Learning “Communism” from Nature

Question from the Internet:

“Would we be able to deal with the economic impact of COVID-19 in a communist society?”

We can deal with the present socio-economic crisis and prevent any future global problems - while elevating our existence to a qualitatively much higher, collective existence - through principles that on paper look very similar to Communism.

After all, Nature’s perfect, integral system is built on “Communistic” laws: selfless, altruistic, unconditional service of the whole collective above selfish, personal calculations, individualism.

And since we are integral parts of Nature’s system - contrary to our stubborn, individualistic, subjective belief - in order to solve problems and survive we will need to accept and apply the strict, unchanging Natural laws, that sustain the balance and homeostasis life and optimal development depends on.

But as we already know from history, we can’t apply such principles, laws through coercion, oppression, terror, or through misleading, brainwashing propaganda, especially that these Natural laws, principles go against our instinctively self-serving, self-justifying, individualistic “operating program”.

This is why we need a dual motivation: on one hand increasing crisis, the failure of the Human system, the sense of approaching, highly realistic global self-destruction pushing us from behind, while a unique, purposeful and highly practical educational method pulling us towards a better future - through positive motivation, using free choice and positive example to recruit people.

Then as soon as we have a healthy minority, “critical mass” that already understands the need to apply Nature’s “Communistic” templates to Human society and are willing to change, adapt themselves accordingly, then they can become the unique pioneers who will be able to pull the rest of - increasingly hopeless, suffering - Humanity behind then towards safety.

Then later on when we secured our collective survival through the achieved compatibility with Nature, gradually we will reveal much greater benefits, advantages in that collective existence compared to how we lived out lives before.
