Obviously, I’m not gonna lose any sleep over a Tesla factory being burnt down, but isn’t this just adventurism? It’ll accomplish literally nothing but turn the popular opinion (even further) against communists and give the bourgeois state yet another excuse to crack down on leftist activity

the kantian view of morality is that an action is correct if everyone could do it and it would lead to a better world

so, stealing is wrong because if everyone stole shit would suck, but picking up trash is right because if everyone did it there would be no litter

if we extend that logic to lighting elon musk’s factories on fire,

Kinda feels like a loophole if you can just specify an exact scenario where it never affects the wrong people, idk but if I was making a system of morality it seems weird that people could escape arson being bad by saying “I only mean arson against bad people”, I’d probably have to revise that if I were Kant and this is how his morality works.

Edit: Didnt Kant have like an example where you have a duty to never lie for moral reasons even if the specific situation would outweigh the negativity of lying with the positive effect of the lie?

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
