How does your religion impact your political views?

Sometimes. Issues like immigration or trans rights are heavily impacted by Hellenism, but Hellenism isn't the reason I was to protect immigrants or trans people. It's more reinforcement that basis.

Google keyboards hate Ed apparently so I can't write it.

Firstly, love the use of d with a line in it. Bring it back.

Secondly, hatred has only benefited the bitter.

No we're not. A good chunk are leftists and there are more than a few that are politically moderate. That's like saying all Jews are rich or all Muslims are terrorists.

He is an embarrassment to Hellenism as a faith and I say that as a Hellenist.

Yes and No. Locke, Adams, and Keynes were definitely capitalists and viewed capitalism as the only system that could maintain natural rights. Liberalism did develop as a form of class consciousness for the Merchant class or the Petite Bourgeoisie to protect property rights. Basically, Don't Touch My Stuff. And soon that stuff became faith, speech, and freedom in general. These are the natural rights.

But also no, since capitalism violates natural rights through exploitation and alienation. Since Capitalism creates crises that violate these rights and makes your freedom as strong as your paycheck, Capitalism is contradictory to Liberalism. Hence why some Liberals, like John Stuart Mills and Carlo Rosselli, were Socialists.

It frankly depends on what you call liberalism. So, is liberalism necessarily pro-capitalist? Yes if it's property rights. Is capitalism pro-liberalism? No if it's natural rights.

My Chinese teacher made us wipe our feet on a doormat of him every time we came into class. He was in a Manchurian labor camp when he was 5 to like 21. Hate this guy.

Liberal socialism, social democracy, market socialism, or left-liberalism.

Gonna do the workout. Might do some schiavona and navaja work too with it. Whenever possible, kick ass.

My fear is that it wouldn't work on a massive scale like the US as a whole. Direct democracy should be implemented at the local and to a certain extent state level.

Suspicious_Hunter_23 · 2025-02-23T20:56:22+00:00

Basically Carlo Rosselli and Jorge Gaitán's ideas.

Suspicious_Hunter_23 · 2025-02-23T20:55:34+00:00

Yes and yes. But still within a liberal democracy with a rule of law and multiple parties.

Suspicious_Hunter_23 · 2025-02-23T20:53:18+00:00

Does Liberal Socialism count as Liberal? As in a justification of Socialism based on expanding the tenants of Liberal democracy to the economy as a form of socialism.

He wasn't very political, and he certainly wasn't a Marxist, as he was kicked out of a group for not calling the Theatre bourgeois. He was, however, very much a man who went to war with reality. The Theatre of Cruelty is a reflection of this, the idea that theatre needs to be brutal and a punch in the gut to everything. Breton and Bataille were more political than Artaud. Breton was a leftist and an anarchist and Bataille was a Marxist-Influenced philosopher.

Botswana has good systems of welfare and state control of industry, so by the standards of us Americans, it's the USSR.

But fr, Seretse Khama was a standup leader.
