    I don't remember him (Jordan Peterson) ever saying that he is profound, actually the opposite in many occasions, saying things like: "is not my idea x2, is an old old old idea, is far older than Christianity, it's old, it's the oldest story of mankind: get yourself together, transcend your suffering, see if you can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less; well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell - if there's any way forward". This (video) seem, to me at least, like an attempt to criticize (and "debunk" let's say) a massive straw man built and carved from jealously by someone clearly pretentious, bitter and resentful.

    The biggest insult to the people who died in the Revolution of 1989 is the idea of anti-American propagandists that claim that the CIA is responsible for the revolution, as if the people who went out to fight the regime are all drones manipulated by foreign actors. Tell me exactly what can a foreign agency tell you so that you risk your life to overthrow your government? Tell me if you are living in a society like a prison, with no rights, barely any access to food, no heating in winter, etc, what can a foreign agency tell you NOT to go out in the street and fight the regime? Even if plans and actions existed by the CIA and KGB for a coup, any actions they might have taken are irrelevant since the Revolution would have happened anyway with or without any interference.

  • @Faus4us_Official
    @Faus4us_Official День тому

    Hakim, comrade. Hear me out. Zen-Sci Communism. A scientific method based approach to communism on an exoteric level with Zen as the esoteric representation of the universe. The idea of this all being one, everchanging organism is far easier to understand than a vast artificial construct or an accidental occurrence. Our delusions run deeper than I can fathom. The medical field, world history, financial systems, social welfare, environmental impact, etc. This isn't the best we can do. We are told to be thankful we aren't starving because others are. I only felt sadness that others were starving while we had abundance. To live in a society where a building has enough food to feed many, many people, but a man is starving on the sidewalk outside is a tragedy. There's no empathy, compassion, or wisdom in this system. The people choose or neglect to embody those ideas. It's willful ignorance and outright denial on so many levels as well. It is an anti-human, anti-reality, and anti-variation perspective that is largely a choice that can be altered at any time by the individual. Some people do not want to know. Some people do not want to listen. They are completely content within their respective sections of the terrarium that is Earth. They have not stepped far enough outside of themselves nor have they gone deep enough within. Communism as a philosophy, on an esoteric level even, was meant for a future society. It is a model for a unified Mankind, not simply nations of various humans. I think you understand that. I see the similarities in terms of possible application when it comes to the story of Atlantis. That model is an authoritarian one though. Ten rulers of ten nations who are unified in a common goal. Any action against other nations is met with resistance from the other nine. Their demise was ultimately due to their superiority complex, violent dominion of others, and a naive complacency in their high position. Atlantis is a model. Communism is the mirror image of that model esoterically and exoterically. There is no hierarchy save for the needs of the people. I'm curious about the potential applications of Zen in a communist model. Aren't the Chinese already doing this with Buddhism? The USA is missing out on so many opportunities due to our dastardly playbook, carry a big stick and pummel any resistance to our growth. It is an imperialist playbook. It has only been fueled by the adoption of capitalism, which is essentially just a modified form of feudalism. One of the biggest missed opportunities for collaboration, in my opinion, was the Space Race. Are you familiar with Yanis Varoufakis? He has some interesting points of contention with the long-term goals of capitalism as well as the past and current transgressions it wreaks upon Mankind. He uses a term called technofeudalism. I always think of corporations tracking every data point of our lives i.e. where we go, what we do, what we like/dislike, who we like/dislike, etc. These algorithms could serve other purposes and benefit Mankind greatly. We use them to profit off of other's need for personal satisfaction at any cost. This system is a hydra. It is truly going to be a Herculian effort if it comes to the worst. I fear we may live up to that name, Herakles, quite literally. We will be soaked in our 'sleeping comrades' blood because we can't see Mankind through the humans. Aren't we already up to our necks in the blood of our fellow Man? Mankind are our people. Humans are our comrades. We are comrades on a pale blue dot in the Void. Surely, I am not the only one who sees this way? I have definitely left you a lot of gaps and purposely didn't explain the details or nuances of such a model, Zen-Sci Communism. I wanted to keep it 'relatively simple' because too many details leads to inevitable entanglements that are later taken as Truth. I am trying my best to avoid becoming dogmatic. That is a critical issue the current capitalist model hasn't identified in their logic. It is dogmatic Truth based on the assumption that what they were taught was true. I'm not saying it is all lies either. It is a very grey area that has been painted black and white. Perhaps someone else has already thought of this Zen-Sci Communist model lol. If you wish, you can wrestle with it, get to know it, and see what you come up with. I want us to be a team and comrades. That won't happen if we are all tyrants pummeling each other into submission. I'm always open to learn. Why not give this 'ZSC' a go psychologically? Edit: The Chinese are using a sort of Confucianism! I just had to look into it. My curiosity was too great lol Also! OSHO wrote a book titled Communism and Zen. I just discovered it today!

    The conversation about Scandavia always comes back to its ethnic makeup because of First Principles. Norway is 85% Norwegian. Which means that 85% of the population was raised with the same First Principles because they come from the same culture. Thats a stark difference from the US where no cultural group holds a majority. Its significantly easier for Norwegians to do whats best for Norwegians in Norway because they are the super majority. The white population in the US isnt homogeneous. White Californians will have more in common with Hispanic or Asian Californians then they will with South Carolinian whites. The lack of a cultural hegemony means that the US has to form block of cultural groups that Norway never will.

    Marx's conceptualization of capitalism is a stipulative definition it is a logical fallacy because of its arbitrary nature, which undermines the argument. Additionally, the questionable nature of this definition becomes evident when considering scenarios where an individual could transition from being a member of the proletariat to a bourgeois capitalist through the investment of saved wages in other ideas or ventures.

    ya, so the factories and worker weren't inneficient, the workers werent idle playing cards or other stuff, what did happen that hampered the viability of the system was that everybody was stealing the production, everybody, from the top manager to the lowest worker, which created a cleptocratic culture, that disipated over time as the transitioned happened to the the mases , but in every post soviet country, the elites still remained chronicly excesevly cleptocratic, which is why, after the fall of comunism, you havent seen any post soviet staate reach the level of france, with the industrial base that the warsaw countries had in 1990, and the educated and highly skilled workforce that it had, if it weren't for the extremply kleptocratic, corrupt and nepotism fueled management class and secret police that basicly sold everything for scraps, a bil dollar industry for a mil dollar bribe to eliminate western competition, if it weren't for that, poland, ukraine romania, would have an economy and standard of living now on par with germany and france

    Damn, right off the bat with a BIG load of bullshit. Sold off to the highest bidder? I wish, our second tier corrupt communist democrats sold off for pennies what we bought for millions and later had to rebuild. Capitalists, generally love a stable or increasing profit, not to purposefully devalue an asset they bought. Legitimate governments? What the hell are you even smoking? Nobody wanted a communist state in '47 they were imposed by Russia and their supporters via a fraudulent election. Collectivization was very unpopular, elections during communism was a bad joke and much much more. Also, the coup was rather supported by reformist Gorbachev, not the CIA seeing as all of the new powerful politicians were all second tier communists, Iliescu being educated in Moscow.

They were sent in bags to Bucharest in order to try to hide what really happened in the streets from the public opinion. This is just an example, the video is filled with misleading information, and the gross overestimation of foreign intervention. It was a coup, but organized an coordinated by romanian elite themselves, in the context of declining USSR power and influence
