>>47877763This sounds to me like what the Russian Cosmists (which had a great deal of power in the USSR and actually were the main ideologues driving that country to engage into the space race) tried to perform in terms of greater scale social engineering, something similar of what the UN pretends to do with Agenda 2030.
All of these attempts fail because, if one assumes they're well-intended, they always oversimplify human nature in technochratic and materialistic terms, same thing that happens with central planned economy. If bad-intended, they all lead to tyranny.
I personally defend a much more laissez-faire approach ruled by a law that is discovered rather than dictated (ius-naturalism v/s ius-positivism). In that regard, Thomas Aquinas did a lot of work distilling the code of conduct taking in account human spirituality and their relation with God. From there it stems the values that in pretty much every liberal democracy are held dear: rights of life, property and liberty; and were the inspiration for law codes such as the Constitution of the United States.
When taking God out of the equation, you can condition these rights to the whim of any social engineering you like, just like both the communists and the jacobins tried to do.
>>47877801Karl Marx in his Communist Manifesto also oversimplified history as he tried to shove class dialectics into every historical event, and because he was convinced that these dialectics can be solved, when history shows us that trying to solve dialectics is like trying to cut out a magnet. Same error that Ayn Rand tends to make in works like Atlas Shrugged btw.
