This is a dumb idea I came up with when I was high and drunk last night (it will totally change everything man). I’m 100% sure it’s original and no one has thought of this before. Let’s get that tax-exempt status; if those dumbass libertarian satanists can accomplish it then so can we.
I’m sure there’s plenty of reasons why this is a bad idea so go ahead and roast me in the comments.
You gotta do a spiritual practice where all of the bad tendencies that have been co opted in the histories of the world religion are explicitly taboo, and the whole thing can be boiled down to a simple communal maxim, like “from each, to each.” It’s hard to imagine getting people to detox from neolib brain worms en masse without inventing something simple that people could believe in the abstract. Giving everyone so much education and forced self-reflection that they can catch a glimpse of how capitalism is eating us is just too much for most people I think, realistically. There has never been such a society, as far as I’m aware, where things went swimmingly because everyone was hyperaware of the material reality of politics.
