It's more an open spiritual question which was well described, but the series didn't do it justice. Basically, where can you go if you don't know who you are and what you want?

I sympathize with communism because it would be the ideal community if it could actually be done. (Look under "Communists" for more.)


communist society is almost a utopia... it works on paper, however due to corruption and human error, communist governments are often very corrupt and/or disfunctional. don't sympathize communism, it doesn't have feelings.

You can't say that. There's never been a Communist government.

Yes, as you say, it works on paper, and I do believe one day it could work for real.


There is no way to answer either question without conforming to some societal label, purely because that is how we work. We would be nowhere without the capacity to give something a name or put it into a box.

But if you do not know who you are, without falling back on society, how can you define where you are going, and how do you know what society is?

Descartes said "I am what I am."
He also said "I think, therefore I am."

Either way, I am me. I am whoever I want to be.
I want to be whoever I can be.
