That is the biggest issue I have with Marxism, it has no spiritual or aesthetic concerns. Despite history and psychology research clearly showing that man has spiritual and aesthetic needs.

My biggest problem with Fascism however is the militarism, imperialism, and dictatorship government structure. Especially in the 21st century, and how technology can be used to control and subvert dissent, a Fascist state could easily become another North Korea. All anyone needs to do is read up on Edward Snowden's release documents, and what China is doing regarding monitoring social media, recognition and thermal camera tech, etc. If 'bad apples' get into power, with no separation of the branches of government another North Korea is inevitable. Any rebellion would not have the tech or capital to go up against the Goliath of a Technocratic Fascist state. I've never read/heard a Fascist address how a Technocratic Fascist state wouldn't descend into a North Korea style state.

That is it in a nutshell.

Unfalsifiable word games.

>I've grown tired of these "academics" who never actually do philosophy as theurgy, they only ever do something akin to history of philosophy or a deconstruction of various philosophies. Keith Woods is like all the professors in university, they can all talk and talk and talk about Buddhism but god forbid they actually become one.

I get where you are coming from, that annoys me too.

It's one reason why I like Eastern Philosophy, because Praxis/Theurgy is emphasized above analysis.

Improving character through self-therapy, whilst engaging in devotional practices that connect one to the Divine, IMO are way more important, and will improve society more than intellectuals who engage in endless deconstruction and diagnosis.
