No, not at all.

Peoples personal truths dont need to make objective sense. This could literally be what they do. Its not trolling just because they arent posturing as an internet expert on life. This is the honesty we need. Doesnt mean we have to aspire to the same goal.

No?

This needs to be an auto comment on every post in Lemmy.

What does that mean?

Oh wow can you tell me more?

Obv

If it is indeed correct, indeed. Hopefully we all get equality in paradise in the end.

Im not a historian, nor revolutionist, and i have the benefit of just shitting on your assertions. But i am your target audience. And i still dont know how you are going to convince me to read a stack of history books or pick up an AK.

My self interest will probably just make me want to fight for the system as long as i can instead of enduring hardship. Anyways nice talking to you.

I just want to say your effort is appreciated and fair points regarding what i dont know about marxism.

1. I think my conjecture that the power structures wont be destroyed is justification enough to not seek to destroy them. My "seems like" is alternative to working with the power structure, but i understand i dont have data to substaniate my belief that individuals wont overcome centralized supercomputer data analytics commanding autonomous enforcement.

2. I didnt say capitalism would be preserved, but that the current power structures would. I dont think there will be a compelling motivation for an impervious power structure to maintain the illusion of freedom. Profit falling off doesnt dissolve societal hierarchy if the power structure still enforces it by identity rather than wealth.

3. Our discomfort doesnt have much time to motivate us before we willingly accept the power structure (due to no alternative).

That said, im not convinced an omnipresent evil is guaranteed to arise from capitalism, just a self-interested entity.

Im feeling a little ignored with that answer when im saying the power structures can be largely automated, and used by individuals, which certainly must be outside the comprehension of marxist teachings.

Additionally, while capitalism might end, we have no guarantee about its replacement. If any time in history could yield a unique power structure it would be now.

Seems more relevant to try to influence the power structure than to destroy it. I say that not because it currently cant be destroyed, but that it wont, and this only becomes more true as time goes on as capability of automated power structures increases. Our comfort is ample to keep the system safe.

Transparently, I wont, and thats part of the problem.

If you want to talk about overcoming increasingly capable power structures that are increasingly yielded by laymen individuals, and not highly trained groups, then id be interested to hear about it. But i understand if this is not how you want to spend your time.
