This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

A marginalized group does not receive human rights, they are stripped of them. The removal of your birthrights should be violently opposed as soon as possible.

What do you mean by choosing. Thats sounds like a choice? something that can be debated in the head with words?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes, anything that can be debated internally with words or even with feelings.

The only human behavior I think that can be called natural is truly thoughtless or automatic action. Natural breathing is when you breathe without thinking about it, unnatural breathing is when you become conscious of your own breath and start thinking about it. And it really does feel unnatural! I'm sure you're manually breathing now too, and I'm sure you'd agree it's quite different from natural breathing.

It's you who did this to me but that "control" came from outside my head is not powerful enough for me to oppress others. my motivation to oppress others would come from food/money

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think motivation matters. You can oppress others thoughtlessly by complete accident.

what does that have to do with removing the rights of a certain type of people. What you said sounds like just one person oppressing one person

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A group of people can, in fact, thoughtlessly oppress a certain type of people through their thoughtless collective action.

I would say that in "full communism" that would not really exist. similar to my idea of primitive communism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree! But we can hardly call that natural. That's a carefully cultivated world and society that ensures fair and equal distribution to everyone according to their need - something that has never existed. Even under primitive communism the gens/tribe might be motivated to oppress outsiders because nature itself imposes scarcity or disease or disaster on them.

In order to ensure all rights for all people, we must also conquer nature. It just doesn't make sense to give credit to nature for our rights, when we have always had to fight against nature to have the right to live.

I'm basically saying "human nature" is really good and its 99% changed due to external reasons. That was this whole conversation :P

I agree! However, human nature can be changed due to natural external reasons as well. That complicates things.

Nature must be defeated >:)

OK but what is this motivation that changes that?
