When there's a red dawn,
A red dusk isn't too far away.
Mars got competition
We're the red planet now
It isn't selfish to claim full control over our body and property, to insist on our individual rights.
Selfishness is to claim control over other people's bodies and property and to infringe on their rights, even in the name of some supposed greater good.
Whatever ideology we subscribe to,
it better be able to answer the following question:
Under which circumstances is it acceptable that individual rights be violated
- and by whom?
If this question is a problem for a given ideology: bad sign.
Your inability to imagine something doesn't mean it can never exist. It only means that you won't be involved in making it happen.
Reality is so full of beauty, meaning and mystery that it is almost unbearable.
Escaping into illusion of the mind, future and past, is the easy way out.
We haven't been kicked out of paradise,
We constantly escape from it - voluntarily.
An ethical way to silence someone is to pay them to shut up
If you don't like a certain Twetcher, for example, you can offer them Bitcoin to stop posting
My silence on Twetch, for example, can be rented for $1200 for one entire month.
February available.
And with class don't mean the Jews,
to make that clear.
He was as much an anti-semite as he was a racist... Self hatred is a terrible thing.
I'm using my own words.
On a level of a certain abstraction.
These are my opinions.
Do with them as you wish.
I'll keep voicing them.
If you can pack your views on Marxism in a couple of Twetches, I'll be glad to read it.
Marx is essentially a magician who took psycological control of entire segments of society in order to make them do what's necessary to get the whole of society to bend over.
I have no doubt he had 'class consciousness' and worked very much for his class.
Respect where respect is due:
Marx (or whoever ordered him to write this controlled opposition ideology) was a great psychologist.
His work displays a brilliant understanding of the ego and of how to transform individual ego ino a collective one.
But what really turned me away from marxism and collectivism of any kind was the understanding that individual rights matter.
Marxism is unethical.
It is a way to divide people in order to fleece them. It makes people do unethical things.
Promotes theft.
It is absurd to such a degree that I doubt Marx believed it himself.
He was just tricking people to hand over all they got to achieve complete control over society.
Promising freedom and delivering control.
Marxism is a way to centralize all resources in the hands of a tiny elite while claiming to be all about equality, justice, love and peace.
The idea that we can get rid of the state by handing over our rights and resources is the most absure idea ever.
With age, luckily, the absurdity of his arguments usually becomes clear.
But as a young person who doesn't like the status quo, marxism is offered as the only alternative and therefore embraced.
Today I think marxism was created by the ruling class.
I sent you a talk of Hoppe since apparently you don't want to defend any point of Marx, which is understandable.
He gives a good overview of Marx.
I read the manifesto and the capital in their original versions when I was young and was quite impressed.
Good.
Time to be your own bank.
"Everything wrong with my life is someone else's fault."
It's a brilliant trick to make people think they are being liberated when they are in reality being enslaved.
Which point Marx made do you want to discuss?
Give me a precise argument he made with which you agree and let's talk about it.
