If there’s leaders with enough power to manipulate things to their own end, it never even got as far as communism.
Its also not about “honor”, it’s about empathy. About caring enough about your fellow beings to enjoin efforts to raise everyone up, not just yourself or those you deem worthy.
Whether it is empathy or honor doesn’t really matter. If you wanna say empathy, then we can roll with that. The point is that humanity doesn’t possess enough of it.
They have plenty of it, they’ve just been trained out of using it. Part of that is making the assumption that other people are lesser or not worthy of it because they lack “humanity” by people who want to look down on them for no reason.
I have to strongly disagree here. While it is definitely possible to teach greater/lesser ideologies, and it absolutely does happen, at their core, humans are social creatures prone to forming groups and passing biased judgements on out groups. In groups and out groups form, and competition starts, followed by the mud slinging. It’s not a training, it’s part of human nature. The teaching just accelerates things and pushes people into groups faster and with more vehemency.

Humanity may have enough of it but it is not distributed evenly.
Lmao, this genuinely made me chuckle. I guess let me know when we have enough brain sappers to extract and distribute empathy.

It’s not a training issue. Their brains just don’t work right - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder
