I’m a Socialist that believes in Advaita Vedanta.

I’ve come to understand life and society through a foundational truth: beneath our diverse experiences, backgrounds, and roles, there’s an undeniable shared essence that ties us together. This understanding isn’t derived from mere philosophical musings, but from an intrinsic observation of the world and its workings.

For me, the idea of any individual being lesser or more based on arbitrary societal constructs contradicts this core essence. It’s not a matter of idealism; it’s about coherence and consistency. Given this, the glaring disparities in resources, power, and opportunities present in our society don’t just seem unjust—they seem illogical.

My belief is simple and grounded: if at our very core we all share a common thread, then fairness and equity aren’t lofty aspirations. They’re logical necessities. Our societal structures and systems should be designed to reflect this truth, ensuring that each individual’s worth is recognized and that opportunities are equitably distributed.

This is not about charity or temporary fixes. It’s about re-envisioning and realigning society in a manner that resonates with the profound truth of our shared essence.

Finally some honking on Norway

I was once a young kid living in an apartment that had the utilities shut off due to non payment. I didn’t understand why it was so cold or why I couldn’t get a drink of water.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for having integrity and compassion.

Many of the bravest and most impactful actions flow not from morals but instead grow from a place at our core where we finally acknowledge feeling dissatisfied.

Saying ‘No’ is a revolutionary act.

Fruit of their labour? Tell that to the factory worker earning pennies while the company’s stocks soar. How about those clocking in 70-hour weeks but can barely pay rent while some execs vacation on yachts? Question that disparity. Communism’s not taking from the hard-working; it’s about evening out those stark imbalances.

Leaders and workers? We need both, equally. Just because someone’s not in the spotlight doesn’t mean they’re not driving the show. And to think there’s a limited supply of those who ‘make things work’? Ever consider that not everyone gets the chance to lead?

A starving man shouldn’t have to ask for food in the first place. Instead of judging, maybe ask why they’re hungry. We shouldn’t pat ourselves on the back just because, once in a while, we toss someone a bone. Government’s size isn’t the issue; it’s about its priorities.

And the family bit? Good families don’t keep scorecards. They uplift, share, and stand together. They don’t always wait for someone to ‘earn their keep’. Why? Because they care. That’s not immaturity; it’s unity.

Equating leaving communism to outgrowing family? Sounds like someone’s confusing depth with adolescence.

Hot damn.

Makes me want to cross-stitch it on a tapestry & hang it on my wall.

Went out to an art exhibit for the first time in forever. The theme was labour rights and anti-fascist graffiti pieces.

Colonised American culture is ‘getting away with it’ and ‘get rich while getting away with it’.

It’s as much the person that buys an mlm style ‘build your own auto kit’ to ‘get away with’ having a car without having to pay a manufacturer for one, saving pennies in the meantime, as it is the mlm selling kits, knowing that parts are missing and the buyers won’t check.

It’s a grift on every level.

Were you able to migrate your posts, subs, and comments? I didn’t realise lemm.ee was, well, what it is when I first joined. (I just liked the look of the double letters.)

The popularity of chemically composed shampoo and the promotion of using it was an OG capitalist grift at the turn of the 20th century that just got out of hand.
