The dichotomy seems very narrow in scope.

@Pfuzylogic It isn't it you read the ideas fully. Communism as experienced so far on Earth has basically followed three thought processes directed by three individuals - Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong. There are other great philosophers who spoke at lengths about the establishment of a Marxist state one was Leon Trotsky. He was so scathing of Stalinist principles that Stalin had him murdered in Mexico! He isn't the lone alternate Marxist philosopher available to us either!

Marxism and communism belong under the same umbrella of philosophy so in essence you haven’t given a choice but have forced preconceived ideas of governance.

@Pfuzylogic I havent! Ok, in the flip side who is the singular authority in capitalism? Adam Smith? Margaret Thatcher? Franklin Roosevelt?

I don’t see capitalism as the only option but of you were looking for its author it would be shared among the many captains of the industry which could be J.P. Morgan, Edison, Ford, DuPont among many others and where is the option of Socialism?

@Pfuzylogic Socialism is a development that has few authors!

I would agree but there are several countries that use it for their government such as Nicaragua, India, Algeria and Portugal.

@Pfuzylogic Humans have long been flawed!

But mysticism always seemed a method of imagination rather than reality to me.

@Pfuzylogic Have you read the Book of Zohar?

@Marganitbatadam
I have read that or other literature that correlated the names and the images presented for God. I was interested after Bowie got into it in the late 70s. I am more careful with my worship now.

@Pfuzylogic I see! Well it points to deeper realities in mysticism

@Marganitbatadam
I do believe you practice a deeper knowledge. I hope you find it profitable.
