The war of words: Communist, Socialist and Capitalist, not much has changed, oh yea we have those Anarcho-capitaliststeemCreated with Sketch.

Not much has change, not much of has change. Today the war of words continue. Probably the Capitalist can claim victory over the Communist with the fall of the Soviet Union but the great divide still continue.

I enjoy the debates I come across here, as the different School of thought take the war of words to the blockchain. I myself, have jumped in a couple as I could not resist burning topic of Socialism in Venezuela or as I put Bolivarianism. Nonetheless, I was taken down swiftly by an Anarcho-capitalist who refuse to entertain my nonsense (One Love still). Now, we have the situation of the far-right and far-left taking a go at each other, personally I would stay out of that one as some flags have resulted.

Growing up in a country that was once Communist and was eventually liberated by the Americans, trust me when I say, I have heard it all. I found this gem of a video and I think it sums it up: War of Words. What this School of thought think is correct vs the other School of thought leverage with the 'School of Public Opinion'.

I don't really go by labels as it often brings division and I don't want to apart of that sort of scheme. But I do enjoy thoughts and ideology being discuss, I see it as quite healthy and we should never try to bury that part of history. It's my hope that we can use the blockchain as a medium of record that our children can use to retrieve information, because as I see it, the "Media" writes its own story and that probably is the greatest threat. If I control the media, alright lets not go there but I hope you get the point.

One Love everyone, Steem on

The biggest success in the history of humankind has unfortunately to be credited to the few. It relates to their ability to understand the real nature of human beings and their ability to use that to manipulate anyone they need to by carefully thought systems of imaginery stories, aka nations, religions, monetary system, ideologies etc. In other words their success in using various methods to** actually convince the vast majority of us about how different we are and what NEEDS to be done in order to FIX that**.

But for some funny reason the ones talking are usually not the ones putting their lives at risk for it. Its interesting the fact that words >subjective meaning> imaginery stories>cognition define so many physical actions and events.

A man gets killed about something he believed in. Based on Aristotele's Ethos, that man is ethical, he gave his life for something he believed in. But was that story real? Or even better, can there ever be an imaginery story that is an objective reality?
