The Critical Mind?

[Hen]

I'm a newbie and I read something...

-
"In a capitalist society, all human relationships are voluntary. Men are free to cooperate or not, to deal with one another or not, as their own individual judgments, convictions, and interests dictate... The right to agree with others is not a problem in any society; it is the right to disagree that is crucial. It is the institution of private property that protects and implements the right to disagree—and thus keeps the road open to man’s most valuable attribute (valuable personally, socially, and objectively): the creative mind".

I disagree with the idea that in a capitalist society, all human relationship are voluntary - you have no choice but to enter an exploitative labour market. Here, I'm just curious about the right to disagree in a communist society, a majoritarian society. If 51 percent adhere to one opinion and 49 percent adhere to the opposing opinion...Would the 49 percent simply give up their position for the sake of common good, even if decreed by the slightest majority rule? People always attach a lack of critical faculty, sort of brainwashed notion with citizens of communists societies...Is it a misconception?

Welcome :)

As for your questions, I do not have the answer on how communist society will deal with every single aspect of human life. What I do know is that communists fight for more democracy as only the self-liberation of the working class can make revolution. Communists, in my opinion, should also put emphasis on the biggest possible democracy within a revolutionary party.

Why? Because differences are concrete reflections on developments within society - at the level of tactics, strategy, programme or theory - these discussions are therefore important for the broader working class. In fact, these broader layers could actually give feedback in the form of letters or articles sharing their experiences and ideas. So these debates attract a layer of workers, the politically aware layer of workers at that, the vanguard of the class, those leaders on the ground that mattered in every fight of the class. Because the party acts as such a platform, it becomes a crystallisation point of political development of the class and therefore builds a poltical leadership. This is the dialectical relationship between party and class and it this kind of party that I stand for.

welcome.
i say that majoritarianism is wrong and that the 51 have no right to rule the 49 any more then 1 has right to rule 99.

if there is such a big issue though and community is split almost half and half and there is no reconcile then perhaps it is best if the community does split and become 2.
