How come the Right doesn't have a proper intellectual framework?
Even at its the very best, the libertarian/"objectivist" wing is putting out not much more than sophist tidbits based in unjustified moral absolutes. And the Right is rarely at its "very best". The Alt-Right, for example, is happy to just keep reiterating alarmist nonsense, memes and cheap appeals to emotion.
Point being, I am not aware of a single right-wing publication that even TRIES to tackle Leftism on an intellectual level, at least not in good faith. American Affairs comes reasonably close, but it's no so much "right-wing" as it is its own little brand of neo-keynesian.

>Works the same in politics: in a free political environment, if there is power to be grabbed, someone will find a way to grab it. Economics and politics are really quite similar what the fuck

No.
They just complain the loudest.
Certain ideas, no matter how flawed have bought human civilization to where we are now.
CAPITALISM BUILT THE PLANET.

if you're genuinely interested I recommend reading that as well as the earlier posts in the series.
The idea is bascially just that Marxism and other forms of Leftism work by promising low-status people higher status in a reorganized social system.

Socialism appeals to the ignorant, the lazy and the hind teet sucking bottom feeders. Once the youth get a job and look at their take-home vs what they actually made, their attitude usually changes quickly

Oh you mean the left >we're pure materialists but we also believe reality is socially constructed.
Well I'll admit it's a framework capable of justifying anything so it's powerful in that sense, but not super coherent

>Marx, starting this tradition where semi-assimilated Jews don’t quite the latent hypocrisy of the host society, didn’t quite get the joke of liberal egalitarianism, and just took it to its logical conclusion. You’re not supposed to do that, kids. You’re supposed to get the joke. But he didn’t. Liberty and Equality? Ok, let’s abolish private property then. Hey wait a little there. Are you serious? Abolish private property? The guy clearly never actually read Marx. At no point does he call for an "abolishment of private property".

I became a socialist last year Anything other than designing your government with the people in mind is outrageous. National Socialism just makes sense
