NB : this closes the chapter on my previous toot on Darwinism and lack of zeitgeist.
The bottom line being that evolution takes thousands of years, and that applying and/or mixing politics with natural selection (artificial selection) is unscientific, precisely like eugenist movements who did exactly the same to their advantage this time, obviously.

Chomsky once talked about Lenin and how it hacked libertarians movements, and seized power. He described Leninism as "a right wing deviation of socialism".

Mainstream Marxists like Anton Pannekoek were discarded and forgotten. Here is one of his thoughts on Darwinism. Again Marxist's rhetoric is very confusing on how about the lumpenproletariat fits into all of this.

is there (or was there) any #mastodon instances based on Karl Marx's theories on #fediverse?
I would be interested in understanding better how they finance it, and how they manage social interactions in practice in 2024. Basically, I am searching for empirical evidences based on facts, not rhetorics. I am not anti-Marxist, just curious to understand how they manage what Marx and Engel called "lumpenproletariat".

Important : it is a genuine question.

Radical thinking, it often lacks nuances, and this is not intelligent to me. Marx and communism overshadowed many other socialist thinkers, such as William Morris, to name one. As a skilled craftman, he helped win acceptance of socialism in Great Britain. There are always alternatives to anger and violence.

Since communists are not ecologists, for sure, given the long series of ecological disasters in ex-USSR, maybe there should be a metrics like humancost or hcost for short.

What is the hcost for posting this toot?

I am very skeptical about Atheists and atheist ideas. Especially the reasons behind atheist ideas, as it makes it an ideology if used socially to subdue others, rather than a philosophy, a philosophy amongst many other philosophies. Many atheists online do not propose anything but critics which is interesting to an extent, but not fullfilling in terms of way of living in my humble opinion.

Darwin did not reject the Bible entirely.

"Darwin was quite orthodox and would quote the Bible as an authority on morality"

His scientific work has been used in the past by Eugenists to support biased ideas. His theory, because that's all it is in science, has many flaws (irreducible complexity). Sadly, science is used as a pseudo-religion, especially online, maybe to due to the lack of spirituality or group/community zeitgeist/sense.

Kali is a goddess...

God created atheists to her own image.

Do atheists believe in themselves actually #atheism

you have to believe at least in your self..

Shiva is both masculine and feminine so it is more complicated, not for atheists, too complicated..
