Stefan moleneux - the Truth About Karl Marx
a very good listen!
And in our own Rat Party over the last 40+ years.
I’ve seen material depicting an interest Marx had in satanism.
Capitalism is but a tool.
What it’s used to glorify makes all the difference in the world. “Use the mammon of unrighteousness to make friends for yourself, that they may receive you into heavenly dwellings.”
Marx presented a false dichotomy. He asked whether capitalism was bad, and answered yes.
That’s the wrong question to ask. The question to ask is whether, and how, capitalism can be used to good or bad ends.
Ayn Rand, an atheist herself, managed to come up with a robust defense that capitalism lent itself very well to good ends. She asked obvious questions such as, would we rather serve at the crack of a whip, or at the offer of a dollar?
I’m unabashedly Christian, but wanted to make a comment about how badly put questions (the LDS Joseph Smith’s question about “which human institution is the real church” is another such question) will lead us into terrible answers.
Marx was a loser who couldn’t manage his finances and blamed The Man for it.
It might have helped if he’d taken a bath once in a while.
He’d be right at home as a professor in one of our elite universities.
Karl Marx smelled bad, and lived in his parents basement.
I also suspect that Jenny von Westphalen was a very abused wife. Always seemed to put up with Marx’s constant unemployed status; Engels was Karl’s only friend who bailed him out financially (rich dad).
As long as there is an exchange of goods and services for other goods and services you have capitalism.
Socialism/communism is just a scam to reestablish hereditary aristocracy that was the norm throughout history until 1776.
He was a lazy piece of garbage.
He was also a parasite, living off the family where he was living.
Yep, every Marxist I’ve ever know has been a hypocritical, narcissistic freeloader.
A lot of people may be surprised to learn that Marx was a globalist Free Trader.
And the movement he gave rise to has been responsible for the deaths of sixty million or so people over the years - also not very nice......
