I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down
Safe space for teens cos playing as communists, where they can be nasty to outsiders.
I like the politics, but it’s filled with truly obnoxious children try to out-communist each other
the philosopher Bertrand Russell warned of the dangers of communisms tendency to become a religious cult and he was right.
Bertrand Russell’s Political understanding was poor to say the least. He was in no way an expert and seemed to have only skimmed summaries and a handful of short texts when it came to Marx, sounding more like Jordan Peterson fixating on terms. For example, I think at one point he spent several paragraphs fixated on “nothing to lose but our chains” without understanding the basic thesis. His criticisms were, therefore, basically a series of errors and misunderstandings rather than insight. And beneath it all, a distressingly consistent current of chauvinism and racism, even with his anti-war stance.
Russell is good for math, logic, and some analytic philosophy, though.
