Press S to spit on his grave. Good riddance to that lazy fuckwit who created an ideology leading to the deaths of untold millions. Even his own mother thought he was full of shit, constantly asking her for gibes literally wishing for her death just so he could get money for booze faster.

Over the years he complained repeatedly that his mother did not want to help him out of his financial distress, and openly hoped for her demise in order to hasten receipt of his inheritance. Henriette's view was that he should do more to earn money, she commenting "if only Karl had made Capital, instead of just writing about it".

Two weeks ago was Hitler's birthday but he didn't get a special thread.

imagine being this terrified of the concept of universal healthcare and welfare that you let the marxists live rent free in your head

My issues with Marx is entirely separate from universal healthcare. Conversely, imagine solely defending an ideology that has killed millions of people and more impoverished just because universal healthcare might be a good idea.

capitalism, on the other hand, has never killed anybody ever

everyone knows that

yeah but pure marxism =/= ML, Stalinism, Maoism, Trotsky's Permanent Revolution, Juche, Nazbol gang, or Titoism

If I get uptight about people conflating Hitler's Nazism with proper Fascismo Italiano I gotta give the other side a fair deal here too.

I don't entirely disagree but socialism isn't communism. His most famous written work isn't called The Socialist Manifesto. You can't compare "socialist" UK or any European country to Communist China of the past or Soviet Russia. But you most certainly can compare those last two countries to what Marx was advocating for.

I won't deny capitalism is flawed and that there have been deaths because of it, but it's not anywhere near the numbers communism has. I won't doubt your specific name brand Verbatim communism, but compare countries in the past (or now) that have tried to capitalist countries (including European countries because they're not communist) isn't going to make a good comparison.

Yeah, your dreams of ancapistan will likely never happen.

A man can dream.

Das sounds like the type of guy to support the rights of a married gay couple to guard their commercial cannabis farm with automatic weapons.

I also support your right to purchase recreational nuclear warheads with the cryptocurrency you made selling heroin to child prostitutes.

That's corporatism or socialism. Not capitalism.
