I dont mean reall communism hasnt be tried bullshit I mean that carl marx, fredrich engels, lenin, etc. Were 19th century philosophers grappling with the world as it existed then. You cant read their work and not at least come out the other end less retarded.

These people don't read Das Kapital, though, which almost nobody does. Unless you're really specifically going to be into philosophy of history or get a degree in the subject, or economic theory in general, there probably isn't much point in reading it in its entirety anyway. It is dull and academic and mired in theory and what's worse, most of it is out of date and has been supplanted by reality. The same can be said of the Austrian school but it's at least somewhat closer to modern reality.

These people read, at most, the Communist Manifesto, which doesn't present a full philosophy, it's basically a sales pamphlet for the larger philosophy and meant to convince people of its own correctness, but not academics. It's meant to instill revolutionary concepts in the rank and file type people who go out and do shit.

Feed a bunch of useless fucking troons this and they'll just sit on their asses doing nothing and never even read the main philosophical works anyway, not even Gramsci or the more accessible radicals. They'll just sit around and bitch and demand free shit and shit themselves.

They definitely don't read On the Jewish Question.
 
Every political ideology is great in theory, the test is when it gets into the hands of actual human beings, in which case almost all of them end up being flawed and shitty. You can’t just talk about how “real Communism hasn’t been tried” because it has and humans fucked it up and they would fuck up any future attempt too because almost every political theory is based on some idealized version of humanity that doesn’t exist.

I think it's worth pointing out that Marxism even in theory would be an awful political system, and most early Marxists and adjacent theorists understood that and debated Marx about it. Bakunin famously had a series of strikingly prescient critiques of Marx from a left-wing perspective, where he soundly criticized the idea of a dictatorship of the proletariat and the materialistic utilitarianism of Marx. Both, he felt, would lead to a tiny clique of technocrats treating all of humanity like insects in a hive or replaceable cogs in a machine, cheapening the value of human life and leading to unlimited one-party totalitarianism in the name of ideological purity.

That's exactly what happened.
 
Can't have people being right in C-SPAM.

It is a small miracle Rime still hasn't gotten his bullet to the back of his head. He is some kind of black-pilled fascist, and the only reason he is being kept around is because he is more extreme on climate than the average goon doomsayer.

Besides, there is a difference. OWS was against banks and corporations, while these losers are happy to be the pawns of corporate America. May not be a practical difference, but it is at least a moral one. OWS had a legitimate point, while these guys only have petty grievances.
 
They definitely don't read On the Jewish Question.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT :

"Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world – both the world of men and nature – of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.

The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange...

The social emancipation of the Jew is the emancipation of society from Judaism."

I warned you about Marx bro I told you dog.

Ecofash is kind of a meme ideology but he definitely embodies some kind of ecological totalitarianism. I wouldn't be shocked to find out he pays dues to the Earth Liberation Front or some other yuppie terrorist group. Is he even really right-wing though, or is he a left-authoritarian who's just sociopathic?

Oh, sweet summer child. You have a lot to learn.

I guess I took it at face value when Leftists said they opposed all bigotry, except of course for bigotry against people who worked and were able to pay for semi-nice shit. I figured everyone's got their one thing/group they're irrationally against and gave 'em a pass on that basis, y'know? More fool me...

Karl Marx was incidentally ethnically a Jew but personally a fedora tipping atheist. His anti-Semitism was purely religious and he despised religious (or any other) identities that distracted from class struggle.

Marx was occasionally based (also Jewish ethnically), he even refers at some point in there about the Jews being chimerical, literally talking about shapeshifting in the 1800s.

It's OK when we Marx does it.


"Marx’s racism was not limited to Jews. His contempt for other races is made clear in his enthusiasm for the work of the racist French ethnologist Pierre Tremaux.

Marx wrote to Engels that Tremaux had “proved that the common Negro type is the degenerate form of a much higher one” and that this was “a significant advance over Darwin”.

A further example can be found in Marx’s correspondence with Engels in 1862, saying that his rival “the Jewish Nigger Lasalle” was leaving Britain to return to Germany:

“It is now absolutely clear to me that, as both the shape of his head and his hair texture shows – he descends from the Negroes who joined Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or grandmother on the paternal side hybridized with a nigger.) Now this combination of Germanness and Jewishness with a primarily negro substance necessarily creates a strange product. The pushiness of the fellow is also nigger-like.
