The philosophy commune

+ + + + + + + + + +
+

+ Warning: This part of the website is mostly my inner nonsense released into the world and + it likely doesn't make any sense. I plan on completely remaking it sometime. +

+

Yes, I am a evil commie.

+

+ In this very "well" designed web page I will layout the basics of what socialism and communism really is + (not the stuff that the bourgeoisie have lead everyone to believe) and what it means to be a commie. +

+ While I don't know as much on this topic as a lot of other commies I can at least give you a start. + I will focus more on the philosophy behind it all before even touching everything else. +

+

The start

+

+ This place is called the philosophy commune because Its more focused on the philosophy and + how it interacts with communism then it is with the politics. Its a common misunderstanding + that marxism is some crazy cult like political ideology (some marxist groups are tbh) though + if you read any real writing of Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels you will find mostly philosophy + and it being applied in more abstract ways instead of the lies we have been given. To understand + topics like economics and politics its important to first understand philosophy as the base for + everything else. Start out at any wikipedia page and continue clicking the first link + and you will either reach the philosophy wiki page or get stuck in a endless loop. +

+ + Every complete ideology has a base made up of more abstract philosophy. For example classical and neo + liberalism has many layers like right of the individual and private property rights and the way + liberalism treats it is more or less connected to christian ideas like the idea that some people + are closer to god then others so under liberalism right of the individual is more then just freedom + but the idea that some people are narcissisticly above others and that government limiting there + power over other people is going against nature or "gods will" in a sense. Because of this + liberalism allows for people to do nothing but limit rights and freedom, call it rights and + freedom, then get away from it. "Oh no, a new law proteching users from having google + forcefully installing a microship in peoples heads is going to hurt googles holy rights + and god given status over the people. This is anti-american to give people that choice + to not have google install microchips in there head". As you can see there are many layers to + liberalism like the often misunderstood morals and bits of christian ideas and much more + I will not get into now and BTW when I target liberalism I am also targetting conservatism + because conservatism is still a form of liberalism. +

+ + Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels created a philosophy called dialectical materialism and + used it for historical materialism which is how they understood history and they used + this to understand how society changes in mainly western countries (Russia wasn't really + included in this so they had to work off of dialectical materialism and build up there + own home cooked appied ideas for there revolution). With there philosophy marx and + engels analyzed there current capitalist society and understanding of how + the bourgeoisie (capital owning class) and proletariat (working class) interact + with each other and found the exploitation between the two and how it upholds + capitalism. Marx and Engels believe that like how the bourgeoisie lead a + revolution to gain freedom from the kings and lords of the past the + proletariat leading there own revolution for freedom from the bourgeoisie + is needed for society to progress. The philosophy behind liberalism should + make more sense now knowing that liberalism is the ideology of the + bourgeoisie class. +

+
+ + + + + +
+

The abstract

+

+ Before getting into dialectical materialism and that stuff I will go into my own ideas + which are even more abstract but a good place to build on to understand the dialectics. + Just bare with me while I throw your brain into a microwave and forgot about it for a + while without even knowing its burning (like the way microwave popcorn got banned at + school). +

+

Verbs and nouns

+

+ In english we rely on nouns a lot to talk about things. Everytime we use a noun + we are refecancing a thing or idea so we can talk about it. We can talk about + how the thing looks like x-mas barf, smells like a dogs ass (I don't want to know + how you know what a dogs ass smells like), feels like the random + thing you found outside you wish you didn't touch...
+ but what if I told you there are other ways to talk about things!
+ _target +
+ A language where everything is called out by the action of it existing could exist. + While the grammer of english is yelling a big "fuck you!" (like with everything I write) + something like instead of "its a cat" "it be a cat" could exist and be normalized in the grammer + and have the words planned out for it to make sense in its context. Also languages can have no verbs + sense nouns also cover ideas so instead of the action of running it would be the idea of running. + Take a look at + how lojban handles this shit for some mind opening ideas. +

+

Overthinking shit

+

+ I shall start us with a simple math problem: x^2=1 solve for x. It has two correct answers: + x=1 and x=-1. If something like this pops up in a math problem you can only use 1 or -1 + for the problem and it will effect the final requests of the problem though entail you + solve it the problem is in a state of having two possible outcomes. Its just like Schrödinger's cat + where you have a box with the dead/alive cat in it you can walk around town with your + funky little dead/alive cat, go on a romantic date with your dead/alive cat, throw it into + oncoming traffic to know for sure its fucking dead /hj... but entail you open the box its + in a state of both but once its open you have a dead cat or a alive cat like how x^2=1 + is both 1 and -1 entail used. +

+ Another idea to think about is numbers like pi. If you + have a forumal for pi you bascially have every single digit of pi in a set of instructions + but you can't use them. You have to apply the forumal first but it will go on forever + if you do that so x+generate_pi() wouldn't work. Instead you would only use so many + digits of pi like this x+generate_pi(16) for 16 digits. We could in place of every + magic number use a generator to be able to fine tune how everything is generated and + applied. To keep everything constantant we could use generators for every number and + treat operators as functions and use things like lazy evaluation, + strict evaluation... to direction the flow of are logic for whatever we are doing. + You can read about this kind of stuff in + + Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. +

+ To continue with my madness + we could compare this to the verb and noun thing and say that functions are like verbs + and numbers are like nouns. yet we refecance the function as a noun and its made up of + instructions which are things but those things are verbs because they define the actions + of doing things then we can grab that logic of it being a refrecance to the thing then + go through the same steps on the instructions... what doth life?! +

+ Back to x^2=1 there are things I call logic gabs. Are society pushes a very linear and isolated + "if this and that then that and this" kind of logic. Peoples minds get fried when shown things + like x^2=1 kind of like a computer going mad when asked "what doth life?!". While more standard + thinking is more newton cradle like with "this causes that" we live in a world that is closer + to a bunch of marbles of different sizes thrown into a box then shaked around and thrown everywhere. + Talking about what causes what is too much for are tiny stupido minds to understand with all those + marbles getting thrown around so instead we can think about the relationship between the marbles + and how they interact with each other. We could look at the way the big and small marbles react + when they hit each other and how it effects the movement of the marbles in the box. There is no + supreme lord marble or any of that shit. Just a bunch of marbles getting fucked up when I + decide to throw the box into oncoming traffic. +

The dialectics

+

+ I am not going to go much into dialectics because + A: The abstract shit I went into has the infomation you need to know to understand dialectics. + B: You can watch a fucking youtube video you fucker. To sum things up with dialectics we + describe the relationship between different things to understand them. +

+ To understand Marx's dialectics we need to understand idealism vs materialism. Karl Marx + read lots of Hegel (the old dude no one understands) and Hegel was very idealist and his + idealism is all about the mind and spirit and how they shape reality. Idealists believe + that everything around us is shaped by are own mind. "If a tree falls and no one is + around to hear it does it make a sound?" is a common question used to bring forward + idealist ideas because it shows that senory feelings exist in the mind and not in + the world around us and that every single thing we see and feel is in are mind and + not the world around us. Materialism is about the world around us and believes + that matter is the base of reality. Vulgar materialism as blunty as possible + states that everything is just matter and a common example of vulgar materialism + is kicking a stone to prove its existance. Karl Marx is a materialist but not + a vulgar materialist. For understanding things vulgar materialism really + isn't that helpful. +

+ Karl Marx's dialectical materialism is often thought of a materialist version + of Hegel's dialectics though I like to think of it as more of a dialectic + between idealism and materialism being applied on other things as a way to understand the + world. Karl Marx applied his dialectical materialism to history to create historical materialism. + Its a view of history where instead of being centered around the actions of one great + leader or key events like some big ass battle its more about different ideas floating around, + ideas things and people interacting with each other, changes in conditions in the world... + Karl Marx believes that people are shaped by there envirtment and not just destined to be + something. A rich man is rich because he was born into a rich family, was in the right place + at the right time... and not because he "had that rich chad alpha mindset and pulled himself + up by the bootstraps". Karl Marx isn't discrediting anyones work put + into something but more of saying that the conditions someone is in is important to how + they grow as a person and how there effort interacts with the world. +

+ A good example is trumps "small loan" of a million dollars. He brags about building up his company + from a loan of a million dollars to make it sound like he was a average guy who + built up a empire from hardwork and mindset alone when really being able to + grow up seeing how his dad handles real estate and getting to met other people + in that business and having his family name as a symbol is priceless and really + impacts the future of someone. Somone growing up in a average household isn't + going to get to learn all the insider secrets of real estate at a young age + in a time without internet then grow up to be given a loan of money bigger then + any amount any normal person will ever touch to apply there knowledge to conitnue + spreading the family empire. +

+ A did a TERRIBLE job with Marx's dialectics so please read Marx's shit instead of taking + my word on anything. I am a tired lazy fuck that isn't to be trusted about anything. +

+

The applied

+

+ Just like how I talked about that a function that generates pi exists in a abstract form + and has all the digits of pi entail applied I think of marxism the same way. There is + the more abstract parts of marxism like dialectical materialism and historical materialsm + then there is the applied marxism like the science of revolution and all the stuff + about the bourgeoisie exploiting the proletariat. +

+ When people say that marxism is + a science they don't mean the science you learned in school but instead they mean + wissenschaft which is more about learning, studying, and understanding the world instead + of just the search for truth like how we know it today. Wissenschaft is more broad + and includes things like art and religion as long as its the search for knowledge. + Also in marxism the term socialism is used more broadly. Because of decades of the + red scare its meaning have been completely fucked up. Karl marx often used socialism + to describe the idea of things along the line of any form of social ownership of + the means of production, modern society planned around a need or idea... He + would describe people we would now know as conservatism as something like + "petty-bourgeois socialism" meaning socialism made for the petty-bourgeois + (small business owners). +

+ Communism means stateless, classless, moneyless society + and to be a communist doesn't mean you are setting that as your up front idea + of what needs to be done now but instead supporting a form of socialism that + brings us closer to that. As a communist I believe in the bourgeoisie class + coming to an end and the means of production being controlled by the proletariat. + The government we know is nearly just part of bourgeoisie society. The government + is ran by and actively supports the bourgeoisie. It sets laws that gives + companies copy rights that make sure even just there ideas can't be touched + by the proletariat or petty-bourgeoisie that are a risk to the big companies. + One isse with liberalism is it sees big companies and government as isolated entities. + With that mindset they will often support government thinking its keeping them safe + from the bourgeoisie or support the bourgeoisie keeping them safe from the government. +

+ I completely fucked this up so PLEASE read good shit like + + Socialism: Utopian and Scientific + . +
