This is pretty good but it's too quaint for the 21st century schizoid men. How are you supposed to magically seize the means of production if the entire process is opaque and completely obscure to the average worker? How are you supposed to effect le epic revolutionary change without being forced into homelessness because you can't afford rent due to not working
>>
>>25292333
honestly after reading a few works by marx i don't think his ideas are reasonably possible in the modern world. especially stage 2 communism, when i read about that i didn't see any way it could ever be implemented without modern society completely collapsing into anarchic chaos and poverty first. but then again it feels kind of like that's happening to a degree now, so who knows.

this is why marxism is for eternal losers, any half intelligent person can play the rules of modern times. these retards just want to shoot heroin and have it be paid by billionaires.

Except the millions and millions who are born into abject poverty and have no chance of social mobility. Oh wait, they are subhumans according to morons like you.

You can't? Marxism only exists on the internet, it's a LARP ideology
Anytime you find yourself in some boring semantic argument (all they can do) just ask them when the revolution is happening

There is no magic political structure that can mold a prosperous and stable society out of poor quality genetic stock

Post-hoc weak justification for already existing "magical" political structures. But thanks for proving my point.

I know that back in the day communism and socialism meant you either work or face the wall. How did the shift happen to modern leftists thinking they'll be state sponsored artists?

You are a moron. Humans are cooperative as well as competitive. Communism is when the popular masses crush the degenerates that float to the top. The rich will have their lives taken away and raped. It's destiny. The kid fuckers who need wealth and Jews to protect them will be wiped from the earth.

I always had this thought like what are they seizing in modern times for the most part? Servers? The computers? I guess you can convert some office spaces into housing or something

That's a skill issue. It's not our fault you suck at life. Just kill yourself if life is too hard. Or just chimp out, like every left-wing retard so we can send you out, okay.

>>25292333
The transition to whatever comes after this will probably be like the transition to capitalism itself - changes in technology and social developments that sneak up on us and suddenly transform everything. I don't think Marx is right that post-capitalism will be any good, though. Everything else so far has been shit why will this be any different?
>>
>>25293190
Because of Hegelian dialectic.

>>25292333
In principle, I like the idea of workers owning the means of production and sublating state and citizens, but what I have always been troubled by is how the state is suppose to "wither away"? I would love for there to be a proletariat revolution, but the prospects look grim. It seems like the average worker just wants convenience
>>
>>25293422
The workers owning the means of a production was such a stupid idea that Lenin abandoned it for taylorism. I'm more troubled by the fact at how historically illiterate the average communist was because they seem to have no clue on how their beliefs work in practice.
>>
>>25293426
>The workers owning the means of a production was such a stupid idea that Lenin abandoned it for taylorism
The problem is really a matter of scaling. Cooperatives can work on a small scale, but large-scale industry would overly complicate a purely democratic workspace. Like I said, the prospects are grim

Nigga, just buy some stocks and stop bitching online geez
>>
>>25293429
This whole framework is wrong because it misses the forest for the trees
Most people just want cheap food, housing and cars
These are things that are very possible to achieve with technology and economic incentives that encourage people to make and build shit
>>
>>25293473
>Most people just want cheap food, housing and cars
Hence the "convenience" I was talking about
>>
>>25293190
I agree. The crux would be China and coops in western countries. If enough people are impressed by China and the coop of Western countries can prove that they are more efficient than private companies, socialism will emerge through not a revolution by some other war that by extension empowered the coops due to their hypothetical superiority efficiency, if they don’t just emerge naturally through shifting social forces without a war.
>>25293473
This is also true. Capitalism is efficient, and has done a lot of good, if socialism proves itself to be more efficient like Marx claims, then it will arise naturally. As for now, the USSR failed because it was inefficient, so it’ll be a while for socialism to be adopted since there really is no belief in the standard bearer of the ideology to make the average person’s life better.
>>
>>25293422
>how the state is suppose to "wither away"?
We've already seen that it never does. The powerful do not give up their privileges voluntarily.
Every revolution just installs a new clique of bosses. Every attempt at communism results in crushing authoritarianism.

I make good money, have lots of skills, and I still think that our system is not sustainable. I dream of a better future for everyone.

>>25293912
It has developed the west and now even the global south, improved living standards and made technology that made everyone’s lives better. Wether or not we should discard it now is a different debate, but it has historically done a lot of good.

>Capitalism = technology
Dumb take

>>25292333
I guess read volume 2 and 3.
Das Kapital is not about seizing the means of production with force.
It's about Kapital internals contradictions. Constant Capital that cannot reproduce itself as the contradiction between valorization and devalorization intensifies. You do not need to seize a fortress that is crumbling under it's own weight.

Good/bad are value judgments and Marx himself suggested that Capitalism was a necessary stepping stone, but an imperfect system that would fail under its own contradictions.
