      Primitive social instincts are the driving force of socialism: treating groups of millions of strangers, who extremely benefit from market-based divisions of labor, as if we're all just a li'l cozy build-each-others'-barn village or share-the-kill foraging clan. Social Luddites. https://twitter.com/caseycdutch/status/1024443756362256384 …

      So community is primitive but taking everything can get your hands on without regard for your need is . . . not primitive? Organizing society around immutable individual avarice is galaxy-brain-level sophistication? Just trying to meet you on your own terms here.

      Advanced institutions and mores are socially scalable (roughly speaking, they still work with strangers who don't like you), primitive ones are not, even if they sound good or you make the advanced ones sound bad.

          Socialism endeavors to run contemporary large-scale societies without extracting every ounce of wellbeing from the majority of adherents. It is advanced (though nascent and ill-applied). You're trying to make it "sound bad" by conflating its compassion with something unrelated.

          I'm not a socialist and I think you're brilliant and mean well. I also think you're letting "advanced", "primitive" and "scale" do a lot of unexamined heavy lifting here.

          I don't want to fight it's just that if you're going to reduce huge contemporary organizing philosophies to the simplest corresponding ancient emotion it's capitalism that's gonna come out looking bad every time.

          You and Casey are both New Yorkers; a place I. The grip of a Socialism Fad. It's hip to defend Socialism; “Socialism is the new silouhuette”. No one outside of your circle, or who knows what Socialism is is fooled by your Nuance and Perspective Doctrine. Socialism is very evil.

          Nick, the social state is institution that makes people live together, somewhat don't kill each other, and they certainly don't like each other. Religion served the same, you met christian you've never met from other side of world and you could rely on him.

          Cool. Sounds like a fine definition of socialism to me. (Instead of believing in an invisible hand sorting things out for the whole of a society, while everybody‘s following his very own selfish interests.)

          Kind of like how Elon Musk wishes for socialism while making his Billions from capitalist investors and low key gov subsidies funded by taxpayers omegalul
