Why is Marxism bad? Why did it fail?
It can't fail, it can only be failed.

It is failure. Absolute failure as an ideology. What is supposed to happen?
The year was 1607. The first 104 settlers had arrived from Europe in Jamestown in the Virginia Tidewater region of the US in May. They found soil which was fertile beyond what they had seen in the lands which they had left. Fruits were abundant. Wild game such as deer and turkey were everywhere. There was no shortage of fish and other seafood. And yet within six months 66 of the original Jamestown, Virginia settlers had died. Only 38 survived.
Another 500 settlers were again sent to settle in Virginia in 1609 and within six months 440 of these too died by starvation and disease.
Were the Virginian settlers lazy and indolent? It could not be. People who were sent there were the chosen ones – the very best of men.
The problem was that all the men who were sent were bonded labourers. They had no stake in what they produced. They were bound by contract to put all they produced into a common pool to be used to support their colony as a whole. This was communism in its purest form. Everyone was supposed to work according to ability and take according to need.
As so frequently happens with present day government policies, the results were the opposite of what was intended. Since hard work was not personally beneficial for the settlers they responded by stopping work.
Jamestown changed course just two years later in 1611 with arrival of the ‘high marshall' Sir Thomas Dale from the UK. He understood the problem, freed the settlers by abrogating communal ownership. Each man received three acres of land and, other than a lump sum tax of 2 ½ barrels of corn, did not have to contribute anything to the common pool. The colony immediately began to prosper. It prospered because each individual directly benefited by his labour and knew that he would also bear the full consequences of any reduction in output.

If I were Trump, I would only allow my name to be put on dark chocolate. None of that "milk chocolate" shit.
>>55243826
because it was a fantasy that does not work when applied to real life.
>>55243826
Human nature, and the subjective nature of the value placed on goods and services are not taken into account with communism, thus it fails every single time it is attempted.

>wanting your own name to be on niggered chocolate
It's a great system if you're a colony of ants.
>>55243851
>This is what marxists actually believe
It fails because it is predicated on fantasy economics, an overly reductionist theory of value, and a complete misunderstanding of human nature.
Marxism IS failure.
Marxism failed? I laugh at people saying this nonsense. Marxism is by far the most acomplished Ideology in the world, with a lot of sucessful application.
The problem with most of the Marxism critics is that they think Marxism is supposed to be different than what actually he is, in other words, Marxism is the Ideology of the maximus power and the subjulgation of the society by the arbitrary desire of a group of peolple we know as intelligentsia, or the intelectual elite, that is the political elite. Even Bakunin warned that Marxism would be an dictatorship. The only reason why marxism exists is to give the allmighty power to these group of shining people.
The Soviet Union was basically what it would be like if Microsoft bought every company on Earth.
True communism has never been tried. Get with the program you fucking capitalist pigs.
Fascism> Marxism
Fascism> Modern Capitalism
Fascism> Parliamentary Democracy
That's why.
>>55245473
Okay
>>55245543
Then why does it consistently keep failing?
>>55245606
Implying what I listed is not failing.
>>55245679
>capitalism afloat, with no signs of it losing
>democracy afloat, with no signs of it failing
>even marxism in limited form growing rather than dying
>fascism dead and gone, with only manchildren and tyrants wanting it back
>>55243826
>Why did it fail?
Forced Equality is the greatest form of Inequality.
Communism in the end will always collapse on itself, its such a terrible idea
>>55245679
Fuckoff Stormshit cunt
>>55243826
Because it's a system of social interpretation with some vague set of goals at best. There is no such thing as manual for marxism, those who think they do are megalomaniacs with an ego problem.

Fuck off degenerate leftist.
Fascism is a threat to all of you, a threat of violence.
>>55243826
Because capitalist know the price of everything, but the value of nothing
>>55243826
where the fuck do i buy that chocolate, is what i want to know.
Marxism does not 'fail'. It works very well.
Its purpose was to create bloodbaths and misery.
>>55246091
True.
>>55245892
You are the leftist here fucker, or you forgot that all the high places in fascism politics were socialists?
>>55245892
Oh god... I creamed my pants a little hearing the deaf sound of that hit. Nothing is better than witnessing the righteous fist of justice teaching to a small, weak, poor-excuse-of-a-human-being, leftist when he should keep his "protesting" mouth shut.
