Comments by "Jake Johnson" (@ElectronFieldPulse) on "What Is Marxism?" video.

That is the exact opposite of what happened, lol. Marx was wrong about so much, his theories led to widespread misery.

@DemigodoftheSea - Based on very little? You mean how implementing Marxist thoughts turned out horribly every single time? How it always ended up in a dictatorship that fell behind capitalist countries? Marxists who refuse to acknowledge the mountain of empirical evidence we have about socialism are funny.

@DemigodoftheSea - Honestly man, your response is just boring. It is the same standard tropes you get with delusional socialists. Just like "It will work next time" or "It wasn't real socialism!" Your ideas have been thoroughly debunked, which is why no one takes them seriously anymore. You aren't a threat to US capitalists, you are completely irrelevant with no power and no path to power. Your ideas don't work on a fundamental level, it doesn't matter if everyone or no one was interfering with them. Funnily enough, capitalists were easily strong enough to withstand outside pressure. You are wrong about so many things it is actually sad seeing someone brainwashed like you. Maybe someday in the future you can do what most people do and move on from your immature, extreme ideologies.

@DemigodoftheSea - My God dude, you are too far gone. You are about 100 years too late, but you still think socialism has a future, haha. I am really sorry you ended up like this, I know the allure of bad ideas can be tempting when they speak to an issue you care about, but your complete lack of intelligence in analyzing this "solution" means that your ideas just can't be taken seriously. Like I said, you aren't a threat to anyone, you are irrelevant.

@DemigodoftheSea - Hahahahaha. So, Americans are wanting social ownership of the means of production? What have you been smoking? Americans want universal healthcare, not socialism. You are so detached dude, it is scary how fanatical people can get when spoon fed the right ideology?
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Hahahahahs. Thr majority of not a single demographic wants socialism. Our young people are just dumb, and they conflate government programs with socialism. And as they age and grow smarter, this association always drops off. It is truly mind boggling that you think some socialist revolution is on the way. Not a single politician is advocating for it. The most extreme is Bernie, and he isn't saying to overthrow capitalism. You are off your rocker mate.
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Hahaha. Good luck buddy, I am sure your socialist revolution is coming any day now. Any day...
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Lol, any day now bud. You think by the end of the decade? Maybe in 30 years? When are we talking, the revolution has a lot of ground to make up, lol
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Lol, you are full of archaic ideas. Now you are being luddite on top of a socialist, haha. You just can't get enough bad ideas, can you?
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Haha, right, any day now. It's not like your kind hasn't been predicting this same thing forever. Markets adapt, labor adapts. You just desperately want your insane ramblings to be true. Maybe stop doom scrolling reddit and actually wake up kid, it would do you some good. Here is a hint, no serious people think there will be 50% of people without a job in 10 years. Or 20. Maybe you and Andrew Yang can run for president together, lol.

@DemigodoftheSea - hahahahahaha, we turned out enslaved to our employer? Damn bro, I am lower class in the US and I don't feel enslaved at all. Just like when Orwell said that socialists aren't caring about the poor, they are just jealous of those that do better than them. You think your idea, over 100 years old, and idea that has never worked and no one takes seriously, you think it is suddenly going to work because of automation!? Hahaha, you guys are always good for a laugh at least. Any day now comrade, all we have to lose is our chains. I am curious though, what year? I want to short the stock market, so if you could tell me when this collapse is coming, I would greatly appreciate it!
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Why do you think I quoted Orwell? It was because he was a socialist, and even he could see it was primarily driven by jealousy. I can forgive him since socialism was new at the time, and he never praised any of the socialist countries. But to live in this day and age and still endorse socialism? That requires a large amount of ignorance. You keep waiting on this black swan event that won't change anything. Entire industries like textile were destroyed, and yet the labor market adapted. The only thing that is going to happen to AI is that it will be used as a tool and people will invent new jobs. There is literally 0 signs that we will run out of jobs. So, instead of relying on evidence, you rely on speculation, just like socialists were sure they were going to bury capitalism in the 20th century, lol. People like you stay attached to an idea for emotional reasons, and it shows how lacking they are intellectually. Go to any university and talk to the econ department, they will laugh you out of the room. Or are they "brainwashed by capitalism" hahaha

@DemigodoftheSea - Holy crap dude, this is just boring. Ya, socialism is great until it is actually implemented. Oh wait, that means it is terrible, never was great, and is only appealing to jealous, bitter people. We currently have massive labor shortage dum dum, there is no lack of jobs. But like everything with you people, it is always "coming soon" and you are "sure it as around the corner". What don't you get? You are part of a discredited movement, you hang on to unfalsfiable future events. Just like socialists/communists of the past. You people are worse than religious zealots, I swear. Same amount of intelligence. And to top it off, you think the majority of Americans want socialism, when all they want are expanded government programs in a capitalist system. Touche. You are like the gold medalist for bad takes, lol
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Hahahah, I can't anymore. If you are so unrepentingly slow that you think it failed because of outside intervention.... You will grow up some day kid. I am not going to argue with someone who is clearly a teenager and not educated enough to have an informed opinion, it is like picking on the handicapped. Best of luck to you, and make sure to stay in school.

@DemigodoftheSea - Could you point me to the nearest scientific paper which shows socialism was only ruined by outside interference? Surely this isn't a very dumb trope trotted out by socialists, so surely you have access to just one reputable article which proves this, right?
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Still waiting on that scientific paper bud!
1
@DemigodoftheSea - No, I want a quantified scientific paper which shows it. Not descriptions of events. Surely if it is true, you can produce that, correct? You know, how modern economists model different variables and analyze them? Or, let me guess, you simply assume that is the reason with exactly 0 proof to back you up. And let me remind you, articles about the US doing this or that is not proof. I know science isn't your strong suit, but I'll walk you through it. You need a paper proving causation or at least strong correlation in a multi variable systemic analysis. Very standard papers for economics. But let me guess, you have no such thing but you are still soooooooo sure. Lol, you are not to be taken seriously dude. I already know your answer wont be able to provide it because it isnt true. It is just socialiats coping, losers.

@DemigodoftheSea - No, it isn't scientific dummy. Every heard the saying "the plural of anecdote is not data"? I am a biochemist, so I am very familiar with the scientific evidence, you clearly are not. Linking editorials, historical descriptions, etc... is not evidence for your claim. As always, socialists show their utter inability to grasp simple intellectual concepts. Listen kid, you will learn this stuff once you grow up. You don't have enough knowledge right now to make intelligent opinions, but hopefully that will change as you mature.
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Yes dum dum. Let me explain what "the plural of anecdote isn't data" and basic science for you. The claim "CIA interference is the main reason the Soviet Union fell" is not the same as showing that the CIA interfered. The former causally links foreign interference as the main reason the USSR fell, the latter just shows they interfered. See the difference? Proof of meddling is NOT proof that the meddling is the main reason they fell. I didn't think I would need to explain something so simple to you, but you are a socialist, so I don't know why I expected anything more. Kid, you aren't the smartest, sorry. You don't know basic things about science, what proof is, etc... You need to mature before you can even begin to grasp this concept. You are just full of reddit cliches that you repeat like a good sheep, but that doesn't mean you understand anything, which is clearly evident from your confusion here. It would be like saying "I think pop causes cancer. My proof? Pop exists and people with cancer exist" That is how juvenile the whole thing sounds. Do you still not understand or do I need to hold your hand some more? Not sure I can simplify it much further for you.
1
@DemigodoftheSea - Your claim was that socialism would have worked if it wasn't for American interference. You have shown exactly 0 proof of this. So, do you have the proof or not? Stop wasting my time, you are annoying and I don't feel like arguing with a child.
1
@DemigodoftheSea - hahahaha. Now you are trying to deflect by saying I was talking about the wrong thing? You don't have evidence for ANY OF IT. You don't even understand what evidence is! Just go away kid, this is annoying now. I get it, you're a socialist and you're very sure of yourself. Good for you, bye.

@williamdavidpitt9938 - Those sound like entirely unimportant things. This video gets right pretty much all the overarching beliefs and systems that communists wanted/used. Socialists and communists are just mad because it includes all the negative things, which is pretty much everything with communism. Socialists cannot stand when people look at the application of their ideas, they want them to remain abstract and unfalsifiable so that they can claim their ideas will surely work the next time. Just give it up, hardly any serious adult thinks socialism is a good thing. Just a fringe lunatic fringe.
1
@williamdavidpitt9938 - Let me guess, Paul never says anything overtly negative about socialism and communism?
1
@williamdavidpitt9938 - Marxism is NOT science, at all. Science makes testable predictions which can be used to model and predict results. That is how scientists alter their theories to match with the empirical evidence. Marxists have refused the mountain of empirical evidence which shows their "idea" is nothing more than a poorly thought out, emotional lashing out at the rich.
1
@williamdavidpitt9938 - Marxism has failed in literally every endeavor it has set out for. It ignores the massive complexity of economics, so no surprise that Marx wrote unscientific papers which simplified issues to such a degree his analysis was worthless. If anyone claims to be a scientist or someone who upholds science, then they must be someone who looks at the empirical data. Socialists/communists abhor the actual scientific method. They want to keep is abstract so no one can falsify their claims.

@MiserableMuon - Right. So, the great leap forward was Western imperialism? How about the cultural revolution? How about when the commie students went around killing people with wrongthink?
1
@MiserableMuon - Communism/Chinese CCP caused many problems, it wasn't the fault of the West.
1
@MiserableMuon - Jesus, I can already tell what kind of zealot you are. There is no chance for a mature and informative discussion with you. Good luck, I'm sure your socialism is around the corner.
