Is that neo-marxism or Jesus of Nazareth? That is an *Aspiration* and NOT anything near reality.

And that there not exists a single successful socialist state. -- The problem is that resurging judenhass in the world/UN has exposed the failures, immorality, and illogic of taking postmodernism too far. -- The only concern for postmodernists should be the distrust of corporations to own our information/data.

One of the best summary in the world!
Thank you so much for your support
As in the past, today and in the future, the ultimate purpose of a human being is to take care of each other.
Totally agree.

This can add incredible value to the conversation, really appreciate how you’ve highlighted “Socialism 2.0”.
