Those societies work by slightly enlarging the concept of self. From one to a few dozens or few hundreds. These enlarged selves are still distinct from one another and way more prone to conflict with their kind.
Collectives are incapable of assembling into a coherent government.

If it wasn’t for capitalism we would have a smaller circle of caring. People don’t care about others unless their needs are met first.
Only in a capitalist society people have the privilege of wanting to be in a socialist society.

I’ve always found disturbing how on the left side of the political spectrum people condemn their religious people and have sympathy for other religions, even if they preach objectively abhorrent things according to modern moral standards (treatment of gay people, abortion, apostasy…)

I agree with that take.
A moral framework is a set of instructions, “software” if you will, that is followed for societal coherence.

There’s no religious belief that doesn’t influence behavior. The active/passive distinction can be brought up only by people who haven’t ever thought about these subjects.
