politically that is
though, tbh, there's some things from the capitalist tradition I am interested in maintaining
I have absolutely no clue
Honestly thats fine
I struggle to call myself an An-Com or An-Syn I'm not quite sure either
Is "every individual having the basic capacity to pursue their interests and maintain their livelihood/be of good health" anywhere on the political spectrum?
Organising a system of production and distribution that doesnt empower a minority is probably the most important thing to keep on the checklist
I'd say thats libertarian in nature
not like those Rand fuck heads
@Nicholas91 True.
but you sound at least anti-authoritarian
Or, at least I agree
@Nicholas91 thats fure sure
*for
It isn't revolutionary if it isn't inclusive
I think vanguardism probably failed as an idea
I would definitely agree
Vanguardism?
It just created a new class system
rather than abolishing it
You just create a class of ruling intellectuals
who essentially own the means of production
This is what made me leave marxism as well
or rather ML
on behalf of the people
I don't agree with that view.
Interesting
(1) That's similar to Plato's view that Philosopher Kings should rule, which I wholly reject
ah
21st century communism has to have a whole new set of strategies and frameworks
sorry I thought you were disagreeing with us on it
For sure
but Capitalism changes it's frameworks
as well
at least as a means of preserving itself
Yeah capitalism always adapts
The issue is informing and educating people and awakening their consciousness to the system they live in.
Yeah so mass culture
Partially, capitalism sustains itself by the proletariat convincing the working class that capitalism actually benefits them, allowing the working class to dismiss the exploitation they face
