How does that work?

I'd guess that there is a population of people that want communism to win large enough that any story is good enough

But why does that become the Narrative?

because there are so many communists?

Why can't the other side do the same thing? Are there simply more of them?

this gets into the study of late stage civilizations

the internal and external proletariat

Hmm. That would actually make sense with some of the more theoretical work I've been doing

Well, 'work'

More like hypothesizing

late stage civilizations cant convince more people to be in favor than there are opposed

those in opposition seek to end the civilization

thats where we are

Ah, so in the absence of a unifying positive vision, destruction becomes the default consensus

yup

thats where we are

Ok, this fits

Chaos is the natural state of the universe.

Life is also a natural state, and it reverses chaos locally.

accepting that we are in the end, and knowing that it will end, the hope is for the better form to take root

But yes, this fits with my understanding of the life cycle of empire/civilization.

I don't see a better form emerging

I see a backwards form growing

My hope is in the scattering of seeds from the fall of the overgrown tree

It's evolution at work.

communism isn't a forward thinking idea

Messy but it has to happen.

its old and backwards

Go chaos, adaption and evolution!

No, communism is tried and tested and it sucks balls.

We need new forms.

they call it progressive, but its as old as can be

I don't like chaos @[DGI]tech but I accept that it is the raw material from which new forms are drawn.

But this is why I want a great number of competing sovereign polities.

I don't even think the better option if a progression

I think we swung past it

tribe life is communal

modern life is individual

we are swinging back because we passed the median

Yes and I believe a return to a family/tribe-centered life is part of the solution.

historically, we went way too far too fast
