Good commie and Bad commie 2

Basically, a good commie is simply someone who wishes that all people will attain peace.

But he does not try to control others in order to attain that goal, as that is against the idea of giving peace to all people.

For the same reason, it is one who meditates on:

A bad commie chastises others, and in the process, he destroys the very foundation on which he built the notion of communism.

It is said that the idea that the nature of man is egoism is to say that the nature of a factory worker is to cough, and that it is only a problem of capitalism. However, they forget the fact that it is the nature of nature of man to be capitalist, and not the nature of something else.

To explain this paradox, the bad commie simply dehumanizes the capitalist by saying he is not a man, but is a demon. So they bring in superstitions to make these claims.

(I guess communism is not about peace for all, but about peace for all those who believe in the Labour Theory of Value. But LTV is not a useful metric, because simply because if you move stones from one area to another and move them back, you'd perform a lot of labour, but there won't be enough value in it.

Marx did state that only socially necessary labour time would be counted. But again, even though one can calculate socially necessary time, the time doesn't equate to effort, and the effort doesn't equate to value. Marx defined it as skilled labour. But the nature of skilled labour is such that we cannot quantify it. For this reason, LTV cannot work.

I had pointed out an example to my dad about the case of fishermen vs fish merchants to point that the price charged by fish merchants is fair, because society agreed on it, and no one wanted to sell at a cheaper price. It could be argued that a fish merchant could choose ethics over practicality, but unless everyone chooses ethics, he would be at a loss. And one can only make everyone choose ethics by force, and what is chosen by force would neither be ethics, nor lead to peace.

But if one can detach enough from society, then they can choose to reduce the profits and only sell for what the fisherman charged + the effort he put in to sell it + a minimal profit, while avoiding net loss. Still, this is only correct if the fishermen too are only selling at the price of the effort they out in + minimal profit. Otherwise he would be obtaining less profit per unit effort. Normally, one should be maximizing profits per unit effort. And ethically, he must have a fixed value to define profit per unit effort. But reality is such that all unit effort does not have equal value to buyers. The value is only defined by the customers, at average, and any purely intellectual means to determine that value will fail simply because it cannot take into account the diversity of people and their needs.

Practically, if fish merchants are all selling at outrageous prices, the fishermen should stop giving them fish, or become sellers instead. But since people are tied to their professions, that's what causes the problem. The problem here is dependance, but even though a particular fish seller may realize that selling is easier than catching, he may find satisfaction in fishing enough to live with the lower monetary gains.

Ultimately, the thing is that value should not be obtained from price alone, but also from personal satisfaction.)

A good commie recognizes that it is in all people's nature to be evil on some level due to ignorance, and so he himself emulates the ideal personas in his view, and makes himself as an example that others can follow, instead of controlling them.

Therefore, a good commie is a Hindu. Jesus is another example. But Christians are not, as Christianity is not based on emulating him, but on having faith alone.

(The difference this has with the Abrahamic way is that while they say that man is made in the image of God, which is a meaningless statement under their view, Hindus say that man is a reflection of the light of God on their thoughts. Therefore, by purifying one's thoughts, he becomes closer to being an image of God.

I stated this because while this is a very simple idea, since the Abrahamic religion rules the world, those who know it view every other religion through their lens, and in the absence of opposing arguments, they'd claim that they disproved them, and that would be enough for the bad commie. In other words, the bad commie would ally with their strong adversaries to get rid of weaker people who aren't even fighting them and mind their own business, simply because they don't follow the same beliefs, and then think that the more non-commies they get rid of, the better.)
