The global oligarchy’s favorite in DC

Marx wrote a book on capitalism and prescribed an asinine scientific socialism of authoritarian state capitalism to pave the way for someday-communism. The same utopian goal the Chinese fascists are saying they’re trying to do.
“Communism” is rooted in the word “community”, IE rule of the people, by the people and for the people.
Please put away your pentagon talking point now and try to think more critically

Yeah. What of it?

You don’t read much.

I am a radical democrat
I believe in actual democracy. If they don’t, they’re not my brothers. DUH

>Direct democracy is impossible in anything but small tribes
The size works to our advantage. And so too would a free economy, that’s the abolition of taxes, bankers etc. The abolition of prisons too.
Where there need be international supervision, say transportation, air, sea, rail, you might have elected specialists, but that would be their sphere of influence alone. Criminal murder trials my call for elections for judge-juries …
All can work out once we collectively put our minds to it. It would be the most socially healthy world

Tribes? More like settled and interwoven thoroughly modern communities, and they cannot start international conflagrations known as wars, and would not start semi-large battles unless coached by large sections of religious sectarianism. In enlightened spaces we’d see at worst drunken fist fights over women or sporting events. What’s your issues with that?
>I SWEAR I WONT COME TO ANY DEMOCRATIC AGREEMENTS
You are free to walk away from them, and punish yourself in doing so.
>The war like will conquer
They’ve thus far been in control. THAT is the problem with the world right now, hence anarchist thought, bozo
There are no advantages to having sociopaths ruling over us in various stages of slavery. The benefits of technology have given us some freedoms and we like them, but the sociopaths are squandering this one time heritage of fossil fuel.
>Neurology
Scientific term, yet you seem to be denying evolutionary processes. Which is it with you?

> There is only a set amount of people who you can view as registering your in-group
Which is why communities of direct democracy are so vital to our health, happiness and prosperity.
Won’t you please research this and join us bring about a more perfect union?

>the appeal
Without money, corruption itself, and without elitist class structures, we would look forward to tighter, sharper and more responsible communities.
I started reading Thomas Paine when the so-called Arab Spring started. Common Sense is still a great read

Traitor!

I hear Rousseau already refuted him, William Blake, but most I’m most familiar with Thomas Paine. And Bill Watterson.
Perlman just shows the obvious. Hobbes was born into a small world with narrow vision. He chose to kiss its ass like so many others. Which is why you like him. He’s just as cowardly.

The Age of Reason, T. Paine

>Single piece of paper
Common Sense took a few pages
The colonists did it, despite Washington’s shoddy leadership

I did. It’s interesting, but the final stage is where I’m at

US education is abysmal, and the era is too remote and dry for most of the curious readers.
But lit is also made up of a lot of non-statesians.
They probably talk more about them on /his/

In no way has it ever preserved order.
It is for plunder alone

You come to the realization that there is no reincarnation, so this, your only life, becomes extremely important.

You misunderstand for humor’s sake, I trust.

That’s right. He’s a boomer author

Yup. Should have revolted

>Statism is leftism
Weak comeback. We’re talking anarchists. Full anti-state-capitalism
>libertarian
That’s liberalism you mean. Libertarianism is anarchism.
Marxian socialism is open to statism, so often enough fine with Israel in theory. It would be a better place if it were more like Cuba or even North Korea.

Just mentioned banking and usury because that’s usually on the minds of antisemitics.
Socialism came off the European immigration boats, some jewish, some not. But the ideas of utopian communes are an American tradition spread father afield than just New York. Various Anabaptists sects, Emerson went to a vegetarian one for a while. I even heard of a free love colony.

Leftism is the general idealism of the American revolution and its supposed spirit. Shays rebellion, the whiskey rebellion, the redneck rebellion. We fought off the taxation of the king only to be taxed by a sham republic.
