RE: Ideologies? Going In The Other Direction, Because I Want To Know, Where It Leads To
I guess both of us might had some kind of epiphany yesterday. At least that’s how your post sounds to me like.
You’re doing absolutely right about not giving anything to follower numbers because they mean nothing. You will see if you take the time and scroll through them that most of them are bots, follow for follow people and stuff like that.
@sergiomendes made a video some days ago where he said “Please unfollow me” because he has more than 1,200 followers and sometimes gets 7 upvotes for his content.
I don’t understand why some people still think communism is something bad. All of those ideal concepts would work properly if there was no abuse within the system and everybody would play by the rules. But it seems that this is part of the human nature and that’s why none of those concepts will ever work.
My German teacher always told me “German is a very precise language” and English is as well. Or is it just an accident that “communism” and “community” do have the same root?
But it’s strange that one of them seems to be okay and the other one doesn’t...
The difference is that the one is a system of violence and force.
And the other is an organigly formed voluntary living together, where violence is not justified to force your opinion on someone else.
The problem with not forcing anyone is, that you will always have lots of greedy people who don't care about community. And those will be the ones with the most money and following that they will also be the ones with the most power. I don't believe that there can be freedom, when there are people who have lots of power. They will automatically be some kind of "rulers" or "government". I don't want to live in a society everything is determined by those who have money. Isn't it something we already see everywhere in the world: that for some it will never be enough and that they will do anything to get more money? So they would not do, what is the best for the community, but the best for them? And that would determine the lives of all others. What will mean, those on top will be free, while the rest struggles? In fact I think this is already happening everywhere and I don't like it. It's not that I don't understand your moral point of view. But I have problems with believing that everybody will act morally enough that the wealth and freedom of the whole community are more important than the own freedom and wealth. In fact it leads me into thinking that it's nearly impossible to create something where everybody feels free.
Does making some future predictions on the world not behaving according to your will give you the right, to make me obey (or make me do forced labor), and escalate your violence until I obey or pay, and if I don't obey you have the right to violate, lock me up, or if i resist.. kill me?
^^ I also noticed the similarity of those words, that's why I put them so close together. I like that you mention it. :-) Communism is associated with the dictatorships we have seen, build on this ideology. I guess that's the reason why nobody likes it. But I have also seen anarchists here, that believe, the best way of creating anarchy, is forcing others into it. That's a contradiction. I now believe we can't achieve something like "everybody is free". Isn't freedom more like a feeling than a political system? It depends very much on the own attitude, if someone feels free or not. I think money is very important to feel at least a little free. So everybody should at least have enough to survive? As I said, I meanwhile don't agree to any ideology. So I think democracy is really the best we can achieve. But our democracies are poor ones. More like "pre-democracies". Democracy itself is something becoming more and more unpopular. But I think it's more because they are not democratic enough. So people now are searching for something better and start liking ideologies again. Since democracy is meant to be, that everybody should be free in thinking and the people should be the rulers, to me it isn't something bad. It's just done bad. The older our democratic systems get, the more they don't fit to our time anymore. I guess, this is what we see everywhere in the world at the moment.
