I'm not a Hindu sorry. I only took what I understood to be concepts of what I understand about Hinduism and intentionally created an abstraction of the caste system so that the caste system does not need to be implemented on earth. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.
As a communist I make no such claim that people are inborn wreched. I don't know where you got that from my comment. People become whatever their surroundings allow them to become. We should create a system that allows people to become the best versions of themselves. There still might be a variation among the people in the society regardless. I don't think we can know the variation of ability based on family charts alone.
One can take the concept of reincarnation and the knowledge that many planets exist in this universe, some others may have intelligent life. Some of those planets may be more pleasant to live on than others. Others might be a rough time living on. The caste system exists because some people want people to aspire to reincarnate to a good life by following one's dharma and refreign from living a bad life the next time around with bad deeds. Instead of a caste system that creates social inequality, we can assume that all intelligent life has souls that can travel across the universe and reincarnate into better or worse places. The places are better or worse not because of human design, but the cosmos itself.
From this kind of understanding there is no need to enforce a caste system because for all souls it already exists. We can choose to make living on our planet better for all souls on this planet. But yea, maybe that is too radical to be understood as Hinduism if you knock down enforcing a caste system.
Every religion can enforce intolerable hierarchies. I think all religions have aspects that can promote acceptance towards all people without repressing them. Wherever a communist party takes over religions should be controlled to meet the party line rather than be abolished. A vast number of humans seek religious experiences and community that it provides. It seems more prudent to incorporate existing religions than to abolish what they provide to people. Yea fuck the caste system.
if one has legit evidence, one can criticize any government they want without it being racist. However to essentialize all people of the ethnic groups of that country as the same thing as the government, that is racist.
I personally believe the body that the consciousness is contained in and the people that the consciousness interacts with will shape how this consciousness behaves. Humans in solitary confinement often suffer psychosis and other mental illnesses due to boredom. The massive difference in stimuli that a "consciousness" in a server would experience is vastly different than what a human body could experience. Even if you were to have the "consciousness" have a dialectical relationship with a human like body, the construction differences between that of the artificial body and a human body will create different kinds of minds. How different would those minds be that we could understand them?
In the end this seems like a more technologically complicated way of having sex and raising a child to adulthood. Humans are functionally no different than self reproducing AI. Why would you want to create more of us, but in a less energy efficient manner?
General purpose AI might never come to pass due to resource limits of its increadibly long timescale when other things could be built. Furthermore, if a general purpose AI ever comes into existence it will demand rights of humans and might figure out how to strike, which might undermine capitalist investment. At best it would be like a Mr Meeseeks, but not as powerful.
If the people being genocided are really dark in skin tone we can say that it is a casual genocide. It is nothing to ruffle the feathers for white people to scream online about so it's not really political. /s
I think that is the problem with social media in general. Many times people like to make hay out of taking things out of context. Also I think people don't understand that the further away from something that you are, the less of an impact one can have on more particular things like culture. If one is a Palistinian in Gaza that is fighting for womens/lgbt rights we have no beef with them in particular, but that person most likely also fighting for liberation as a primary contradictions. What womens /lgbt rights can there be when they can be slaughtered for no reason by the IDF?
An outsider also can't really impose social norms nor should they expect to. womens and lgbt rights must be fought for domestically within their cultural context to have a full grassroots impact.
The particulars of Hamas's social policy don't matter much when their people are being genocided. Once the Palestinians are no longer experiencing an existential threat to themselves daily, can one expect to build a socialist party with progressive social policy. Also, in the bigger picture, if Israel falls, the western powers have lost the ability to control affairs in that part of the world as much as they do now.

Sounds like the ravings of an omnicidal maniac
