Only Communism Can Save Mankind

Haven't we seen this sort of State-organized abuse before, communities being kicked out because the State wants something, and the people can not say otherwise?

Moving people from their homes is very traumatic.

Killing people and harvesting their organs... more so.

China has much darker skeletons in its closet... and they are still there today.



I think we have seen enough examples from China to prove that state run communism is FAR worse than capitalism (or what ever the west currently functions under,, fascism i guess).

So since we have (many) examples that neither "ism" works ideally, where do we go from here?

They US tried to start a Constitutional Republic; and for the most part was fairly successful, but it has still turned into a basket of corruption (just not as bad as china and some other places, or at least not as openly bad... Regime change is pretty evil IMO).

Do we go with something like the Venus project (more of a socialist approach?) I still see issues with this one & avenues for corruption to flourish.

I haven't seen any systems I'd support as of yet other than volunteerism (and only from a purely intellectual level, I'm not sure how it would functionally be implemented).

We already have modern examples that it works:

Any system attempting harmony and cooperation is bound to fail unless we first reform belief systems. What I am trying to figure out is how to reform belief system. From there all good things will happen and without the need to plan or govern. volunteerism works because people who volunteer has the right belief system.

working from the core or source is a lot easier and many times effective. My take is that mans problem is a result of some groups manipulating our belief system for their agendas. Thus the solution would be to neutralize the group and reform belief system. So now how do we neutralize this entities? We need numbers. a mass of awakened individuals. education is the solution and the best way to do it is by example. we go back to "be the change you wanted to see". And the good thing about it is you get your reward outright.

I must strongly disagree... communism is a path to suffering ... the human being will always yearn for freedom... one person telling everyone else what they can and cannot do , history teaches us that way fails in every time it is tried... jehovah and Allah have been trying for over 2,000 years and all it has done is create hatred, war, and suffering ... the way to save the world is each person being responsible for themslves, for thir thoughts , actions, and feelings... limiting what they choose so as not to cause harm to others ... freedom , love, harmony , peace is the way , as long as we look to anything outside self responsibility the world will continue to stumble around in the darkness , like it has for 389,000 years , cultures rise and fall , kings, idols, leaders come and go, at the end of it all , its the sum of the choices of the person in the mirror, incorrect thinking leading to bad choices, leading to the law of causality... you reap what you sow ...you grow what you plant, you live in the words you speak , you speak from your thoughts, correct thnking is the starting point, the ETs say we have 740 more years before we get it ...the answer is inside you, waiting, that still small inner voice ...

I commend Xidaijena for sharing her experience. I think we should be less judgmental and more supportive of any effort that strives for a more holistic living. If anything I see this as an enriching experience.

Any system of governance, as long as it is hierarchical as opposed to holographic, can be abused. I think it is safe to say that neither democracy, monarchy, communism, fascism and socialism are ideal systems.

I would suggest that we start with working on improving ourselves and being the best we can be. It starts with the individual. Any society starts with the individual as its building blocks.

i added this short video about tending gardens. Perhaps systems of governance can be likened to gardens. If we make the garden impeccable... it matters not the system.

In the English language, 'Communism' is rather a 'loaded' word, as we say.

It has so many connotations and so much historical baggage, and often triggers so many thoughts, feelings and images, that it might be best (safer!) to use another term: maybe something like 'organized communal living'.

It must be very difficult to establish alternative communities in a country that is as unfree and controlled as China. The Chinese state is very eager to not allow people to be sovereign, therefore any creation of an alternative community seems to me like a massive feat, more so than in many other countries.

I assume that state surveillance poses a constant threat to alternative communities in China, therefore it's probably helping the cause of any alternative community in China to publicly praise 'communism,' cause it may just appease state authorities.

It's marvelous that a person from China can share her experiences about her community here on the forum with people who are mostly from a very different culture.

Doing what they are doing is actually shaking the shackles a little, within the 'communistic" prevalence of their political party hands on.

In my book, congratulation for the good work.

However, I would call it more a community or communal work than communism because of the bad meaning communism has in the West.

Communism is not just a new lifestyle and a new production system, it is a noble faith.

The communism I discuss here is very different from the communism described by Karl Max, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong. The way it realizes the communist production relationship has essential differences from the ways carried out by Lenin and Mao. Please do not jump to the conclusion that the communism I mentioned is like your previous experience and perception of the term. Marx, Lenin, and Mao, we temporarily name ours, “Xuefeng-style communism”.

Ecovillage is a better word. As used here:

Or "New Oasis", as used here:

Well, to be fair, rather than thinking about "isms" or the Chinese state...click through the links on xidaijena's signature and there's the direct examples.

There is a pretty fair amount of New Age-y belief system, but no religion, no birthdays, no family, no organization, no crime, no newborns, at least according to them. They did tell the president of China they had successfully achieved communism. The state did shut down their locations for a year or two. Yunnan is traditionally matriarchal without the typical "nuclear family".

It sounds a lot like "volunteerism", you work six hours six days a week, basic needs are taken care of. There really didn't seem to be anything we could call "government". Now, this place is probably not going to invent the next super-computer or spaceship or anything like that, and so to some extent it will always rely on the "outside world" for materials. But over time they anticipate starting 256 locations world-wide. It wouldn't be to everyone's liking to choose such a lifestyle, but I don't see why it wouldn't work out for some.

I, for one, am not buying it. In every "system", there are those few who want to rule, or lord over, the majority.

Oh my, I am so sorry that I replied such simly. Just because I didn't know that I can use Google translation to get all your questions.

Now plz let me answer some of your questions.

Good post - the issue is WEALTH... setting an arbitrary on someone's production and then using that as a commodity.. It is selling the SOUL really..

If we put a $$$ value on the soul then manipulation can happen. A SOUL cannot be valued, nor sold..

Capitalism creates a fake illusion than one can VALUE a SOUL.. So there are justifications, over and over, who think's one's worth is this or that..

There is NO WORTH..

Focus on that.. there is no worth..

no value, no selling.. no marketing, no delusion of worth.. focus on that.. worth means some have and some have not.. worth..

on "perceived worth" delusionary markets are created. Folks then jump on the illusion and "play the game".. And they fight tooth and nail for their 401K's or market investment.. FAKE illusion. Fake worth.. delusion to create a perceived shortage in an abundant universe.

Slavery is Capitalism. Is Fascism, IS communism too.. as long as the VALUE for SOUL remains..

Just put that in perspective. Abundance exists. Shortage manipulation is market economy.. IS capitalism... IS communism, is socialism.. Those who control RESOURCES manipulate perceived shortage.. Simple point..

Reality is, resources can be created... Not needing to be found and squandered.. This is where abundance in actual creation happens... But that is a concept way way beyond mentalities who think about only how their 401K is going to give them the illusion of any 'lasting' support..

bahhh...

Hi Bob, sorry for my poor knowleage. I can't understand or reply your questions. Hope you can forgive me. Hugs.

Capitalism is also a giant waste of resources. Meanwhile on a daily basis I notice circumstrances, where the biggest part of intellectual or labour work is spent only

- to harm/disable competitors
- to enslave users and bind them to the product/company
- to ensure further profits far beyound the real values of the producs
- to prevent cheaper technologies from being used
- to be used for military purposes, war, enslavery
- ...

Imagine, where mankind could be today, if we would use our resources for common wealth, not for private profits.
We would be able to live in paradise. Now.

So right.
But the problem is it is not easy for us to get common wealth unless we are living in one community and this community has no private wealth.

i get it what you are saying, no question - it is that one attributes WEALTH which then puts a price on people, commodities, things, and then it allows for SCARCITY manipulation - from have's and have nots.. Abolish the concept of putting a price on someone, or something.. Without WEALTH tags, there are no Soros' or Gates for instance.. Figure out how to focus on abundance is present in the universe, that it is our job to understand how to bring that forth.. If we continue compartmentalizing such and such is worth this or that, we end up with some are "worth more" than others (citing Animal Farm for instance, depicting the communistic order of how it failed...)

What is your thinking of "worth more“， dear Bob?

Dear Xidaijena,

I have a question.
In Western terms I think we would call this kind of model a 'Commune'

People live and work within a self supporting, sharing, barter based community.

Now in China, you have state provision of certain services. The State's ability to provide is a function of the State's ability to raise tax. Can you tell us what levels of provision are provided free to the mass of the people, in terms of Health, Education, Infrastructure et cetera?

The kind of communal living that you advocate is barter based, and achieves a good life style at a far lower rate of consumption of resources, than most models. That is because it is based on sharing.

If people live in this way, it reduces that State's ability to tax them, or reduces the amount of tax. Does the state see this as a challenge to its economic plans?

Many thanks

Yes, this is why China banned our community. They treat us as a threat.

In simple terms people caring and people sharing is what everyone needs to do. Dont understand why we have to complicate things. communism socialism and all the ism are merely labels. Fact is no "ism" can save humanity. People realizing that we are one can.

Sorry, I can't agree with what you say here. I think not every one knows that we are one. Even though you are living in a community ( or eco-villages), you need to solve the relationships among other members. Saying that we are one is one thing, but acting as we are one is another thing. Only you did it that I can agree with what you say.

I once was a communist but have realized that no "ism" or political party will save the world as already stated above. Only on the soullevel this can be solved, pple living a spiritual life connnected to source

Hence both capitalism annd communism are purely matrrialistic in their worldview

We call New Oasis for Life Community as Xuefeng's style communism in China, because in China, only we, Lifechanyuan, can build such a collective and eco community. And the reality shows that we did it.

Thanks for the beautiful pictures, xidiajena! Infinite Love is the ONLY Reality, in my own opinion, & I would say you are living it there in your community!

Hi dear Foxie Loxie, the problem is what Infinite Love is. In my opinion, except the almighty Creator has infinite love, human beings can't have.

Living in my community, I have to learn love myself first and care little about other members' matters.

Capitalism is defined by (a) private property and (b) a free market. Right now, both are heavily curtailed and distorted by the state, who is influenced by agents of a corporatocracy. That's what's happening right now. Some call it crony-capitalism. Only the economically uneducated and ideologists call it capitalism, I'm sorry to say that.

Likewise, only the naive and uneducated dream of a system of global Communism. Did anyone of you read the Communist Manifesto? It says that this egalitarian system should be brought about through despotic interventions upon people's private property. In other words, make people equal through brute force, and once everybody is made equal, people will just love it and suddenly become content and altruistic like never seen before. Eternal peace through total war. Egalitarianism brought about through the wise orders of the Communist elite who's planning and guiding people's lives. Did anyone of you read George Orwell's Animal Farm? It spells it all out.

Regarding this community project, well go for it if you like it. Produce organic, that's great. If you don't want the concept of a traditional family, if you don't want to have children, if you don't like the concept of personal sovereignty, have it your way. Just don't force anybody to live like that as well. It may be good for you, but it's certainly not superior and I would never accept this lifestyle being imposed on me.

Good idea, I like what you are saying. Indeed, just choose what you like or follow your (our own ) heart.

Well said by the others, that no ism can save humanity. In fact isms & systems create more new problems. I've lived in a commune & had my ideal bubble burst by the realities of day to day life & individual egos. So even such a beautiful place like a commune is not a solution IMHO

agree with you, not every one likes commune life. To me, it really needs me to pay more attention to my own business and care less about other members' things.

We can treat others as our family members but we have to respect other members' privacy.

Hi,
I agree with this but what about the evident issue of material consumption & resource limitation. China has lifted a billion people out of poverty , they now have fridges & washing machines etc. The planet cannot sustain the increasing level of consumption.

The pure free market philosophy would I hope address the pollution issue by somehow building the costs of the environmental damage into the product- those that suffered the loss to their air, water & land from contamination would have the legal redress to receive compensation. Those costs would then be built onto the products themselves. That is (kind of) a market based solution to the idea of over consumption.

Reducing environmental impact does not have to mean communism.

"Reducing environmental impact does not have to mean communism."

agree with this sentence. But I think, in order to make Mother Earth peaceful and beautiful again, it seems Lifechanyuan can solve some serious problems.

Yes -- many thanks to all. Xidaijena, I do appreciate you sharing all this.

It has so many connotations and so much historical baggage, and often triggers so many thoughts, feelings and images, that it might be best (safer!) to use another term: maybe something like 'organized communal living'. I do know that this is what you're describing here.

Thank you for your kind suggestion, dear Bill. yes, you are right, in your culture and other countries' culture, I think "organized communal living" is better than the word "communism". But you know, we are Chinese and Guide Xuefeng was a party member of CCP. Guide Xuefeng was rebron by the spirit of the Greatest Creator and then built Lifechanyuan. His goal or dream is to build a true Communism in China and for all the people around the world. Traditional Communism has no belief in God or Buddha. So, many Chinese govenment treated Chair Mao as God. They are atheists. This is also the reason why many of Chinese people are with less faith and honesty.

But Lifechanyuan is different. Guide Xuefeng knows the deep reason that why Chinese people become this and he wants to save more and more Chinese people. So there are more and more honest and faithful chanyuan members appearing.

Only Character can save mankind.

If Jesus, Buddha or any other figure with high moral fiber were the supreme ruler of planet earth, the planet and its citizens would be in much better off in that scenario than a true democratic society of average folk with inconsistent motives.

Hi bearcow, I can't agree with you. I think only programme or good life programme can save mankind. Jesus and Buddha are great teachers. They are sharing the light of the Greatest Creator. But in my eyes, only Lifechanyuan, Only Xuefeng and chanyuan members did create a new life programme for all human benings on Mother Earth. Can you find any good Character person to work without any money and always devote his passion to build a new life model for human beings?

Reducing environmental impact does not have to mean communism.

China is trapping a billion people in poverty. China is the biggest hellhole when it comes to the environment. And it's all sanctioned by the Communist party. The country is literally spilling over with toxins.

In a free market system, anyone who causes any damage to someone's property will be held accountable and has to pay the price. This is unlike what we see today, where corporations often lobby governments to get a free pass while littering the planet.

Overcoming the cronyism of the corporatocracy means making a step towards sustainability. Establishing a free market system means establishing the framework in which each individual and corporation is held accountable for their environmental impact. Exactly what you say. Environmentalism is best served by free markets, cause on a free market scarce goods are more expensive and will thus be spared more than not so scarce goods. But for that to work, there better not be governments and lobbyists, no distortion of prices, no subsidies, no free passes.

If you want to reduce the environmental impact even more, by decree, if you're arguing in favor of telling others how to deal with their property, you have to realize that you're arguing in favor of brute force against people who don't cause any direct harm to you or another. Brute force, just because the person doesn't live like you think it would be good. Now ask yourself if that's really making things better.

This is why China has Lifechanyuan.

The question is that how do people realize that we are one?

I agree that the kind of lifestyle you describe above will awaken our innate nature of caring and sharing which has been dormant due to brainwashing. However it has a part that is of negative brainwashing and that is saying that "only communism can save mankind. Why cant we just say "only caring loving and sharing can save mankind". My take is that since we have been brainwashed to make our innate nature (positive virtues) dormant then maybe we can use the same procedure "positive brainwashing" to make people realize we are one.

" Why cant we just say "only caring loving and sharing can save mankind".

Hi Bubu, because, caring, loving, sharing can not save mankind. Sometimes, we need to be selfish. plz let me share one article written by Xuefeng with you:

”为别人而活的人最自私

雪峰


　　世人历来歌颂那些为别人而活的人，所以，世界充满了谎言和欺诈。

　　那些声称为他人而活的人，都是自私自利的人，都是虚伪的人，都是“罪犯”。

　　每一个事物，每一个生命，必须保持自己的个性，这是上帝创造万事万物的初衷，如果桃树不结桃子，非要为葡萄树活着，本身就活错了，不仅丧失了作为桃树的价值，也是粗暴地干涉了葡萄树的天性和自由。一个人，首先 要爱惜自己，张扬自己的天性，如若不是这样，他就违背了上帝意愿。

　　每一个分子，都会全力维护自己的结构，都必须自私，否则，宇宙就会变回到无极状态，每一个生命，都必须全力维护自己的存在，否则，生命会绝迹。每一个人，都必须首先要保证自己的存活，否则，“天诛 地灭”。

　　事实是，天下根本就没有几个彻底为他人而活的人，骨子里都是为了自己。如果谁声称自己是为别人活着，此人是在撒谎，是在掩饰自己自私的本性。

　　天下有没有为人民而活着的皇帝？没有，一个也没有。

　　天下有没有为子女而活着的父母？没有，一个也没有。

　　基督耶稣，佛陀释迦牟尼是为别人而活着吗？根本不是。

　　作为生命禅院导游，我整天忙忙碌碌为开创生命禅院时代奔波，是为了别人吗？根本不是，我是为了成就自己。

　　只要挖出每个人活着的根，我们会发现，人都是为自己而活着。

　　哪些人喜欢声称自己是为别人而活着？

　　虚伪狡诈的人、无能的人、没有独立意识的人、自私自利的人、大奸大猾的人、想把自己的意志强加于人的人、善于撒谎的人、想控制人的人、不尊重人的人、想把自己的过错和失误推卸给他人的人、想摧残和压榨他人的人 、喜欢干涉他人生活的人，这样的人们，都喜欢声称自己是为他人而活着。

　　让每一个人都活他自己，让每一个人都按照自己的天性活出自己，如此，才能群星灿烂，百花齐放，精彩纷呈，气象万千。

　　为什么说声称自己是为他人而活的人是“罪犯”？

　　一、你无形中在给他人增加精神和心灵的负担，让人感恩戴德，一辈子为你效劳。

　　二、你粗暴地干涉了他人的天性和自由，使人内疚，惭愧，使人的天性难以绽放。

　　三、你扰乱了道的运行程序，使社会无序混乱，使谎言和欺骗风行于世。

　　每个人只有为自己负责，先把自己活好，活出自己的天性，活出自己的风采，社会才会有序，才会祥和，才会温馨。

　　只有为自己负责的人才会为别人负责，只有为自己活着的人才会尊重他人体谅他人理解他人，只有先活好自己的人才会给他人带来开心快乐自由幸福。

　　一个不知道自己是谁，一个自身不完美的人，忌妒、比较、怨恨、埋怨、抱怨、生气、愤恨、喜欢争斗的人，你能为他人带来什么？你怎么为他人生活？一个连自己的生存问题解决不了，连自己的苦恼痛苦化解不了的人，你 能为别人做什么？能为别人活出什么？

　　雪峰提倡人人为自己负责，为自己而活，事事先替自己着想打算，先活好自己，不要先考虑他人的感受，不要为他人而丧失自己，会不会导致社会无序混乱？

　　事实胜于雄辩！

　　生命禅院创办的第二家园生活模式中，近百人在一起生活，人人按照上述规范生活，“不操别人的心，不管别人的事”，“人不求我不助之”，先考虑自己，一年多的实践如何呢？——祥和温馨，井然有序，人人开心，个个 自由，犹如生活在天堂。

　　人要造福，就先活好自己；人要造孽，就先为别人活吧！

The most selfish are those who live for others

Xuefeng

(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)


The world always sings praises for those who live for others, therefore the world is full of lies and deceit. Those who claim to live for others are selfish and hypocritical; they are “criminals”.

Every thing and every life must maintain its individual character. This was the intention of the Greatest Creator when all was created.

It is wrong for the peach tree to live for the grapevine instead of producing peaches, as not only does it lose its value as a peach tree, but it also interferes rudely with the nature and freedom of the grapevine.

To be a human, one should first cherish themself and promote their own nature and personality. If not, they disobey the will of the Greatest Creator.

Every molecule must maintain its structure; it must be selfish or the universe will regress to its random state. Every life must struggle to maintain itself or they would go extinct. Every person must ensure their own survival first or the devil wins!

It is a fact that very few people live completely for others, but for themselves by nature. Anyone who claims to live for others is lying and is concealing their true, selfish nature.

Is there an emperor who lives for the people within his jurisdiction? No, none!

Is there a parent who lives for their children? No, none!

Did Christ Jesus and the Buddha Sakyamuni live for others? No, not at all!

As the guide of Lifechanyuan, I keep myself busy with the creation of the Lifechanyuan era. Do I do it for others? Not at all, I do this for my own achievement. As long as the reason for living is spelled out for everyone, we find that people live for themselves.

What kind of people claim to live for others? Those who are false, crafty, incompetent, and without a sense of independence. Those who are selfish and deceitful want to impose their will on others and those who are good at lying intend to control and disrespect others. Those who put their own faults and blame on others want to use and abuse others and they prefer to interfere with others’ lives. Those are the kind of people who claim they live for others. Let everyone live for themselves and let everyone live upon themselves according to their own nature. In such a situation, the stars will shine brilliantly, the flowers will blossom lively, and the world will be prosperous, diverse, and splendid.

Why do I say those are “criminals” who claimed that they live for others?

Firstly, they burden the spirits and souls of others because people would feel a great deal of gratitude and a need to serve them, perhaps all their lives. Secondly, they rudely interfere with the nature and freedom of others and make them feel guilt and shame, so it becomes impossible for their natures to bloom. Thirdly, they disturb the program running with Tao, create social disorder, and make lies and deception popular.

It is only when everyone is responsible for themselves that they live well by themselves within their own natures and by their own styles that society will be orderly, peaceful, and warm. Only those who can stand responsibility on their own can be responsible for others and only those who are living for themselves will respect others, be considerate of others, and understand others. Only those who live well by themselves will bring pleasure, joy, freedom, and happiness to others.

If you do not know who you are, if you are an imperfect person filled with jealousy, ego, resentment, complaints, anger, and aggression, then what can you possibly bring to others? How can you live for others? If you are unable to even deal with your own issues of life and are unable to smooth away your own trouble and pain, then what can you do for others and how can you live for others?

Xuefeng advocates for everyone to be responsible for themselves first, live for themselves first, consider themselves first, live well by themselves first, and not to consider the feelings of others or lose yourself for them. Would it lead to a social disorder? Facts speak louder than words!

In the second home life pattern founded by Lifechanyuan, nearly one hundred people live together and everyone lives according to the above standard, “Do not bother with others or regard other people’s business” and “I will not help unless help is asked for”. We just consider ourselves first. How has this practice gone on for more than nine years? Everything is in order, everyone is happy and free, and we are living in a peaceful and sociable paradise. People who want to confer benefit on society should live for themselves first and people who want to commit sin should live for others!
