Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (4.00 / 5)

Don't worry, atheists don't blame "God" for anything. That would be very, very silly.

Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (4.00 / 2)

LOL. Yeah, that would be very silly, indeed - or a revelation? ;)

I didn't know that all progressive people were atheists - since I had only referred to them.

Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (4.00 / 2)

I don't know any. There's loads who claim to be progressive but none who can agree what progressive actually means. It's sort of a compromise between a US Liberal, a European Socialist, a commutarian anarchist (I made that one up) and various "alternative types" who define themselves in contradistinction to the dominant narrative. (And BTW, no one will agree with the above definition either).

Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (4.00 / 3)

Which one do claim to have made up? Social anarchism (aka communtarian anarchism), Collectivist anarchism (also known as anarcho-collectivism or communtarian anarchism) or perhaps Libertarian socialism (which is the term wikipedia redirects a search for communtarian anarchism to)?

Ah, now i see you are talking about commutarian anarchist, not communtarian anarchist. Ah well, that is a whole other cup of tea.

Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (none / 1)

It sounded about right and I was too lazy to look it up or even spell check it. You seem to be giving it some post hoc rationalization!

That your stab in the dark hit at least three (different?) ideologies was an excellent illustration of the diversity of ideologies. To excellent to pass...

Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (none / 0)

er, are we meaning 'complementary', rather than compl_i_mentary?

Re: Competing or complimentary paradigms? (none / 0)

Oups! You are right, I hadn't been talking about "progressives" but "progressive people" (playing with words and forgot about it...). - Sorry. I had meant to aim "progressives" - and also really anyone who will point to men to justify the non-existence of God.
