I did not realize he was this divisive.

lol, such is the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie

I think it’s fine. People are diverse and idealistic. IMO it’s equally important as a ML to be able to understand and critique these ideas.

In this way, sometimes conservatives can take on leftist positions, or it’s how leftist positions are appropriated by the right.

But usually when they take these positions, it’s to dismantle government power in favour of power concentrated in corporations (or in the case of homeschooling, religious institutions), which is arguably an even greater concentration because there are even less restrictions as to what those other institutions are capable of.

When you do an analysis, you have to consider what institutions are in place to replace government institutions, if any.

Technically there are standards that are on par for homeschoolers, but a lot of people who homeschool as an excuse to not school their kids just don’t follow them. There’s no enforcement.

Also, educational standards are really lax. When you push kids, they can easily exceed those standards.

Concentration vs diversification of political power is the original definition of left vs right, as it originated in the French Revolution.

Bourgeois class reproduction wouldn’t happen if the children actually saw their parents schedule their lives around going to work and earning money.

Kids understand that people exchange labour for money because they see what their parents do. Hence, they gain an understanding of class. How do you perpetuate an alternative narrative? You separate them from an environment where people are shown to be working. You show them that money is not gained through labour, but rather it just appears when you are able to adhere to an ideal.

The dialectic between the base and the superstructure works on a personal level as well as a societal level.

Oh, for sure. Homeschooling is not great because kids don’t socialize when homeschooled.

I meant that parents should have a right to care for their children, but shouldn’t have an exclusive right to educate their kids.

Left vs right is the diversification of political power vs the concentration of political power. Alienating children from society reduces their class consciousness and has them delegate decision making more towards authority figures, which is more rightist.

Boil water. I understand why, because they didn’t have well developed public works 30 years ago, but that’s changed now. Similarly, there’s also this culture around drinking hot water and a general tendency to avoid cold things.

Also a lot of older people like to use steamers to reheat food. They aren’t used to using microwaves. Not really funny though, because it does make some food more tasty and I started doing that.

It alienates children from society.

When children grow up with parents, they are able to observe the world and society through their parents. Children are always observing and learning even when you’re not directly teaching them. When they see their parents go to work and interact with others, they learn that.

When you alienate children from that environment, like the bourgeois private schools in the UK, they are removed from the means of production and thus is more able to accept contradictions between the classes. This is detrimental for a socialist society, where class struggle is intensified after a revolution.

On the parents side, it removes them from parenting. It’s not a question of whether or not they have the right to children, but rather a question of whether or not they understand what goes into taking care of children. Knowledge comes from practice. When you remove the practice, you remove the knowledge.

This knowledge is absolutely crucial because the proletariat has political power, and they need knowledge to make correct decisions.

Lastly, Bukharin was a rightist. He was part of the faction that looked to sabotage the Soviet Union, and was executed for doing so.

I think that his execution should be viewed as a part of the dismantling of the revolutionary vanguard by Kruschev.

Regardless of whether he was a sex pest, the entire movement of destalinization should be viewed as a shift towards liberalism.

As in, he was executed as part of a power grab. Not because of his alleged deviancy.

Bukharin was a rightist, because he suggested that children should be separated from their families to be raised by the state.

Definitely.

Worse case scenario, I have to limit the scope of repairs, like I did here.

It’s not purely for the perp but also for the victim and bystanders, in that they understand this behaviour is not acceptable.

I guess that’s valid. I don’t watch tv, so I can only gather generalities from trends.

People enjoy what they relate to

Bummer. But such is American education

If it’s a PowerPoint presentation, you can include the douyin videos

In my opinion, all work is, to some degree, enslaving yourself. However, when you work and produce value, you also gain knowledge. Not just about work, but also the environment and the industry. You become more connected with the world around you.

I think that if you are able to graduate and become employed, then your mental health would improve greatly.

It’s simple. Build up the Palestinian state.

Security assurance against Israeli incursion, and for sovereign borders. Investment into Palestinian owned infrastructure.

Zionism is the concentration of political power in Palestine to Jewish colonizers. Its antithesis is political power belonging to Palestinians.

The thing that zionists fear the most is becoming Palestinian

No such thing as normal.

What you essentially have to do is gaslight people into thinking whatever you are is normal.
