Oversimplification is not anyone's complaint here

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 8 months ago

So what is it? This whole argument seems to have started because you didn't like that I used "determinism" positively in the title, as you assumed it implied I thought the universe worked in simple mechanics as Marx's opponents did.

What is what? I think my criticism is pretty plain and I've had to repeat it many times.

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Your position from the first comment is free will and determinism both exist. I have never seen a reason to believe in free will. That is why we are at odds. I don't know if I believe in determinism, but free will as most people use it is incompatible with dialectical materialism.

Your position from the first comment is free will and determinism both exist.

Are you sure about that?

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Dialectical materialism holds that both are at work but that material conditions are dominant.

Am I supposed to take "both" to not include "free will?"

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

You're supposed to review your claim to see whether it's accurate.

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 8 months ago

What claim do you want me to review?

I stand behind my impression that “both” was intended to mean that diamat is ultimately compatiblist. A claim I disagree with, as I am not a compatiblist, yet I see no conflict between that and my dialectical materialist outlook.

Do you really not know what I'm challenging you on?

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 8 months ago

The question is not yet settled by simply debunking religious dogma?

This conversation has gone all over the place, I don't know what point you were originally trying to make.
