I agree with what Vaush said here “When (Karl) Marx and following theorists wrote on capitalism they weren't writing 'capitalism and liberalism are worst things to ever happen to humanity, they are the greatest oppression of workers'. No. Marxism is supposed to be an extension of liberalism not a rejection of it, a true promotion of unity, fraternity, and freedom, and liberty, etc. That's what Marxism and that's what leftism is about, it's about bringing the messaging of the liberal movement forward, to make it better, to make it get stronger, to make it true to its principles.” liberal socialism left socdem

Equality should go beyond the formal equality of rights so as there is no tension between the two and no separation and conflict between individuals as passive recipients within society.

Rights should always have been framed around the POSITIVE (i.e sex positive) than the negative . I support such Positive rights (including me conditionally supporting Sex positivity as can be seen throughout this blog primarily in the gender lgbtq section])
Negative rights promote hierarchy and are about what people cannot do while allowing through that hierarchy power the permission to do things via rights leftwing thought possibly sex posivity
Positive rights on the other hand, are hierarchieless and are about what people CAN do. They don’t make distinctions between what is prevalent and what is outside the norm. They thus blur the line or even remove the line between what is and isn’t socially normal/acceptable creating a streamlined, natural and smooth element to the concept of rights. leftwing thought possibly sex posivity

morality post left i.e post left anarchism I go beyond and also critique morality . morality post left i.e post left anarchism
left anarchism subreddit sidebar I either (1) do a moral nihilist critique of morality/reified values/moralism. Or (2) I take a subjective ethics of ambiguity viewpoint. Or (3) I talk of morality from an entirely different foundation. left anarchism subreddit sidebar
Morality is a system of reified, abstract values, values which are taken out of any context, set in stone, and then converted into unquestionable beliefs to be applied regardless of a someone’s true desires, thoughts or goals, regardless of the situation in which a person finds themself in.
Moralism is the practice of reducing living values to reified morals, and also of considering oneself better than others because that person has subjected himself or herself to morality (self-righteousness), and of proselytizing for the adoption of morality as a social change tool.
When a person’s eyes are opened by scandals or disillusionment and they begin to dig down below the ideological surface and they received ideas that they have taken for granted their whole lives, the apparent coherence and power of this new answer that they find (whether in religion, leftism or even anarchism) can lead them to believe that they have now found the Truth (Truth with a capital ‘T’).
Once this starts to occur people too often turn onto the path of moralism, with its attendant problems of elitism and ideology.
Once people give in to the illusion that they have found the one Truth that could fix everything — if only enough other people also understood this Truth, the temptation for them is then to view this one Truth as the solution to the implied Problem surrounding everything that must be theorized
This leads them to build an absolute value system in defense of their magic Solution to the Problem that this Truth leads them to. At this point moralism takes over the place of critical thinking.
The main issue with Moralism is that people are exploited or dominated by capitalists (or alienated from society or from the productive process. etc.).
The Truth is that the People must take control of the Economy and/or Society into their own control.
The biggest hurdle to this is the Ownership and Control of the Means of Production by the Capitalist Class which is backed up by its monopoly over the use of legal violence through its control of the political State.
To overcome this people must be approached with an evangelical fervor to influence them to reject all forms, ideas and values of Capitalism and to adopt the culture, ideas and values of an idealized notion of the Working Class in order to take over the Means of Production by abolishing the Capitalist Class power and constituting the Working class power (or its institutions that are represented, or even their Central Committees or its Supreme Leader) over all of Society
This tends to lead to some type of Workerism (usually including adopting the dominant image of the working class culture i.e the working-class lifestyles), a belief in (more often than not Scientific) Organizational Salvation, belief in the Science of (the victory of the Proletariat in) Class Struggle, etc.
Also tactics that are consistent with building the fetishized One True Organization of the Working Class to contest for Economic and Political Power.
A whole wage value system that is built around a particular, very oversimplified conception of the world, and moral categories of good and evil are substituted for critical evaluation in individual and communal subjectivity terms
The spiral into moralism is never an automatic process. It is a tendency which naturally shows itself whenever people start down the path of reified social critique.
Morality always involves stalling the development of a consistent critical theory of self and society.
It short-circuits the developing strategy and tactics that are appropriate for this critical theory, and it encourages an emphasis on personal and collective salvation through living up to the ideals of this said morality, by idealizing a lifestyle or culture as virtuous and sublime.
In the process this demonizes everything else as being either evil perversions or evil temptation
One natural emphasis of this then becomes the petty, continuing attempt to enforce the boundaries of virtue and evil by policing the lives of any person who claims to be a member of the in-group sect, while self righteously denouncing out-groups.
Like, in the workerist milieu, this means attacking any person who doesn’t sing the praises of the virtues of the working class (or one true form) organization or to the virtues of the overbearing image of the Working Class culture or lifestyles (like beer drinking as opposed to drinking wine, rejecting hip subcultures, or driving a Nissan instead of a BMW).
The goal, is to maintain the lines of inclusion and exclusion that are between the in-group and the out-group (the out-group is variously portrayed in highly industrialized countries to be the Middle and Upper Classes [Petty Bourgeois and Bourgeois], or the Managers and Capitalists big and small).
Living up to the standards of morality means sacrificing specific desires and temptations (regardless of the your situation that you may find yourself in) in favor of virtue rewards
Don’t ever eat meat. Don’t be against (insert Democrat/Liberal 2.0 pet cause here), Don’t ever drive SUVs. Don’t ever work a 9–5 job. Don’t ever scab. Don’t ever vote. Don’t ever talk to a Right winger. Don’t ever take money from the government. Don’t ever pay your taxes. Don’t ever etc., etc.
Not a very appealing way to go about living your life for any person that is interested in critically thinking about the world and evaluating what to do for oneself.
Going beyond and critiquing Morality involves constructing a critical theory of a person’s self and society (always self-critical, provisional and never totalistic) in which a defined goal of ending a person’s social alienation is never mixed up with reified partial goals.
It involves emphasizing what we have to gain from radical critique and solidarity rather than what we must sacrifice or give up in order to live virtuous lives of politically correct morality. morality post left i.e post left anarchism

Insurrectionary anarchism is a good way to gain self empowerment where one can feel joyful of themselves and go beyond morality . It is truly revolutionary, relies on informal organization and small affinity group type of organizations. This creates targeted methods, permanent class conflict and a refusal to negotiate or compromise with class enemies all to create a better world alexander reid ross leftovers post left horseshoe
Two types tangiblely better worlds we can create using such truly revolutionary and self powering methods ,are a Bioregional /Libertarian Municipal society or the type of pro environmental society I outline here alexander reid ross leftovers post left horseshoe
Revolution and insurrection are not synonymous. The former is radical change of conditions, of prevailing status or condition , the state or society, and is thus a political or social act.
The latter has a transformation of conditions which is an inevitable result, but doesn’t start from that, but it starts the discontent of human beings with themselves; it’s not an armed uprising, but of a rising up of people, without the regard for the arrangements that spring from it.
The revolution is aimed at new arrangements, while the insurrection leads us to no longer let ourselves be arranged. It instead seeks to arrange ourselves, and set no radiant hopes on any institutions. Permanent revolutions are good because they change things in a manner where revoltions don’t take people by surprise since they are ongoing. egoism max stirner
It is not a fight versus the establishment, since, if this prospers, the establishment would collapse of itself.
It is only a working of a person’s way out of the establishment. If they leave the establishment, it is dead and falls into decay. Since now their aim would not be the overthrow of the established order but their rising up above it, their intention and action would not be a political or social intention and action, but, since they are directed really toward themselves and their ownness, an egoistic intention and action egoism max stirner
The revolution demands that a person makes arrangements; the insurrection demands that a person stand or raise themselves up egoism max stirner
Jesus was not a revolutionary, but he was instead an insurrectionist, a rebel. To quote Max Stirner,
“The time [in which Jesus lived] was politically so agitated that, as is said in the gospels, people thought they could not accuse the founder of Christianity more successfully than if they arraigned him for 'political intrigue', and yet the same gospels report that he was precisely the one who took the least part in these political doings. But why was he not a revolutionary, not a demagogue, as the Jews would gladly have seen him? [...] Because he expected no salvation from a change of conditions, and this whole business was indifferent to him. He was not a revolutionary, like Caesar, but an insurgent: not a state-overturner, but one who straightened himself up. [...] [Jesus] was not carrying on any liberal or political fight against the established authorities, but wanted to walk his own way, untroubled about, and undisturbed by, these authorities. [...] But, even though not a ringleader of popular mutiny, not a demagogue or revolutionary, he (and every one of the ancient Christians) was so much the more an insurgent who lifted himself above everything that seemed so sublime to the government and its opponents, and absolved himself from everything that they remained bound to [...]; precisely because he put from him the upsetting of the established, he was its deadly enemy and real annihilator[.]" egoism max stirner
Good quote by Hannah Ardent "Generally speaking, violence always rises out of impotence. It is the hope of those who have no power to find a substitute for it and this hope, I think, is in vain. Violence can destroy power, but it can never replace it."

Maybe Common good Constitutionalism might be a good way to fix our Constitutional issues . This sort of meshes with my views on rights (like moral rights, natural rights, positive rights etc) throughout this blog. It also meshes with my views and ideals of Civic Nationalism, social solidarity, and 4pt
For example, Common good Constitutionalism says that "Catholicism itself holds that the natural law is written in the hearts of all men and women, and is in principle accessible to the universal natural reason common to all”.
Thomas Aquinas wrote that law is “an ordinance of reason made for the common good by him or her who has charge of the community, and promulgated". Common good constitutionalism adopts this definition of law, and it treats positive law as a promulgated ordinance of reason, where "ordinance of reason" invokes that law which is ascertainable reason, or the natural law.
Natural law provides the background legal principles, like "do good and avoid evil," which are not necessarily determinate as applied to concrete cases.
Positive law, thus, is made when a public authority makes a practical determination within the scope of the natural law.
Like public safety is furthered by having automobiles drive on one side of the road, but nothing about public safety in and of itself requires choosing one side of the road or the other side of the road. So within the requirements of public safety, the public authority is free to determine a concrete application, which is driving on the left or right side.
Within the context of judiciary, the interpretation of legal texts should be made in light of the natural law principles that are made solid by the text. They require review for rationality, but only if the positive law doesn’t offend reason (the background natural law principles like the judiciary should defer to the legislating authority.)
Back to the driving example, to require driving on the left side of the road doesn’t offend reason, nor does driving on the right offend reason. Both sides further the common good by promoting public roadway safety, and so either determination that is made by the legislature should be deferred to.
Common good in Common good Constitutionalism is not defined as a utilitarian aggregation of individual goods, and it is not defined as a tyrannical subjugation of the individual to the community. Instead, it is the unification of individual and community goods which leads to personal and social flourishing.
A Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals judge once wrote in his concurrence in United States v. Tabor this
“The classical judge would attempt to discern what common good is desired by the statute and recognize that a statute can have a purpose toward the good of the individual, a purpose toward the good of the community, and an additional good in harmonizing the interests between the two. A statute—a lex—is an attempt to codify a higher law that a nation or a people all know to be true and good, even if it were to limit individual freedom in certain circumstances."
So according go this, individual goods or rights should be justified in light of their contribution to the flourishing of the community

To build on that ideal, I support agonistic radical democracy where social movements attempt to create social and political change by challenging neoliberal and neoconservative concepts of democracy. This strategy is to expand the liberal definition of democracy, based on freedom and equality, to include difference
This agonistic radical democracy means the root of democracy and it rejects deliberative and liberal democracies oppressing differing opinions, races, classes, genders, and worldviews in attempts to build consensus. An agonistic radical democracy builds off of the fact that in a country, and in a social movement there are many (a plurality of) differences which resist consensus.
Agonistic radical democracy is not only accepting of difference, dissent and antagonisms, but it is dependent on it. This is based on the fact that there are oppressive power relations that exist in our society and that those oppressive relations should be made visible, re-negotiated and altered.
By building democracy around difference and dissent, oppressive power relations that exist in societies are able to come to the forefront so that they can be challenged.
So elements of this can be found throughout my blog, including on Participatory Democracy-Direct Democracy, Defensive Democracy, Dominant minority, Marxism expanding on Liberalism 1.0 (instead of Liberalism 2.0 expanding on Liberalism 1.0), Liberal Democracy, Inclusive Democracy, Progressive Utilization theory, change from within, Libertarian Paternalism , Anarchism, forcing change (heaven is taken by storm), Autonomous Radical Democracy (as a DotP), Austromarxism, etc

Sacrificing yourself for the 'greater good' is futile since our society is made up of individuals instead of a cohesive unit that is separate from the individual.

I reject the ideology of collective responsibility. This rejection does not mean I refuse social or class analysis. It means rather that I remove the moral judgment from such an analysis, while I refuse the dangerous practice of blaming individuals for activities that have been done in the name of (or that have been attributed to), a social category of which they are said to be a part, but about which they had no choice — i.e., “Jewish”, “male”, “white”, etc.). post left ie post left anarchism
On the social level, the reappropriation of life, in addition to its full reappropriation on the individual level, can only happen when we stop identifying ourselves essentially in terms of our social identities.
I do not really support the idea that anyone, either due to “privilege” or due to supposed membership in a particular oppressed group, owes uncritical solidarity to any struggle or movement
I recognize that such a conception is a major obstruction in any serious revolutionary process.
Creating collective projects and activities to serve the needs and desires of the individuals involved, and not vice versa.
I recognize that the fundamental alienation imposed by capital is not based in any hyper individualist ideology that it may promote. I instead believe that it stems from the collective project of production that it imposes, and this expropriates our individual creative capacities to fulfill its aims.
I recognize the liberation of each and every individual to be able to determine the conditions of his or her existence in free association with others of his or her choosing. (i.e., the individual and social reappropriation of life) as the primary aim of revolution post left ie post left anarchism.

I support Left Center Libertarian Paternalism. paternalism more natural way go help marginalized groups like a parent helping child
I support Left Center Libertarian Paternalism. I am glad that non marginalized activists, politicians etc use their higher up positions to lift up marginalized groups to where they are to give them equality.
It is like someone who is at the top of a ladder reaching down to pull people stuck on the ladder up. I support via a decentralized government/federal state (without concentration of power and anti tyranny) Center left liberal party of Chile

safeguarding social rights (like education and healthcare) broad front chile

This method would be based off of egalitarian liberalism combined with progressivism (with particular reference to the social liberalism in Europe), Center left liberal party of Chile

Since the state is a political expression of organized society , it should not be a neutral agent but instead through a variety of creative and common sense, bipartisan methods not just economic but the distribution and the democratization of political, productive, gender, informational along with cultural territorial power and other spheres with inequalities exist . Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate
The state must manage and regulate (within reason) of the economical system , being the owner and protector of strategic resources and the enviornmentand being able bodied to participate in economic production Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate
In addition, its management was characterized by raising the levels of transparency, participation, closeness to citizens and digital activism, reporting in different parts of the District with different platforms the details of his parliamentary work, through citizen campaigns, periodic public accounts Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate
We all form and build the state which is for all of us. I support the creation of an inclusive and citizen state as the main guarantor of the common good and assurance of universality and decommodification of social rights at both a cultural level and institutional level Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate (like an Inclusive Democracy)
The link between the state and citizenship is a powerful tool for the conflict between our current neoliberal model and a society that guarantees effective social rights Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate
The combo of a strengthened state and expanded social and political citizenship must work with feedback between the two . Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate
The more democratic and inclusive the state is, the better the state will collect the citizens will and the more effective it will be in its role (or maybe even paternalistic role) as guarantor. This is MUCH better than State liberalism and big brotherism by far Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate
I support a state where power is distributed equally for the promotion and development of territorial and or national identities ,structuring itself in a way to generate real local governments thus being able toreaffirm territorial autonomy as a fundamental part of democracy Broad Front Chile standards ie G.J moderate

I am ok with a Constitutional Republic (what conservatives call US) which is has more upsides than a Liberal Democracy
I sympathize with Oswald Spangler’s Anti Democrat stance even though I am not really Anti Democrat
I don’t see the many advances that have been made
I oppose the view that the number of adherents drawn to a cause, idea or program is what determines the strength of the struggle, rather than the qualitative value of the practice of struggle as an attack against the domination institutions and as a life reappropriation post left anarchism
My partial, or at times rejection or my wariness of every institutionalization or formalization of decision making, and indeed of every conception of decision making as a moment separated from life and practice.
This partial, or at times rejection or my wariness , as well, of the evangelistic method that strives to win over the masses. post left anarchism
Such a method assumes that the theoretical exploration is at an end, that a person has the answer to which all are to adhere to and that therefore every method is acceptable for getting the message out even if that method contradicts what the people are saying. post left anarchism
This leads a person to seek followers who accept their position rather than comrades and accomplices with which to carry on that person’s explorations. post left anarchism
The practice instead of striving to carry out a person’s projects, as best a person can, in a way that is consistent with one’s ideas, dreams and desires, by extension attracting potential accomplices with whom to develop affinity relationships and to expand the revolt practice. post left anarchism
I support Defensive Democracy in some cases when I deem it justified (and I would never support Defensive Democracy in situations where it excessively repressed of civil rights).
Defensive democracy is a collections of laws, legislation that is delegates and court rulings which limit specific rights and freedoms in a Constitutional Republic Democracy in order to protect the existence of the state and its character, human rights and institutions.
Defensive Democracy refers to major conflict that could come about in a Democratic Constitutional Republic country between adherence with such country’s values, (like freedom of association, the right to be elected, and between preventing parties, groups and peoples who are anti democratic from abusing these principles. vaush liberal socialism
I have either (1) A Max Stirner-esque critique of dogma and ideological thinking as a distinct phenomenon in favor of "critical self-theory" at individual and communal levels. Or (2) A Bouvier-esque critique of there being no inherent meaning to life, yet that we're forced to grapple with the physical and environmental drives we were raised with, to figure out how we want to engage with our fellow man/woman from there. Or (3) Some entirely different foundation. left anarchism subreddit sidebar
I agree with this quote: "Our democracy is at great risk. Because GOP leaders care more about power than anything else.And because our economy isn’t working for millions of hard working Americans. We’re in the fight of our lives—a fight I’m ready to lead as California’s next U.S. Senator." Adam Schiff
It’s time to end the corporate takeover of our democracy. Corporate Super PACs should be banned and a clean public financing system should be implemented. We need to repeal Citizens United and publicly finance our elections.
We must make it easier for Congress to legislate. That means we must find what to do with the filibuster and reform the Supreme Court.
Over 70% of congressional districts in America are deemed “safely Republican or safely Democrat” and do not have competitive general elections. We support bold reforms to provide voters an equal say in our democracy. This includes efforts to expand the House of Representatives and the Fair Representation Act to create multi-member districts and ranked-choice voting.
We also support the movement to provide city-statehood for Washington D.C. (like Singapore) and a referendum for Puerto Ricans to decide on independence or statehood. Justice Democrats (except the city-state part that was my twist)
