  • When people are ready to engage in some deeper thoughts, then can start going into theory but until then just chipping away at the walls. If there are just one or two issues that people are really chewing over then lets chop it up together. What is going to help me, as today I just right my thoughts down, is that when I have a computer I can start filing away my and organising my notes. When the wall of text show downs happen then I too and copy and paste and furiously type away! This will definitely help me build a more complete understanding and allow me to stay cohesive in my analysis.

    You’re fighting the good fight comrade, keep it up!





  • This is the way, comrade! I am also planting the seeds of doubt. I got hit with the ‘are pro-russia’ and ‘concentration camps in xinjang’, and have been quietly flipping the script. “I don’t know that its pro-russia but more like anti-US’, and the alternative is what? Just keep voting for the status-quo? Thats pro-genocide”. (Voting for the workers party). “Concentration camps for that many people?? That would be fucking HUGE and you could see that from space.” (rikers comparison). It starts by helping people see that what they are led to believe is them being led by someone. We can do this together :)




  • Sorry, wall of text… I accept I have a nearly intractable position, however I dont need to have a docturate in theocracy to recognise the crutch it has served people to make sense of who they are and where they are and the conditions they live in and justify the unaccountable misery it has caused people.

    I also have studied some history to see the religious conflicts that have been going on in eurasia for the last 4500-3000 years. My experience biased and my gaps are africa and pre-colonial americas (as you see with my hand wave of animist and totemist). Using religion to hold power over others I find unacceptable and I do not believe that a theocracy is a desirable form of government. This is a religious class ruling over the people.

    To have no acknowledgement of the religous classes that ruled over swathes of people, and rules over people to this day, seems folly. A child born into this world has no way to seperate themselves from the religion of their parents and their community and that pains me.



  • Religion has been a moral burden on humanity and something we need to atone for at some point. I come from europe, and which flavor of christianity you believed in was enough of a cause to go to war. It has been the cause of an insurmountable amount of suffering and death.

    It was majestic walking into a cathedral for the first time and I have not even been near the vatican or avignon, but knowing that it was the hand of man that built it, in the name of a religious-moral compass, imagine if that labor was pointed towards building a better world for us.


  • This is a consequence I think of the usage of the word ‘state’, where people cannot see past the state-conflict label which is usually desrcibed as imperialism (because its capitalists using the state to extract commodities from other states). People are misinformed and under educated.

    The challenge with ‘socialism in one country’ as a descriptive is that to me it feels like a myopic lens if used to then describe the international class conflict. As state conflicts throughout history (ignoring things like peasant republic, theocracy, and so on) are usually the learned exploitation of capitalist colonialism, nationalism or imperialism. As uneducated people project the other class/state-conflicts with that ‘understanding’ they then mischaracter the PRC as “state capitalism” or the USSR as “socialist imperialism”.
