Where do leftists expect workers to turn when Marxism becomes the most powerful religion of capitalism?
Doyle; I am reminded of the Chinese Cultural Revolution trying to deal with the duality of capitalist roaders in the socialist movement. To me, the production of knowledge is the heart of the debate. What unifies society? What are the tools that unify a great state? How do they work. Religion is fundamentally flawed in the sense of morality. It can't theorize a realistic scientific answer to intimate connection so it must dither around in metaphysics for some concrete answer to the cravings for emotional freedom. Socialism can offer ways to 'navigate' the ocean of feelings to free people to crave gay sex, changing roles when they want and a lot of other online community of interests activities not possible in the face to face world. In which turn that deeply influences the face to face world. Especially eroding religious methods which are not scientific in terms of networked properties of human connection. Doyle
