Westernism

The opposite side of orientalism where instead of westerners glorifying or obsessing of eastern culture to the point it becomes a stereotype (like japan with anime) not knowing the faults of the countries like laws and work conditions.

Glorification of the Western world despite its own faults too, past events like world colonization of countries, slavery, genocide, and never went through the harsh living in the world and even Eastern Europe during ww2 and the iron curtain.

There is also another form called slavophile which instead of the western world it is the the former soviet union and other slavic nations.

Orientalism is to Japanese or Korean cultural obsession as Westernism is to British or French cultural obsession.

westernization

The culture that goes along with the capitalist system and those that consume in it. It mainly consists of douchebags with phones, dumbfuck optimistic yoga bitches, controlling, but caring and loving parents, "politically-correct" "ethicists", and nerds. There's a lot more too it, since many of the people have a diverse array of psychological problems and childhood extravagancy and "rational" people who know nothing about philosophy. This is one of two atheistic cultures that branched off from Asian and eastern European atheism and one turned to hedonism and the other turned to rationalism. It's a shame that the communists lost. They had ideas that were ahead of their time. The capitalists had more money because the pursuit of hedonism means the pursuit of wealth, while the communists only got the wealth they needed. Traditional cultures base their society on beliefs, and without deliberation, a culture with beliefs will be less likely to have those with radical ideas, like capitalism and communism. Capitalism favors the majority's human needs and desires while leaving out everybody else and nonconformists. Communism is based on what our needs are and follows rationality and demands total conformity. Capitalization is like 'eh, take it or leave it'.

Average citizen: Pfft, I'm not run by a hedonistic, greedy government. It just works and I don't know how it works but it works for me.

Communist: Westernization is flawed. It succumbs to the minority while cultivating the majority.

Objective observer (isd'kn'): Both westernization and communism could be perfect societies if they provide for the needs of everybody. Capitalism makes its majority dumb and it's minority extremely wealthy (those that produce and those that consume). Communism, on the other hand conforms to what society needs. Capitalism creates a culture while communism has little culture, it works like mechanics.
