I like your term forceful enlightenment Silhouette as I may have to borrow that for myself. What people are unwilling to do on their own independently I very much believe an outside state must be established to force them into check and that’s how I reconcile these opposing viewpoints you illustrate in bridging the gap. If people are unwilling or incapable of changing society on their own which for me that is where we’re at now then the state must intervene instead forcing that change onto society militarily if necessary. Reincarnation of Stalin? No, I equally detest communism as much as I do with capitalism. I am am an alternative third positionist. I believe in creating a third platform in opposition to both communism and capitalism simultaneously. Who would the leader be? I don’t know, such a leader of a movement has yet to present themselves in world history but I do believe it is a sort of inevitable manifested destiny that such a leader will present themselves eventually as every historical crisis individuals come forward where all others fail. I know ideally what such a leader would represent and be however. I am not anti-human as the goal of civilization would be to take the raw primitive form of humanity fashioning it into something better than itself where it transcends its original nature and I believe that the state I have in mind would do just that in facilitating. Yes, it is a very dark enlightenment I embrace.
The west in my mind is on the verge of total collapse and that is how my political proclivities will enact itself. When nations reach economic collapse, massive starvation, political social upheaval, infighting, and civil war that’s when my politics will be realized where the interesting component to all of this is that it will be your useless corrupted sham of a democracy that will bring that all about. It is from the ashes or those ruins the third position will rise with fury and bring about the necessary world change we so desperately need. We will rise and purge all communist or capitalist influences out of the world enacting our own political agenda. Both are blights on humanity that must be eradicated.
Also, technological transhumanism and A.I. is not the answer. As I was telling somebody else in another thread that is just another form of elitist entrapment and is a garbage perception of looking at things that should be disposed of. Technological enslavement of humanity is not the ideal future.
