To the original point. I think it makes sense to even question the most basic truths, but you should always keep in mind that there is most likely a good reason it is a basic truth and that there are often whole Systems build around them.
Reality ( for all intents and purposes).
the crowd has a lot to learn about being useful idiots. Lenin and Trotsky knew they had to educate the masses in order to create an intellectual revolution, not only an armed revolution. They imported books and wrote newspapers and tried to educate people for their cause.
Enter postmodernism in the 50/60's, and this discussion. It is about twisting reality.
It is political, not math. (the insanity called communism then then look sane)
Question everything when your foundations are first based in 'reality'.
The reality is that 2+2 = 4.
The rest are intellectual exercises. (to be encouraged, once you know what's real)
You only have to see the brain dead zombies of BL and antifa to see the end results of post modernistic thinking being the foundational educational points.
(common core, etc.)
I don't support BLM or antifa but if she wants a revolution saying she wants 2+2 to not equal 4 anymore is actually a good metaphor. Changing our notation system to a binary or duodecimal one would also be a revolution.
I am indifferent towards the protests.
I am somewhat of an Anarcho-Leftie so I wouldn't mind seeing a violent uprising to create an Anarcho-Communist Utopia (in the USA of all places, lol ). On the other hand I am somewhat of a Libertarian so I would gun them down if they touch my property or threaten me or my loved ones.
Anarcho leftie = an ideological paradox.
leftism = requires a bureaucracy to function.
Bureaucracy always leads to authoritarianism.
'The iron law of bureaucracies' dictates an ongoing centralization process...
Anarchist principles refute an 'authority' ( a centralized, non accountable, one)
Anarcho leftism is trying to put an ideological square peg, into a round hole.
