About halfway true. There is a lot of misinformation out there to read too.
>>684431787
True. Those who read more imagine more.
>>684431787
In my experience, true. At least for all literature - including all the humanities.

It's true my whole world was orange until I read enough to learn that we were living in a hellish landscape

I wish i didnt learn or understand so much.
I can't keep a stable job cause i can read everyone's personality, bad habbits, small movements like every word in a book.

There's an edited pic of this where more books he's standing on shows 'heaven' higher up beyond the lower stack of books.
Yes it's true, it's just not the complete picture.

I found the pic. You have the dumbass version of it.
>>684431787
If the books are symbolic of knowledge very true.
Problem today is books are just as much part of popular culture as everything else and you're not exactly going to grow your mind massively in your average book shop these days.

They're all facing the wrong way.

We're not lacking in information in the modern day by any stretch, but the quality of the vast majority of information is highly questionable. Some might even say we're squandering our potential as a species for the sake of we all know what.

Ugh, this. Imagine how comfortable we could be as humanity if we all worked together, using resources 'for the people' rather than 'for the person'
That said, there's more I could be doing for the betterment of humanity but I don't, so that makes me a hypocrite

Welcome to socialism
>>684435580
All jokes aside though, people hate communism/ socialism etc because "We tried it and it didn't work, too many people died"
However to my limited understanding capitalism as an idea has been around for a lot longer than communism and has had more of a chance to be perfected
I'm not going to make a vote one way or another, but who's to say that if socialism had had more of a chance in history it wouldn't work as well if not better than our current systems?
I'm not an expert though, the knowledge I have of history and political systems is pretty much just ignorance, so if I'm completely wrong about any of this then I won't be surprised
>>684435504
I personally think some are more guilty than others for how things are. Some are undeniably guilty, proud even.
>>684435504
Also, you sound like a filthy communist.
Basically, there are too many people, meaning it's no longer about individuals, it's about groups, eventually that group must be treated as the one organism, witch an authority figure to direct them toward a 'shared' goal.
Most know this is a lie, the authority typically knows this and it's nothing but a stream of expert manipulators and professional provocateurs that shape society today. All the while those same people abandon that futile dream to hopefully amass enough wealth for their family that when it's finally crunch time, only they will survive.
History usually doesn't remember the weak, they just die off and it's natural. This is the way the world ends.
This is why society is a joke.
Society is a construct so venile and corrupt it deserves to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall it's existence.
But then I watch TV, jerking off and go to work, so I guess I'm a hypocrite too.

In these times people cringe at the idea of government havy any power at all, especially over the economy.
Socialism puts part of the economy in the government's hands, which can be far better than crude capitalism.
However, the main problem, as with all systems, is corruption. Any system could work perfectly if it weren't for corruption.
>>684436037
Imo the greatest problem with socialism and consequently communism is precisely that "using resources for the person" thing.
It seems like something that would work out in a small scale, like a village or a small town, for then if somebody started getting out of line the people as a whole could easily organize themselves, question said individual and demand him to straighten up. In a larger scale though, like USSR, if a group of people inside the government became corrupt, it would take many many people to stop them, and getting all these people to work together is such a hassle you're as likely to end up just installing another corrupt government over that one as to actually stopping your corruption problem.
>>684436356
True socialism would be a democratic approach to work, government, the community...etc as a means of spreading the power and limiting it's corruption. What I'm saying is socialism is a proposition to solve corruption of power but not allowing any small group or individual have more say than anyone else.
Idealistically speaking, anyway.
