:56:39 UTC  

They'll tell you thay class-cooperation is proof that it isn't so self centered.

2017-07-12 23:57:06 UTC  

Class-cooperation for what ends? It's own.

2017-07-12 23:57:46 UTC  

Well imagine going into that argument not knowing how fascism has worked in the past.

2017-07-12 23:58:15 UTC  

Okay.

2017-07-12 23:58:25 UTC  

I see militarism and bravado.

2017-07-12 23:58:30 UTC  

Same

2017-07-12 23:59:09 UTC  

Nazism, Italian fascism and falangism feature strict violent hierarchies.

2017-07-12 23:59:17 UTC  

Nothing I want to be apart of.

2017-07-12 23:59:35 UTC  

Mostly based off of pretty arbitrary bullshit.

2017-07-13 00:00:07 UTC  

I agree. It values mythology over theory. It is a lie, in the end.

2017-07-13 00:00:22 UTC  

>muh peoples

2017-07-13 00:05:08 UTC  

I don't even mind the idea of "civic - nationalism" or patriotism

2017-07-13 00:05:49 UTC  

I'm not really a fan of using it to justify an oppressive system

2017-07-13 00:06:05 UTC  

Usually the folks who push it are disingenuous

2017-07-13 00:06:52 UTC  

I suppose it has its uses, and is somewhat natural, but it lacks a wider perspective, which in my opinion also limits it. Having a global perspective is important, especially nowadays, to make good decisions.

2017-07-13 00:07:34 UTC  

When pushed, patriots will retreat to "not my problem", and this is bad.

2017-07-13 00:27:08 UTC  

Hmm

2017-07-13 00:27:34 UTC  

I feel like my country only manages to make things worse for other countries

2017-07-13 00:28:07 UTC  

I like cooperation and international solidarity

2017-07-13 00:28:34 UTC  

I would love if the leftists of the Americas were both constructive and cooperative.

2017-07-13 00:30:08 UTC  

Me too. Capitalists also love patriots because of the 'me first' mentality. It is no coincidence that America is both the biggest capitalist power and the most patriotic.

2017-07-13 00:31:14 UTC  

Nah a lot of Americans hate America

2017-07-13 00:31:30 UTC  

Not the majority.

2017-07-13 00:32:07 UTC  

Fascist governments are the most patriotic

2017-07-13 00:32:18 UTC  

Not hyper capitalistic

2017-07-13 00:32:46 UTC  

Well, Fascists are the just the guard dogs of capitalism.

2017-07-13 00:33:30 UTC  

Despite being enemies of free capitalist countries

2017-07-13 00:34:21 UTC  

In name only. They entrench class and private property harder than anyone.

2017-07-13 00:35:01 UTC  

If Communism wasn't a threat, Fascism wouldn't exist.

2017-07-13 00:39:31 UTC  

Even if you don't want to believe that fascists were buddy buddy with capitalism

2017-07-13 00:40:00 UTC  

Falangism definitely played nice

2017-07-13 00:52:32 UTC  

I haven't watched it

2017-07-13 00:52:40 UTC  

But I know it's shit

2017-07-13 00:52:46 UTC  

Ideological watchmojo

2017-07-13 00:52:54 UTC  

You're watch mojo

2017-07-13 00:52:57 UTC
