  • So you say that there are no “non-authoritarian” communists. I guess I take a slight issue with this. Just because a lot of historical communist states have become one party dictatorships doesn’t mean that all of them have to be. I don’t see why you couldn’t have a communist state with democratic values, separation of powers, and plurality. Even if you believe that the state is the sole authority and does have authority to do things, it doesn’t mean it can’t have a concept of inalienable or unenumerated rights which the state can’t take away.

    Sure you can say that the working class has authority in a communist state. But that’s somewhat of a transitory period isn’t it? Eventually that society over time becomes classless, and then everyone must be represented to avoid autocracy.







  • So I also agree that monarchs are pretty stupid. I don’t think the guy is perfect. But at the same time, if you happened to be born with a name/family that got you media attention, wouldn’t you want to use it to better the world? I don’t know much about this guy in particular, so it’s quite possible he is bad in other ways. But the way I see it’s not different than a kardashian raising awareness for something good. Should there opinion matter more than other people? No. Do i not fully understand the physiology of the people that watch celebrities lives with rapture? Yes. But are the people inherently bad? No.
