I don't believe in the wider human collective, nor do I care for it. This is partly why I care about regional rather than national or global.
What about planification? In a society where there is no focus on the global collective and only the local one, how do you make sure there won't be any fight over ressources on a more regional and global scale or that the needs of one community does not disrupts the needs of all?
No. Modern day is proof that accountability does not exist.
Within capitalism, yes. Interests relatives to dominations and capitals run high and dictate the behaviors of the individuals, but lets say that you get rid of all dominations and capitalist interests, wouldn't you agree that a huge group of people can create something collectively?
After all, we have virtual examples and we had examples of successfull attempts in catalogna.
@Logiko would you support Morocco invading Ceuta
Morocco is a colonial state, so, no.
The utopians who believe we are all one people do not understand that the majority of the people they wish to 'unify' with would probably rather stab them dead. It is what it is.
The problem I believe is that you are confusing the prospect of a paradize that we are proposing, with the old aged notion of "utopia". Even tho I uses that term as a manner of speech, it stills holds an idealist meaning in the sense that it is meant to describe something that is "non realistic, something irrational, out of the bound of human possibility".
But as I explained in the last few pages. Capitalism actually tricked you into thinking that our proposals were idealistic when in reality, it is the complete opposite.
We are materialists. (
for the most part at least)
This means that when we imagine a better world, we are not simply projecting our desire. We are observing the real material conditions of oscieties and individuals on the planets and we create a system based on this materialist knowledge (
usually scientific).
Capitalism made people think that materialists and marxists were actually utopian naive dreamers when... it's actually the opposite. From our point of view,
WE are the realists and idealists (
capitalist, liberals, people who don't reason through systemism, libertarians, meritocrats, fascists etc.) ARE the naive dreamers.
I think it's a fundament notion to get into perspective. materialists are not naive about the human's will, we are the ones who observe reality, nature and socialities, how these systems are influenced by other environments... and we create systems based on these observations.
