its rather that or state involvement

2018-11-15 00:58:11 UTC  

So like state capitalism

2018-11-15 00:58:21 UTC  

which should only be a last resort

2018-11-15 00:58:52 UTC  

so im right in assuming you put no confidence in anarchist tendencies

2018-11-15 00:59:19 UTC  

The only time anarchy is useful is for power to rise, competent power that is.

2018-11-15 00:59:59 UTC  

you put no confidence in the proletariat then\

2018-11-15 01:00:55 UTC  

let me guess, the common people have no sense

2018-11-15 01:02:07 UTC  

nonsense, in life they're needed for the elite to rise and for them to become elite

2018-11-15 01:02:18 UTC  

I am common people

2018-11-15 01:02:59 UTC  

and if common people degenerate then so be it.

2018-11-15 01:03:20 UTC  

that is the reality of life

2018-11-15 01:03:40 UTC  

Capitalism is part of reality

2018-11-15 01:03:50 UTC  

Communism and socialism is not

2018-11-15 01:05:34 UTC  

Also I want to see the slavs redeem themselves, I want them to grow competent. And maybe they will, but not with putin and its current constitution.

2018-11-15 01:06:10 UTC  

The slavs must stand on their own two feet by themselves

2018-11-15 01:06:29 UTC  

Only individually will they grow truly competent

2018-11-15 01:07:43 UTC  

interesting perspective

2018-11-15 01:08:07 UTC  

i have a few fundamental objections, but i suppose thats to be expected

2018-11-15 01:08:37 UTC  

Speak of them then

2018-11-15 01:11:04 UTC  

i mean first, you havnt really made an argument. you say the proletariat is needed to "rise and for them to become **elite**", eluding to some social mobility between strata, or does this mean revolution? This is objectively false under capitalism for many reasons, the simplest being inequality

2018-11-15 01:11:32 UTC  

through the consolidation of wealth and cultural reproduction

2018-11-15 01:12:18 UTC  

"if common people **degenerate** then so be it" is vague, and not an argument

2018-11-15 01:12:46 UTC  

"capitalism is part of reality" is not an argument

2018-11-15 01:13:02 UTC  

Inequality is the means to rise up. Rise as in gain individual status while gaining wealth. It is the ultimate way of living. Im not making an argument

2018-11-15 01:13:09 UTC  

Im simply stating the truth

2018-11-15 01:13:26 UTC  

and then the stuff about russians is a rant i guess not really pertinent

2018-11-15 01:13:36 UTC  

Rising up isnt pointless revolution although it may be useful

2018-11-15 01:13:55 UTC  

It was not to you it was to @Schutz

2018-11-15 01:14:09 UTC  

what is in **bold** are words that are not defined and require specification to properly understand the argument

2018-11-15 01:14:39 UTC  

Elite as in the rich and competent

2018-11-15 01:14:55 UTC  

the degenerate as in the poor and weak

2018-11-15 01:15:49 UTC  

inequality is the means to rise up, or the reason? you cannot use inequality to mount a revolution. inequality is a disparity between the rich and the poor, a divide which continues to grow as the state is used an institution to extract value and wealth from the working masses

2018-11-15 01:16:06 UTC  

perhaps equal operatunity is a must have but not equal outcomes

2018-11-15 01:16:45 UTC  

Inequality is the means and the individual reason.

2018-11-15 01:17:11 UTC  

If the revolution doesnt call for inequality then it is in vain

2018-11-15 01:17:11 UTC  

your definition of elite, are rich and competent always the criteria? are you implying to be rich one must be competent and if one is rich it is because they are competent

2018-11-15 01:17:23 UTC  

because inequality is inevitable

2018-11-15 01:17:54 UTC  

they are rich because they are the most competent in most cases

2018-11-15 01:18:15 UTC  

but in almost all cases they are competent in their own right and their own field, clearly

2018-11-15 01:18:31 UTC  

are the "degenerates" poor because they are weak, or are their competent among them

2018-11-15 01:18:57 UTC  

the degenerates are poor because they're weak
