I generally consider myself a libertarian, but recently I went ahead and read the Communist Manifesto, and...
>1.) Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. >2.) A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. >3.) Abolition of all rights of inheritance. >4.) Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. >5.) Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. >6.) Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. >7.) Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. >8.) Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. >9.) Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. >10.) Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.
Hey, besides maybe point #5, this doesn't sound half-bad! In any case, it's much better than the "NO MORE PRIVATE PROPERTY" bullshit strawman the corporate shills keep posting on Sup Forums.

Now move outside of israel,change your name,go to some gullible goyim at lefty pol and tell them how great their system is,they literally don't see your nose!!and they are truly jealous brainlet subhumans,how adequate of goyim!
Jack Bennett
I tried to read it but he just sounded too much like a whiny kike.
I actually agree with a lot of the complaints that marx had against communism. I just agree more with keynes how to fix those problems. (Actual keynes, not the bastardized kike form that it is now)

Landon Jackson
The OP is obviously trolling, but I DID read some communist writings recently (out of morbid curiosity, if nothing else) and was surprised to find out how little there is of everything bad associated with "communism". Like Marx here is saying shit that I would generally agree with, especially points 1, 2, 3 and 4.
And shiiieeeeeet, Lenin was openly advocating for the use of private enterprise and Darwinian competition between firms/individuals as a way to incentive work and innovation. He was criticizing contemporary Capitalist societies for ABANDONING competition/private-enterprise in favor of big business monopolizing everything: >Under *such* capitalism, competition means the incredibly brutal suppression of the enterprise, energy and bold initiative of the mass of the population, of its overwhelming majority, of ninety-nine out of every hundred toilers; it also means that competition is replaced by financial fraud, nepotism, servility on the upper rungs of the social ladder.
That shit blew my mind. If that is not applicable to the "crony capitalism" we live under today I don't know what is. He was advocating for the state promoting private enterprise not as a sacrament end-goal in-and-of-itself, but as a societal tool to be used to direct labor and innovation for the benefit of all. I don't know how much he actually acted upon any of that, but I DEFINITELY can get behind THAT.
Wyatt Butler

>Point 1 describes exactly the theft of private property So? Private ownership of land (or any other natural resource) is fucking bullshit anyway and there's literally no way you can justify it.
John Rodriguez
Announcing sage is against the rules, newfag. Go back to neofark, sage isn't a downvote.
Blake Hughes
They talked a lot of smack but the central pillar of their model was the centralization process. Competition would be nominally allowed so far as it could be defined, but without capital or property, the owners are the state and so they could and would intervene whenever the fancy struck them.
Grayson Long
All of keynes writings were praised by the nazi party. Mosley's entire economic policy was based off of keynes writing almost verbatim.
Keynes was big on pulling the british lower class out of the gutter, that was his major concern. He was saying that communism and socialism was so appealing that he understood why people would reject capitalism. He wrote on how to add policies to capitalism to better benifit the average man.
Keynes was a die hard british nationalists. He actually hated that the brits sold out to america becuase he thought (rightly) that the brits would become more global and start to lose their culture.
Logan Scott
I know all those things but I think he was wrong on the technical level, not because of his politics.

You misunderstand, they own and control everything. Nothing happens unless it's in a report, but they hoped people would be able to compete who better could follow their orders.

You have "bought" (assuming you're not just LARPing like 99% of lolbritarians) something that you have no right to own, from someone who didn't have the right to own it either. Land is the common possession of the nation, just like air and water.

Luis Green
Not larping. Also the land is out west. This land was given to the original owners because of military service. The government gave them the land. Therefore the government relinquished it's right to this land.
Also what makes you think that the government should own the land and not the person who takes care of the land?

The government didn't own the land, either. It's the property of the entire nation. A government only has claim to it insofar it represents the people, not like some Ancien Regime French king who fucking owns the entire country as his own personal estate .
Bentley Myers
newfag
Nicholas Hall
You're full of shit. I own my land by right of conquest. If you don't think I should own it, then you are free to come and try and take it from me and I'll defend myself and my property with lethal force. It's totally natural, human behaviour.
Kayden Jones
>A government only has claim So what are you doing to return parts of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights to the people who lived there?
Matthew Morris
Look jew, your claim to represent the people evaporated when the gulags were opened and everyone starved to death. That marx speaks to you from beyond the grave should concern you deeply.
Christopher Russell
Time and effort are not the determinant of rightful ownership. Homesteading is, and part of that has to do with being the first to access an unowned good.
If you put time and effort into carving a statue into your employer's marble block, does that make it yours? No, because he owned the block before you, so no amount of labor will transfer that title without his permission.
If you want another angle, go ahead and separate a farmer's field from the land beneath it.
Carter Fisher
Of course it doesnt sound bad to you, it was specifically created to subjugate all goyim to kikes just like Talmud commands and you know it.
Carter Johnson
So just for clarification, if any other member of my "nation" walks on to this land they can cut down the trees, dig holes, plug up the streams, whatever correct?
Nicholas Clark
>when the gulags were opened and everyone starved to death Well yeah, this is kinda the point of the OP. I was surprised by just how un-authoritarian or suppressible socialist/marxist/communist ideology was before Stalin came along. I doubt the Soviet Union could even be called socialist by any stretch of that word, though.
Noah Taylor
>this doesn't sound half-bad! literally kys famalam >in all fields
Brody Moore
Wrong. I own my land and anyone who comes and tries to take that land from me (or abuse it in some way) will die by my hand. Now it so happens that our society has established a system of laws and a police force such that I no longer have to take this responsibility on myself, but that is essentially where private property rights come from.
Joseph Rivera
>If you put time and effort into carving a statue into your employer's marble block, does that make it yours? Well, it fucking should.
Carson Nguyen
Just as Universalist moralities/philosophies are considered a mask for hegemonic imperialism under many communist writers, an insight which I consider largely to be true, the call for public ownership over private ownership of land could be said the same of. There will always be leaders and followers in any group, and this instinctually forming dynamic is expressed informally in nature and formally in society in the relation between state and subject. Public ownership of land is merely a mask for the same old hegemonic imperialist relation between the leader and the followers, the state and the populace, and is a further means of the former amassing property at the expense of the latter.
William Baker
That's because what you're reading is demonic black magic designed for intellectuals based on a long tradition, and the murderers who led the revolution immediately established their brutal regime. Things will get worse before they get better, they said, and then they got hell on earth.
I have lived in communism, and each of your 10 points brings back memories and gives me goose bumps. Not the good kind of goose bumps.
Communism does not work. It is flawed on every level, and only people unable to accept the human nature believe in it.
But don't take my word for it. Pack and go to North Korea or Cuba and try to live there for at least a year.
Juan Thompson
You're a nigger
Luis Gomez
Oh, and I don't see why "rightful ownership" should even be a thing. In an ideal system, the money you have is representative of the amount of useful activity/labor/innovation you've contributed to society. You trade in that money for physical goods (in the process rewarding the makers of those goods for THEIR contribution). Those goods are now "yours" only by virtue of being representations of your own work, not because it's a God-given truth that private property should be a sacrosanct natural right.
Jason Morris

Irrelevant, you've claimed private ownership is not a right. Why would it be wrong for me to just take from you?
Tyler Walker
Private property is considered a God-given right not because of some a priori divine mandate, but because the way property is treated always accords on a functional basis to private property. Even so-called communal property operates functionally as private property in the hands of the patriarch, the leader, the person whom other human capital are treated functionally as private property to.
Easton Taylor
Oh I see, that wasn't true communism...
You are denying reality if you think so.
Your deluded utopia killed millions of people, destroyed many once great countries and crippled their gene fund, and almost managed to destroy the planet itself.
Parker Anderson
I made the house I live in. I made the land out of previous swamp area. I bought all the materials to make it more than just a drainage area.
I spent close to 1.4 million dollars doing all of this. I own the land.
Blake Edwards
Not irrelevant, retard, use some reading compensation. I just explain in that the things you "own" are only representations of the labor you've done. Perform more useful labor, be rewarded with more goods & services. By stealing something from someone else, you are enjoying something which you did not achieve by your own contribution to society. You are literally stealing the fruits of the other person's labor. ...Incidentally, wage work is a similar situation. The boss gets the enjoy the fruits of his worker's labor.
Levi Green
You're a dumb fat amerilard. Slovenia was under a totalitarian government with state owned means of production and a command economy. That's like making a critic of capitalism on the basis of Somalia. Somalia is pretty damn capitalist and liberal.
Sweden, Norway and other Nordic countries with soc democracy are closer to communism than was the USSR.
