      Was Marx seriously a that kind of a terrible parent? Damn. Everytime I hear of him I grow to hate him more and more.

      A yes, the fine tradition of trying to discredit leftie activists by digging into their personal life.

      MLK, Einstein and Charlie Chaplin had to deal with this shit during the red scare too.

      If they don’t find enough shit to stick they’ll pretend you’re moderate, if they can’t pretend you were moderate they slander you by misrepresenting your points.

      The point still stands whether you like any wingle leftie activist or not.

      Anti-communists and most leftists have one thing in common: they have never read Marx and they are trying to discuss his works.

      “utopian fantasy stories” is not what Marx wrote like at all. 90% of Marx intelectual production is an exhaustive analysis of capitalism mechanisms

    6. Yesterday Tankie memes, today making fun of Marx.

      Remember children, tankies are fans of the USSR, Leninism, Stalinism and maybe Maoism. There are lots of Marxists who aren’t tankies.

      The reality is that authoritarian communism is bad, as is authoritarian socialism. Unfortunately just about all socialist systems have to turn authoritarian. This was discovered by the Austrian school of economists in the 1930s.

      You see, Communism is supposed to be about class struggle between the working class (proletarians) and the upper class (Bourgeois). But the movers and shakers of the revolution (including Marx himself) almost always come from the upper middle class (the petit bourgeois).

      In most societies, the most effective people (the people with the strongest combination of experience and education) are the middle class. And while many of the leaders of the revolution come from the middle class (Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemburg, Mao, Castro, Che, etc) their most implacable opponents also come from the middle class. The middle class doesn’t want to lose their property and is far more likely to fight for it than the upper class. So after the revolution crushes the upper class, it comes after the property of the middle class. Who then stop cooperating with the revolution. At this point either the revolution fails or has to become authoritarian to gain enough power to suppress the middle class.

      That’s why communists always have to declare the middle class to be class enemies, like Stalin and the Kulaks, Mao and the landlords, etc.

      Marx didn’t realize that the most implacable foes of the revolution were guys just like himself, just on the other side.

      “If only Karl had made Capital, instead of just writing about it,” – Henriette Pressburg, Karl Marx’s mother.

      didn’t he say he spent more money on tobacco while writing The Capital than earnings he made from selling the book?

    12. Yeah just ignore all his work on political economy and focus on one pamphlet he co-wrote like a brainwashed proletarian bootlicker.
