"if they consider it worse than the holocaust really". And that has been claimed numerous times. And they do insist on having it on par with murder morally.
I specifically said: "If I knew these things were going on in my country". I am aware we don't really give that much of a crap about people in far away places.
Riiiiight.
And you also didn't read my post very well.
So to refer to the most discussed alternative - electronic cars - I take it the expensiveness of those, their short range of operation, the long time it takes to recharge them and the short life-expectancy of the batteries all are not relevant? Or perhaps those are all lies facilitated by you know who?
Now you may disagree with my reasoning all day long, but you can't disagree that "the biggest atrocity in the history of mankind" is a little more severe than a homocide.
I am not saying they are holding others to standards they do not keep themselves. I am also not saying that because of a personal flaw they have they are wrong. So I'm neither accusing them of hypocrisy nor am I using an ad hominem.hypocrisy, ad hominen at it's best..
Nope. I already knew that.
But they are adamant about it. I often addressed them on their usage and their reasoning is, sure legally it isn't murder, but morally it is equivalent to it.
After I have just been accused of calling people hypocrites and saying their stupid thus their argument is invalid, I would dearly love to say you're spot on. But I'm afraid I keep failing at getting my point across
Do you actually know what the term "ad hominem" means? (You certainly can't spell it.)hypocrisy, ad hominen at it's best..
Well, long story short, it's because I think that we're have arrived or will soon arrive at a point in time where communism becomes a material necessity, and I don't think that the logic of "rights" is capable of articulating the emancipatory impulse in its communist form.
Classic pro-choice people are usually not involved in abortion clinics.
With all due respect, but communists have been thinking that for more than a century.
Does anyone have any clever insight as to the coming interplay between the LGBT community and adoption/the abortion debate now that society is slowing swinging towards accepting their marriages and families? It would seem to me that at least male gay marriages and Christian pro-lifers share a common interest in promoting adoption as an alternative to abortion. Lesbians might be somewhat less inclined to care since there are sperm banks and they have, well, a uterus(2 of em!). Do you think they'll ever be pragmatic enough to co-operate for what they would deem the common good? The hubris on both sides seems pretty strong right now.
Yes, they have, but very few of those communists understood communism in the same way I do, so the analogy is only a very loose one.
They said that too
I was going to drop it after my last comment, but again, I am talking specifically about those who aim to make abortion as cruel and gruesome as possible. It in no way reflects my thoughts on most pro-lifers, just that select group. You for instance do not even come close.
Clever angle. Curious about responses to this. (Hesitant to respond myself, since I've been accused enough already today
)
I dunno, I'm mostly working from the perspective of communisation theory, and that's very much a recent tendency of Marxist thought. It comes primarily out of the "post-68" French ultra-left, Italian autonomism, post-war left-communism (Socialisme ou Barbarie, Situationism, etc.) and certain anarchisms. It originally developed as a reaction to the collapse of social democracy and the Soviet Union, which I think makes it qualitatively different to all preceding communisms, which were located either in the "pre-classical", "classical" or "social democratic" periods of the working class movement and so possessed a more limited historical perspective.They said that too

tl;dr: Shush, you!
The last post was only joking anyway, hence the smiley. But thanks for putting your position into perspective anyways.
