Which works from the communist canon have you actually read and where do you disagree with them?
>>
The German Ideology
disagreement: atheism
>>
>>25401762
I read one chapter from the german ideology, one chapter from Marx’s critique of bakunin, one chapter from Lukasc’s history and class consciousness, one chapter from lenin’s state and revolution, a few articles by stalin, one chapter from mao’s book on contradiction, and probably some other random bullshit.
Stalin seemed the most rational and least dogmatic to me. Historical materialism I broadly agree with but is taken too dogmatically. “Dialectics” as in Mao is straight up retarded idealist tier nonsense.
The idea that class contradictions can be resolved via anything except a purely hypothetical post scarcity techno-utopia is retarded as humans will conquer and rule other humans whenever the opportunity arises. The State is also the most fundamental form of “class” conflict, not merely an organ of it or whatever. Chartalism is the correct economic theory and “value” doesn’t exist as such.

On the jewish question.

I'm not if I disagree with anything per se. Except maybe the stereotyping of the jews
>>
I read the first chapter of The Capital and I don't disagree with anything. I'm in the middle of From Utopian Socialism to Scientific Socialism and so far I don't have anything to disagree with. Though it may not count as much as the more theoretical works.

Ive read some Althusser aside from Marx, I think he denies agency in a normative rather than descriptive sense.
>>
>>25401849
So you disagree with the whole thing?

Capital, vol. 1-3. I really liked the books, but volume 3 was pretty rough, volume 2 was pretty boring and significantly more difficult than volume 3 or 1, especially the last two chapters
>>

Just the part where the end where he starts rambling about jews. Kinda strange part in an otherwise phenomenal work.

>appropriate digits

He rejected notions of it entirely beyond verbal or written claims. You don't have any inherent concept of it, you basically are just born a subject and your actions are entirely socially driven. Theoretically once you form some kind recognition sequence with an ideology you develop the illusion of agency in the sense you believe you act autonomously. The apparatus involved is usually seeking to reinforce a dominant class interest.

>this is where Althusser can quickly turn into an elitist or a sleeper.

I don't remember the exact criterion he mentions but he goes from just about anything being an apparatus to roughly 4 or 5 that matter based on a practical litmus. He also intentionally frames his own return to the concrete as subjective. This was likely to avoid notable pitfalls at the time, but it also links identity to ideology. This argument has some extreme ramifications, like even complete luddites, isolated tribals, etc can still be viewed as extentions of the state. On one side this is a great equalizer and on the other it opens the door to secret agency since Althusser has basically now pinned this notion to even post capitalist states.

>if althusser was right then you might want to learn to enjoy total isolation.
>if althusser was wrong then he goes down alone.

His extreme positions on this were likely to protect others while still allowing him to criticize policies and leadership, which he viewed as a threat in most cases. His ideas are still widely viewed with internal resistance and scepticism.

Marx wasn't an atheist promoter. You misunderstood him.
He said that atheism is useless, as it, in itself, doesn't lead to social transformation.

>>25401762
1844 manuscripts, critique of the Gotha program, on the origin of family, socialism, scientific and utopian, on the jewish question, the housing question (Engels), and Das Kapital volume 1, 2, 3.
I agree with anything that Marx said, except that proles will most likely not take arms and overthrow the Capital with force. Instea, the 21st century will be a long decay of Capitalism, crumbling under it's contradiction valorization/ devalorization, and solutions will be found progressively to morph the mode of production into one that is not based on surplus value accumulation.
If i had to make an intuitive guess, i would say that the economy in 50 years will be a giant monopoly with loosers, winners, but not necessary two distinct class like we have today, or the distinction will go to fade progressively.

I never see any communists discuss race realism. This seems like an important topic if you're going to try and segment people based on wants and needs or otherwise put them into roles. One would think it didn't come up because these guys lived in Germany and Russia prior to the turn of the millennium, but I believe enough variations of euro and slant exist in those places to make Karl notice something along the lines of "slavs and slants work hard, yet these romani and jews do not; in fact all they appear to do is steal or scam" since he's meant to be observant..Yet this never seems to come up and never seems to have happened. This tells me the communists either didn't think very hard at all, or deliberately ignored it because their talk of classes had a goal distinct from the bare truth.

No, not really. Human beings are not equal in their abilities, some people make great mechanics but couldn't handle physics. Someone in a wheelchair might make a great librarian but a lousy postman. Nobody should be subjected to a greater degree of exploitation because of their capacity to only perform certain types of labor. Some people might choose simple labor with low hours like cafeteria work because they prefer to only work enough to live, others might pour their entire being into laboring as doctors or researchers. Regardless they would be compensated for the hours of their life they work and not what the market decides to allocate.

Lol never give in to this "muh failures of communism" bullshit. Communists managed to achieve better food security, housing and universal healthcare in every nation they ruled compared to whatever system that came before them.

That's what already happens now. Markets aren't simply a nebulous concept, as you believe, they're the sum of people and human relations within any given society. Your argument makes even less sense because the Soviets, and later the Chinese, recognized that markets were absolutely necessary for efficient allocation. You're essentially saying idealistic trite, no different than your previous point.

>Markets aren't simply a nebulous concept, as you believe, they're the sum of people and human relations within any given society.
Not really, there's a class with disproportionate influence over the affairs of the market. You can say they deserve to be there or that their control of capital is a reflection of their virtue and honor, but Marx's concept of exploitation is a description of a real phenomenon. People outside of that class are forced to engage with the market by selling their labor time for less than the profit the employer receives from it.
I'd argue that Cockshott & Machover make a strong case that markets are not magic and centrally planning most of the economy is possible and desirable in an age of computers.

>Shifting goalposts
Also expected. One simply cannot expect intellectual honesty from an internet anti-communists.

Notice how he shifts from "communism did not bring better healthcare, housing and food security from what preceded it" to "everything was not going well in communist countries"

The anti-communist has to engage in this trick of intellectual dishonesty because he cannot admit that communism was objectively better than what existed before communism and so he must point to it's collapse. The funny thing is he cannot be demonstrate that what succeeded the collpse was actually better than communism.

This is a clear cut example of "thought ending argument". Any Marxist logic is made just say "lol that one historical instance of communism collapsed" and in the troglodyte mind you are free from making actual counters or using logic against Marxism.

This is especially stupid to believe considering modern economic problems are often a result of governments employing bad foreign and domestic economic policies. Planning is solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.

so? if someone else had covered toys r us' operating costs, they could've stayed open indefinitely, no consumers needed. as constantly happens today. microsoft famously just laid off huge amounts of people, because almost their whole games division was being propped up just by minecraft profits. or you have wizards of the coast taking huge losses on everything they produce, because magic the gathering profits is allowing them to prop up undesirable products. the consumer's desires obviously do not influence what's being produced in these cases. or you can look at even more extreme cases, with something like command economies, where whole economies will mass-produce garbage that nobody wants only for it to be left to rot in massive warehouses, because some idiot in the central bureaucracy decided that this is what the economy needs to produce completely independent of the consumer's desires or input or anything else.

You're just mystifying the actual dynamics here. Did the "consumers" who lose their job when a factory gets moved to Mexico make the decision to emmiserate themselves? A capitalist made the decision to do it in order to stay profitable. One obviously has less to lose and has more individual control over the decision. One is trying to avoid losing access to capital, the others are trying to feed their families. But they're all "consumers", so it doesn't matter o algo.
>>25403988
The "good" economic policies you're talking about are usually austerity to appease the needs of international capitalist institutions like the IMF. If the purpose of a country is to provide for its citizens then gutting public services is not a "good" policy even if the IMF wants it to happen, many smaller countries have very little agency anyway.
>>
>>25404010
even in the extreme case where meeting consumer demand is the only thing that matters (obviously isn't close to always the case), it's still not the consumer that decides what gets produced. the producer decides what gets produced and then they either succeed or fail based on what they THOUGHT the consumer wanted. it's still not the consumer making any decisions, though they do cause who gets selected out of the economy or not. not that that even happens a lot of the time, with failing businesses constantly being propped up by things like taxpayer money, where the government literally comes to your house and steals your money to give to people who you (the consumer) would never give it to so that they can keep producing shit you don't want.

Because under communism, people like him are on rafts from Cuba to Miami.
>>
>>25404127
cuba is capitalist
>>
>>25404129
It wasn't real socialism, we know
>>
>>25404126
You're one of those people who doesn't know what capitalism was, and never lived during it. You never had a premise. It took Chrysler 12 years or so to relinquish government equity so it could be turned over to foreign companies. Boeing still needs the government for almost a fifth or so of it's revenue and also needs the government to manage some of it's assembly lines. Once again, bask in your socialist glory little zoom.

The fact that you can't understand why someone would care about something unless it affects them directly is a sign that you are deeply retarded. It's not dissimilar to the Israeli concept of 'Frieren' where those who are capable of altruism or have convictions beyond their narrow individual/family life are shunned. The result of a society that believes these things (not coincidentally these are fundamental beliefs of the post-neoliberal rightoid) is worshipping mass shooters and raping prisoners with dogs. Anyway Marx addresses the issue of unemployment with his concept of the reserve army of labor.

>>25404134
why mention it then
>>
>>25404136
Capitalism is why you're talking to me right now, why you have a steam account, and why you have an internet connection.
You don't see socialists producing anything but complaints on 4chan and X.
>>
>>25404137
The fact you think normal people respect your opinion is telling. You're a terminally online loser and a nobody.

I haven't read a word of Marx, he just looks too swarthy to trust desu
>>
>>25404137
The fact that you think that Marx, a guy who never worked a day in his life, never held government office or managed economic policy, had viable fiances, never had a degree in economics, or managed a business can tell us anything about any of those subjects is rather telling how stupid you are lmao
>>
>>25404154
People can perfectly well make correct judgements about something without being directly involved with it, what a bizarre post. Marx owned a business, stocks, operated Europe's largest union and had a job btw
>>
>>25404165
If he made correct judgements, he wouldn't have died in utter poverty, beg people his whole life, or cheat on his wife and drive his kids to suicide
>>
>>25404141
At this point it's not worth mentioning the internet was funded by the government. Return to your influencer worship. May you and your zoomer brethren grow weary of the social media cesspits and return to some semblance of human society. Time's up on all of this.
>>
>>25404172
Influence worship is the only reason you support sending money to Ukraine, transgenderism and socialism dude
You're just throwing stones from a glass house
>>
>>25404167
you can still make correct judgements even if your life is in complete shambles. you operate on a completely retarded logic

>died in utter poverty
he didnt
>beg people his whole life
fair
>cheat on his wife
who cares
>drive his kids to suicide
meds

>Abusing women is based according to leftists
How did that work out for your boy Platner
>>
>>25404197
>>Abusing women is based according to leftists

anyways his wife and daughters loved him till the end. cope&seethe

>>25403878
no, we are.
youre stilla cunt tho

Labor has no intrinsic value unless it’s organized to do something useful. If you eliminate the incentive to administrate, the whole system comes toppling down.
>>
>>25404444
all labor has intrinsic value you dumb twat.
>>
>>25404444
>>25404612
There is no such thing as intrinsic value.
Value is a belief system.
>>
'Value' is a social relation between people or between classes if you like, that appears to us as a real property of things. See the section on commodity fetishism in chapter 1 of Capital.

>There is NO valid response for why the resources of a nation shouldn't be owned by its people. There is NO valid response for why everyone must continue to suffer under wage-slavery instead of controlling their own work democratically.
This is the case in the Volksgemeinschaft though, which is centred around an organic community with an essential common identity, unlike that of the artificial notion of the 'international proletariat' cooked up by a 19th-century jewish NEET, along with any other ideology that sees human groups as interchangeable economic units of consumption and production and nothing greater.
The high-trust society necessary for labour organisation can only be achieved through ethnic homogeneity. Moving ethnic groups from their homelands to other parts of the empire has been a dividing tactic for milennia and we can still see the same principle in effect today when niggers broke up the 'workers paradise' of CHAZ in Seattle.
Retards like >>25403437 are going to sink your gay LARP before it ever gets off the ground.
>>
>>25404936
Substantially refute the claim instead of copy pasting abridged ideology, you retard.
>>
>>25404965
What claim?
>>
>>25404932
you seem not to value yourself.
while thats really a (You) problem, your stupid lack of self worth is fucking shit up for other people.

my finite time and quality of existence matter. this is one root of value. its also called class consciousness. christ cucks might call it the golden rule. if libertariantards believe in some sort of rights without the state, theyd best believe in this.
>>
>>25405014
yet somehow I don't value your time and quality of existence
