To a happier , more fair and equal future !

For starters: We both appear to be radically anti-capitalist, and propose a future (with a transitionary stage) toward an international, one-world communistic society free of money, classes, discrimination, oppression, involuntary labour and exploitation where humanity is at last free to truly express itself in any way it can imagine. Many Marxists historically and currently have believed Capitalism will grind to a halt on its own, riven with its own internal contradictions. This is somewhat a minority view within the Marxist movement however.

We believe in the essential dynamics of class struggle; which I believe you disavow. I'm interested, how do you presume the end of capitalism? How do you think it will topple exactly, without the subjective agency of the working class? And why the incredibly specific retro-futuristic blueprints? They seem tied to a particular past in my view. Truth is, I don't think we can know what the future society would (or should) be like, but we can certainly say what it ought NOT be.

Hello Zeitgeisters, I come in peace. I have read some preliminary reports on your ideas - I can;t really be bothered to watch the Zeitgeist films as I found the first one a bit tedious - but what do you believe in? I'm a Marxist from the #communism group, and from all I've read, our movements seem to be incredibly similar. I'm even interested to see if there could perhaps be a theoretical fusion of our ideas.

At any rate, i'd love it if one of you could expound your beliefs in detail for me, and show me where the movement claims to differ from socialism/communism (I watched one video claiming it did, but couldn't really see how beyond a few marginal differences).

Thanks for Accepting my request

hooray i am glad that i have this group!

What I've always wanted every time I make a birthday wish, is for everyone on the planet to be happy and treated as equals. I know now that such a wish can only be achieved through a resource based economy. Where everyone gets what they need for free. That deminishes crimes and social abuse. I'm 24 and I expect a significant change in our society within a matter of 3-5 years at most.

I am glad to see this group here on DevArt too! ^___^ There should be many more people joining this group soon.
