Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

[BorisTheSpider]

I now think that socialism necessitates totalitarianism, because embedded in the philosophy is means of production for the communal need.

I think it's more fundamental than that even - embedded in socialism is the idea of people as a group; "society", but as someone once said, there's no such thing as society - there are individuals, and respect for the individual is at the root of the right to own stuff.

I would say that society does exist, but I understand the point. It's basically saying that society is an abstraction, while the individual is real. Which is true

Meh, if we want to play this game, the individual is an abstraction too.

Society is real unless we want to go down some lame post modernist track wherein nothing can really be known to be real. And to that, I say, get fucked.

The point is that you can touch an individual but you can't touch society.
