Was mass human suffering and death his goal?
If not, how could he not see that he was pushing humanity towards that end?

It wasn't his goal but Deikun was a bit of a fruit loop, in case you didn't notice.
He was ready to declare war on the Earth Federation with what amounts to a VERY basic self-defense force, don't forget.

Contolism is an ideology of p e a c e
>>15603265
In what way?
>>15603265
He was a metaphysical socialist. Of course he was waiting for the relic of the sixth civilization.
>>15603509
Why is he assumed to be a socialist?
What part of his philosophy is socialistic?
>>15603306
The seperating of humanity into two distinct and conflicting groups seems to beg for war and destruction.

Zeon predicted the emergence of Newtypes, but he did not say they were superior. The Zabis did that.
>>15603895
He gave them the excuse though.
>>15603895
>Yes, yes, we're different and better suited for the future and we're more compassionate and humane than those earthnoids, but that doesn't make us better!
What?
>>15603903
You can use even the most peaceful and loving philosophy as a basis for war and discrimination.
You might as well ask "Was Jesus's goal mass human suffering and death?"
>>15603906
>we
>those earthnoids
There were no such things at the time.
Spacenoids are not inherently special snowflakes for happening to live in space.
>>15603909
That's all well and good but you're ignoring that Zeon's philosophy wasn't half as peaceful as he was alleged to be.
>>15603926
Sauce on that?
>>15603537
His assumption that newtype will be able to understand each other as easy telepathic links will leave no room for apathy is a very socialist concept of egalitarianism. Plus he was a pro- environmentalist who advocated moving mankind to space gulags so earth could heal. It couldn't get more leftist as this.
Zabis did the right thing and tuned his socialist ideas into nat-soc wet dream
>>15603929
>very socialist concept of egalitarianism
Isn't that just liberalism? The concepts are related but distinctive.
>he was a pro-environmentalist who advocated moving mankind to space gulags so earth could heal.
How is this leftist?
>>15603537
"Zeonism" as a whole is a much closer allegory to communism than nazism
Zeon Deikun = Marx/Lenin
Earth Federation = Capitalist west
Space colonies = means of production
Zabi Family = Stalin
Char = Trotskyists
