So it's quite similar to the Scandinavian way of running things ? Or will there be some major differences ?

I hear you. Probably won't work as well in America. Seems like America just needs to get their rich to pay their fair share of tax somehow.

Yeah, pure socialism don't sound like a good idea to me.

Okay, that sounds better.

How do you see public ownership of means of production working practically in a place like America ?

Is he a hardcore socialist in the sense of no private ownership of production etc ?

Well it shows you that something in a more socialist direction is not as scary as some people think. What does true socialism mean to you ?

Scandinavia.

@samijiben How could this possibly be viewed as not being a genocide ? All the evidence points to it being just that.

I hear you, I think it's useful though to approach healing from different angles, and gaining different perspectives on how your inner world works. Is there a particular issue in your life that you have struggled with for a long time ? Then I would keep on exploring more perspectives and other tools also. You don't know what you don't know. Usually when we think we've tried it all, that's when we discover something different that works even better.

I meant doubting whether this is a genocide or not

What causes you any doubt ?

"Genocide is the intentional destruction, in whole or in part, of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group." There's basically nothing left standing in Gaza. What do you think is happening there ?

But I don't understand your unwillingness to say whether you have a connection with Israel or not.

I did not accuse you. I simply said that if you do have an affiliation with Israel, then it MIGHT have played a role in your motivation for this thread.

Im not sure how i have been finger pointing, but the fact that your unwilling to say wether you have an affilliation with Israel or not, means that it might be relevant to your motivation for starting this thread. Gaza is being destroyed left right and centre. What difference will it make wether its labelled as genocide or not. Was the Holocaust really bad or just bad ? Can you see how this discussion is a little bit insulting to the suffering happening right now ?

I hear you, lets be honest though ? Do you not have any affilliation with Israel whatsoever ? Because to whom really will it make a difference wether this is labelled as genocide or not ? Certainly not to the people of Gaza. Logically it could only make a difference to someone associated with Israel, ie to ease their minds a bit. I really dont have a dog in this fight. But its very clear to me that there's a lot of denial happening around this topic at the moment. And as i said earlier, it's understandable, but actually not neccessary, because everyone has a Jesus and a Hitler within.

Im speaking truth, sorry if it hurts.

Everyone grows up thinking their country is the good guys. So it's a bitter pill to swallow when your country is involved in some bad shit. Trust me, i know, im Afrikaans, the white South Africans that invented Apartheid. But why are we shocked really ? Instead of being in denial, it's another opportunity to integrate All of yourself.

Stop trying to deny or soften the severity of what's happening in Gaza, by playing around with words.

I take it that you are associated with Israel in some way ?

What are you trying to achieve with this thread, are you looking for a nicer description of what's happening in Gaza ?

New Age meets AI

Technically it should be possible to reign things in with government regulation, but it doesn't seem likely, you right. So, just like with all these wars, when it comes to AI, we will also need some kind of miracle.

Not sure how I'm exalting man. Merely suggesting that just because we can allow something to happen, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best thing evolution wise. We can also allow nuclear bombs to go off, but probably not a good idea. I think we might be at an impasse here, don't want to derail this thread too much. Looks like the ceasefire might be over.
