Interesting thought that.... I guess we all really are trying to get to the same end goal... a better life experience for as many people as practically possible. Just have our own, more and less fair ways of getting there
The original version of communist principles - which people on Steem have pointed me to is hundreds of years old and had a strong support in Britain long before there were any fucked up communist states. It really is one of those terms that has been totally corrupted and twisted away from what it originally meant. It's a big topic though and I don't claim to be any expert in it.
I do know that Marx was trying to create a scientific replacement for capitalism that was fairer, but clearly what was produced was nothing like that. There is strong evidence that Trotsky was funded by Max Warberg and others on Wall St. - to fulfill a global strategy related to what turned into WW2.
In any case, I have given up using terms like capitalism and communism because I have found they are too loaded, divisive and always lead to nothing productive. Pointing the conversation towards 'living our passion' and 'unconditionally respecting free will' is infinitely more helpful in solving our planet's challenges. Free will leads the way in each individual finding their own solutions..
The main challenge in that for me right now is that so much of our current paradigm is underpinned by violence - including property rights and 'wealth'. If we suggest that these need to be radically shaped up we get labelled as communists by people who aren't listening and if we ignore the problem we get labelled as capitalists who aren't listening. lol
This is all part of why I want to go and live in a jungle... Provided Nestle (Nest Slay) has left any standing. :/
yes Ura, ever the wise one. I am convinced that blockchain will go a long way to organically improving society, without revolution, shots fired or need to choose one side or another. you will just follow your passion.
