Re: Orlando:Nous avons tous assez de force pour supporter les maux d’autri
Marxism as preached by Marx may be true anarchism, but as a practical matter it cannot be implemented without rigid controls over individuals. And also as a practical matter there are no shortage of people who enjoy inflicting such rigid control on individuals. And so the nearest that it has ever been approached is in monastic communities where people are driven by and committed to a purpose beyond either themselves or their community.
Most misunderstood/not taught/never read/who-cares-about fact on communism:
Withering away of the state is a concept of Marxism, coined by Friedrich Engels, and referring to the idea that, with realization of the ideals of socialism, the social institution of a state will eventually become obsolete and disappear, as the society will be able to govern itself without the state and its coercive enforcement of the law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withering … _the_state
In the list of human universals { http://www.mindmelding.com/Human%20Universals.htm }are:
redress of wrongs
resistance to abuse of power, to dominance
This is settled, has always been settled, and will always be settled by a sovereign, and under the principle of the Rule of Law, a sovereign state is a politically organized body of people under a single sovereign. It is that abolition of "coercive enforcement of the law" (i.e, Rule of Law) that, in fact, seeks to achieve dominance of some over others without the rule of law; and, of course, that's oriental despotism. Aristotle asserted the irony of such despotism in that it is not based on force but rather on consent, but also of the consent of slave to master.
Two major (oriental) despotic peoples: Muscovy/Russian Empire/U.S.S.R. and Empire/People's Republic of China. Wow! Weird how they shoved through Engels' stateless societies through the ideals of socialism.
