It's like finding a needle in a haystack
I'm a hardcore commie, and equality isn't why I support it.
Read Malatesta you dorks
We don't want equal pay no matter what the job
We want equity
Anarchism? no thanks!
Why do you support communism then out of curosity Chaiske?
Equality isn't the end goal of Communism, in my opinion.
the end goal of communist is hyper individualism
coupled with utopia
Equality is certainly a good virtue, but it's not the driving force behind communism
HardMan... wait
individualism???
From each according to their ability, to each according to ther need is a maxim that presumes a society sufficiently technologically advanced as to make scarcity irrelevant.
thats like some Ayn Rand shit
Fuck Individualism
Ah so I see
Individuality can be pretty cancerous sometimes, though it does depend.
@Larry Skywalker individualism and collectivism aren't actually opposed to one another. This is a liberal lie and misconception
The idea behind the abolishment of Capitalism, from a Marxist perspective, is not because Capitalism results in inequality and Socialism results in less, and Communism in the least.
The idea is that Capitalism becomes unstable, untenable, and irrational.
Capitalism is supposed to be unstable though.
Companies die if they make shit products
Marxism doesn't have a traditional philosophy of 'Justice' as conceived in liberal politics.
I want garbage companies that don't give a shit about the consumer or the enviroment to die.
It simply critically examines Capitalism and determines that it's untenable.
In the long run, anyhow.
Hi
Individualism and collectivism aren't actually opposed to one another, the idea that they are is silly. One can be both individualist and collectivist. Self-interest ways plays a role, and it's not unreasonable to think that an individual would support collectivism because they see it as within their interests.
Collective individualism
Is the way to go
"It is within my best interest to support the collective"
ok Thanos i see what youre saying,
Makes sense.
I understand your sentiments regarding inherent instability of Capitalism driving companies to be better,
If you aren't a centrist, you don't have a brain.
But the myth of the efficiency of the market is simply untrue.
