    Where does it say it has to be an individual? “Workers” could be the messiah

    Also, no you don’t “empathise with the capitalist” don’t lie to yourselves

      Lmao no. Not how messiah narratives work lad. Messiahs are heroic individuals. Stories about groups overcoming oppression are called revolutions or rebellions. Read a fucking book, mate.

      you don’t “empathise with the capitalist” don’t lie to yourselves

      Yes, yes I do. Because I know if I were in that position, I’d feel pretty damn awful about it. It’s hard enough just giving orders to begin with. It’s not a position that should exist. We seem to intuitively understand this with kings, but somehow capitalists is too far for people these day.

        The people that “overthrow capitalism” would be considered heroic individuals too

        For example, Lenin’s mummy is exposed in a fucking public plaza in the capital of Russia like if he was a monument

          Nope, they would be working class getting what they deserve. Also, no one overthrew capitalism is Russia. They didn’t have capitalism to begin with. Learn your history. They also never ended up with communism, if that’s what you’re gonna say. They had a state capitalism. And the veneration of individuals ia another clue we’re not dealing with a system about the people.

          I just love how you keep trying to prove me wrong, but can only find examples that prove me right. It’s beautiful.

          I love you.

              Is a fly a real kangaroo? Definitions exist for a reason. Communism is stateless - the USSR had a state. Communism is moneyless - but they still used money. Communism erases class distinctions - guess what else? The USSR had class distinctions. Sorry buddy. You can tell me you have a car, but if it only has two wheels and no motor, it’s probably just a bicycle.
