Yeah, I think if I am level headed, I would put the truth at the exact center. That being said, since our society is dominated by progressives and marxists, I pretty much sympathize with everyone else: the nietzschiens, nationalists, hobbesians, and even Lockeans to a lesser extent. I tend to view ideologies that view human nature as good as false and suspicious due to my theology; however humans do have a capacity for good. Center is healthy, but it looks like Hobbesian nationalism because of the current state of the West.
Great map, i loved the one you made on the dissident right.
I feel that's useless to debate when you realize how different we view human nature, which as you explained is heavily influenced on how much violence or peace we see in our communities.
However i never understood why Marx treats barbaric societies as primitive communism, were not this societies hardly driven by war, hierarchies and inequality?
Marx is going to argue that man does not have a natural state. Nature is created by man which then shapes man in a giant positive feed back loop. Man does not exist beyond nature he is a product of nature.
This entire essay is wrong because the corner stone of Marxism is rejecting the Transcendental Subject aka man outside nature.
I'm not even here to argue with you or be rude. I'm here to tell you that if you want to write on such broad strokes your going to need to do a lot more reading.
If you don't believe in human nature (a.k.a. human without authority repression) then I don't see how you can believe in a classless society, or the end of explotation, or a stateless society. What's the point of human liberation if people are not guaranteed to be peaceful, or to randomly restore explotation.
"in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic."
Note that he doesn't mention bad activities, which means that there's no such thing as becoming accomplished by being bad.
Language is already a form of repression, by definition. You need to read your on your Zizek. A lot of your definitions are sloppy and im not hoping yo wast hours proof reading you
You seem to be repressing yourself from explaining your point :9.
I'm not doing hard definitions because language sucks anyway (*) and this is the Internet.
(*) Reality cannot be transmited by language. Language can only suggest the shape of reality, but you need to understand it yourself fron your own perspective. The constants reference to external sources of truth just show mind weakness.
I don't think that I have much new to say on the topic and that it tends to be generally overblown because it is really good at getting clicks and causing outrage.
I think that in the grand scale the tiny percentage of trans and gender-soup people are irrelevant when compared to other issues such as demographic decline or migration. These people are generally lost and latch on to a new identity that is celebrated by the left because the LGBT^2 community is a loyal power center.
I think that it is a type of neurosis that comes from deeper societal problems that are the result of modernity; primarily the lack of community, stable family structures, and general meaninglessness which will not disappear overnight and will express itself in some way or another.
That's insightful. Would you say that this the same phenomenon that caused parasocial activities such as kpop stunning and the internet alt-right communities such as wignats and groypers?

Fascinating 🤨 human societies are so diverse and complex. Thanks

There is a large element of romantization of the noble savage.
That being said there are some primitive societies that are really peaceful, such as the Moriori, Hadza, and Semai.
They do exist, but they are rare.
Although Russell might want to weigh in.

Not related but are you going to do an essay on the current gender issue (trans and other stuff)? I really want to hear your opinion on it.
