    , and not paint a subjective picture of what it is to be convenient to you as to serve a display of superiority.

    This is the kind of weird, condescending, shit that I find offensive.

    You’ve managed to make it through 4 paragraphs, and I’m even more confused as to why you’re talking to me.

    It seemed like you were arguing for a low-tech, anarchist, society, and now you’re trying to condescend me for not arguing correctly against Anarchism?

    Lack of social organization results in massive death and misery,

    This is what I’m trying to illustrate in my original comment. You’re still so fucking fixated on my use of “I” and the specific example of “bullet trains” that you can’t see that.

    and not paint a subjective picture of what it is to be convenient to you as to serve a display of superiority.

    Are you saying I’m not allowed to want things? Fuck you, I can have dreams and passion. My dreams are for a high-tech future society that can provide for everyone. That necessitates highly efficient transportation, like bullet trains, as illustrated by current successful Socialist projects.

    What the fuck is your point?

      Society, the proletariat, is expected to work hard to make your dreams and passions (personal/individual) become reality, or available to you. And this is communist but my criticism is “anarchistic”? If your dream was to make an ultra-fast bicycle just for you to run around with, I’d probably help you. To make a motorcycle do 210mph 330kph, it would take you probably more than a lifetime to create, without tremendous resources and machines you couldn’t possibly know how to use them all. But tolerable. Efficient train is the one carrying the most cargo with less energy, not the fastest on earth. This fast thing only serves capitalism and consuming resources for all the wrong reasons. The reason we have all these companies doing quick deliveries of small projects, entire warehouses, trains, trucks, even planes carrying small packages, is so the capitalist can sell and outcompete any local merchant from the other side of earth. It serves no real purpose and tremendous waste of energy and other resources are wasted because of this.

      We still live on an earth where more than a billion people are malnurished, hungry, or ill due to poor nutrition and living conditions. Bullet trains are a luxury that serve much less than a billion people who benefit from capitalism tremendously.

      Get your act together and begin to think as US instead of as YOU. Have you heard the slogan “everything for everyone, for ourselves nothing” ?? Para todos todo!

          I believe that in a public forum once you present an idea the idea becomes public, it is not private property, whether others agree, disagree, or will modify the original it is up to them. So once published it is not yours or anyone else’s to delete.

          Maybe irrelevant but a good opportunity to bring it up.

            I understand you have that belief, I do not share it and find your self-righteous tone to be very unpleasant. I do not want to continue interacting with you.
