This is the logic of a bourgeois parasite who could never imagine themselves either cleaning a sewer or not using a sewer

gotta admit, there's a certain appeal to rotating unskilled sanitation duties through the other professions in a hypothetical socialist/syndicalist utopia

makes being a full-time sanitation worker a position of relative authority in the community while it gives people in even the most cloistered and sedentary professions a real appreciation for how society deals with the waste they reproduce.

in the absence of capitalism there's no artificial pressure for as many people as possible to work 40 hours every week, so people would actually have time to take care of their sanitation duties when their turn came too

someone I met at a local function told me that their mother was arrested for being an enemy of the people under section 56 when the Soviets took Bessarabia. She spent 14 years in a gulag because her husband owned a bunch of walmart style retail stores and was filthy rich. She was released and then had to move to a settlement city where she was given a flat to live.

look at this fool who wouldn't send every living walton to the gulags if he could

here's a long read on the Angolan anti-colonial struggle. Castro comes off quite well in this saga.

the cuban expeditionary force castro sent to angola to fight alongside the Angolan marxists in the final and climactic stage of the decades-long conflict apartheid South Aricans called the "Border War" is legit one of a handful of actually heroic uses of military force i'm familiar with

I'm doing the dissertation for my neuroscience degree atm and I'm pretty sure they haven't described any sort of neurological basis for consciousness in my course. From the stuff I've read (in neuroscience and philosophy of mind) it doesn't seem very clear that we even have a good definition for what consciousness is

why would you expect science to be able to understand or define consciousness

that's shamans' business

No offense but I think Dr Richard Pipes knows a bit more about history, what with being, you know, an actual, you know, historian.

i'm a historian too, and i'm going to take anything from the guy who wrote this

quote:

Bolshevism and Fascism were heresies of socialism.

and this

quote:

Aristotle argues, possessions enable men to rise to a higher ethical level by giving them the opportunity to be generous: ‘liberality consists in the use which is made of property’—an argument which would greatly appeal to Christian theologians of the Middle Ages. Aristotle’s preferred regime was one founded on a middle class, with an equitable distribution of assets.

you're getting your history of communism from a center-right fundamentalist with an axe to grind. i dearly hope pipes of all people is not your sole source on the subject
