The fatal flaw of Marx was assuming that the proletariat (wage workers) would be an intellectual, courageous and revolutionary class. They proved through the 20th century to be anything but.

All major revolutions happened because of the peasants (who Marx despised), there has never been a revolution or anything "radical" that has ever happened in a center of wage workers.

Looking back, one wonders how Marx thought this class of mercenary and pleasure seeking scumbags could ever be anything. Peasants were revolutionary because these people felt a strong sense of justice to their community, wage workers don't have communities, they're basically prostitutes, something that is eager to be used, abused and thrown away.
>>
Marx didn't think peasants and workers were intellectuals. They needed intellectuals to lead them. Wage workers aren't actually revolutionary because they need wages to live. Peasants are revolutionary because they have crops that they can easily take over and or withhold.
>>
The proletariat class rose up in October 1917, proving Marx right.
>>
>>18446803
Absolutely not, the 1917 revolution was a peasant revolt. The amount ofpeople who actually fought and bled for the Bolveshiks that were wage workers is miniscule, its like 1%. P

Then how did they win so many civil wars?

as much as I think Marx was a degenerate I must admit he was right about this.

They haven't won any.
>>
>>18446795
Wage workers in Europe and America had strong unions in the early mid 20th century before deindustrialization, they just didn't commit to violent revolutionary action like the retarded peasants. Lasalle won, Eurocommunism won
>>
>>18446813
Complete bullshit, they HAD strong unions and then gave it all up in one 1980s summer because Margarete Thatcher offered them discounted council homes.

They literally sold their souls and childrens future for a very temporary gain that would kill their grandchildren. That's not very "class conscious" (another bogus Marx idea).

Please, read a history book you fucking brown illiterate moron
>>
>>18446795
The Bolsheviks weren't driven by peasants you retard, the only reason peasants tepidly supported them was because they hated the White movement more. Once the Whites were out of the way anti-Bolshevik activity exploded in the Russian countryside.

What impels NEETS without any material possessions, family, wife and children to defend private property (wich they do not have) and "family values" (wich they also do not have). Why do they go against their own self interest and reality?
>>

Communism historically has not been good at producing treats. Take away goyslop and vidya from a NEET and they will die.

The industrial wage workers did rise up, they just happened to be against communism. It happened in Poland in the 1980s.
>>
Communism is a utopian philosophy that believes the world would be a better place without the state, money or even classes. It is luddism on steroids.
>>
>>18446892
Why would a NEET support communism when capitalism already gives what they need to survive?
Communism would just mean they would starve to death because communists don't even know how food production works
North Korea still depends on the UN just to feed itself lmao
>>
>>18446825
You're not disproving his point, retard
The Soviet Union was 80% peasantry
None of those groups were the majority at any point of the civil war
>>
>>18447091
You're a legitimate idiot if you think the bolshevik ranks were a reflection of russia's overall class structure

ESL, why do you think he called it a peasant revolt
You can't even read nigger
>>
>>18447107
You do know peasant revolts need peasants to be a significant component of it, saar?
>>
>>18447110
You do know the party is separate from the people actually doing the fighting, retard?
Lenin's entire theory of revolution was that a party intellectuals needed to lead the masses.
>>
>>18447120
You do know the bulk of the 'peasants' in the bolshevik movement were deserters that weren't fighting for their right to a decent patch of land in a village they hadn't seen in two years right

My dad was raised in a working class family, he was kicked at 16, attended trade school and became a tradesmen.
He read novels and prided himself as an intellectual of sorts, reading marxist texts, participating in unions and strikes
Idk what happened to these kinds of working class people
I think him being an immigrant probably played a large role in it
>>
>>18446795
plot twist: wage workers don't support marxism _because_ they are not that stupid.
Seriously, only a crooked "intellectual" can believe this nonsense about common sharing. No honest working class man (OR a woman) will buy this retardation as the know first hand that THEY would not exert labor to share its fruits with others. It's a total fucking idiocy only a career neet could came up with.

The "proletariat" can be broken into two groups.
>labor aristocracy
Will never revolt because they're too comfortable. Why change the system that got them two cars, a house, etc?
>actually downtrodden workers
Will never revolt because they're too poor to have time or inclination to form unions, organize, or read theory

Marx's idea that there's this mass group of urban workers who both have enough agency and intelligence to understand and oppose the system and that they want to despite benefitting from it was always naive optimism.

midwit post
no set containing more than two anything can be broken down into two non-intersecting subsets in the real world

Communists think that if you hand the state over to small group of psychopaths who are free to rape, murder, kidnap, imprison and torture whoever they wish in the name of "class warfare" this will inevitably lead to the abolition of the state itself through the hegelian poopoo-peepee subulation of the immanent.
Communists are some of the dumbest people imaginable.

The fatal flaw of Marxism is goyim are real. Lefties are goyim, their boomer parents are goyim.
The sole workers state to ever exist was Nazi Germany where actual workers took over the state from the Bourgeois middle class conservatives and the Aristocratic Monarchists.
Slavs will seethe
Jews will seethe
The future belongs to whatever group can wield marxist leninism against organized jewry and leftist degeneracy.

At the end of the day, the Communist Ideal, the true Marxist vision for the future was something like what Aarvoll is doing, that is literally verbatim what Marx described was the final end state of humanity's history with technological and economical progress.
It was Aarvolls return to the Land.
