Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm Collins

Video Transcript (auto-translated so will include errors):Hello, Malcolm. Hello, Simone. It's wonderful to be here with you today. What are we talking about? I believe we're talking about revolutions and the model for revolutions that you came up with the other day that Surprised me. You always accredit things to me. I don't know why, you know, but whatever we're, because you come up with all the ideas.I ask dumb questions sometimes, which is apparently helpful. Well, this is in reference to the previous post where I was saying it's actually very rarely the, the most downtrod class in society that leads to any form of a revolution. Actually, this is really interesting. You can see this as sort of across societies during colonial periods.Mm-hmm. Where the colonies that would revolt first were often the wealthiest colonies like the American colonies. Where like the average citizen was taxed less than the average citizen in the UK was taxed at the same time period when they were revolting over taxes without representation. And you know, I, I think that it's really interesting to look at like why revolutions happen and we sort of came up with a predictive model, which we want to apply to online communities because I think it can tell us who's going to win.The online culture war and how groups can win the online culture war. But you would also say that this transfers to broadly speaking governments and Yeah. Broadly speaking, governments, et cetera. And it, it doesn't always hold true, but it, when it doesn't hold true, you can see sort of proof of the model through the ways it doesn't hold true. This is a public episode.

In this video we discuss the aspects of communism that work, those that don't, and whether communism might work in a post-ai world. Can AI make communism work? Why do Kibbitzes? Malcolm and Simone tackle these topics in this episode of Based Camp. In today's video, we delve into a deep conversation about Communism and its influence in contemporary discourse. We examine the often unseen intersection between various ideologies, from environmentalism to secular Calvinism, and how they sometimes lead to debates about capitalism and communism. We explore the disparity between how communism is envisioned versus its practical implementation and the struggle many individuals face in aligning their lifestyle with their political ideals. The conversation also touches on how certain political structures can inadvertently encourage negative societal traits, with examples drawn from both communist and capitalist societies. Further, we debate why communism often fails when implemented on a large scale, referencing the power consolidation problem, the Home Owners Association (HOA) problem, and the square-cube law of governance. Our discourse provides a unique perspective on the idealism of communism, the practical realities of its implementation, and the lessons we can draw from both successful and failed experiments. Join us on this intellectual journey and be sure to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. This is a public episode.
