@ConceptualJames There's nothing about communism that suggests it must be "hermetic" or "gnostic," and "materialist" is a word that requires you to define your terms, but is likely outright false.
@ConceptualJames Original Christianity is likely the foremost example of communism to emerge from post-indigenous Eurasia, and they preached a return to Nature while emphasizing an abandonment of property and marriage in favor of community.
@ConceptualJames The Adamites, for example, lived on nudist beach colonies and procreated freely while eschewing the marriage tradition. Hardly "materialistic."

@leedrutman In parliaments, one votes for a party, not a person, and that process is robustly funded by the state, so yeah. In the United States, so-called representatives are reduced to commodities, and our politics are reduced to a trading floor.
@leedrutman Real democracy is almost always manifest in indigenous cultures, tho the Classical Athenians qualify as the only example of a real *aspiring* democracy to have emerged from post-indigenous Eurasia. They were nearly there before the Macedonians co-opted them.
@leedrutman Classical Athens also catalyzed the first examples of communism to emerge from post-indigenous Eurasia. Aristotle records mention of it, and the Classical Cynics were essentially wandering ascetics who preached a return to Nature.

I have to say, #NoSocialMediaSundays are positively relaxing, but I was unnerved by how often I habitually grab this device and allow it to dictate my actions.
#NoSocialMediaSundays have nothing to do with the self-imposition of a guilt complex; rather, we're more interested in liberation here at @optimist_press.
The unconcious and compulsive impulse to engage with these devices and programs is what Classical Athenians would qualify as a form of servitude or slavery to our animal selves, the "'lizard brain," the base instincts.

@CJRobichaud @conor64 A real philosopher's take on a bunch overpaid windbags who verbally blow each other for affirmation.
@CJRobichaud @conor64 Diogenes says, "Stop writing shit stories about shit subjects."

If people in Chicago are less concerned about debating "critical race theory," it's because our fucking children are dying.
And if you push me some bullshit about "getting tough on crime," I will verbally slap you upside the head so hard, you won't remember your fucking name.
A benumbing sound that plays in the background of life. It's been there always. I hid it in the floorboards, suffocated it with insulation and alcohol just to cope with the insanity of growing up in and stubbornly refusing to abandon this war zone, my childhood home.

This is one of those moments when the status quo and pop culture attempts to catch up to the Left right before we use them kindly.
By the way, if you're interested in Aphex Twin's [arguably] most important piece, it's not "Avril 14th." It's "Boy/Girl Song."

"Come to Daddy" is also [arguably] among Richard D. James' most popular tracks. Just sayin, @nytimes is full of Liberal posers.
