the only form of collective organisation that isn't toxic cult-driven bullshit is *some* churches. governments, institutions, many movements, are all artificial, coercive and manipulative of people. notably, this fawning over the multiply proven illogical and counterproductive policies recommended by Karl Marx and that Engels handler guy who was working with him to manufacture a false religion.
that's my view of this:
decentralised organisations composed of individuals who all follow the same rules both with each other and with outsiders. not a cult, with a constant aggressive hostility towards the shadow self of the cult's leaders.
there may be other organisations that aren't churches (and keep in mind i classify non-christian religious organisations, some of them are also similar, and have similar philosophies. certain jewish sects, certain muslims, certain buddhists, certain taoists... and other groups like the essenes, and the mandaean/sabians.
they are the only kinds of collectives i've seen that are not compatible with the mind control/brainwashing program of various types of socialism, and have successfully survived many attempts to be purged by the establishment powers, who are the robber barons that most marxists don't even realise they are actually the patsies for.
yeah, john d and mayer both.
the story is much more complex than the dumbed down, distilled marxist model. but communism is the modern garment of the cult of kings. the cult of kings are tyrants, not just leaders. just leaders are judges only. they are trusted because they are fair with everyone.
common law, equity, some aspects of Sharia, most of the rules in the bible (except bullshit like deuteronomy and numbers and other places with sharia-like rules about certain things. these are what actually stands opposite the socialist model for organising society.
the "anarchocapitalist" and "austrian economics" movements are the de-religionised version of the same rules within the scope of the laws of property and the multiply repeated warnings from not just christian, jewish, muslim, zoroastrian, sufi, etc etc systems, the buddhists have the same basic frameworks in their social organisation models too. Taoism especially, the whole Tao te Ching is basically trying to advise rulers to not interfere and control society, and that this is actually the root cause of all evil in society. exploitative, slaver tyrants.
you hate tyrants too, right? but you are confused and think i am a tyrant.
idk if there is any way to make that connection with you because you have accepted some false premises about all of this
property rights are absolute.
stolen property does not confer any rights to the holder of them. if they acquire wealth through fraud and deception, they are tyrants. the soft, smiling type that hypnotises you into a suggestible state with lies and mind tricks.
the thing that moderates the absoluteness of property rights, is that of respect.
everyone should indeed give what they can to help others.
being a scrooge is not respectful. this is why all of those religions i told you about, tend to encourage helping the poor, and expecting everyone to give a similar portion of their wealth to help raise the poor up higher.
the poor of this age, even in the worst places in the world, are practically at nobility level of comforts with our modern technology.
they got there by people making businesses that increased efficiencies so that more could benefit. capitalists, who consider that their bank balance is equally important as the health of their neighbours.
