I'd actually recommend Marx if you want to genuinely understand the ideology and why it appeals to people. I'm not saying I agree with him. I'm just saying a lot of what people label as communist is just some authoritarian assholery. If communism is really so terrible, we should be able to read what Marx said and clearly see the flaws in it, right?

maybe bitch about actual problems like opensats instead of someone quoting your note with nothing and losing you $0.07 in zaps nostr:note1556wr65zlgjuu9urhzerv2alh7my39v8tadq2pwklz7awqrspkus95s4ky

Since nobody on nostr seems to understand it, could you define communism? I literally haven't seen a single person who actually understands what communism is. Pretty sure the nostr definition is either "whatever I don't like" or "refusing to fellate the super wealthy".

Paying attention to the natural world leads to some interesting insights.

One of the main realizations I’ve had is that organisms lack compassion and empathy in the natural world.

People have empathy but if the spider was bigger than the human and you were caught in its web that thing would crawl over and inject the ensnared with a neurotoxin that would liquify its organs and then suck out the contents as they died a horrific and painful death. Absolutely no compassion or concern with the agony.

Birds eat other bird’s hatchlings alive. Otters rape baby seals to death. Predators kill the young and weak of their prey and tear them apart while they’re still alive. Male bears kill cubs to “mate” with the mother. The shit that happens in nature is extreme and horrifying. But is it what the universe intends?

I think a case can be made why compassion and empathy are heretical to the longstanding laws of the natural world. Are these emotions a weakness? A mistake? Or something positive emerging from higher order intelligence that many other creatures just can’t access?

I see lack of compassion and empathy in a lot of individuals who are otherwise considered quite successful in human societies. Makes me wonder if the universe tends to reward adherence to natural law…

"We the people ... " get a pass?

I have major beef with the word “they”. So many people will blather on about perceived problems and then add “they need to do this” or “they should do that”. Always referencing this omnipotent central authority that if “they” just made the right decree the problem would just go away. Never understand an arbitrary or corrupt decree is the root issues in the first place. Pisses me off to no end.

Banned books are books that have been removed from libraries, schools, or bookstores due to objections over their content. Most of the books shown above aren't banned now, but they have been at some point throughout history.

So apparently Trump, the piece of trash who financed the lockdowns that were possible because of his criminal 'emergency' order, is "warning' of lockdowns related to the Pox. Seriously fuck him. He authorized the legal framework that is still in place to allow for it again.

Elon Musk is not Hank Rearden, Hank Rearden did not depend on government contracts or public subsidies.

If there is any character in the real world worth comparing it is Nikola Tesla, the real-life John Galt.

Today, when I shared a post about the process of creating my sculpture "Pit-Bull-Riot," I never imagined that on Nostr, of all places, I would be called a fool just because I’m sculpting this unique breed of dog. Never before, neither on platform X nor even on the dumpster that is Facebook, have I encountered something like this. Perhaps it’s time for me to focus solely on posting abstractions?
