  • "Socialism is the goal, communism is the way to reach it" is actually what a lot of MLs seem to secretly believe in the sense that they want to use the appeal of communism to motivate people to create socialism. I have seen very little interest from them in actually building communism.

  • In terms of valuing humanity, yes, fascists do not care about humanity or individual humans. They value their nation or identity as an abstract.

  • I regret to inform you that there are people walking around today, espousing the benefits of fascism, who have never lived under fascism and who have no plans to be a fascist leader.

  • Again, not claiming fascists are altruistic. Their ideology assumes people in general are not self-interested.

  • Sure but they also believe this is in line with human nature. And they trust their leadership to not be self-interested.

  • Not altruistic in terms of trying to benefit everyone; altruistic in terms of expecting people to unselfishly serve the nation. This is the ideology, not the reality obviously.

  • Well, I was deliberate to not say "if we got rid of the private holders of capital." Capital being successfully democratically controlled is key. I'm definitely with you on there being countless other bad options.

    I get that there are a lot of theoretical problems with flying cars, and current technology is sufficient for improving society if we just make different choices. I've seen Adam Something video, I just think we shouldn't stop dreaming about something that has inspired utopian visions for generations. It can be easy to grow sour on the entire idea of innovation after people like elongated muskrat use it to hype up their stock prices and fail to deliver. But innovation can be great, and better futures start by daydreaming.

  • No way, it keeps itself on the air with 0 energy expenditure, then moves with minimal resistance. Much more efficient than a land vehicle.
