>>24513502 (OP)Of the two powers that raised a meaningful challenge to the hegemony of their era >communism was the power that owed a strand of its existence to the same forces that created that hegemony (the Jews)
>communism was the power that conceded to the hegemony by helping it beat the heckin' evil and problematic Nazis>communism was the power that owed everything it managed to achieve to forces outside of its doing, its consideration or its desire and in the aftermath of being defeated in the soviet era, exists today only as what it always was: a set of ideals innately incompatible with vitality, with spiritual accord, with philosophical inquiry and even with the idea of a shared reality in itselfHorseshoe theorists (lmao) will stop at the idea that both are heckin' undemocratic and lost because nothing says consistency like simultaneously valuing freedom over everything and strength over values. There is absolutely no equality in how they lost and why they cannot re-emerge from our current paradigm. Communism is BTFO'd in large part by the fact it ever existed and what it did with its only chance at life.
