RE: That is not philosophy! On the battle about what is real
Are there actually still communist philosophers? as in, an honest-to-goodness philosopher who believes in communism? I thought they'd all have grown up by now.
There is Slavoj Zizek who claims to be communist, yet he talks about fture with capitalism. What I think he actually thinks is not socialism or communism, but rather what those things were supposed to bring or be.
It's correct to reply to this question by asking 'what is communism' as there is not one answer to that question, and its definition change over time. But yes, there are many honest-to-goodness philosophers who honestly take up the attitude developed within communism to see how to understand the world from that perspective. Which I think is great, as what I wrote in the article as well, if we already think we know what is right or connect when we start out thinking about something, we are no philosopher.
I already know what is right, embracing the process. But I can't say a concrete way of embracing it, as it cannot be reduced to an object. Thinking that we can't know what is right just reduces everything to be possible evil or good, making you able to defend each and everyone of your acts as possible good.
Then we need to start with definitions, as philosophy usually does.
But no, there isn't a need to "see how" to understand the world from the communist perspective. It is objectively disordered, has been proven to be so, and should not be entertained by anyone who has a love for wisdom.
The devil loves those who advocate for him, even if they are just trying to be diplomatic.
