All the division we see today is a result of his (arguably intentional) low resolution tribal analysis.
He wasn't dumb.
He deceptive and destructive.
Marx was a great psychologist
He played the ego like nobody before him
He brought divide and rule to its perfection
He convinced people to divide the world into oppressors and oppressed without any regard for individual choices, actions or responsibility
If you thought we had something going on, I'll have to disappoint you...
I usually value your inputs, though.
:) Obviously we aren't going anywhere here.
And that's fine.
If you got hung up on me saying Marx had no understanding of history, you can let it go now. I explained twice what I meant, asked twice if you agreed
I don't see any benefit in going on.
If an idea is wrong on the level of concepts, the details are of no importance...
You don't have to study marxist theory in its entirety and put it in the context of its time and place to understand that it is not furthering freedom, but destroying it.
Look, if it means a lot to you I'll read it when I get to it.
You still haven't answered my question by the way.
If you agree that he was wrong about the future I don't care much about the history he based his miscalculation on, frankly.
Ok. I'll give it a go.
My problem with Marxism is that it disregards individual rights and misunderstands what exploitation is and where it is coming from.
Watch this to understand what I mean:
Afterwards we talk, alright?
Do I find in those pages how he wasn't entirely wrong about the future?
If not I see no reason to read it...
Didn't I already explain what I meant by that?
His predictions on how capitalism would destroy itself were entirely wrong.
Instead of enriching just the few and leading to revolution it lifted the world out of poverty...
Do you disagree with this?
I offered to @22825 to start the discussion by looking at what we can agree on, and see at what point we depart, but so far no reply.
I'm describing the psychological workings of what I see as a deceptive ideology.
I offered to discuss details, you refused.
I lay down my view of what that ideology in its entirity does on the level of concepts and you call it a strawman..
Fine with me.
Now would be a good time to return every single like and branch you scammed by stealing someone else's identity.
Or this will come back to haunt you...

Good. Corruption is the enemy all should unite against.
I almost envy you for your optimism & sincerely hope you are right
It's just that even if all of this were true - and it could be - I can't help but be extremely suspicious about FEMA taking over,
no matter what the excuse is.
Isn't that what we feared?
Maybe she's looking for her laptop
Why isn't what huge news?
Are you referring to the FBI report on her family?
Yes. Why try and have a society with people who have opposed views on literally everything?

I guess the fork is already happening, just not geographically, but by those opting out, creating a new chain.
Yes. Why try and have a society with people you hate/fear or just don't want to deal with?
Fork!
