Human will is as subject to cause and effect as is everything that exists. You are motivated to work toward socialism. If the majority are never motivated to, in spite of our efforts, then it was not possible.
One cannot think, feel, choose or do other than as one thinks, feels, chooses or does at any given time.
“If he had thought of checking his oven was left on, his house wouldn’t have burned down.” Fair enough, but he didn’t, so it was not possible that he might have. To say “he could have thought it” is meaningless.
Similarly, “If they had come round to our thinking and made socialism, we wouldn’t be lingering now in an unlivable world.” But they didn’t, so it wasn’t possible. To say they could have is equally meaningless.
The obverse is also true, of course.
If socialism never happens it obviously wasn’t possible, not because it wasn’t viable, but because people were never ready/aware for it. But we won’t know it was impossible until it didn’t happen. Whether our species has the ability to realise it remains to be seen. If we don’t realise it, then obviously we didn’t have the ability, because our collective will never came round to it.
You didn’t cross the road; you went into the store instead. You imagine it was possible for you to cross the road. But it wasn’t, because you didn’t. You cannot decide other than you decide at any one time. You cannot think other than what you think at any one time. You imagine you are free not to be a socialist, but you are not, because you are one.
” It is only now possible, through socialist consciousness, that such a possibility exists.”
********You’d think.
We will only know it was possible when it happens. If something possible never happens, then it wasn’t possible.
The only thing we can, and must, do is to do our best to edge it toward possibility, even when all the conditions for it to become possible are in place, except for the final ingredient: awareness on a large majority’s part. If that doesn’t come, then it wasn’t possible.Christian violence in Australia.
A clear connection here between conspiralunacy and American-style evangelical fundamentalism.
What about all the destruction wrought by the Olympics, every time. People moved out of the area, areas destroyed.
The Olympics is all about money, not just nationalism.

But i cannot see the absolutely fanatic following among the workers for spectator sports disappearing any time soon, can you? You’d be laughed out of the pub.
I helped briefly at a child day care centre, and i saw spontaneous natural play silenced and crushed, and replaced with supervised competitive sport, with shouting and commands.
If you apprehend a cosmic simulator, or arrest God for obscene literature (the Bible), please let us know, and we will adjust our thinking.
The notion of simulation requires a simulator, hence an Intelligent Designer, hence a God (or Devil), and brings us back to the same human dependency on centrality. People just cannot bear to give up the idea that they are central to everything; that everything exists in order to serve them, be solely interested in them, or bamboozle them. Nothing terrifies them as much as Carl Sagan’s pale blue dot.
And today’s conspiracism is the latest manifestation of this need to feel significant and important, and watched.
The conspiraloons i have known start with Leftist pro-rights and freedom talk, moving to Illuminati conspiracy talk, thence quickly to flat earth, chemtrails, etc., thence to either reptilian rulers or Atlanteanism and Ancient Alienism, thence to Holocaust denial and pro-Hitlerism, ending up as full-blown racism. That’s the trajectory.
All these are pathetic attempts to save “God” and “purpose” from oblivion, and at the back of conspiralunacy is Christian fundamentalism. Because the final “conspiracy” in the eyes of all of them is “to hide God from us” and make out that humans are not the centre of everything and deny that everything exists to serve us. That’s what “the Illuminati are about.”
Not surprising, since the very writers and thinkers conspiraloons hate most are the materialists and scientists of the past three centuries.
