by radical ’secular’ I actually mean an organization that is grounded ‘in
the world’- i mean immersion in the sensual world, a comportment towards
authenticity in the face death- and is not merely ‘organization’. I meant to
make that point more clearly but thought you guys would understand that I
used the word to refer to worldliness, and Being in the world- not just any
old ‘organization’, or a reference to people who merely do not got to church
much. But if you like you can address my cancerous organization (and I do
take your point) as being permaanently under erasure in regards the
determinism of your nihilism- and yes I would be prepared to do terrible
things, but the romans did terrible things- but in the end, their
organizations and ordering of the world resulted in the current and growing
humanist orierntation of ‘civilization’ which adds up to a whole lot more
misery being driven from the worlds continents and peoples. There are not as
many barefoot and pregnant women, less domestic violence, less diseaese,
less famine, freedom of speech, less despots, better treatment of the worlds
less fortunate and disabled. All because the Romans KNEW they had to
slaughter Germans. In the end, its just mass benefit, against a few broken
eggs. But I entirely understood your critic of my post- but its a bit subtle
for my headstrong ways- I have ‘faith’ in the notion of radical
revolutionary social egineering- and thus the notion ‘enemy of the
revolution’- and how, now that I get to the end, I critic you and your
critic of my post. (not that I mind someone replying to my post). As I have
said in a previous post, ‘Stalin’ was right, to persecute the church, and
especially right to sacrifice the flower of Ruussia’s youth to defeat the
Nazis. He was a monster, but his place in history means that the proletariat
is now not so completely downtrodden and disenfrachised, and Reinhard
Heydrich didn’t succeed Hitler, to be the undisputed Fuhrer of the world.
