1 last comment on Karl Marx:
Where did he go sooo wrong?
Simple: he apparently felt that communism meant "everybody owning everything, with all their heart".
Which means he was mortally-naive, of course..
Perhaps the communism of the *original* Christians,
"44 All those trusting in Yeshua stayed together and had everything in common; 45 in fact, they sold their property and possessions and distributed the proceeds to all who were in need."
from https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%202%3A44-47&version=CJB
and "32 All the many believers were one in heart and soul, and no one claimed any of his possessions for himself, but everyone shared everything he had. 33 With great power the emissaries continued testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua, and they were all held in high regard. 34 No one among them was poor, since those who owned lands or houses sold them and turned over the proceeds 35 to the emissaries to distribute to each according to his need."
from https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%204%3A32-35&version=CJB
was different, but if we contrast the *spirit* of those people with the *spirit* of the Inquisitors, who were torture-murdering "in the name of Jesus Christ" in the 1100's https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition
then it becomes obvious that what "communism" *actually* means, is every bit as dependent upon the *spirit* or *feeling* ( zeitgeist means spirit-of-the-times, iirc ) of the moment, as what "Christian" means, with equally extreme diversity between the holiest-version vs the evillest version..
AND THIS PRINCIPLE HOLDS FOR ALL HUMAN MEANINGS!
What does "rule of law" mean to a HumaneJustice-loyal person, in contrast with what "rule of law" means to a fascist or communist legalist??

This the evidence shows, clearly, that entrusting too-vague labels with "protecting" us, is .. idiotic.
We HAVE to be more explicit, to make the difference between Rule of Just Law be *distinct* from Rule of Legalism's Law,
we HAVE to differentiate between the .. religious, for lack of a better identification, .. communism, of everybody owning everything, vs the no-heart-in-it communism-machine, where nobody owns anything ..
Same labels, "rule of law" in 1 case, "communism" in the other case, but *opposite* meanings under the same labels!
Anybody who's experienced "family" made-of-contempt, & has actually encountered someone else's family, where acceptance was the root of their holding-together .. *that's the same showing of too-vague-label with extremes both under the "same" banner!*

Some might hold that this identifies how English is fundamentally the wrong language for this work, as it is easy to be too-vague in English, but I hold that the problem is our *habit of lack-of-rigorous-correctness* or our *habit of lack-of-objectivity* that is the problem.
I've been told the in the UN, they use French/Francaise as the intermediate-language, because it is so precise.
If you see that French humor is farce, the humor of absurd-details-crashing-into-each-other,
and you see the English humor is the humor of structural-implications crashing into each-other,
each language's humor shows *that* language's strength.
But nowhere does that mean that French isn't able to communicate structural-implication ( I simply don't know: I'm not French ), & it *definitely* doesn't mean that English is somehow incapable of detail-precision.
I'm *presuming* that languages have more capability than is *usually* exercised in them, generally, as a normal capacity ( maybe some don't, I don't know: a linguistics expert might know.. ).

All the anti-strategic idiocy, all the anti-strategic indulging, all the "it won't ever happen, so therefore we won't ever have to have done things responsibly" ignorance..
WE are going to pay for previous-generations doing that, & the next-generations are going to PAY-AND-PAY-AND-PAY for our having indulged in such anti-responsibility.

Marx *demonstrated* 1 method of indulging-in-feelings, with his now-obvious "communism-means-everybody-owns-everything" feeling blotting-out the objective-truth.
& an *ocean* of economic-theory, political-theory, philosophy, etc, "stands on" that delusion that he pushed the world into being sucker-punched by.
We HAVE TO do better than that.
We HAVE TO *correctly* identify what is trustworthy, & FORCE our civilization's "spine" to be that, to the exclusion of what the parasite-factions want, at ANY cost, XOR The Great Filter will silence our kind, permanently, from this galaxy & Universe.

Social-animals, from hive-insects, to immense-school-molluscs, to mammals, consistently develop mental-abilities to deal-with the social/other-people dimension of our lives.
But what herdbeast-life requires of herd-beasts *isn't good enough* for civilization to survive on, right?
Feelings *misled* many throughout history, fatally.
We need to get the objective AND the subjective, *both* into our race's "spine"/systems-of-civilization.
To NOT make the mistake/delusion that Karl Marx committed.
To instead see each *spectrum* of meaning that any label identifies, & to *intentionally lock-out* the sociopathic, the machiavellian, the narcissistic, the nihilistic, the sadistic, the ideological/prejudice-rooted/"religious", in order to .. live.
When every label means opposite-meanings to people due to "dog whistle" programming..
then considered-reasoning hasn't even got any place left, in our own minds!
How can any *considered reasoning* person read those quotes from the Christian Bible, above, & then proclaim that "socialism is evil"??
Comically, those who *do* that insist on feeding, clothing, & housing their own babies/children, *which is socialism!*
Want even more insult-on-top-of-injury evidence?
The Heritage Foundation *shared its subscriber-lists with other right-wing groups, free-of-charge, WHICH IS SOCIALISM, because it was sooo much more-effective to win their war *against socialism* with!
( source: there was a book, with a blue dust-cover on it, which was about the most-effective not-for-profits.
They included the Heritage Foundation as a representative of the right; most of their subjects were left not-for-profits. Sorry I don't remember the title, & I've tried finding it, to know its name, repeatedly, in the last months. They identified this fact, but didn't point-up the irony in it. )
So, the global-fascist-alliance, committed to force-dismantling-civil-rights as fast as they can, uses *socialism-the-technology* to empower & speed their own work.
WHILE holding that "socialism" is evil, throughout their propaganda..
AND nobody's pointing this falsity out, in "journalism", or in any of the "debates" going on??
Un-upright indulging, & idiocy.
( ALL debates ought be asynchronous, not in-person: in-person consistently favors the most-skilled-bully, whereas asynchronous/online favors the issues, unless the early-visitors are allowed to presume that "it's all settled: the most-aggressive-commenters won".
Therefore such issue-debates NEED to be *flagged* with "this is still preliminary: not enough time has been in this debate for ENOUGH of the points to be raised, for completeness-of-discussion to be, yet."
There needs to be an *objective minimum-duration* before any issue can be considered discussed-enough for the *actual* major-points to be made-visible, too.
There also needs to be an IssueDiagram of the debate created to condense it into visual-spacial mode, for people to *reason* about more-easily.
Failure to do this will simply result in more percentage-of-humankind being obliterated, needlessly, this century.
It's a *systems*-requirement, not a "political" one, that can produce greater survival.
Opposing it, of course, is the "political" motivation to have REACTION rule the world, blotting-out considered-reasoning, & if *it* wins, then .. rampaging until gone is our species's result. )

Karl Marx *wouldn't or couldn't* see past his emotion, to actuality.
His non-seeing mislead *much of the entire world* following his "lead" in non-accuracy of belief, obliterating millions of lives for sake of that belief.
We *have to* do better than that.
We *have to* hold to what *actually* is, no matter how "impersonal" that feels,
simply because the alternative is to *continue* "drunk driving" this world's "bus" while fighting-over emotions/political-delusions,
*instead-of* us dodging the falling-boulders of #ClimatePunctuation
and jet-streams sometimes jamming, producing "atmospheric rivers", roasting/burning anomalies, freezing-anomalies, drowning-anomalies, etc,
and Atlantic-Meridional-Overturning-Current shutting-down, turning the oceans stagnant,
and Greenland melting into the North Atlantic, whose ports *cannot* deal-with that amount of local-sea-level-rise...
Natural Selection's *on our kind*, now.
*We* created these problems which are sooo great that they can,
if we insist on *won't*-grow-up as our "answer",
wipe us off the face of existence.
We have to NOT make the delusion/mistake that Marx made:
we have to NOT see emotional-want as inevitable-consequence-of-any-specific-civil-configuration.
We have to SEE the systems which CAN enable our survivors to live, soon..
& we have to MAKE these systems rule OUR portion of this world, while they still can change the "avalanche" of consequences we've forced into pouring onto our world, this-century..
For future-generations' sake.
For our-grandchildren's sake.

Bible Gateway passage: Acts 2:44-47 - Complete Jewish Bible
All those trusting in Yeshua stayed together and had everything in common; in fact, they sold their property and possessions and distributed the proceeds to all who were in need. Continuing faithfully and with singleness of purpose to meet in the Temple courts daily, and breaking bread in their several homes, they shared their food in joy and simplicity of heart, praising God and having the respect of all the people. And day after day the Lord kept adding to them those who were being saved.
