Marxism seems to be predicated on the assumption that history is driven by class struggle between oppressor and oppressed, and that somehow there needs to be a proletariat (the labouring class which does not own the means of production) to overthrow the bourgoisie (the class which owns the means of production and profits from the labour of the proletariat), take over, and somehow transition to the higher form of communism which is similar to what TVP advocates, in essence.<br /><br />TVP on the other hand seems to think we should do away with labour and the need for a labouring class entirely, bypassing the need for class struggle. (Of course, that assumes that those who profit most from the current system, at the expense of benefitting the greatest number, will simply let go of it, or that the system that supports them will simply collapse underneath them as it is dismantled... really?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6741330243979105436.post-76963859146992042352014-04-06T00:24:20.168-04:002014-04-06T00:24:20.168-04:00I find this post to be purely semantic in nature.
...I find this post to be purely semantic in nature.<br /><br />That is, what a word means to one person means something different to someone else, because our language is flawed and insufficient for our times.<br /><br />In looking at your other material, it seems to me that you actually support a large portion of the ideas of The Venus Project, and I would encourage you to learn about it further. It's pretty cool stuff :)William Hendricksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846692140188056191noreply@blogger.com
