No ideology, philosophy, “ism" can help us, only the right education that upgrades our inherent nature
Question from the Internet:
“As a Marxist, how do you view the global economy along with global capitalism?”
Based on your question I am not sure I am the right person to answer the question as I am not a Marxist.
Marx was mainly a philosopher, describing human society, directing theoretical solutions without a clear, practical method for implementing it. And when they tried to implement it in practice especially in Russia, Eastern Europe and Asia we know what happened.
I am an empirical scientist of nature interested in actual, practical solutions.
There is no question about global capitalism causing inequality and a gradual, inevitable breakdown of society, while it also destroys the environment since its success is built on ever increasing profit driven by overconsumption, brainwashing people to consume beyond their means.
Still capitalism fits better our inherently selfish, exploitative, individualistic nature, while communism, a truly socialistic society — which tries to force artificial equality on people were suppressing individualism, individual property - is against our nature. This is why Communistic regimes always need oppression, excessive force to maintain themselves until they inevitably collapse.
On the other hand it is true that in order to become compatible with Nature’s fully integrated, “Communistic" system, where each element unconditionally complement, serve each other, we will not survive. We can’t deny, circumvent, ignore Nature’s strict, unchanging laws that sustain the balance and homeostasis life depends on.
So we need to, consciously, methodically find and implement a unique “middle line", building a nature-like Communistic human system without suppressing, erasing, but harnessing our inherently insatiable, selfish, egoistic nature for the well-being of the whole.
We can’t achieve anything by trying to change “isms", ideologies, philosophies or systems, we need to educate, upgrade the human being first, ask we can become compatible, adapted to Nature’s Integral system, through understanding that this serves our benefit, giving us a better future.
