Even in conversation with other leftists I hear people talk about how so and so doesn't have good leadership skills or want someone to be a better leader. It's getting to me in a way I probably shouldn't allow it to, but I feel like that mentality is antithetical to the goal of communism and will only delay its arrival. How do we change that rhetoric?

I'm hoping this is the right comm for this sort of post, please direct me if a more suitable place exists.

Edit: I'm not specifically talking about politics. I'm also talking about leadership talk in the workplace.

If you truly want to destroy the belief in leaders, then start with the most-fundamental: eradicate parenting.

Once there are NO leaders in anybody's lives, THEN people will stop assuming that leaders somehow provide value.

That means parenting needs, for that agenda, to be destroyed.

( no, I'm not being sarcastic: for that agenda that is an actual requirement.

I've got no problem with different-moralities acting on the world, so long as they're being honest, & let Natural Selection pick between them.

Moneyarchists, concentration-of-wealth-archists, no-archy-archists, communist-party-fascism, individual-centered-fascism, monarchy, oligarchy, committee-archy, etc, all ought work-out to the final degree, what their morality actually means, & honestly commit to their exclusive-supremacism.

The world would be an aweful-lot clearer, if that were consistently done, & people could pick what they REALLY believed-in, instead of all the cultish "cultural massage" of "bringing people in" to this, or that ideology.

Then Natural Selection will do exactly what it's going to do anyways,

but this-way everybody'd be able to see what people mean even when an ideology usually pretends it means something else..

Honesty would make the world better. )
