A world without exploitation is secular, which is to say it applies to everybody. If you add caveats and exceptions to that, especially if you claim that your religion is in some sense aligned with that idea, then that’s on you, not the communist hypothesis.
If your religion finds the prospect of a world without exploitation agreeable, then any difficulty making that actionable per the mandate of that religion is on fault of the religion/religious.
I have 0 problems with religious communists, I have a problem with anticommunists.
DSA is the only proto-communist party formation in the United States. PSL, CPUSA, FRSO, etc. are all j marginal sects regardless of their many claims to farcical “independence”. DSA must now protect against those within it that just want to turn it into another PSL, another sect.
@taylorhumanbean@forces_at_work No one doubts the West is a highly opportunistic hegemon that will bolster elements of reaction to its advantage. It does not mean it *invents* them to keep trve commvnism from happening on the order of any oppositional reactionary states.
@taylorhumanbean@forces_at_work No one is supporting western intervention just because they aren’t willing to sanitize the actions of a state different than their own, or even one that is at a much greater risk of being dominated by it than vice versa.
The communists of these countries know this just fine.
@goopshawty21@noumenologist@TathagatEcon He isn’t, but I don’t think it’s any secret he has been more to that side of the divide than to continental philosophy for obvious areas of his work.
At the very least, he was included in my education as part of that trajectory.
@goopshawty21@noumenologist@TathagatEcon Hume and Leibniz, but Logic of Sense was also his reply to Frege and Russell.
He considered himself to be an empiricist as well!
@ItsLulu_7@jonnysocialism It’s not arbitrary, it has historically defined a great deal of material interest vested in political trajectory and position. The idea that there needs to be this great reconciliation that overcomes these things is so naive.
