Modern Day Slavery

that doesn’t seem to be the case, i don’t think replacing property with possession entails perfect distribution of wealth, just more perfect or more even. there could be no disproportionate accumulation of vast sums of wealth. there would still be some localities with more of this resource, and some localities with more of that resource, and they could barter, but no man could control thousands of localities the way some men do now, just the one he is presently occupying. i’m not saying the moment a man leaves his house, it’s up for grabs, no, but if he’s gone for several months, fuck it, it’s up for grabs, or if you’ve been living in one spot and paying rent for the past 2 years, fuck it, it’s yours, you and your neighbours should just get together and say, no, we’re not paying rent here anymore, “landlord”, we own this fucking place, we’ve payed enough rent to you. really, there should be no such thing as rent, once you’ve payed the cost of the place, it should be yours.

Right, there’s no such thing as state communism, or private/collective ownership of goods, it’s an oxymoron, like consensual rape or unfree equality. if everyone owns everything, that means, i own what stalin owns, i can walk into his house and use some of his stuff, and he can walk into my house and use some of my stuff, what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is yours, that’s communism, but state communism is, what’s stalin’s is stalin’s and what’s yours is stalin’s. total fucking bullshit, and so called democratic socialism, isn’t much better, the state still fundamentally controls everything, and the state doesn’t care about the voters, it cares about profits. if we want a true communist or possessionist revolution, the state must be abolished all at once, or gradually by ignoring it’s capitalist/fascist laws. don’t pay your taxes to the state, steal from the ultra wealthy and tell your friends to do the same, and the state will wither away.

remember, i’m not talking about communism (everyone owns everything), although anarcho-communism is ok, better than statism, i’m talking about possessionism (what you possess, that is, what is in your hands, what you’re sitting on is yours, what’s in nobodies hands, what nobodies sitting on is up for grabs.

i don’t like the idea of a moderator, the workers should democratically make decisions, not elect a moderator to make decisions on their behalf, but then, i suppose possessionism could manifest differently in different places, depending on the needs of the workers.

Yeah, i hate masons, i’d like to tie a 32nd or 33rd degree mason down to a fucking chair and torture the bastard, 'till he confessed all his dirty secrets on tape, then end his life. if you have it in your heart to be a terroist, please, blow up a masonic lodge instead of a mall or school.

I would think that the original intention of morality and ethics were just in so far as supplying a means for people to see by way of things other than direct experience what might be most likely to lead to problems for the average Joe…

that seems to simply suggest that one might have a differing view as to what the value of things are. The question is how does one assert that being in position of a thing is “payment enough”, or whatever it would be called? One could say that wealth is merely a representation of possession and that rather it has come such that many are not holding as much representation of possession as is legitimately accurate with respect to what they should have or are entitled to.

I would not advise steeling, such is not necessary. one might rather retrieve what has been taken from them. Or rather you can let them take everything get fat and die (metaphorically and perhaps not ) It is likewise not so wise i would think to take for the self so much as for the community. In other words Robin hood style. And ultimately such is dangerous as it can lead to increase of totalitarianism such as to combat that. Though such might have the tendency to only lead to more people joining the other side…away from the totalitarianism… I think that rather than considering them as steeling from you one might rather consider it as a form of oppression, that is thus justly combated by what means are best, though i would think there are other means then steeling. (if you are steeling that would seem to be a word most justly defined as taking what another rightfully ‘possesses’?)

Then your freedom to do such would technically be up for grabs? I would think there would have to be some form of limitation, for example a person could not take what was in another persons store. but then that requires defining a stare as in the possesion of a person. And then if that person was not there what would keep that store from being taken or destroyed or stolen from? It would seem that there needs to be some idea of respect for what tothers rightfully posses in so far as it is needed for their survival, otherwise chaos would ensue it would seem.

I imagine it would be nice if the people could completely group act without mobbing, but it would seem some form at this current state of moralism is required to prevent such. likewise what would plausibly occur is that the people might group decide to have a monarch or some form of moderator… as such it would seem that the evolutionary psychology of the mob lends plausibly to evolution of such systems as we have now. given chance that such a decision is arrived at, it would be likewise plausible that things could result in problems. i think it is valuable to have a form of moderator but with limited capacity to be influenced or to over control…that was the original intention of democracy but it would seem that it may need improvement. Perhaps the question is how could some form of moderation or at least prevention of ignorant mobbing be arrived at?

i think morality and ethics originate organically as people arrange their behavior in ways to correspond and compliment the behavior of others, or in ways that are useful to them. it is only later in the process that morals and ethics can start to be manipulated by those in authority (churches, governments, marketeers). that’s also when threats of punishment or retribution start to come into play. you are right that it is a form of conformity to behave in ways considered moral or ethical, but conformity is really a neutral thing in and of itself - i mean, you wear clothes right? does that mean you don’t think for yourself?

everybody has a moral or ethical sense - the belief that there is anything desirable in thinking for oneself is a moral one in a sense - the point would be to avoid dogma, not to avoid ethical behavior altogether. sometimes it’s useful just to behave in normal, accepted ways.
