no it did work. They did reasonably well considering how brutally they were fought against and the fact that they (udssr, china for example) had their respective revolutions in abismal material conditions (feudalism). The fact they came from feudalism and managed to lift as many people out of poverty as they did and them ending up being able to compete with western states is nothing short of a miracle. To say the communist revolution didn't work is absurd

Yeah, but it was tried and it didn't work. If you try it again it will fail again and the rich will continue existing. -
Is it possible you don't know what a vanguard party is? You might have a skewed image in your head of what a leftist is. Real leftists are highly organized. They don't just run around, complain and randomly attack people. The people who only complain and protest are fake leftists.
-
The goal is to keep the rich in check so they don't abuse their power like in the west
-
people need to be free of worries about material conditions to be free enough to be truly creative. In my view, the government is supposed to help the people not the rich

Of course we know that. But Marxism doesn't solve that problem. Overthrowing the rich does not work. The way to get power is through business and creative labor, not through protesting and overthrowing people. If you are sick of being powerless, build your own business and create useful work. Marxism is not going to make you wealthy. -
Sounds too annoying. Browser needs to have a right-click on link context menu to undo visitation.
-
You can actually undo that visited state, just delete that link from your browser history, that's it. Just did it, to double check 😅
-
Yeah, it goes to show how most parts of history are just parroted, not questioned. Makes you wonder how much of human history is just made up shit. Can you imagine what kind of nonsense they made up about the Buddha or Jesus or George Washington?

What you people need to understand is that no amount of theorizing will get the people who are currently in power to give that power up. When you scream at them "but truth!" they just laugh. They don't care about truth. These people have zero self awareness they just follow the money all day. There is only one way to get integral theory into practice at a big scale in the west and this is to start taking over the governments. And the truth is that Marxist-Leninists are the specialists when it comes to that nobody can deny that. What you need to realize is when you sit in your room and split hairs about marxist theory, at the end of the day you are just helping the rich stay in power. Stop with this useless endless fragmentation. It's exactly what the rich want and that's why they love critical theory since it keeps people divided. Have a revolution first and then argue about whether integral politics or marxism is better (spoiler: They are compatible)

The thing I never liked about HTML visited link highlighting is that if you accidentally click on the wrong link, it gets highlighted and can't be undone. But those are just the limits of HTML. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All of the reactions I find in my direct experience regarding anger appear to arise directly as a function of ego, hurt, and defensiveness. How could I find any other source? I doubt you know the way, it seems you have no explanation.
-
Is there any other way besides direct experience?
- Today
-
Yea I noticed, thanks, makes it easy to go through the list.
-
Done, thanks for the quick reply!
-
In theory, but how do you describe that? Seems doubtful anybody could communicate such a thing.
-
Could one have anger that doesn't result from attachment to ego or the self?
-
Please PM me your old and new email address so I can fix it.

I have made this change. Visited clips are now highlighted. To see the effect, SHIFT+Refresh your browser window for the clips page.

How you feel could be clear signs that you are not the social type and may have find peace, joy, and personal understanding in solitude.

Willy Phallicus replied to JoshB's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Words can never really do it justice but my awakening all those after it basically amount to the same thing - Im a bored and lonely god and this is what a bored and lonely and infinite god does - escape loneliness and boredom and infinity by forgetting who I truly am so I can bask in the glory of limitation, finiteness and other. The only thing that makes being limitless interesting is pretending not to be limitless. The only thing that can titillate the immortal is the threat of non existence - even if there's no real threat to be realized. As far as how its altered my experience, well, it hasn't really done much in that department at the surface level. Im still carrying water and chopping wood. It is my understanding that I am here to carry water and chop wood because for all intents and purposes, I really have nothing better to do. -
Start with empathy towards yourself. If you do not wish to bring poison into your body & mind do not violate those values. This is the basis of self respect. Empathy begins with oneself & upon full expression so too does it end there. That does not mean you must stop caring for the people you love. But become aware that certain situaltion become toxic and destructive without your least recognition until the damage has already insinuated.

Btw, just realized I bought it using an email on Paypal different from the email I had purchased other Actualized.org products (despite being logged into Actualized.org with the 'correct' email), and the product was assigned to the Paypal email I used. Would there be a way to unify this, so as to keep everything under the same login, if possible? CC: @Leo Gura EDIT: I'm gonna send an email to the system email with the request.

Hmm maybe depends how we are defining value and how expansive we are with that Dont forget crime is a vast and huge industry worth trillions. Btw its not actually a simple dichotomy. in a sense you are right because, even the mafia boss is providing huge value to someone. Maybe i am being too tight with my definition of value Selling and trafficking drugs effectively is extremely valuable. In this sense most people are providing value.

Please use your words with more care and tact around these parts.
