Order of Advocators

Image
These methods of information gathering are a tool that helps the Order of Advocators to determine the policies it should take to best accommodate the needs of the people through the dialectical process of filtering their feedback through revolutionary socialist theory. The revolutionary “anti-vanguard” (used in a non-authoritarian sense meaning advanced faction) should go directly to the people, to the cities, towns, and communities – live and study first-hand the life of the people, talk with everyday people, and find out their needs, desires, goals, aspirations, talents, capabilities, ideologies, and mindsets. Then formulate the revolutionary theory in a way that people can understand and that deeply resonates with them and their everyday life. This reconciles the top-down and bottom-up dichotomy within the broader left. The Order of Advocators are the libertarian technocrats that are driven by the larger community of the masses. They are not to give dictates but they are to learn fr...

Three Points of Mao-Spontaneity

Image
Anarcho-Maoism combines anarchist and Maoist ideals. It is particularly inspired by the Cultural Revolution when revolt against all organized society was encouraged. The ideas of anarchomaoism can best be summed up with the phrase “to rebel is justified.” Mao-spontenaity emphasizes the chaotic aspects of Maoist revolution in opposition to status quo and established order. Anarchomaoism is influenced by elements of direct democracy.  Its important to note that Mao was a mass-murdering statist, who murdered more people than anyone else in history, including Hitler and Stalin. He used intimidation, prisons, police, concentration camps, and bogus trials to terrorize and murder countless people. “Maoism” in the traditional sense is authoritarian. However    many aspects of Maoist philosophy is worth salvaging. Nothing is “entirely good” or “entirely bad”, everything has something to offer us, so take the good parts of Maoism and discard the rest. Also, there is a big differenc...

Anarcho-Maoism-Egoism-Realpolitik

Image
Alt Centrism pulls from the fringe elements of each quadrant of the political compass. Some of the most despised political figures’ ideas combine to form Anarcho-Maoism-Egoism-Realpolitik. This combination of the ideas of Proudhon, Mao, Rand, and Machiavelli come together at the radical center.   Proudhon was the first person to declare himself an anarchist, using that term and is widely regarded as one of anarchism's most influential theorists. Proudhon is considered by many to be the "father of anarchism". Proudhon favored workers councils and associations or cooperatives as well as individual worker possession over private ownership or the nationalization of land and workplaces. For Proudhon, his philosophy involved free association by creating industrial democracy, a system where workplaces would be handed over to democratically organised workers' associations. Anarcho-Maoism, is a revolutionary socialist    tendency that believes the social revolution can and sho...

Ecologists Embedding

Image
The obsolete technocratic philosophy is mechanistic. It conceptualizes nature as a resource to be controlled fully for human ends and it threatens drastically to alter the integrity of the planet’s ecosystems. In contrast, the organic, person-planetary paradigm conceptualizes intrinsic value on all beings. The ecology movement gives priority to community and ecosystem integrity and helps to guide the design and applications of technology according to principles which follow from ecological understanding. Ecologists will need to come to embody the ecological paradigm and co-create ecological councils that represent interrelated communities. The Problems  Decisions are made on the political and narrow economic grounds, rather than on principles that are environmentally sound and economically advantageous in the long term. Modern technologies have given us much in the way of comfort and enjoyment and they have made possible the development of human skills on a scale never before possi...

Heterarchies

Image
A heterarchy is a system of organization where the elements of the organization are unranked (non-hierarchical) or where they possess the potential to be ranked a number of different ways. A heterarchy may be parallel to a hierarchy, subsumed to a hierarchy, or it may contain hierarchies; the two kinds of structure are not mutually exclusive. In fact, each level in a hierarchical system is composed of a potentially heterarchical group which contains its constituent elements.  In a group of related items, heterarchy is a state wherein any pair of items is likely to be related in two or more differing ways. Whereas hierarchies sort groups into progressively smaller categories and subcategories, heterarchies divide and unite groups variously, according to multiple concerns that emerge or recede from view according to perspective. Crucially, no one way of dividing a heterarchical system can ever be a totalizing or all-encompassing view of the system, each division is clearly partial, a...

Logos, Reason, and Knowledge

Image
Pragmatists offer a theory devoted to practical questions arising from human life. Knowledge is a success term on two fronts. First, with knowledge we have truth. Second, we, in obtaining that knowledge have expressed our rationality.  On the infinists view, since everything can be questioned, the quest for knowledge is a never ending process of answering questions and opening new ones. Pragmatists view is that one not need address the ultimate questions before proceeding with inquiry regarding nonultimate issues. What is necessary, then, fir those seeking knowledge is not an inclination to find unshakable theses, but an openness to criticism, a willingness to change ones mind, and the attitude that any one purportedly known truth could be false.  Many pragmatists have taken it that epistemology Im general is futile. The anti-epistemologist reasons that there can be no universal epistemology since there is a variety of lives and a multiplicity of values.  Some hold that p...

Multiverse Metaphysics

Image
Metaphysics is best described as the study of ultimate reality. For pragmatists, the whole function of philosophy ought to be to find out what difference it would make to you and me m, at definite instants of our life, if this world-formula or that world-formula be the true one. A good deal of metaphysics has been posited on the various exchanges between the three options of metaphysical pluralism (there are lots of different objects), nihilism (there are no objects), and monism (there is just one object). Multiversalism is their synthesis.  The point of the world-making thesis is to spur further innovation in developing new ones. The means of deciding between competing metaphysics is their practical value. There is no external perspective from which to adjudge.  Inside the Multiverse we cannot simply apply the homogenous and monistic label of Nature to what is unfolding everywhere around, before, inside, after and outside us. The introduction of the word Multiverse is a means...
