The abolition of capitalism won't matter if the superstructure recreates the capitalist base. That's why totalitarian control of culture and institutions is required.
She's doubly ignorant because she says this but never defines the base. Which Marx did: trade between individuals. But Nepenthe would never say artists should not be able to do their own art and trade it for what they can get rather than producing only the art which the state orders them to for distribution the state determines. And nobody there will ever do enough learning to force her to address this contradiction. It's a much greater contradiction than the one she alleges here:
Nepenthe wrote:It's that the system we currently is fundamentally not actually set up to achieve long-term humanistic outcomes. And yet people are trying to achieve long-term humanistic outcomes through this system. Once again it's contradictory.Because that's just an idiot believing a system can be designed where only intentions happen. And especially for a future it cannot know.
