Fair enough.
So why do we go along with it anyway, even if we know better?
Pretty sure that's true in both of our cases to a large degree.. but what do you do about the fact that you're ideologically 'possessed'?
How do you personally 'fight' it?
Surely as long as you TRY to use your critical faculties to critically evaluate the 'reality' you see before you, you're doing the best you can in an imperfect world/situation?
The Maoists are pretty hot on the whole self-criticism thung. Are you more aligned with Hoxhaists or neither..?
Meh, I'm not dogmatic you know. I've got nothing against communists. If you check my profile you'll see my ideology is everything-ism; ie I think all ideologies should be given their right to a fair trial and can maybe coexist. Even neoliberal capitalism... as long as it doesn't expand into our spheres.
In that sense, my 'screeching' is only directed against those who would enforce their tyrannical (my subjective biased idea of it anyway) will on me, and others.
I was variously a marxist leninist, an anarcho-com and a left-com back around '09/2010 so your beliefs are not 'alien' to me.
Potemkin wrote:The question is, why doesn't he see it? And why don't you see it in yourself? And why don't I see it in myself? This is what interests me, not screeching defiance and scorn at people possessed by memes which differ from the memes which possess me.

What is debate except a form of exorcism?
