Ideology or Rationalization?

no good arguments for socialism

Don’t forget, if you have a question about one of the newsletters, ask me in a reply and I’ll do my best to answer in a video or audio post!

I could accept the repeated defeats of our movements if it were just the overwhelming power of the armies and priests of the State who defeated us, but every time they get their crucial aid from would-be leaders in our movements who proactively ignore the more difficult lessons of our struggles, for no better reason than that believing in actual freedom and having the courage to hear the answers to the questions they ask is too damn scary. But it’s only too damn scary if you don’t know where to look for help and courage. It’s like people get afraid of the immense responsibility implicit in taking on these huge structures, so they assume that either we need to leave the responsibility in the hands of a powerful state, existing or projected, or we need to take it all on our shoulders, instead of realizing that we’re all here facing the same problem. But that realization requires addressing the complexity that no one person can have a universally valid answer, the answer has to be a method of freedom that allows for constant and free interaction between conflicting needs and perspectives. And this reality would require us to entirely abandon the blueprint-based thinking of rationality and the State, an absence which provokes a profound anxiety in people educated in a statist system.
