    The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of all the cool stuff American men enjoy, like beer, hot chicks, football, comedy that’s actually funny, guns, and Harleys.

    – The Communist Manifesto, Chapter 2

        “Allein, um den Westen zu zerstören, so müssen wir, als Kommunisten, dafür Sorge tragen, dass alle Spiele, die da als nicht physische vorliegen, einen Protagonisten von weiblichem Geschlecht beinhalten. Dabei sind lesbische Protagonisten zu bevorzugen. Dies dient als Vorbereitung für den Völkermord an echt männlichen Spielern.”

        • Karl Marx

        One has to forgive his slight transphobia, he was a child of his time.

    If your plan is to kill me by excessive exposure to well endowed lesbian female protagonists, you can expect me to endure to the maximum of what is physically possible from the human mind, and then some.

        Being a Marxist means dealing with actual material conditions, and recentering the human subject, thoughts and experiences, within a material analysis. The materialism that came before, and persists to this day is a kind of analysis that divides everything into categories, hides systematic relations, and hides the human spirit from scientific progress. Marx identified these problems in Theses of Feuerbach in 1844, and spent the rest of his life developing solutions, which went on to found whole social scientific disciplines, and inspire revolutionary change.

        Marxism is a revolutionary worldview which centers the human experience as objective. If you think you’re a free thinker, but hasn’t studied Marx in an intentional and practical way, then you’re not. You are defaulting ideological methods that affirm the ruling ideology.

        The reason I’m a Marxist is because I want to help get people from that default stage to the next stage, which is Marxism. After that, then maybe we can surpass Marx, and in some ways many Marxists have. But its very difficult to achieve without Marx. In fact someone with less education would probably be more suited to move bast dualist rationalism than virtually any academic. But within Marxism ideas don’t matter until they are put into practice in order to prove themselves in the real world, not just old books. The philosophers have only interpreted the world, the point is to change it

    I know it’s fake because Marx had a deeply eurocentric world view. He thought the revolution must start in the most “progressive” part of the world which for him was the west

      The best thing about that is that “the west” is such a nonsensical designation for a location on a globe.

      Kind of, but his later works indicate he had developed a slightly more nuanced view than the thought experiments and basically meme understanding of non-european cultures that his earlier works inherit from Smith and others.

    I am pretty sure these are called neo-Marksists as per the greatest philosopher of our times, Jordan Peterson.
