Very well on not just calling all left socialism. Socialism is an ideology, which is the crystallization of a worldview. The underlying leftist worldview is something else, if I had to name it I’d say something like (blank-slate) egalitarianism The deontological vs consequencialist discussion was interesting, never heard that before
Thank you, and yes, I'd agree. One could add that there have been times and places where socialists were actually quite nationalistic, which sounds unreal today.
@ indeed, German unification comes to mind. But even nowadays it’s not totally outlandish: Kurdish nationalism has very strong Marxist tones and symbology , and even in Europe, several nationalist secessionist movements are lefty (Scotland, for example). If you accept requests, I would be curious to see you making a small video giving your opinion on deontology vs consequentialism both in left and right wing thinking. Also especially I would love to see you contrasting the underlining worldviews of right and left. Because while left is easily construed as an black slate egalitarian worldview, the right often refuses to define itself. Best I’ve seen in the subject is the late Jonathan Bowden, who defines a worldview standing for nature, asserting that inequality is natural and good because it is the source of differentiation that permits the existence of excellency, given the existence of freedom. Developing it further, I personally think there is another underlying idea in growing right wing thinking, the idea of a chain of being. That, unlike the blank slate that considers our existence to be totally independent from our bodies (metaphysical and thus equal), bodies to which one is “assigned” by pure coincidence. The chain of being doesn’t allow existence to be dissociated from ancestors. You are a continuation of your ancestors, and much/part of what defines you is inherited from them. This seems more congruent with biological reality - nature. Yet this all deviates from Christian ethos, so also many conservatives dislike it.
@@ViriatoII Yes, those are good examples that you mention. And I'm happy to take requests, thank you. Talking about the differing underlying world views of right and left might be too unwieldy a topic for a video, considering also that there are so many different types of right and left, divisible along both ideological and geographical lines, etc., but I enjoy reading your thoughts on the matter. Casting it as a conflict between conservatism and progressivism might work better. In any case, deontology vs. consequentialism is more manageable, so I'll definitely give it some thought.
Glorious lil video.
Thanks!
