A Complete Explanation Of Everything

This thread has so much that I disagree with, it would take a 10,000 word thesis just to address all the points.

Marx however just delivered an analysis of capitalism, he never delivered anything in the realm of an alternative and to decry experiments carried out in his name is to fundamentally misunderstand him... I've alot of time for Rousseau but he was pure bourgeois in the same way that Marx couldn't keep his dick in his pants... Maybe that's real socialism...

There was alot of purity in the attempts of Lenin and Engels to address those deficits in the fields of morality, culture, etc., that you perceive but as always...

I turn this argument on this head!

Are you telling me, what we live isn't an evil system?

Where is the great art of today? Where is the soul, where is the morality of this system?!?

In a time when productive capacity is unequalled, we still have needless suffering in quantum disproportion...

You tell me, this is an efficient system? You tell me it allocates scarce resources to their best effect?!? It has no morality this system and maybe it shouldn't, but at least I'm prepared to countenance that and challenge that...

We simply must ask what we want from an economy, from a society and then either agree or beg to differ and go off in collective humanism or rapacious individualism and have some final conflict a hundred years from now...

Either that or one further external event will force us into a reckoning beyond our meagre comprehension...

I'm getting another beer because all this futility, though I deeply love the romanticism of futility, tires me...

There is too much worth exploring in this existence to spend our time in so conceited a fashion and yet we hold to the vanities of the past with such a cast iron grip that we scare the very humanity within ourselves...

I wish it were not so... But conditions determine consciousness and it will take a generation to achieve something different...

Better or worse...
