Why Marxism failed according to Bertrand Russell

[Elliott]

Here is an example for a justifiable argument for universal basic income, free healthcare, education,...; in my opinion as a 'liberal anti-socialism capitalist'

It would be a beautiful and rich experience to raise a family and have my own little minions one day running around and challenging my consciousness as little divine imprints and creative bubbles of love, but at the same time not living in an ideal environment and having your own land and home and and safe space of love to raise them in, ideally in a natural setting full of wild-life, exposure to nature, animals and a healthy community, it would definitely not be wise in my eyes.

My recent partner and I were on this path and very close to having children, but we had to split and push this aside which was very heartbreaking for both of us because we realized unfortunately everywhere we go, money is one of the main things we need to have our own land, home, and safe space. We were almost considering selling everything we own and going to the wild and living entirely off grid and doing it that way, but we too felt we had more to do in the modern world so we felt to follow and honour that first and until we are both ready and have the resources to raise a family, if it ever aligns again.

2025 was one of the hardest years for me, a lot of heartbreaks happened in all areas of life. Its very unfortunate we have to pay to live, being the most intelligent creatures on this planet, we are the only ones that deal with money, and because we are mostly raised in these mostly artificial environments, we struggle to know how to live naturally and more freely as the indigenous and native people do so effortlessly. I have lived with natives a few times, but they are way stronger and more adaptive to the wild than most people raised in the city ever can be, it could take decades to adapt and be at peace with it.

I was even considering venturing off to the Himalayas and leaving behind the phone, wallet and wandering into the forest and never returning. I still feel this call deep within me, if things don't change, i might actually just do that cause this world is severely messed up in some ways and i haven't seen much change in the 35 or so years I've been walking upon it.

To have to pay to live is the most unnatural feeling ever, ever since i was born i felt something is terribly wrong with this system. Its severely sick and people just bow their heads and accept it, but i guess most people are sick themselves and under the spell.

 

 

Since we've created arbitrary standards like zoning laws and building standards, that essentially bans traditional lifestyles, and it's not right to expect everyone to magically adapt to this new arbitrary made up system.

Egalitarian, not socialist. It's equality.
