from the book of dieterich

2017-06-04 20:55:21 UTC  

revisionism

2017-06-04 20:55:33 UTC  

and still with improvements

2017-06-04 20:55:37 UTC  

that's not on us to defend, i believe certain things but groups co-opt leftist rhetoric in order to gain power sometimes

2017-06-04 20:55:44 UTC  

i oppose that too

2017-06-04 20:55:56 UTC  

I understand you senfood

2017-06-04 20:56:04 UTC  

Point is, I think human nature is corruptive.

2017-06-04 20:56:12 UTC  

When I was an anarchist I based all my political thought in uncorruptibility

2017-06-04 20:56:17 UTC  

and I want to achieve it, we can do it

2017-06-04 20:56:36 UTC  

so, lets abolish unjust power structures

2017-06-04 20:56:37 UTC  

I think there's something fundamentally wrong with us as a species based on how all of our misery is self-manufactured

2017-06-04 20:56:43 UTC  

if humans are corruptive when in power

2017-06-04 20:56:44 UTC  

we can combine liquid democracy, consensus democracy, the academia and a culture of revision to achieve it

2017-06-04 20:56:54 UTC  

but I think first we need a vanguard to erase bourgeois ideology

2017-06-04 20:57:02 UTC  

I don't think it would help.

2017-06-04 20:57:26 UTC  

@Blebleh vanguardism freaks me out

2017-06-04 20:57:37 UTC  

how is that not just replacing the hierarchy with a different one

2017-06-04 20:58:05 UTC  

@not_matt The vanguard is an extension of the working class, of the most conscious and educated ones based in democratic centralism

2017-06-04 20:58:12 UTC  

It's like platformism but using a party

2017-06-04 20:58:23 UTC  

why do we need an extension of the working class to form the party

2017-06-04 20:58:29 UTC  

why not just the working class defending themselves

2017-06-04 20:58:42 UTC  

the "extension" just places one class above another

2017-06-04 20:58:46 UTC  

I'm not familiar with it

2017-06-04 20:58:46 UTC  

Didn't vanguardism lead to the bloodiest parts of the French Revolution?

2017-06-04 20:58:50 UTC  

because the working class can't all read the works of Marx, Engels, etc. and they are in conditions that they have to consent to prevent bourgeois ideology and revisionism

2017-06-04 20:59:25 UTC  

after a generation people maybe can take the power after a new education system is on

2017-06-04 20:59:39 UTC  

and the culture of revision

2017-06-04 20:59:52 UTC  

the ideas aren't only transferrable through academic study, and class consciousness can awaken based on working class organization and personal trust-based relationships

2017-06-04 21:00:37 UTC  

sure, and we should educate these people as possible in marxism; but we shouldn't let revisionist elements enter

2017-06-04 21:00:43 UTC  

because they bury the revolution

2017-06-04 21:01:00 UTC  

Good luck trying.

2017-06-04 21:01:42 UTC  

This all relies on people not behaving like people.

2017-06-04 21:01:49 UTC  

I can't be convinced.

2017-06-04 21:01:59 UTC  

there are ideological apparatuses of the state

2017-06-04 21:02:14 UTC  

No apparatus is perfect.

2017-06-04 21:02:19 UTC  

like the media, excessive hours of labour, education on economics (mainstream economics) working against us

2017-06-04 21:02:21 UTC  

thats what im saying @senfood

2017-06-04 21:02:26 UTC  

this is erased in a socialist society

2017-06-04 21:02:32 UTC  

Even if it's effective initially, it will erode over time

2017-06-04 21:02:36 UTC  

unjustified hierarchies are unjust, no matter how much they claim to represent justice

2017-06-04 21:02:45 UTC  

Nothing is completely erased.
