christianity is cool! the messiah is not going to save the world, is in fact dead, and your faith should now lie with the community of believers who are enacting the kingdom of heaven on earth. "the kingdom of heaven" is another way of saying "the dictatorship of the proletariat".

What are some good books to feature Space Communism?

It's pretty funny to think about how many great works of sci-fi feature the most awesome imaginable power, the ability to go faster than light and therefore reverse causality itself, while sticking to existing understandings of property relations.

Here's my hot take: it's weird to be biased against people based on melanin content, or, well, anything, actually

Unfortunately, it's really not weird at all. Most humans have deeply ingrained biases based on tribal remnants.

One of the things i like about socialism is it's ability to bring people under a more inclusive caste. Almost everyone has to work for a living!

Prejudive, in any form, is still the norm in most of the world. Just because it has become taboo to be openly bigoted doesn't mean it's gone. The developed west is just a bit better at smoldering the coals.

Sure, it's not good, but atleast presently, it's a fact of life and the norm for most people.

I guess what I'm saying is it's starting to bother me how apparently the only Marxists I've ever met online or in real life who don't immediately treat everyone else as The Enemy (unless they're a minimum wage worker or a union member) is old commune hippies. And those guys are weirdos

I wanted to get back to this statement because I think it's worth addressing, and I wanted to organize my thoughts because you deserve a decent response. I don't think we disagree on this all that much. Rather, I feel like we have been talking past each other. I agree with you that people who care about radical politics tend to be on attack.

I think this is based on selection biased. People who reject the status quo whether they are socialists, fascists, fundamentalists tend to care more about politics than the average liberal or conservative. Which leads said radicals to lash out at perceived enemies more often and more emotionally. After all, capitalism is the dominating economic system of modern society, so people happy (or secure) with it won't be thinking about changing it. The recent rise of radical politics (Or even politics that are more moderate rejections of the current establishment such as social democracy and libertarianism) is damning evidence that society is apparently failing an ever growing group of people. (Though their perceptions of the problem may be warped.

My primary argument was that humans as a species are naturally predisposed to in-group out-group thinking.Which, while not a good thing, is embedded in our psyche. You seem to have experienced this phenomena with Marxists in real life. Marxist's are people after all. I'm arguing that the left shouldn't be blind to this tribalism tenancy, because the right certainly isn't. (Ex: Movement conservative, the symbolism of the fasces.) The far-right is picking up steam and building a mass-movement that liberals just can't cope with. As recent political developments have shown, at least to me. It's up to the left to bind people to a more noble goal in order to create a better world.

I'm not arguing that I'm above this btw. I have my share of prejudices, (A faith healer essentially killed my Aunt, and now I want the whole practice to be criminalized) but I try to contextualize them and understand my biases in as much objectivity as I can. Rather I'm arguing that it's weird to have no prejudice. For every Fred Rogers there are a hundred Fred Phelps. I hope that will change one day, but we shouldn't be blind to today's prejudice.

In a world where the status quo is cracking apart, people are now looking for a new tribe to bond to. Now obviously, you and me agree that hating people isn't good, which is why I would rather we be bound in a left-wing tribe rather than a right-wing one. Not everyone can be a white male christian, but almost everyone can work for a living, and the fraction who can't are still fundamentally human, and deserving of life, security, and fulfillment. At least in my view, that's what being a lefty is about.

Now, I am not well read on the academics of Marx, nor any other leftist thinker. So this explanation is based on my observations and perceptions of modern politics. If this was covered before by some philosopher than you can feel free to point this out to me.

im not sure criminalizing faith healing is, like, a prejudice? you're taking issue with the actual practice of faith healing

I don't know, I despise faith healers though. I will pre-judge every faith healer I meet without exceptions. I like to think my prejudice is based on something objectively bad, but most likely so did Hitler. This is why I mentioned the importance contextualizing my prejudices. Were I to have absolute power. I would ban and forbid the practice of faith healing, but I wouldn't send faith healers into death camps.

so sort of what i want to challenge is your assumption of the 'naturalism' of tribalism - in what sense do you mean it is 'natural'? because that's a funny little word that can be used in different ways. do you mean 'natural' as in 'biological' (or, more technically, essentialist) or 'natural' as in easy? because i'd disagree with the former but agree with the later. obviously there still a lot of prejudice today, across all generations, and its not going to go away any time soon. but i don't think that's sufficient grounds for declaring it essentialist, and i think there's a good reason to declare it can't be - the boundaries of prejudice are always moving and don't really make much sense, unless you assume it's all just a product of inertia

The Latter. Natural as in the human psyche often finds it easier to use in-group out-group thinking.
