Post-modernisms refutation of objective truth/fact is to reject thousands of years of painful development of human thought and the basis of science. I can reject the theory of gravity, but it wont stop a 1000m fall killing me.

You can believe every single element of current scientific consensus without calling it “objective truth.” I mean, that’s kind of the idea behind scientific theories anyway. They’re just the most fitting narratives.

No they are models/theories based on evidence/data. The difference is that when the data disproves a theory, scientists abandon the theory and don't think that is an easy discipline. Your entire career and reputation my depend on that theory.

“The difference is that when the data disproves a theory, scientists abandon the theory and don't think that is an easy discipline.“ How’s that “different”? If they’re willing to abandon it, they don’t view it as “objective truth.” It’s just the closest thing they have.

The communist experiment has been tried many times and always ended in tyranny, starvation and death. When will communists show some scientific method and accept they and it is wrong?

Have I not yet provided multiple examples of communism not ending in tyranny, starvation, OR death? That’s normally like, the first thing people ask. I like MAREZ as a fun example, they’re strapped all the time, yet they’re *still* not killing each other.

Anyway, capitalism kills 18 million people a year and has been responsible for genocides all over the world for the past 600 years. Why doesn’t anyone ever ask capitalists to admit THEY’RE wrong?

What genocides? Name one. Capitalism is barely 600 years old, and then only existed in a few places like Venice and The Netherlands.

Capitalist genocides include: - The Late Victorian Holocausts (27M) - The Congo Free State (8M) - The Amazon Genocide (250k) - Famine under Decommunization (3-6M) - The Expansion of French Africa (13M) - The Transatlantic, Arab and Ottoman Slave Trades (genocidal byproduct ~40M)

1. Victorian holocaust 27m? Based on a single book? Congo more belivable Belgium was an appalling colonial power, but again how is this capitalism fault, colonialism was based on racial superiority, not capitalism.

Leopold II was ABSOLUTELY motivated by the extraction of resources through capitalist ownership, and even accomplished his tyranny through a proto-PMC. The Belgians didn’t show up just because they wanted people to rule over. They wanted GOLD.
