How much do you think the underpinning moral basis of a doctrine is useful to politics?
We're watching the same failure loop.
As an explanation for what I mean by this, I am an optimistic nihilist. The universe has no underlying morality to ground it. It just exists and has no idea it exists. A system of morals doesn't fundamentally exist. It may be however useful to declare some principles are important in order to achieve certain outcomes to avoid undesirable ones. If you want a fairly stable society that corrects it's flaws, is peaceful, and makes interesting things happen, then you can decide that certain outcomes will be likely to produce such things like a generally free state with a socially involved ownership of the economy, a generally democratic political system, and a competitive news system with diversified ownership and control over it. I could cite arguments from whatever ideology be it communism, environmentalism, Islamist social philosophy, liberalism, Toryism, anything I feel like to justify it to other people, but under it all, it is simply useful to make ourselves value certain things and act as if they were sacred like an idea of human rights perhaps even if they are not inherently true.
What ideas on this do you have?
