@mountain_riding@aokperson1@ygzgzot One could also make the more interesting (to me) point that a system where the wealth was shared would rapidly become one where everyone became more prosperous, because the immense ocean of freed human potential would completely transform society in some mysterious positive way.
@mountain_riding@aokperson1@ygzgzot Oh, I see what you're asking. You're right, I'm jumping from the liberation of the proletarians or the rule of the proletarians (united together, overcoming racist mystification) to 'income equality,' whereas in classical Marxism, money simply goes away.
@_CLancellotti Yet just in that the critique in each case is so similar, it seems there is a substance uniting them that derives from the various things they're criticizing. I wanted to join the two (criticized and criticism) using the term 'western culture,' but that's far too vague.
@_CLancellotti Professor Lancelotti, do you have a somewhat pithy way to describe how contemporary leftist-universalism is only a more authoritarian manifestation of the thing it's criticizing?
@aokperson1@ygzgzot Seems pretty closely related. Marx's point was that: "guys, don't get caught up in identity politics. You're ALL poor." My point is that if the solution to this is worldwide sharing of the wealth, anyone who has the free time to ponder these things is going to get a lot poorer.
@ygzgzot Being anti immigration is very bourgeois. I don't get how socialists who argue for relative income equality in one nation stop from applying that to all nations. Which if we did that we'd all make... $15,000 a year
@ChristianHeiens Absent a few small changes, Catholic Christendom was the realization of Plato's Republic.
The three estates correspond to the guardians, auxiliaries, and craftsmen. The pope has to formally deny his appointment. The list goes on...
@Glorbutron@Meaningness The formless shapes in the dark look ugly now. But there cannot help but be a sublime harmony in everything, or else it couldn't possibly cohere. Beauty is being, considered in its order. We will elucidate more connections and what we have found will grow more beautiful.
@hf_222222 In the same way, the spirit of narrative engagement has migrated to visual storytelling, in movies and video. Sure, each one has its respective strengths... novels are deeper, but at least in the US, you aren't going to move people's hearts that way.

I think that the spirit of poetry lives in lyrical music... just as poetry descended from lyric verse, now it has returned to it. We tend to see it as more intellectual than it ever was, when it was a living tradition.
