Andrew’s Reviews > Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism?: Five Interventions in the (Mis)Use of a Notion > Status Update

I could go on an on how much i HATE his christian apoligia, and how much i wish hed have the intellectual honesty to just become a member of the pedophillic fancy dress priesthood rarther than twisting himself into coming up with secular sophistry of a materialist defence of a fundamentally spiritual/supernatural ontological belief system. It comes down to a fundamentally different approach to what one sees communism as. He sees it as a some kind of advanced spirituality, a belief that communism.is a transferrence into an other state. i see it as an attempt to redeem an innately Schopenhaurian material world of natural/Darwinian suffering through conscious human action into something better. I see communism as the negation of christianity in every and all forms, objectively in its belief in objective sciences which binds all human activity, philosophically in an absolute rejection of any notion of a second chance past our lifespans thanks to the aid of anything that isnt us. The point is not, contra Shitzek, that human life is only justified by rupture into something other. Communism is the continuance of human life through other means, superficially different but fundamentally rooted all the same.
