    UBI would be nice. Imagine working at a job you like because you like it, not because you need it to survive.

      First, I’d like to preface by stating that I am a firm proponent of UBI, but i am under no illusion that life under UBI would be utopic, or even not miserable. The most likely scenario would be as life under “basic” on Earth was described in The Expanse book series. Necessary, but no picnic.

              Reality is a social construct defined by the dominant ethnic group in society, and manipulated by the Epstein class to control our minds.

              If you look at successful communist cultures, like in Australia, the nature of the world isn’t considered quite as objective as it is in the cultural West.

              I propose that the belief in objectivity correlates with capitalism for a reason: It is easier to accept an imperfect world when we are taught to believe that it was created by immutable, objective truths. Once we accept that everything is subjective, we begin wanting to remake our culture in a more equitable way. Thus, communism.

              I also suspect that Russia and China failed to achieve communism, and instead created state capitalism, because the people didn’t question their capitalist worldviews. Cultural ways of knowing were seen as objective, which lead to stagnation.

                This is undiagnosed schizophrenia or you’re actually trolling. You are just telling yourself a story. Everything you said is completely wrong im stunlocked. You just made up things you think sound good.

                Reality is not a social construct defined by the Epstein class. Australia is not a successful communist culture. Communism is not more equitable. Russia and china’s entire ideological backbone is questioning capitalism.
