Studying the way the human brain develops is 1000% what we should focus on to gain insite on how we as a society thinks.

Cuba also doesn't have a culture of communes.

No, you didn't. But anyone who has so much as set foot in a high-school understands the human predilection to form cliques.
December 30, 2024 at 9:48 PM
No. It's just an in-group community. There are tons of examples of modern communes; they just aren't very flattering.

I agree.... life expectancy will drop significantly if we decide to step back from society and cloister ourselves in homogenous in groups.
December 30, 2024 at 9:22 PM
Does it give you pause that you weren't the one to turn it in that direction?
December 30, 2024 at 9:20 PM
...We're all human beings. THAT drive is way more sympatico with the grant notion of socialism than a bunch gang like communes that hold an array of beliefs as wide as the number of leaders of said communities. 2/2

Human beings have an in group of like a dozen. Our 'pack' if it is. That pack dynamic is great at some things but what it isn't great at doing is running a country. We have been able to artificially expand our packs through trickery: Hey... we're all Bills fans here. We're all Americans. 1/

The history of flags.

Oh? Interesting because that seems to be all you are advocating for here.
December 30, 2024 at 9:15 PM
Yes. And that is not the big-up of raw theory that you might imagine it to be.
December 30, 2024 at 9:12 PM
Oh.... here is an idea. The right wants to come for the social security net. Instead of getting into a screaming match online, maybe remind your friends that they too will one day have to take care of their elderly parents and how much it would suck for social security to not be there.

I never claimed to have a seven point plan. I'm merely stating that subterfuge works better than declaring the middle class a group of nazi blood drinking monsters, when it comes to securing change.

Dunno.... maybe it makes you look cooler on the socials tho.

They actually define both.

I'm perfectly happy to let whoever reads this tangle make up their own mind.
December 30, 2024 at 9:05 PM
No.... I have a clue. We will advance towards Socialism slowly with stops and starts and a good deal of tricking people into following their better angels.

The French revolution worked so well. We see what a communist paradise the Parisian state has become.
December 30, 2024 at 9:04 PM
Theories are theories. We weren't hashing out theories. We were establishing a baseline of what socialism is. I'm sorry that you find the actual definition of socialism lacking, take it up with webster.

Human psychology.

At the end of the day the difference between a cult and a commune becomes semantics.

Me upon Seeing two people sticking their tongues into electric sockets: WTF are you doing?

Them: We are bringing about the glorious revolution!

Me: I'm not sure how to usher in the revolution but that seems dangerous, dumb, and probably won't accomplish your goals.

Them: See you don't know!
December 30, 2024 at 8:59 PM
Reading this it is hard to not come away with the impression that you are castigating me for using the literal definition of the word socialism instead of YOUR highly packed meaning.
December 30, 2024 at 8:56 PM
That's a good question and one that we should focus on.
