Karl Marx appreciation thread
>He thinks he's being funny
It's actually quite hilarious.
Didn't he hate Marxists?
I was always under the impression he'd be disgusted to see the USSR or PRC.

I share the opinion that his diagnosis was straight but his treatment strategy was ineffective.
Marxists of /his/, feel free to argue otherwise.

i believe that socialist countries will eventually rule the world
...
in about a thousand years, were still in the early stages of late capitalism and were not likely to see another successful socialist revolution in our lifetimes
just a reminder that it took capitalism and democracy thousands of years to unseat feudalism and monarchy

What's your solution to the ills of capitalism?
>>56091
>capitalism has been around 1000 years
sorry what?
>>56130
capitalism was international before it was national, the earliest examples are the silk road and Indian ocean trade.
>>56222
and i forgot to mention that Poland and Athens along with Rome were the first remotely democratic nations
>>56222
That's not an institutionalized aspect of the state apparatus, so while that's the free market, I wouldn't call it capitalism.
>>56291
economic systems are international and countries can adopt them into their structure so yea i would call it capitalism
>>56098
Conjuncturally, something between Keynesian policy and the effort for worldwide political stability through international diplomacy. Structurally, let the chips fall where they fall. When the means of production become obsolete for the current societies, they will break apart. Until now, capitalism has shown that it is a very flexible model for most of its crisis.

>muh religion is alienation that arises as a result of class polarization
Pic related, religion predates class-based societies therefore Marx was wrong and communism doesn't work, even in it's pure, unadultered form.
do not let those /pol/shits to take over this board plz
>>56554
yes. but it functions on a domestic level and is ultimately instituted by the state. this did not occur until at least the 17th century.

When I was in jr high we were reading about Marx's predictions. Namely Russia would never go commie, and America would be the first. In 7th grade I postulated pretty much Hart's thesis on why America would never go commie.
So yeah, thanks for making shit easy enough a 7th grader could poke holes in it.

i won't discuss my "appreciation" of karl marx, seeing as that is not what this board is for, and this entire thread is a borderline rule violation, I will however discuss the life of Karl marx, as well as the historical significance of his writings.
is it true that Karl Marx himself was never actually a member of the working class? he was born to wealthy parents and lived off an inheritence his entire life, so i'm not sure how he was qualified to talk about the plight of the working class
>>57262
Commie shill please go
Historical materialism is absolute trash that takes no account of subjective experience, cultural and intellectual development, national circumstances, military strategy, or anything else. It is among the worst historiographical perspectives ever and Marx was wrong on all fronts. Nothing he said would occur has occurred.
He also gets bonus points for being related to and funded by Rothschild bankers (and funded by other assorted industrialists as well). 0/10, would not theorize with.
>>57336
>qualified
by whom?
>>55975
This is how I feel.
Descriptive Marx (talking about how capitalism works, history of struggles etc.) was always right.
Prescriptive Marx (talking about how future socialism would work, classless society etc.) was always wrong.
Basically, don't try to predict the future. He was a genius though.

>>60546
Marxists.org
Despite the site name, it's actually a really good place for objective reading, marx is socially conservative much like proudhon which isn't surprising, and you'll find yourself to agree with him if you open up your mind from the skepticism caused by the west against communism.

>>60670

>>60718
It is objective, it's literally all of the written subjects by a lot of leftist economists, and you'll form your own opinion on the site as to what you think of the economic views marx had.
Don't be a dumb fuck.
>>60766

Genuine retardation.
>>55761
Did Marx inadvertently save capitalism?
>Capitalism is horrible to the workers, if they're unemployed they starve, their wages are poor, their hours long and their conditions dangerous.
>Marxist groups spring up to fight this and get to communism.
>Those in power in most countries make small yields (Bismarck's welfare provisions, or similar changes in the UK.) while maintaining a largely capitalist economy. From there the welfare state slowly builds up into modern social democracies.
>Meanwhile Russia refuses to make sufficient changes (and couldn't really because it was so far behind) and goes red. Everyone calls it communist even though it's socialist (but trying to reach communism)
>Later, China also revolts.
>By the ~50s, but with the difference in quality of life growing all the time, it's plain to see that living standards in a social-democracy are higher than those of a communist society.
A lot of the parties that pushed for social democracy have Marxist roots as well, like the British Labour party. [Who still insist they're socialists, kek.]
>>57336
>he was born to wealthy parents and lived off an inheritence his entire life, so i'm not sure how he was qualified to talk about the plight of the working class
The idea that one must be of a certain group to see that groups plight is ludicrous. (But very popular.), at the time Marx was alive it was reasonably common for the rich to start looking into the plight of the poor instead of assuming they were all poor through their own personal failure.
Even now, poor people who've made it into positions of power aren't the best to talk about poverty. They often ascribe some of their own luck to hard work and so make the very assumption that other poor people are lazy.
"When the axe came into the woods, many of the trees said, "At least the handle is one of us'"
Funny how the only thing Karl Marx ever excelled at was spending other people's money
>>60766
>the_list.jpg
90% of those works are ridiculously outdated and near-useless for analyzing modern political economy.
He did a lot to advance the historical field in itself. Reading about kings and military commanders misses the big picture, which in many ways we have Marx to thank for having today.
However I do think I mix of the two is appropriate and more entertaining.
>>55761
Would Marx have recognized Europes immigration crisis as the importation of the lumpenproletariat?
>>60889
>Coming from the subjective perspective of the Marxists themselves.
Do you go into a historical archive and of a country, and go "HOLY SHIT THIS IS BIASED"
The way I used objective was to say it was a site not run by politically imitative, it's basically a archive of marxist economics.
>This is wrong. Only a minority of the writers within marxists.org are economists.
Explain further, I'd like to know what you mean.
>just open up your mind man
Dude, I'm a supporter of proudhon.
I'm not exactly saying this from subjectivity either.
>"The West" isn't the only anti-Communist force.
Now you're just nitpicking, mate.
>telling people to go to an archive with hundreds of writers without telling them what to read
>Hurr durr, people shouldn't be independent.
>You're embarrassing yourself and the Left.
I wouldn't say so, at least I don't go fucking autistic about a statement which was basically sending people to the same site you linked and literally boasted your narcissism to make yourself look impressive.

This is what happens when you put /pol/ and /lit/ together.

None the less the moderators obviously support this happening as the board rule is no racism.

It is really disappointing.

Communism is the ideology of losers.

What
Are you serious?
You've spent most of your time criticizing me for sending people to the same site I posted in a simple matter, spend more then a few hundred words making angry replies that I'm wrong.
And I'm the narcissist.
Okay.
I'll admit, I was wrong that it was just marxist theory, but what I''m trying to say is that (Using the actual etymology of the word) is that the archive is filled with different subjects of varying leftist ideals with some exceptions (Because apparently, this is crucial in a description since saying it in ANY OTHER WAY is apparently wrong in the case of highly functional autism) which makes a good source for matieral, because it isn't shadowed by a political motive and only storage of literature.
There, are you happy?
Fucking autists man, they're right about man-children.
>>61069
Where is 4chan going?
>>61158
Take a look at /v/ or /k/ and a lot of the more popular boards, and the majority of the low population boards.
For High Population.
They're over saturated with user moderation with odd exceptions in rules, which literal porn threads can stay up for a period long enough to have a nap, and unrelated topics and /b/ tier content is posted throughout, with a lot of new people and new fads coming in completely fading away the site's culture almost making it on pararell with tumblr and reddit, as examples.
For Low Population
Literal forum-like moderation, seems much more dedicated in purging, dissent is remove and a lot of the political statements are throughout socially progressive, mostly undereducated as well, large circle jerking and tripfagging isn't even shunned anymore.
Its become the complete antithesis of what this site originally stood for.
Legitimately, there is little to no difference as of now between forums and 4chan and I'll bet it'll get worse in the future.
>>61305
I admitted my mistake in relation to my explanation of the site's content.
I'm not the one embarasing myself, I've actively stated twice that I'm not a marxist and you've shown through your posts that you've quite obviously got high levels of narcissism.
>By talking like you actually know what you're talking about makes Marxists in general look like we're like you. Stop.
Do you think this actually works?
Nigger, you can't fucking tell people to stop when you are insulting them.
Especially when you're using ad ad populum and trying to shame me emotionally when I couldn't care less.
This is why /lit/ is fucking cancer.
>>55794
Based Karl "The Commie Tsunami" Marx would have probably disliked the Soviet Union. Some of the biggest scholars in Marxism said so early into the Bolshevik revolution. Guys like Karl Kautsky. But we forget about them because both the Soviets and Americans wants us to think that socialism/communism = Soviet Union.

I think we still haven't figured out a form of communism that will properly work, no. But of course 20th century communism was dominated by leaders and revolutionaries that were too present. You can't do communism by force, of course, but the road to communism is dependent on a state that is stable, but that gradually less and less visible
>>57336
>>57336
Exactly how can you have any sense of what its like to work everyday and in those times 10 hour+ shifts with hardly a place to sit or a lunch break while you're sitting comfy in your chaie writing about how to fix everything for them.
That's why his work has inspired only regimes that profit, oppress and exploit the woking class. In no way shape or form does his work fix anything.
Look at politics, and you'd know this to be true if you have lived in south america, that socialism and communism are simply empty promises that give them votes to rule another term.

Yes, this will be ironic, but let's stop making posts that just bemoan the influence of this or that board. If somebody's trying to shit up a thread, it's better to ignore them or refute them than to shit up the thread even more with whines.
Also, I'm no Marxist, but I think a philosophy and history board is pretty obviously where a thread about Karl Marx goes. He was a philosopher, and his ideas had a huge influence on the course of history. He's also, whether you like it or not, an integral part of the humanities in its current form.
>>66328
Marxism killed more people than racism, and yet only the latter is banned. Why?
>>55761

His ideas saved tens of millions more.
The German Social Democratic Party created the first welfare state which has been adopted by every Western nation in the world and saved countless tens of millions of people from certain death and squalor.
The German Social Democratic Party got all of their ideas about capitalism from Marx.
>>67159
Yeah, sure thing, mate. If it didn't happen in the 19th century, it won't happen in the 21st.
>>66640
Because racism is elitist and Marxism empowers the unwashed hordes or some bullshit.

Through history economic transitions have been based on social emancipation and increasing economic representation. The lower class will overtake the upper class.
Marx theorized that this system would mean the collective ownership of the means of production. This merely means the people who work get the benefits. It's not that difficult
The Marxist method is really good, besides his economics, imo. You can hate Marx how much you want, but you can't deny that his method have a strong core that it is difficult to refute.

Its true though. Take a business class, they'll make it clear - you make a very low profit margin on each product. The idea is to sell so much product you end up raking in millions.
(Also, the comic - both the original and the edited - ignore the difference in ownership, which usually has tons of wealth, and management, which is usually wealthy but not shareholder level wealthy)

Source: history hasn't proven him right.
No revolution was successful at implementing even the most basic form of socialism
Workers in the 21st century know about value added, but understand that it isn't exploitation: it is a compensation for the risk of investing and a motivation to produce.
Command economies have been proven to be more innefecient than those based on markets
People living in socialist societies didn't change their profit-minded culture, a necessary step for the achievement of true communism
There is probably a lot more.
I think what's so disgusting about Marxism is how it rejects the realities of life. No wonder every single prediction failed. No wonder every communist society failed. Nothing about these failures are ever surprising. I don't just hate Marxism, I reject the axioms its built upon.

There has to be a compensation, or else there would be no motivation to produce, since businesses have a risk of failing.

Oh yes, seems like heaven on Earth. Is that why so many cubans try to flee to the "evil imperialist corporate-dominated" countries?

What is the unionization rate in the United States? And how many unions aren't just Keked into mediocre contracts because on a working class salary you can't stop working for a month?

Not even that. Marx admitted that he never actually wrote about existing capitalism, he just invented the whole shit from "concepts".

Mexico was only capitalist under Porfirio Diaz, and during these days, it attracted tens of thousands of European migrants.
>>67758
How are Marx and Hitler at all alike? One stood for the liberation of all people and equality the other wanted to kill all the people who weren't like him
>>67758
No, /pol/, you need to go
ITT /leftypol/ tries to co-opt /his/, screeching that anyone who dislikes Marx's crusty ass is a /pol/ack who needs to get off their new board
Aaaaand even with mods deleting /pol/-tier posts, they're still getting BTFO. Surprise surprise.
>>67696
>tfw this board won't make it past the trial period
Is it so fucking hard for people to leave out their personal politics and talk about something objective that we can agree on or at least come to an understanding on together. No one comes on 4chan to have their mind changed, so give up

Do you not know anything. Illegal immigration didn't start in the way it is now until the PRI implemented neoliberalism
When it was somewhat left wing people stayed there. Now the southwest is full of refugees.

Jesus Christ you don't really think that do you?

how exactly are you arriving to the conclusion that the US imposing a dictator in chile is a cultural trait of the chilean people

Marx wanted to kill every bourgeois. Replace the word "jew" with bourgeois and "aryan race" with proletariat in Hitler's speeches and you end up with something which sounds a lot like marxism.
>>67778
I'm not a /pol/ack. Jesus christ are you marxists so fucking moronic that anyone who doesn't support your pathetic failure of an ideology is a stormfag?
>>67801
what? did you reply to the wrong person?
>>67815
The US helped, but the Chilean Congress itself called for the overthrew of Allende because he fucked up with the Constitution and the people was jubilant when Pinochet finally did the coup.
>>67740
perhaps because said evil imperialist corporate country placed an embargo on Cuba?
jesus christ, read a fucking book

Same thing with /a/
>the US imposing a dictator
Don't give a fuck, he killed commie shits and made Chile the bastion of South America
>>67811
>>67859
I thought commies hated free trade.
Besides, Rhodesia was under even worst embargoes and it's economy wasn't fucked up like Cuba.
>>67859
Cuba was still shit before the soviet bloc fell...
>>67662
satire of what?
>>67903
What now commie? Gonna pretend that "class struggle", "violent revolution" and "dictatorship of the proletatiat" are terms which were meant to be interpreted metaphorically???
>>67855
>the chilean congress
doesnt mean shit, Allende was democratically elected
>>67863
>Don't give a fuck
you should, sonce you thought you knew what you were talking about
he let extrernal investors exploit the country, do you know who owns most of chilean industry?
>>67875
>I thought commies hated free trade.
not my problem you are unaware of modern socioeconomic ideologies
>Rhodesia
Rhodesia doesnt even exist now, if you belive what is left og Rhodesia is better than Cuba you are retarded
>>67903
Marx was an virulent anti-semite.
>>67945
It was made in satire of the "Communism has never been tried = murdered innocents" image
>>67985
>he let external investors exploit
Kek, "exploitation" is on par with what "socialists" call "monopolizing"
>>67985
>doesnt mean shit, Allende was democratically elected
Are you trolling?
Do you also believe that Hitler suspending human rights in Germany was legitimate, since he got to power democratically?
>>68004
Marx was a jew you idiot.
>>67603
>No, no he wasn't
Yes he was, he only was overthrown because he didn't want to pander to America's interests.
>>68004
>It was made in satire of the "Communism has never been tried = murdered innocents" image
how exactly is that satire? it's more like a meme mutating.
>>67973
how fucking retarded are you?
Marx never wanted to gas every bourg people ever, have you ever read the theory of petite bourgeoisie
>>68029
Yes, he was a jew.
And an anti-semite.
Bobby Fisher was a Jew and an anti-semite.
It's hilarious you don't know how he wrote about his hatred of his own "putrid race"
Want me to dig up the facts or you want to Google it?
>>67973
We live in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
I'm sure you think we live in a wonderful democracy where the best darn ideas win out every time
>>68031
He was overthrow because the Chilean people didn't want to live under communism. I know it's hard for you to understand that, since everyone at your college campus thinks that communism is utopia, but not everyone agrees with you.
>>68026
>comparing a few weeks of social reforms to Hitlerian dictatorship

Allende was democratically elected by 34% of the people and then procceeded to disregard the constitution in order to make Chile a communist country. He was rightfully deposed.
>>68075
>Chilean people
odd way to spell "american government"
>>68026
>Are you trolling?
Are you?
do you understand what you have been doing?
lets greentext it
>chile is growing because of chilean genetics and culture
>asked to back this up
>cant
>the US imposed Pinochet
>the US only helped, the chilean congress wanted to overthrow Allende
the chilean congress and the military were the ones who made the coup, backed up by the US
remind me again how Pinochet is proof that the chilean genetic and culture wanted him, when the chilean people, (guided by their culture and genetics according to your way of thing) ELECTED Allende???
>>67973
This anon is correct.
Marxism is a revenge fantasy whereby the communist imagines himself the victim of a plot created by wealthy people to keep him down, just as Nazism is a revenge fantasy whereby the Nazi imagines himself the victim of a plot created by Jews to keep him down. Both have the end results, with Nazis measuring your skull and Marxists measuring the proletarian content of your soul to decide if they're going to allow you to exist in their utopia or not.
Ultimately, Marx is a retard for being a utopian theorist, because utopias are, by their very definition, impossible, because humans will always be imperfect beings. But keep on believing human beings are like clay you can mold to your will, you lovable fascists, because it's right when you do it!

I don't think you know what the word "dictatorship" means.

With campaign contributions, and the money race. Politicians getting bought
Keep believing in it though, the bourgies need people like you to stay alive

Prove me wrong faggot
Protip:You cant. Even contemporary marxists know that The Capital is completely useless in the 21st Century.
This board needs some /pol/, you are literally defending an ideological hater who turned half the world against the other and has been responsible for literally 100% of the deaths in the world except for the WWI
>>68098
Allende was a few months away from being another murderous commie dictator. You're just too fucking stupid to realize that.
>>68166
hey kid, computer = burgeoisie
>>68176
What the fuck does that even mean
Do you know what the Bourgeoisie is or are you retarded

The American government is not some magic institution, if they didn't had local support, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

So Socialist countries depend on trade in order to prosper? Interesting.
>>68131
That was not me.
The post you are responding to was my first post ITT
Retard.
>>68195
no, you are the one who doesn't know what the bourgeoisie is
i can understand a black man being national socialist, as it doesn't imply him being killed, but a kid with a computer being marxist?
oh my god, you are either suicidal or have deep autism

How does computer equal bourgeoisie?
I'm too stupid to understand what that means, what does it mean?
>>68222
No I was not THINKING that, it was established fact. When you're training red guerrillas in Cuba, it's usually a tell tale sign...
Also :
>a commie lecturing me about ethics
>>68215
Socialists have always argued for a global revolution because capitalism is a global force. Being cut off from the global movement of goods is of course destructive for any economy and no international socialist denies that.
>>68252
>Capitalist lecturing anyone about ethics
How is sitting on your ass deciding what to invest in worth 7-11 figures ethical again?
>>68237
you literally believe that in a world-wide class war someone with a computer is the people?
how retarded are you? do you know how many people are there in the world? do you know how many have computers?
also, you most surely are a native english speaker, prolly american, do you know what that means?
>>68164
Tell me then, what is the end of history? Why would the world not be heading to an ultimate goal if that place was not The Best Place Ever, aka communism? Who is the "new man" that communism will create? You're an idiot if you think he wasn't utopian.
>>68166
You really think money wins elections? Trump right now has spent the least of all Republican candidates, and he's in the lead.
You Marxists are all the same. You can never be disproved, because your theory says if it's disproved then it's someone else's fault. Your threshold for falsifying other theories is so goddamn low as to be laughable, but your threshold for falsifying Marxism is literally IMPOSSIBLE to reach. You know what we call things that can't be disproved in social science, such as psychoanalysis? A load of shit. You're all a bunch of retards, smug retards at that.

Then go ahead and provide proof of Allende's impending dictatorship. I don't have to demonstrate that your dictatorship existed, because you don't even deny that.
>>68264
So Cuba would have to set aside its socialist ideals and engage in capitalist actions with capitalist countries and give profits to capitalists in order to destroy capitalism?
>>68285
>you literally believe that in a world-wide class war someone with a computer is the people?
That sentence doesn't even make sense
> do you know how many people are there in the world? do you know how many have computers?
What does owning a computer have to do with anything?
>>68280
>How is sitting on your ass deciding what to invest in worth 7-11 figures ethical again?
Because you aren't coercing anyone. Capitalism is entirely voluntary. That's what you stupid faggots fail to understand.
