thats wrong burger fascists dont support capitalism you fucking idiot

somthing like this, kind user?

...

I would recommend Zizek and Lacan as good starting points, comrade

Here you go Pedro

>Lacan
Do you have some kind of mental problem?

thanks

Parenti is good also

This is a result of restricting the free market. If those trade unions were allowed to house and train their own PMC's we wouldn't have these kinds of problems.

that is so remarkably dumb that i can't tell if you're being serious

it's because leftists aren't intellectuals and we don't recommend "Winnie the pooh brings on the utopia through class warfare and mass murder"

>leftists aren't intellectuals
really makes you think

>denying human nature makes you an intellectual
hmm

>Einstein
>stein

>being Albert Einstein makes you not an intellectual
Here, have another.
Oh i'm sure Sartre isn't either

well, if he actually said that, by the time the first atomic bomb got built despite his intention to use fission only for the good of mankind, it may have finally donned on him that the predatory phase was actually a persistent trait in homo sapiens in spite of the intention behind socialism

Einstein was a plagiarist. Read a book sometime dummy

>stalin is a saint
60 million is debatable. But that infographic is misleading.

Stalin did kill millions of people though disastrous policies. You cannot displace a few million peasants without suffering, or execute a significant portion of you military command structure, which directly led to the fuck up that was the Winter War, and not have a kill count.

The first flag is that this only has three fucking citations. One of them published in Moscow in 71. This is most likely biased due to accusations about mass deaths becoming more and more prevalent. Another is published in 1905, years prior to Stalin's regime. How would a census taken in 1905 have an impact on the regime of a man that began decades later? The population that was reported would have changed by the time Stalin took the reins.

The second flag is that the timeline only goes to 1945. This ignores the entire post war period of his regime, do you just stop reading a book halfway through? No.

The third is that it ignores the evidence we have from the Soviet Archives about the mass displacement of peasants, the military purges, and political prisoners sent to gulag in siberia. Your infographic fails to mention that. It also fails to take into account the thousands of hours logged by historians, in the actual archives where your evidence should be taken from, trying to make sense of the mess that is Soviet history. Thanks to faggots like you there is a lot of false information out there about the sphere of influence the Soviets and other communist states had.

>not based on any inquiry or physical evidence. lol.
This graph blatantly ignores the work of Russian and non-Russian historians that have confirmed evidence directly from the archives that millions died. 60 is only an estimate, but it ranges from 3 to 60 depending on your biases and what sources you consult. Not exactly saint like.

0/10 you would be a shit historian.

>How would a census taken in 1905 have an impact on the regime of a man that began decades later?
To show the population growth rate between then and 1926, moron.

>The second flag is that the timeline only goes to 1945
This timeline was not meant to be consulted when calculating the 60 million death figure, but merely an overlay of events prior to the post-war period.

Stalin definitely wasn't a saint and the infograph was clearly made by a tankie, but it is obviously meant to get people to stop spouting the "60 million" figure with reckless abandon without even having the slightest background knowledge of the USSR

Critique of the Gotha Program by Karl Marx, where he anticipates the shortcomings of the modern, liberal welfare state

A million times this. My 8 year old literally just quoted it to me this morning as a refutation to Trump's fiscal policy.

Any serious critic of Marxism as Marx presented it ought to read the German Ideology and the Critique of the Gotha Programme. After that, read the 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, Anti-Duhring and the Civil War in France.

Why not Capital? As sad as it appears, most Marxists these days don't 'do' economics, and even sadder, their opponents don't either, the former brushes over it and the latter make religious appeals to 'proven' theories they can't actually explain beyond naming them.
Ultimately arguments with Marxists are going to be philosophical-historical.
