Do tell all your followers the name of just one country which has had the class-free state-free society with collective ownership of the means of production that Marx and Engels wrote about. Take your time.

If you haven't seen this, well worth a watch. In 1969, he explains the communist tactics now used by the left. Racial Animus. Class warfare. Subversion of police. Why are US college students being indoctrinated as Jr Marxists? The modern left is communist.https://youtu.be/1Q6TR_RaXes

A lot of people in the United States confuse welfare states of Europe for socialist countries. So then they run around saying they want socialism, but they really are clueless about the defining aspects of it, such as no private property, a planned economy, etc.

Yes, but the ratio of people currently dependent on gov jobs, funding or benefits for medical care, income & housing rises in Europe as the size of their governments rise. It lasted up to 10 years ago due to determination & sacrifices of common cultures in each state. Not now.

The problem is that The communist manifesto is not an economic book. It is a philosophical essay and, most important part, a propaganda machine.

I’m curious as to what you consider “Marxism.” Without providing a definition, I can say “capitalism has killed hundreds of millions.” It really depends on what you classify as “capitalism” and how this economic system is directly or indirectly responsible for killing people.

I'd say it's pretty important to learn about something so you can understand why it failed rather than just being told it's bad.
-
That’s not why professors assign Marx or teach critical theory, though. They ignore all shortcomings of the ideology.
-
If you expect people to understand the flaws of an ideology without understanding it's fundamentals, including the things those who support that ideology consider beneficial as they understand them, you won't fully be able to understand the ideology. They'd need it from someone.

I had to read this poisonous book in college too. Thank goodness the neurological damage wasn't permanent

oh poor you having to read something you disagree with. fuck intellectual curiosity, right? socialists, anarchists, communists and leninist are all exactly the same thing and you don't need to know anything about them just be against.

It's not the fact that we have to learn terrible things and ideas in order to learn from them and grow intellectually, it's the frame that this book is praised in the ethos of college culture that is the problem. It's a criticism on cultural marxism spreading on campuses.

Capitalism has killed even more. 10 million a year die due to lack of basic medicines. This happens because it cannot be afforded.
