The Prime NEET

Well, he actually wasn`t, and that`s not even a tragedy, of course his idea about asiatic mode of production is shit, and soon death of capitalism hadn`t happened, but most of his ideas were right, i mean class struggle is real shit

>implying that he didn't think that 2+2=4

>you have to make use of capitalism in a capitalist society
>communism btfo!

why are capitalists so retarded?

Diagnosed problems correctly. Offered mentally retarded solutions.

...

Yes. That slavs are subhumans.

Democracy is the opiate of the masses.

He believed that the ownership of fortnite deluxe edition is a human right.

he was wrong about everything, you're here forever btw

the labor theory of value

and 50 other things

wrong
Consumerism is shit

the only thing he was right about

private property is theft

Who cares what Marx said? He was a neet bum who took advantage of his naive, wealthy friends.

Pretty much

He didn't like the Jews either, and he was one.

That capital tends to accumulate at the top, and that there's never enough production/consumption/economic growth happening for greedy people to be happy, so there's no theoretical limit to the environmental damage and inhumane conditions that can be had.

Mind you, he didn't predict all of the carrots that ended up dangling in front of us in terms of regulations that make it seem like the system is working for everyone and improving, but Marx points out some fundamental problems in a capitalist paradigm. His desire for meme equality and the solutions that he suggests are shit, though.

his critiques of capitalism were extremely thorough and correct, yes. But his idea of communism is impossible and utopian even though he criticized utopian ideas.

>implying marx came up with math

He was right about most things and a few things wrong like any philosopher I guess. I do think communism is obtainable but socialism is very fragile and with a country like America on this world it's close to impossible.

I mean, I feel like most true socialists hate Jews. I think hatred for Jews comes from the economic side of politicals not the nationalistic side.

the only functional implementation of socialism in this day and age is North Korea, and see how they're doing.

>friends.
and family and anyone he could swindle

I'll bite:

He predicted fictitious capital leading to unstable inflated markets. The further alienated the exchange value of a product is from the labour that produces it, the more unstable it is. e.g. Sub-Prime Mortgage, bit coin crashes

The surplus of labour stagnating wages while corporate profits rise. i.e. that "economy booming" while there is signifigant unemployment (sustained by automisation), leads to lower real wages for workers

In order to constantly fan the flames of consumption, capitalism stokes imaginary appetites in the middle class as the working classes starve. (the "necessities" of the upper middle class did not even exist a few years ago, the poor's need for health, housing and sustenance are neglacted)

NK isn't socialist, it used to be Juche. The grandfather knew how to implement Juche, the father and son ruined his vision of autarky. It isn't socialism but I also don't know what it is, couldn't care less anyway, I don't think America should've stuck their dick in Korea in the first place

He was right about how marxism decays institution of family

I'd say Cuba is the only socialist country, they aren't doing too bad to be honest.

Are you living in one house with all your ancestors? If no, then you are one of those, who decays "institution of family"

dying
that's something he did right

that's retarded and so are you

Oh so you disagree with statement, that families evolutionize through human`s history?

The Russian isn't wrong, most extended families used to live in the same house, then it slowly starting decaying to nuclear families and now single parent families are becoming common. Listen to your father you slavshit pole.

No, Moshe Mordechai Levi was not right about most of the things.

What would Karl Marx think of Nazbol?

In my falangist spain we would be doing the same to dissenters.

Thank you commie bro

yes but communists arent human

Nope

The left's boogeyman are the national-socialists
The right's boogeyman are the communists

>“Well now, this whole Jewish world which constitutes a single exploiting sect, a sort of bloodsucker people, a collective parasite, voracious, organized in itself, not only across the frontiers of states but even across all the differences of political opinion—this world is presently, at least in great part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand and of the Rothschilds on the other. I know that the Rothschilds, reactionaries as they are and should be, highly appreciate the merits of the communist Marx; and that in his turn the communist Marx feels irresistibly drawn, by instinctive attraction and respectful admiration, to the financial genius of Rothschild. Jewish solidarity, that powerful solidarity that has maintained itself through all history, united them.”

>— Mikhail Bakunin, “December 1871 Letter to the Bologne Members of the International”

with exception one bogeyman of that pair is true

>"Marx is a Jew and is surrounded by a crowd of little, more or less intelligent, scheming, agile, speculating Jews, just as Jews are everywhere, commercial and banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers of all shades; in short, literary brokers, just as they are financial brokers, with one foot in the bank and the other in the socialist movement, and their arses sitting upon the German press. They have grabbed hold of all newspapers, and you can imagine what a nauseating literature is the outcome of it.
Now this entire Jewish world, which constitutes an exploiting sect, a people of leeches, a voracious parasite, Marx feels an instinctive inclination and a great respect for the Rothschilds. This may seem strange. What could there be in common between communism and high finance? Ho ho! The communism of Marx seeks a strong state centralization, and where this exists there must inevitably exist a state central bank, and where this exists, there the parasitic Jewish nation, which speculates upon the labor of the people, will always find the means for its existence.

>In reality, this would be for the proletariat a barrack regime, under which the workingmen and the working closely and intimately connected with one another, regarless not only of frontiers but of political differences as well - this Jewish world is today largely at the disposal of Marx or Rothschild. I am sure that, on the one hand, the Rothschilds appreciate the merits of Marx, and that on the other hand, women, converted into a uniform mass, would rise, fall asleep, work and live at the beat of the drum; the privilege of ruling would be in the hands of the skilled and the learned, with a wide scope left for profitable crooked deals carried on by the Jews, who would be attracted by the enormous extension of the international speculations of the national banks."
>—Mikhail Bakunin, Etude sur les juifs allemands, 1869

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Dude was woke on gun control, or rather the lack thereof.

>ex commie countries are now humanity's last hope for conservative, family oriented, ethno-nationalist societies
>while capitalist countries are overrun by liberals and niggers
he was right about everything

He said in the commie manifesto that he wanted to destroy the family structure and have a whole bunch of single roastie mothers instead along with single fathers.

Literally retarded, without even mentioning his economic or immigration “reform” policies.

He was right about dying

>nonsense
>meme flag
r/the_donald is strong in you

tell me Russianfriend, I have done both blue- and white-collar work in different circumstances. I have driven heavy vehicles and worked in offices. I'll probably start my own business at some point and do some self-employed work and some contracting for others.
To which class do I belong? Isn't it at least plausible that I'm just a human who is capable of co-operating with others to get things done in such a way that we are all productive?

that's fair, but the pic is still funny.

>accumulate at the top
did Karl Marx not notice that people have this unfortunate habit of dying? Fucking hell, most of the people at the """"bottom"""" are the children of the people at the """"top"""" and will be at the """"top"""" when they're old. Of course you have people who are disastrously unfortunate and people whose lives go completely sideways, but the state isn't going to be able to solve problems like disease, drug addiction and disability.

Marx said immigration is bad because multiple ethnicities divide the working class. A lot of cucked gommies never actually read Marx beyond meme quotes.

middle class or petty bourgeois
marx didn't hate middle class people, he saw them being devoured by the giants because they couldn't compete

Oh, so you're a lobster? Fuck off, idiot.

He stated that capitalists will commit suicide for a temporary profit. That seems pretty legit. Corporations importing cheap 3rd world labor and more debt slaves is going to destroy everything. fuck the goos

...

and here's the relevant part from the manifesto

ya private property is theft so why don't you let the jews in the government own it. fucking retard.

Today the religion of the masses is egalitarianism

Like Hitler ruined the legit ideas of the right wing, Communism ruined the legit ideas of the Lefts (Workers rights and anti consumism).

No, it's spectacle.

Which faux-egalitarianism resides within - virtue-signalling if you will.

First off Cuba is below that line, second off their poverty and inequality index is grade as N.A. which means there score would be even lower if they scored those.

ah yes, damn all those technological advances making it impossible for one guy with a camera to compete with the big capitalists

His beard is pretty on point.

God I hate how one person has absolutely no chance of hurting a huge industrial machine

fuck I forgot the picture

How is the russia thing not progressive birtherism?

is there a catchy name like birtherism for it?

Things were so much better when NASA was the only game in town. That way they could promote all the people whose incompetence and reckless idiocy got the Challenger crew blown up and nobody could say anything because NASA had no competitors.
Good times, good times.

funny that you mention this since youtube has a huge monopoly and no one can compete with them.

democracy is more like the methamphetamine of the masses

He pretty much nailed this one, though perhaps not in the way he intended:

A specter is haunting Europe - the specter of communism.

--Karl Marx

if i could go back in history and kill one person it would be him

and yes, i can't wait till they bring mcdonalds to mars. very lovely

it's seriously frustrating how there's no way a giant corporation with all that POWER can possibly be defeated

Nope.

>YouTube has a huge monopoly
For now. It won't last forever. Nothing ever does. The nice thing about private enterprises going bust is that they don't take the entire country off the cliff with them.
If you don't want to work for SpaceX go and work for Rocket Lab.

also isn't it horrible how nobody else could get into the air travel market because Pan Am had such a stranglehold?

kek

He was right on most things.

He and Engles tried to get it across that their ideology is not an inflexible dogma that couldn't adapt.

>a billion dollar corporation getting replaced by other billion dollar corporations is a sign of great progress and capitalist success
whoa... really made me think

He also spoke of non historic peoples.

commies and nazis actually agreed on a lot of things. they just had to sperg out because of their differences instead of working out a solution

This. He was the college student who has a flash of inspiration regarding the world's problems, and wrote up a long and idiotic thesis as to how to fix them. Two big things proved Marx mostly wrong:
>There were actually reforms to workers rights in the 1870s-80's that resulted in a much better life for the average working man
>Young men went off to die for Queen and Country in 1914 rather than engage in some proletariat-driven overthrow of their government (Russia the exception after 1917.)

>one organisation fails to provide you with what you want

unless youre an auto manufacturer or bank apparently

*countries that used to be under communist rule but are now immune to that bullshit spell
*capitalist countries that are infected with cultural marxist thoughts are being ruined by communists
ftfy

also 1/10 made me reply

I don't think anyone would disagree that was idiotic but nor could you say the auto makers or banks took the whole country with them. Except in Ireland of course.

sh-shut up you stupid commie! repeal of net neutrality is just the free market at work!

Nobody in their right mind likes government bailouts. However, at least government bailouts are usually loans and have to be paid back, and usually if the cost is too high the government can say "yeah nah, sorry not happening". If all your [insert good or service] comes from GLORIOUS PEOPLE'S INDUSTRY the government can either keep throwing money at GLORIOUS PEOPLE'S INDUSTRY until the entire country disappears down the shithole or they can cease all production of [good or service] until they can make a new GLORIOUS PEOPLE'S INDUSTRY with even less competent managers because the previous ones are in fucking gulags and nobody wants the poisoned chalice.

He did mooch off his relatives and friends, so he did get the parasitic part right.

>loans and have to be paid back
this never happens.
