That’s a really good point, actually
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure all those ancient societies didn’t have universal human rights and civil liberties. The concept of rights doesn’t really begin until the 1600s afaik and universal rights until the 1800s at the earliest. There are non liberal societies right now, they’re all dictatorships with no freedoms, hence my statement
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Yeah I agree
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Do you mean dictatorship? Most ppl use it in the way I mean, as the vast majority are not Marxists.
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Well there are non Marxist socialist/communist models and systems but I take your point. I was just answering you because you responded to why I’m not a communist, that’s all
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Well an interesting question would be, could the government just seize his restaurant in the name of the good of society? If not, then it’s private property as we understand it, no? Whether it makes money or not
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Because I’m not a Marxist? Um ok lol
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
I mean ppl own businesses, land and houses. Is that not private property?
I can’t think of any societies that emphasize individual rights that aren’t liberal
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Yeah the Federation has private property and individual rights, so we wouldn’t that be liberal?
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Interesting, he was an actual communist. Had no idea
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Will do
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
I’m not a Marxist so don’t agree
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Why not?
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
I thought it meant no laws and no government
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Communist states had/have large militaries so I guess that’s not a problem
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
I would say the Federation is basically a liberal utopia so it’s against being liberal
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
But the Federation is a government, so can’t be anarchist
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Oh, never heard that before
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m not a communist primarily because I’m against dictatorship and human rights abuse but socialism sounds more interesting
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
Was Roddenberry a Marxist?
- Comment on Is the Federation "Communist" or Socialist? 1 month ago:
What’s that?
