| As we know, in "communist countries" (please note the quotation marks) there has been obvious forms of nobility. Castro, Lenin, USSR propeganda paintings, KGB members, etc.
But, do you think there would be a form of nobility in an actual Communist society? Maybe, one who stands above others, dosent have other rites, but is noted by his peers as one of nobility? Not a family or self given title, but one give to a person by the people?
I've just been thinking of this a lot for a while, and decided to get the opinions of some other people. Capitalists, feel free to express yourselves as well. | |

Seconded. Nobility is a privileged state position; No state, no nobility. | |

Then yes; Durruti would be an apt example - CKX wrote:

The argument you employed was social-darwinist. - Quote :

Nobles, by definition, are above society as they are bound to the state; That's just not the word you want to use. | |

| In all honesty, I'm kind of opposed to the idea of "heroes." I might actually post a thread about it - of course, after I get all this fucking studying done. | |

| Haha cool man.
Im kind of opposed to it too, I was just wondering your guys opinion. Of course I think we should remember people, but when some when gets "hero status" they start to become douchebags.
Or more likely allready are. | |

Or myself if no one is listening. Whoops, thought you were referring to BC. Okay, I'll say this pretty plainly: no, I don't think Durruti was a Social Darwinist for a number of reasons. A.) I think his role as the sort of de facto leader of the Spanish revolutionaries was not so much a firmly established, organizational pattern. It was more of a recognition that he was the face of the movement, but not necessarily the main operator behind it. B.) As a standard, I don't necessarily think that all "nobles" are Social Darwinists, which has a very specific meaning, and it would be somewhat anachronistic to call "nobles" Social Darwinists when the ideas of Social Darwinism really only came about around the late 19th century. Nobles were around way, way before Social Darwinism even existed. However, even if we were to try to refer to nobles as Social Darwinists, most nobles didn't legitimize themselves by what would be considered Social Darwinist arguments. I think that they believed that their right to rule came from God - Divine Right of Kings - and by hereditary succession. Social Darwinism argues that certain groups of people are naturally superior to others, and, to be totally fair, I don't think nobles necessarily viewed themselves as being naturally superior to their subjects; their title was simply an endowment bestowed to them by a higher power or by their bloodline. Holy shit, I went way off track with this one. Anyway, no, I don't think Durruti was a Social Darwinist, nor do I think that any "nobles" were. And, also, I don't think Durruti was a noble - quite contrarily, I think that he was a kickass motherfucker, straight up. Much respect. One final note: by default, I think that all Capitalists are Social Darwinists. | |

I could not agree with you more. :3 Im taking socialogy class in my college at the moment, and hearing what Soc-Darwinism had to offer... Not exactly half fair to others. It's like implying if you have a child with a genetic mutation, then that defect makes them "inferior" to the parents/other human beings. Social-Darwinism = not my cup of tea. | |
