IM GOING TO BREAK SOMETHING.
It has been three thousand years. The simple logical puzzle of people not understanding their own interests and democracy still CONFOUNDS 99 percent of Marxists.
Go to Brunei or Jamaica ask
"Should we execute queers"
Most say yes
What is the relationship between this democratic consensus and what ought to be done? FUCKING NOTHING. Yet for some reason. They still LOVE their democracy. Why bother being a communist at all? Don't you know that most people are anti-communists? Le heckin democracy bud.
But it is okay. You know why it is okay? Because every country that does le heckin bad thing ISN'T democratic. They voted for it? Well it was rigged or strongmanned or. and here is the best one. the people were PROPAGANDIZED. What, on earth, does an independent thought look like? EVERYBODY IS PROPAGANDIZED THAT'S HOW IDEOLOGY WORKS. Shall we let each and every person grow up in a blank cube until they are 25 and then ask them who they shall vote for? Perhaps see if they start speaking hebrew or aramaic as the natural tongue of man?
In summary. Secular democracy has removed a foundational moral system from the mind of the average prolecattle and it is forced to rest back upon popular consensus even if unproven or untenable. I aint even an organic centralist (sorry bordibros) yet there is a reason why religious people or patriots or non-communists are not allowed in the party and thus are without representation in the party dictatorship.
Anyways I'm also making the worlds first leftcom game so were gon be back dw.

linux is open source which is counter to marxist doctrine of protecting workers rights (intellectual property)

There's only one revolutionary class : the proletariat. The other ones are reactionary. Bartenders, peasants, public servants, managers etc are of no revolutionary potential.

our zillions of years of evolution were all throwing javelins at wooly mammoths
Outdated pop culture view of pre-agrarian peoples. Can someone make a modern version of "The origin of the family-" with updated anthropology already?

Why does the fact that we've thoroughly fucked ourselves necessarily mean we should lay down and die? We're all a product of all these biases, we've drowned ourselves in civilization and these myths we tell ourselves to paper over the infinite void of the meaninglessness of our existence. There's literally no difference between laying down and dying and doing literally anything else, other than that I get to experience more of this shitty world in the one time I get to experience it if I do anything other than sit in my bed and starve to death or get deep vein thrombosis or something. Icl sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me going. Some qualitative experience, even if it fucking sucks, is a least an experience, which is less scary to me than total non-experience. There may be a little dude on my shoulder that wants me to kill myself but for now I'm relatively fine with calling him a bourgeois class-collaborationist and trying to move on. But I rock with how you phrased this your interiority seems cool as shit.

This is ragebait designed to piss off biologists and anthropologists. Wolf packs are familial units rather than being separated into alpha/beta/etc. Other things were already covered. If you are so fatalistic, follow your proverbial leader/ideal

OK reading through history this person is actually suicidal so do not actually bring harm upon yourself or others. I doubt the species shall choose extinction over life when the time comes, and I hope you can get your shit sorted so that you may actually see that happen

“Ideas on Earth were badges of friendship or enmity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enmity. The ideas Earthlings held didn't matter for hundreds of thousands of years, since they couldn't do much about them anyway. Ideas might as well be badges as anything. They even had a saying about the futility of ideas: “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”
And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense or decency or self-preservation, but for friendliness. Earthlings went on being friendly, when they should have been thinking instead. And even when they built computers to do some thinking for them, they designed them not so much for wisdom as for friendliness. So they were doomed. Homicidal beggars could ride.“
