Thank you leftists who came into this not autistic screeching at the man and actually interested in a constructive conversation. This kind of thing is winning me over more and more every day.
I used to be a Not Socialist for a while but recently got pretty class conscious and investigated Marxist theory and its branching elements and found a lot of desirable things. I was particularly attracted to Revolutionary Catalonia , the Paris Commune, etc and the freedoms they enjoyed with nary a sign of the myriad problems conservatives ensured me would arise in such situations. I've come to the conclusion that despite warnings to the contrary, Communist societies are not inherent destroyers of culture and in fact may be much greater protectors of it than any soulless modern capitalist society ever could be. America, arbiter of global capitalism, is currently a train wreck of a cultural wasteland as is plain to see.
I really only have two big hang ups left
Firstly, is this habit of incessant "I'm offended, you can't say that!" crap something I should expect in an authentic Communist society, or a product of the whiny bourgeois attitude we have here in the West? I'm not going to stop someone from being homosexual or believing in what they want or whatever, but am I going to get physically lynched for calling people retards and faggots even in jest?
And secondly the race/culture issue. Are you guys SURE that integrating wildly different people wont have some serious ramifications? Is there anything to stop people from just choosing to discriminate in favor of their own kind and eventually evolving to a position of localized power where they could then chose to harass or do worse to their racially/culturally different neighbors? I mean this is what humans have *apparently* been doing for a very long time, I just have to assume that tribalism is something they're going to resort to as a default. Would we assume the communes would just retain their local cultures and demographics and the incentive for mass migration would not really exist in a post capitalist world? If there's something more comprehensive like a book or video I that answers this, that would be fine too.
Thanks for (most of you) not being the dismissive assholes I'm used to dealing with among the tradfags
