I'm only skepitcal about revolutionary zeal leading people blindly into thinking they can accomplish something they might not be able to. I'd say I have a fair amount of reasons for that.
I'd agree. You call me a communist but I don't believe in any of that revolutionary zeal. I believe that humanity is being culturally molded slowly but surely into something other than the cavemen we still kinda sorta are, but I don't think that our caveman instincts are being erased. We're still poo flinging apes at our very core. But capitalism is what destroyed the idea of formal birth hierarchies and socialism will be what destroys meritocratic hierarchies. Eventually.

I'm really not a revolutionary. I'm a watcher who would like the human race to be farther along than they currently are and can't help but be pissed off at seeing all these bull**** hierarchies still in force when I simply can't stand to still see them in existence because I have to live in this world where I'm subjected to them.
