Depends what you mean by “SJW.” Intersectionality is the natural progression of feminism and its synthesis with anti-racist and pro-LGBTQ thought. It also comes largely from political Critical Theory, which is derived DIRECTLY from Marxism— no need for postmodernist middlemen.

1. I will take your word on that. No doubt you are right. But isn't this based on a low opinion of humanity? You don't strike me as wanting to dominate anyone. So why do you think everyone else is so different?

I don’t want to dominate anybody, and I don’t want to be dominated by anybody. I believe the powerful do what they can to hold onto their power mainly because they unconsciously condition each other to do so, not because they’re necessarily malicious or unusually greedy.

I never doubted it, but some do want to dominate. They need to be constrained by law, culture and religion. None of these forces function in a socialist or communist state if that person obtains power. That is reason enough to abandon this doctrine.

How is capitalism more amenable to law, culture or religion functioning? And nobody should ever have power over an entire nation. Sort of a technicality, but “communist state” is an oxymoron. Capital-C Communists run states. But communism describes a stateless mode of society.

Ok, I agree that capitalism requires state backing, but obviously “the guys who control the guys with guns” need law and order too, right? That’s kind of like, what dictators are, be they left-wing or right They’re big ol’ lawmen, usually they leverage culture and religion too.

To quote Judge Dredd, the guys in charge of the guys with guns are the law! Capitalism needs the state to provide security and a legal framework. Other than that the state should stay out of it as much as possible.

Right. But that only needs to be enforced if the use of land and commercial or industrial facilities is restricted, right? But this isn’t needed if public ownership can be established (through an agreement from the user group, not through a central state).

Through non-state public ownership (and with a shared, negotiably contractual responsibility for upkeep), no central authority is necessary. Just agreement among participants, with no other arbitrary barriers to entry.

Non state public ownership can work, but the profit motive needs to be their along with competition. State monopolies are as bad as private ones.
