mdem is scientific Existentialism-Structuralism
the thing is if we abolish classes there is a ton more history to go through which will all happen without classes in lack of classes all that history will be about structures and arrangements. the existence of Trotskyism proves this - two potential classless societies in bitter rivalry because the particle theories that order the structures in the society are still different meta-Marxism can guide us through the conflict or cooperation between different named Marxisms but after that it will guide us through the new epoch of "structural" struggle where different arrangements of arrangements of arrangements of people are the primary differences that anybody argues over in parties or international conferences
the Existentialist-Structuralist tradition currently believes that it is impossible to create a scientific study of the historical development of structures and arrangements such that it ever becomes possible to predict any of them [*ESf] but this is patently false the Marxist tradition up to now has shown it is possible, but it simply has not thoroughly considered the concept of a historical materialism without any ruling classes
because of this discrepancy it's a bit like we have to torch Existentialism even though it has found the basis for the next great theory of society postmodernism has corrupted it so badly nobody can see how valuable it should be
we should have seen this coming when we live our lives in republics where even though there are a lot of capitalists most social structures are not owned and a lot of the content of the US constitution is about designing and arranging them mayors. governors. presidents. ministries. court circuits. parliaments directly in place of the role of kings to unify territories. state businesses in the role of passing different people through a consistent social institution. structures overseeing the interconnection of state businesses. the future of republics is the maintenance of all these structures and the science of arranging some of the more fluctuating structures into the best arrangements — usually businesses, but potentially also such things as the groups of voters that we see on US voting district maps and currently agonize about whether to homogenize into competition or segregate by ideology
the fact that a classless society would be nothing more than a series of seemingly arbitrary structures is easily confused with the Liberal concept of gradual change within an existing order and the creation of structures around pre-designed principles. if the meta-Marxism of the future is all about rearranging structures, then why is Liberal reformism through means like constitutional amendments insufficient?
other philosophies like critical race theory have put up a better effort than center-Liberalism at trying to forge a shortcut from the age of republics to the age of structural science. critical race theory asks us to examine the real-world results of Liberal policies in creating useful structures or procedures which improve the republic, instead of trusting that voters are necessarily able to predict the consequences of what they voted or demonstrated for. it is nearly willing to accept that the conflict between voters of what policies they believe they want and the underlying science of what is actually the best way to construct society are not the same thing.
however, there are reasons this shortcut is dangerous and will not succeed. Liberalism ignores the natural tendency for voters to splinter into separate Social-Philosophical-Material Systems as soon as they begin gravitating to truly different sets of social structures. the existence of Menshevism can be enough to splinter capitalists into their own cultural island which instead of making compromises begins behaving like a sovereign nation threatened by challenges to its sovereignty. and when a nation is split into separate nations competing for material resources and power it is in no position to create a scientific study of the best and worst ways to structure a republic. people do not exist within the same set of understandings and agreements. the country simply has not passed into the unified classless period of its history, and faces all the challenges of the previous period instead.
everyone in the United States wants to believe that if we avoid Marxism the inner goals or results of Marxism will never happen, but there is a lot of evidence that at least these particular beliefs have been wrong
it does look a whole lot like if you avoid Stalin Thought and centralized control, what you get is not the absence of the issues that come up in Stalin Thought, but instead those same issues coming up in a disorganized anarchic way and getting solved through disorganized anarchic solutions. * if you try to get out of economic planning, corporations and creators all individually end up collecting data on everyone around them and solving math problems to try to snap the economy together and ensure their business survives. * if you try to get out of censorship, graphs or individuals will censor and police each other horizontally until people are hiding from each other to avoid horizontal attacks. the issues we all believed were invented by Stalin Thought were not anomalies or defects, but actually problems characteristic of society itself that needed to be solved, and that we would never have the choice not to solve.
