Seems related.

2017-06-13 02:04:45 UTC  

Why do you find fascism too dangerous?

2017-06-13 02:05:37 UTC  

Too volatile. Militaristic, patriotism bordering on paranoia, always aggressive.

2017-06-13 02:05:55 UTC  

Certainly valid.

2017-06-13 02:06:52 UTC  

I see it as impossible to succeed in the long term.

2017-06-13 02:07:17 UTC  

They often rely on a cult of personality as well.

2017-06-13 02:07:19 UTC  

Therefore its excess energies are a danger to all effected.

2017-06-13 02:07:47 UTC  

At least Marxist have a stable vision for the future.

2017-06-13 02:08:09 UTC  

How so?

2017-06-13 02:08:17 UTC  

Monarchist revival when

2017-06-13 02:08:56 UTC  

Marxism resolves the contradictions in society by removing the material antagonisms in society, but for Fascism it is always perpetual struggle without end.

2017-06-13 02:09:49 UTC  

At least that it the theory, which is infinitely better than Fascism's total lack thereof.

2017-06-13 02:10:47 UTC  

Sell me Monarchism, if you can.

2017-06-13 02:11:45 UTC  

And the Catholic answer to the class struggle is to mediate between the two.

2017-06-13 02:12:04 UTC  

Fascism non-answer is to ignore it and focus on external enemies.

2017-06-13 02:12:11 UTC  

Class Collaboration was heavily promoted by Jose Antonio Primo De Rivera and the Falange

2017-06-13 02:14:18 UTC

hello comrade

2017-06-13 02:17:36 UTC  

It does bother me than Marxism and Catholicism are irreconcilable. I would have liked to enjoy both together without contractions. Nonetheless, and strangely, my studies have lead me to study both of these and see where it leads.

2017-06-13 02:18:10 UTC  

What is it about marxism that attracts you?

2017-06-13 02:18:10 UTC  

How are you all?

2017-06-13 02:18:15 UTC  

I'm good, how are you?

2017-06-13 02:18:25 UTC  

I'm well.

2017-06-13 02:18:48 UTC  

Speaking from Marxist-Leninism, which has been my focus, the material analysis is quite good.

2017-06-13 02:20:02 UTC  

The theory has been somewhat proven in practice also, which makes it scientific.

2017-06-13 02:22:11 UTC  

But again, they offer opposite explanations, and as of yet I am unsure how to evaluate which has more merit.

2017-06-13 02:24:34 UTC  

Feuerbach, for instance, whose view were later adopted by Marx and Engels, offers and explanation for Christianity from the secular, human perspective. This is good and valid, but it does not address the reason and arguments posed by Aquinas and others, which are also valid.

2017-06-13 02:24:39 UTC  

The two are in competition.

2017-06-13 02:29:09 UTC  

It is annoying but I know that once this is resolved the answer will be very concrete and I will be able to determine which I stand on politics in the future.

2017-06-13 02:52:02 UTC  

The best argument *against* God is probably that his existence is not empirical. When Aquinas makes his arguments for the existence of God, it is deduced from reason alone. Empirically, as far as we know, God does not exist, although the possibility still remains.

2017-06-13 02:53:26 UTC  

This isn't disproven, but explained by the notion that God exists outside of physical things.

2017-06-13 02:53:33 UTC  

For regular purposes, mere possibility holds little relevance. But for God, the smallest potential can still hold highest consequences. Which is why reason alone is so tormenting.
