All these concepts are so stupid. The problem isn't that they dont work, the problem is that they are so easy to dissprove.

Leftists believe that human nature doesn't exist, and humans are blank slates entirely moulded by their environment. This allows them to justify any theoretical society.

Disproves your idea already because if everyone were equal everyone's abilities and needs would be the same.
>>
>>3207107
The political right denies human nature as well though.

The political left argues that people are essentially the same and that it's discrimination, different starting conditions, etc. which cause social disparity, so by their logic if we positively discriminate the underprivileged we'll achieve equality.

The political right argues that people are essentially the same and that it's some people working harder than others which causes social disparity and that the inequality we have is thus only just.

Both are wrong. The poor are for the most part poor because they lack the abilities that are in demand within a modern society. Frankly, most the poor are poor because they're not smart enough. The political left won't change the status quo through positive discrimination and the political right wants to essentially punish people for something they've been born with and blames them for something they cannot change.

>>
>>3207396
I agree with you but due to the heredity of intelligence (and the fact that the stupid tend to breed more) the only sustainable and rational option is the "right wing" one, since taxing the deserving to subsidize the undeserving will eventually lead to collapse due to too many undeserving leeching off fewer and fewer deserving. The "left wing" option is impossible unless you implement eugenics.
>>
>>3207475
I second this. We subsidize poor genes and it'll be the death of civilization. Going against evolution, it doesn't actually help the less viable members of society. It just stunts their development.
>>
>>3207475
The problem with that option is that it strains the cohesion of society. It's not like the 'stupid' are incapable of survival - they've been surviving for aeons perfectly fine. They just cannot make money within the very constraint economics of a modern society. They can however make money in more primordial societies by more primordial means, and that's what they are going to do. The result is chaos. It's much easier to subsidise them. And in fact: most European societies already do that.
>>
>>3207505
>Going against evolution
That's nonsense though. It would be utterly foolish to interpret natural "purpose" into the societies we're living in. Someone who cannot become a doctor or engineer might be perfectly capable of ploughing a field or holding a rifle - it's just that he doesn't get the opportunity to do so any more. After society breaks down at some point however, such skills might become more valuable again. Also, as I said in >>3207520, the fact that they cannot make a living the proper way does not mean they're going to kill themselves. They'll help themselves somehow and whatever they do is going to result in a less functional society.
>>
>>3207535

That also depended on the village fool's family's status.

However, the idea that Communism believed in equality is factually wrong. See what I wrote below in response to >>3206671. In fact, I'd argue that many Communist/Socialist systems were a lot more aware of differing talents than today's society's are. If you were good at something and your talent was recognised you'd be put through the necessary education to make sure your talent would prosper - however, with your talent also came the obligation to use it for the good of society as a whole.
>>
>>3207793
All of the above, it allows the true genius of the individual to flourish and benefit society as a whole. After all, progress is a consequence of great individuals shouldering the burden of exceptionality for the benefit of mankind, selfless by choice.

That's wrong though. Naturally, Humans have always lived in tribes and they worked towards a common goal within that tribe - most of all survival. There was of course internal competition to some extent but in the end, people were cooperative more than they were competitive. Competition was between other tribes - most of all after people start to settle down. The period of the first human settlements being the period of the first mass graves too.

Human history has rarely been competition between individuals, it has most of all been competition between groups - many of which were bonds of unconditional solidarity such as family.

Socialism destroys the genetic potential of a nation, in every real world application. Look at France, iq is plummeting. Here in the US high school graduation requirements are being relaxed even further to allow for stupider and stupider students to receive a diploma.

>>

And what's wrong with that? It's not fair that the Rothschilds and Saudis and British royalty get to enjoy extreme loyalty for birth, rather than effort. Bringing them down to our level allows for a more free and equitable society.

And under capitalism, these differences in ability cannot be fairly accounted-for. The wealthiest people are never the most talented, but instead the inheritors of capitol.

youre basically correct about that, Marxists especially tend to see their specific version of Marxism as being the correct perfect one and all others as wrong. this leads them to basically see themselves as merely the manifestation of inevitable historical processes, in turn leading them to thinking that all they do is 'necessary' for the process of history and therefore justified. Hence camps, mass starvation, secret police, etc,etc. Hannah Arendt goes into a lot more detail on this point.

Though some anarchists are of course dogmatic, implementing anarchism in the same dogmatic fashion as marxism is obviously an oxymoron. in my experience at least anarchists don't tend to view their specific version as 'the one true anarchism' and all other forms of anarchism as wrong (though some obviously are). essentially there's more ideological flexibility and less potential for falling into the hole of super dogmatic thinking leading to mass murder.

>>3207925
>We no longer live in a tribal society.
We are still tribal in mind though. If people lack the ability to secure their own existence within the state by normal means, they will create their own societal structures within the state, and that is not going to end well over time as the state itself will fall apart. And when that happens, power is with the many who will take what they believe they deserve.
