>predicted the future>failedWere they wrong about something or did we not understand them?
They forgot that capitalists aren't complete morons and would counterattack to not get killed. Bismarck created the foundations of modern welfare state explicitly to keep socialism at bay.
>>18050153they naively thought stupid goycattle wagecucks had it in them to beat their masters
They simply assumed that the entire world was as civilised as Germany, England and France, the only countries they were familiar with.Many many leftists nowadays make the same mistake
>"What do you mean, the sex was bad? I spent 6 hours doing it!"Total economic idiocy doomed marx from the start.
>>18050262All cultures are equal and hecking valid, chud
>>18050273Sorry but the human sacrifices will stop.
>>18050275Tell me more.
>>18050153>Were they wrong about somethingno
>>18050153Two Jew Fag Commies sharing a "pleasant afternoon in the park together"........NOT GAY!!!!Fooking hell. Leftoids unironically look up to these freaks. LOL! Oh and Marx hated fags, niggers and women and insisted every member of the "Proletariat" be armed. Tell that to your favorite Antifoid, the next time you see them. LOL!
>>18050179Only a cow would ever conceive of themselves as a "laborer" with "Masters". Jews are natural slaves, so it's no wonder this is how they see themselves. White Men do not. We are the "Masters of the Universe". The idea of having a "Master" is literally inconceivable. As a Jew, you'll never know that feeling. Not once. Not ever.
>>18050153>EconomistsAs reliable as Astrology and Psicology
>>18050644He said, while most of their pink skinned kin have to work 9-5 hours, five days a week, for the cited natural slaves
>>18050790Then why do all the natural slaves want to have "pink skin" too ;) "Masters" that want nothing more than to look like their "slaves". Very pathetic. Very Jewish. NONE of you will EVER be WHITE ;) LOL!
>>18050790Stoopid slaves.....Now Doc, give me a "slave" nose, pretty blonde "slave" hair, a nice whiteboi "slave" husband, and nice "slave" neighborhood to live in and "slave" schools to send my kids too. LOL! Keep on COPIN'
>>18050262Tell me more about this “Socialist Germany” and about how it is still around today? Surely, this socialist Germany was a massive success according to you and it didn’t crumble and all the elites didn’t flee to Chile so as not to go to prison.
The state fucks me more than any business ever did.
Selective quoting distorts what they really meant.
>>18050153>predicted the futurelmao these niggas were predicting imminent failure and collapse of capitalism back when 70% of the population didn't have electricity yet
most of his fans and haters have never read them and its so painfully obvious.even then, just try to wonder why every global power tries to fuck up any uprising socialist nation
>Workers of the word, unite.One of the most inspiring messages ever said.
>>18050644You either work a 9-5 with a boss that controls your life, or are an itinerant contractor who relies on begging employers to hire you.You have many masters.
>>18050153The thing he misunderstood was that peasants uniting in rebellion during feudal times wasn't something that was going to happen under capitalism. That was basically his dream, a Worker Jacquerie. A big reason is the breakdown of social classes that happened with capitalism. In the middle ages your nobles often had basically nothing in common with their serfs. Many spoke French or Latin or obscurantist court dialects of the vernacular far more fluently than they spoke the language of the masses. The rituals and culture of the courts and noble caste were just totally different from the peasants. And the legal system enforced this difference totally. Under capitalism this changed. Many of the wealthiest people were former peasants that were either born geniuses or just lucky. Many old nobles were rapidly downwardly mobile. This basically broke down the cultural barrier between the rich and poor, or at least significantly cracked it open. And this gap hasn't reformed yet. Consistently economic mobility has stayed fairly high and turnover rate in wealth is constant.At that point the ability for the workers to form a united front against the capitalist class was permanently wrecked. Culture is the strongest uniting force between people. The loss of an obvious cultural division between rich and poor heavily damages communist organizing efforts, but it empowers nationalists. Which fits modern politics.
>>18052481Marxism doesn't call for socialist nations. It calls for the inevitable global revolution, for which any means are acceptable, including Capitalism. Lenin enacted a mixed economy. Stalin kept it for a few years before he decided to crush the Kulaks.
>>18052549In Europe the old money and noble class were able to hold onto power longer than in the US, so he could be justified in thinking that the New Boss would be the same as the Old Boss and history could repeat itself. But by the turn of the century Europe had basically caught up to the US in terms of the breakdown of traditional social class structure. WW1 finalized that.
1. They didn't entirely fail, as they both are probably in the top 5-10 most important economic thinkers in history2. A lot of what they wrote/said/theorized/put into motion is so common-place now, that we take it for granted, like it's always been there. 3. A lot of what we think about Marx in particular comes from other people who used him as a stepping stone long after he died. Two people calling themselves Marxists can both disagree on a wide range of ideas4. They were almost right. Russia went full Communist, Germany almost did, and so did France. UK kinda, and eve the USA was getting there5. The most important one: capitalism is very good at placating people if the entertainment and comforts are cheap, and if the workers have just enough to stay satisfied. The exploitation of workers just shifted to other parts of the world. All it takes is 1, 2 or 3 well organized worker's protests in the giga-factorys in China and India, and the entire world will basically halt to a standstill. It's not a matter of if, but when....And for that, they are correct, that the worker's really do hold all the power, if they ever were to unite
>>18052549I call this an illusion.
>>18052527Would say those type of masters would disappear when that system is abolished, and if there is no master..
>>18052527Not if you work for yourself and are DEBT FREE....... ;>)
>>18050153>what do you mean you dont see yourself as a slave to your boss?Lel, I hope commies all die. I work because it feels good, I'm very close to 100% independent from the state and will continue to do so>inb4 what if they come for youI shoot them, and if I die defending myself I die, simple as.
>>18052463100%. not 70.
>>18051494DDR was the most successful Eastern Bloc country, but it was still working under a puppet government imposed by Russia.Had they been a fully sovereign nation, they would have fared better, especially since the point of Stasi and the Wall was to ensure compliance with the Warsaw Pact and not to benefit the country itself
>>18052566They provided a counterfactual to capitalism which is essential to balance excesses. Everybody has their own local conditions to debate, but you need both sides of the argument available. Once you get to Leninism it becomes much more than a counterfactual to capitalism and none of what I said applies.
>>18050153This guy was such a loser that no one in his own town, like Mill, had even heard of him.Marx and the missies also lived off of Mommy & Daddy's money their whole life, whilst also living entirely beyond their means, so Mrs. Marx was constantly having to pawn the family china to her fellow Jews.Mrs. Marx was especially fond of hosting white-glove dinner parties for the "upper crust" and "elites" in town, which kept them perpetually broke too. At one point, it got so bad, she told poor Karl that she was afraid they may have to sell the house and "move in among the Proletariat" themselves..........Parish the thought! Of course, her folks bailed them out in the end. Very Communist ;) Oh and she, and everyone around him, noted how much he physically stank all the time and her favorite little dig was to call him "The Moor" because he was so dirty and swarthy. Kinda anti-semitic, if you ask me.
