Hey it's the "religion is the root of all evil" and "Marxism is made up bullshit" guy. :sus-deep:
Cherish this moment, it's not every day we get to dunk on libs on our own turf. That was the only fun part about still being on :reddit-logo:
How do libs even find this place lol. Like we're some obscure leftist forum that maybe gets more users though a watermarked image that gets 5 upvotes on :reddit-logo: . Amazing occurrence
Marxism is bullshit but "critical thinking" and atheism will somehow establish full communism apparently according to them.
When you're definitely not a 14 year old r/atheism user from r*ddit
I'm not a Lib.
marxism is made up bullshit.
So what do you actually believe then?
Like a true leftist they have committed themselves to being contrarian and criticism of leftists
But what does communism mean to you? And how do you plan to achieve it without Marxist based thought and theory?
As you've said communism is a stateless classes society. So how do you plan to achieve that without a way to analyse class struggle, social conflict, and the way it influences the current world, the economy, relations, etc?
Then what is the point of being a communist/leftist if you don't plan to fight for or achieve anything?
person who thinks enough phone calls can make the US declare war on Israel is here to educate you
How do you analyze and understand the way the world operates, what drives conflict, what causes change?
depends. I try to avoid religious beliefs and other bad ways of knowing
I'm more interested in how a 15-year-old Redditor from 2010 got transported to 2021
I can’t wait for the anti-critical-thinking fad on the left to die out
considering the ways that an inference could be wrong, rejecting invalid ways of knowing
Well those are things you don't believe. I'm asking what you do believe. What, for example, is a good way of knowing?
"Critical thinking" is not a framework. It needs rules, guidelines, to mean anything. Maybe a question will help:
What motivates and maintains capitalism as a system? What is an effective method of resistance?
There are decades worth of books written on this topic and you have clearly read none of them.
Perhaps you should? I mean you claim to be all for critical thinking but refuse to engage with the literature you claim to refute.
At least you admit you're full of shit and not even trying to engage in good faith. Enjoy your inevitable ban.
try to be honest and engage in good faith. when you make things up, it means you aren’t able to participate in a discussion
if leftists didn’t have these brainworms we would have communism millenia ago. please try to be rational :-(
Marx was an accomplished and brilliant economist and just because someone says they're doing something for religious reasons doesn't mean they are.
Even human sacrifice for instance which in the Mediterranean areas for instance was done in times of crop failure and served a material purpose of reducing the burden on food reserves. There's almost always a secular reason for horrifying acts if you look for it
I was thinking critically for instance I noticed that your statement was wildly generic and had little to no basis in reality beyond an ideological opposition to religion although to be honest the Marx thing just sounds contrarian
It’s meant for you. I wish I could help you to be able to think critically. Maybe this is all just a fad and it will pass, I hope so.
By think critically do you mean blindly agree with everything you say.
they would assume you meant "go to war with Israel against the Palestinians"
No. The US will just fuck it up even more. The US should just get our of the Middle East and stop bankrolling Israel. Also this is just more :vote:™️ logic. The system is the problem, phoning representatives is going to do very little. They've already been self selected mostly by the system for following the imperial status quo in exchange for power or money. If you really want to phone a representative, make sure they're left leaning or genuine in some way so you aren't wasting your breath. Attending a protest in support of Palestine will accomplish 100x more than phoning your most likely shitty republican representative who believes Israel needs to exist so that they can be raptured and go to Supply Side Jesus heaven.
I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say. I've edited my comment with further detail.
Hello senator, yes, this is one of your constituents speaking. We need to invade Israel and help the Palestinian people liberate themselves from apartheid. I want you to act now. Thank you, have a nice day
this is how the US normally deals with international issues so as an average American this is just the logical solution. you can even negotiate down to embargo Israel. all you have to do is a form a big angry mob and march on Washington after calling your representative.
We can’t win economic progress, but we might be able to win this one.
