    You sound like a Gnostic that believes that they are having a personal battle with the Demiurge. There are the rules of “spirit” also known as common sense that confine what nature can be. However the rules of matter often discover that the world is stranger than our cultural ancestors presumed and we should update our understanding accordingly. A more accurate understanding helps one understand why something exists. Knowing why something exists can tell you how to make something not exist. This applies to living things, people, societal concepts and all other things. To give up on the concept of understanding is to relinquish one’s power to those that want to keep power. It is the common sense of the spirit that fights understanding that truly limits ones power and freedom more than the limits of matter.

      I’m always impressed by the knowledge and academic type responses you “communists” respond with.

      I’m just a loner stoner that’s been lost in though for nearly 2 decades and most the stuff people say goes over my head., lol.

        TLDR

        Its good to learn things. Its good to apply oneself in earnest to the universe to see where they are wrong in practical tests. Both success and failure teach you how the world works. Its better than presuming there is nothing to learn and nothing will ever change.

        Perhaps your comprehension skills will improve if you lay off the pot.

          Because it’s such a misused word in politics these days. As well as not having a full understanding of actual communism.

            you got raked with the downvotes earlier but i think this is a based mindset you have. you seem confident in what you do know and don’t mind admitting what you don’t. i think you should try and foster your curiosity further. if you really wanted to know what commies think you can learn. it’s not a skill or an intellectual issue, it’s just about being curious enough.

              No not lemmygrad in particular. You guys are on top of your game.

              I don’t really have much understanding of any politics.

                You should stick around and learn, we’re always open to educating those who don’t understand. It won’t hurt, if anything it’ll improve your understanding of the world around you so 💁🏿‍♂️
