Well, the NYT is officially out of the closet now.
Another reason for NOT celebrating Cinquo de Mayo.
Without Marx there would never have been Hitler.
A bourgeois socialist is that like a fully-clothed stripper?
Marx was undisciplined. The rest of him was a result of it.
It’s been tried and tried and tried and marxism fails every time. How many people have to die? Over one hundred million already. Is that not enough? Yet idiots still believe it is the path to utopia. It is not. It is the path to hell.
Karl Marx spent a lot of time in British libraries reading Adam Smith. Why? Because he wanted to know all about capitalism so that he could figure out how to smash it to pieces.
“Marxs conviction that capitalism has an inbuilt tendency to destroy itself remains as prescient as ever.”
To add to this delicious itony, the article was wirtten by a South Korean!
(Well, he was probably desperate for a check so it had to be an article the NYTimes would like...)
Isn’t it interesting that the marketing people have made pseudo-holidays out of the birthdays of Karl Marx (Cinco de Mayo) and Lenin (Earth Day)?
The only thing I’ll be celebrating on Saturday is Derby Day.
Ah, the tired old myth of stateless communism, or how all these Marxtards manage to delude themselves that the various gulag states weren’t exactly what their revolution was to produce.
The revolution never stops because it represents a rebellion against human nature, not just human culture. Said nature being entirely unsuited to stateless fantasies. But recall that Marx was enthusiastic about Darwin and realize that if there is natural selection then so too could there be unnatural selection to breed Man-like communist brings who though they shared physical appearance with humanity that could not live en masse as stateless communist they would not share the the same spirit, or have the same humanity.
Untold generations of soviet States, of gulags and every oppression imaginable to replace men — or as C.S.Lewis might have said: to Abolish Man — were just what Marx would approve of.
Along the way things like Lysenkoism weren’t weird missteps but more of the same, deriving madness from madness this ideology sought to make socialist nature to go with socialist man ... a fake nature for a fake humanity.
Marx was hip to the horrors he would spawn. He might have thought they would be achieved easier, but he knew that untold tyrannies had to happen before his materialistic fairy story could even have a chance at happening.
What a crock of crap. Marx died before the book was done and never did get around to detailing how communism would work and Engles wasn't smart enough to finish the book with the answers. History is strewn with the wreckage of societies that have tried communism, from New Harmony to modern-day Venezuela, and it simply won't work because a free man only expends effort when he feels that effort is justly rewarded.
Conservatives will recognize the Porta Nigra in the logo of Regnery Books. The Regnery family is from Trier.
The societies of ants, termites, and bees are examples perfect communist societies. Each member of the society knows it's place in the society, and contributes exclusively to the success of that society, programmed by instinct to dedicate it's life to the success of the society.
"Unfortunately," humans and their feelings towards their offspring just don't allow for a perfect communist society.

Im not reading this Shiite, boy. But yeah, Marx was onto something. Great tool. Almost everything in the commie goals has been achieved. Been proven not to work as a way to govern, but that doesnt stop power hungry relics to use it for their own gain, again and again.
Marx was a social, financial and political parasite, not a member of “the working class”. At least Ho Chi Minh was once a dishwasher in France.( He later got a job as a communist mass murderer and destroyer of societies - sounds like some of our Castro/Chavez loving Democrats, in training).
Tomorrow the NY Times will find some halfassed Philosophy professor to expound on how great Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Ho, and the Kim Family, along with the Nazis (Adolf, Himmler, Heydrick, Mengele etc), were great portenders of Planned Parenthood.
Oh hell this is an opinion piece opinions are like arse ho’s everybody got one !
This bunk considering socialism has killed and is still killing millions
“Marxs boundless intellectual enthusiasm.”
Daddy-o Karl Marx “was right” it’s just that “real Communism has never been tried”.
Let’s see another 100,000,000 humans slaughtered and another billion enslaved giving it a go, right?
Sheesh.
