this book

in this book, he is essentially logically saying that ‘altruistic communism’ is impossible. hence, you’ll be stuck in ‘egoistic communism’ forever, which you may know as ‘the dictatorship of the proletariat’

next podcast done. this one with a surprise guest, even to me!

sitting reading up on Ashlag/Laitman’s ‘altruistic communism’, and… well, it appears rather aligned with communism of yore, except this one is allegedly spiritual

spiritual rewards and spiritual penalties!

and communism, for the record, is a moral ideal. moses hess already established this firmly, though not spiritually (heh)

gradual transition (not violent), the whole world is ‘one family’ - that’s essentially baha’i - economic correction comes first, then religion… still baha;i to me

the baha’i are all over this. as is the vanguard state.

‘there must be a small establishment’ i see so there is an elite in this utopian fantasy

‘“Propaganda” can be used instead of proof, if it is done with diligence.’

no sh-t, sherlock!

’Because of the craving for possessions, it is impossible to build altruistic communism unless egoistic communism comes first…’

the coercive phase is a prerequisite. that makes no sense, because earlier in the document, he’s explicit about the coercive form is not altruistic communism and cannot lead to it

i think i ‘get’ it. Marx said the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’ withers - but never detailed how. Ashlag says it withers into religion.

in reality, it ‘withers’ into the infrastructure.

yeah there it is - in his description of existing coercive communist societies

‘there is no hope that this reign of terror will ever end, as the optimists promise. Neither bayonets nor education or public opinion can change human nature to work willingly without adequate fuel.’

so the terror of egoistic communism cannot end, yet that’s the path to altruistic communism?

‘altruistic communism’ is a con job. obvious, of course, but you need to prove it, ideally through their own texts.

so in other words, what they seek to do is progressively fuse this into education, then slowly equalise economics, then when that's achieved, the religious alignment can take place

*bam*, suddenly the baha'i faith appears reasonable in the achievement of this objective.

and UNESCO of course was created by julian huxley who was a believer, and joseph needham who included the 'S' into UNESCO - both of whom were marxists/socialists, and Viktor Kovda then had ICSU integrated with UNESCO on practically their first day in existence.

the 'science' now had a path into 'education', and Huxley then split to co-found IUCN, because this was always about 'educating' us about the 'science' of 'planetary salvation'

it all makes complete logical sense, but i keep creating material for more essays when i should be wrapping up what i have in progress already… hnngh…

yeah, it’s through religion. that couldn’t possibly be more crystal clear.

reminder that the baha’i faith came to be at essentially the same time as communism, and appears to fit the bill almost perfectly

i see, so now he’s back to saying egoistic communism will always be at war with the world.

but he also said that the path to altruistic communism goes through egoistic communism, and that religion is the driver.

also, reminder - laitman says ‘israel’ is a state of mind, not ethnicity nor geography.

and again - this is their own material. not making this up.

ah sheesh, you will starve but it’s for the good of you

and… i mean, it’s not a good look, is it?

the differentiation between ownership and control is interesting, because that’s exactly what takes place wrt tokenisation

and as for it making no difference - it’s not who owns the means of production. it’s about who manages the inputs and outputs of production.

it’s a soup of bureaucrats.

yeah, laitman’s wonderful ‘altruistic communism’ is just as oppressive as regular communism.

23) Ethics cannot rely solely on education and public opinion

oh wow, then we’re treated to a lenin quote - the permanent religious state does not stem from religion but from science

that’s… the final link, really.

Carus’s religion of science -> ethics

so IUCN claim something about ‘planetary stewardship’
ICSU (ISC) fabricates the ‘science’
this is channelled into religion as we can clearly see through ie Laudato Si and Laudate Deum
UNESCO brainwashes it with the kids
…
and then in 1993, we have Hans Kung’s ‘Towards a Global Ethic’ at the centenary of the first Parliament of thr World’s Religions, which is where Paul Carus, the great big monist that he was, introduced interfaith.
