Explanation: Marxism-Leninism is a fictional ideology invented by Joseph Stalin. Anarcho-Capitalism is a fictional ideology invented by Murray Rothbard. Soulism, contrary to popular perception, is a coherent ideology practiced by actual people who (unwillingly) live in the real world. In My conversations with Indigenous Australians, I’ve learned Soulism bears a remarkable similarity to the metaphysical views of certain Aboriginal nations, especially the Tiwi people, which have been stable and which have guided entire societies over many thousands of years.

    “This is true, and this is false - source: me?”

    The paper doesn’t seem to be credited? Anyways, ideology is inherently fictional as it is an ideal, not reality. It’s theories on how a society could function.

    If Soulism is not a theory on how society could function then is it not just a description of how a society functions?

    It feels as if this is an argument that soulism is “better” but if so then it’s trying to compete in fields ideology is not attempting to compete

    What even makes an ideology fictional? Do you think there were never any ML practitioners? How is pointing to the inventor proof of fictionalilty?
