Marxists claim that capitalism, along with anything other than marxism, always results in a wealthy ruling class and abject poverty for everyone not in that class. The reality of marxism is the ruling class lives in opulence, while the 'people' live in abject poverty, with shortages of everything and no way out of it, making them dependent upon the government. It has worked out that way EVERY time marxism has been implemented, and yet they still lie about that fact. I was stationed in Germany back in 1989, I have a ten pound chunk of the Berlin Wall sitting on the shelf next to me. The marxists claim the wall was put up to defend against nazis, trying to hide the fact it was erected to keep Germans from escaping socialism. Its a simple rule, if the government shoots you for trying to leave, they aren't trying to keep some nefarious 'other' out. They are trying to keep a better way of living out, because the ruling class would no longer be in charge if they didn't have marxism in place.

@hubertcumberdale2651 Resentment, envy, laziness, and entitlement are the pillars of marxism. They resent those who have earned, they envy what those people have earned, they feel entitled to what they have not earned, and are too damn lazy to go earn it for themselves. At the root of all of that marxist thinking is the belief that if I have something you do not, its because I took advantage of you, or stole it from you, to get it. Its the common denominator of every facet of marxism, from feminism, to post modernism, socialism, communism, and fascism. They try desperately to make it look like they are all different, but its the same abhorrent ideology behind all of that. I don't give a rats ass how much someone else has. I give a damn what I have, what I have earned, and what I want to do with it. The people pushing all this crap come from families that are far more well of than I am, and they claim to be fighting for me. They are whining and complaining for themselves, they care nothing of the suffering of others. That suffering is only a justification, an appeal to emotion fallacy, utilized to get people to sympathize with them.

@Boskov01 when marxism fails, their solution to its failure is 'MORE MARXISM! DO IT HARDER TO MORE PEOPLE!' They believe if you do it hard enough with an iron fist it will work. The biggest problem is that marxism incentivises people to do nothing, because it punishes those who do well and earn more than others through hard work, competence, or capability. There is no disabusing them of this, because they remain willfully ignorant to reality.

@Boskov01 with you and others in here, very much so. My target audience is those who have no idea, who might be on the fence, or simply ignorant of the consequences being passive and uninvolved can wreak upon us. Even when I get in an argument with someone online, they are not who I am trying to convince, its the passive readers who might run across what I write, that is who I want to reach and hopefully educate.

@ThatGuyNamedSammeh you guys were once the feared Vikings, who conquered a huge part of Europe and affected the course of human events. Now you have things like feminists trying to make the men sit to piss so they can all be equal. It seems the weak and mediocre have taken control and forced everyone to be like them. It kinda makes sense, since you have the US military keeping everyone else in check so Europe hasn't had a war in 76 years. Who needs to defend themselves when someone else can do it for you? Enjoy being dependent upon others, who tell you what you are worth and what you can do. I hear the weak minded love to live that way.

@chrisgoldie5577 the politicians and people who elected them must ignore the constitution to pull it off. They think now is the time to achieve their goals, they think we are demoralized enough that we will cave in. They do not understand nor comprehend the mindset of the average American who is not weak willed and begging to be dependent upon the government. They keep pushing, they don't realize what will happen if the government stops enforcing the law. they think they want that, because they have often been the victors after a conflict.. its going to be very different here in the US.. Very different.

@Alex Stange lol so you drank the koolaid too.. here's a hint. What a marxist says is VERY different from what a marxist DOES. When they accuse someone of something, its what they themselves are doing. Apparently ya don't know much about history, I mean actual history not the revised narrative fed to kids these days.I call socialism, communism, feminism, fascism, post modernism, progressivism, etc marxist because that is a root in every damn one of those. If you can't see the connection, you either aren't looking or you are completely unaware of what it actually is. Its a cult/religion, the priest class is the political elite, the god is the state, euphemistically called 'the people' because it enslaves the people rather than freeing them. Once again, they say one thing and do another, that is how it has been for the entire lifespan of the cult. In the big picture of all the ideologies foisted upon humans over the last hundred thousand years, marxism is akin to scientology... except scientologists don't throw you in camps and kill millions to force it on others... not that they wouldn't if given the opportunity, ideologues tend to skew to the crazy with any ideology. Willfully ignorant types amuse the hell out of me when they assume Karl had good ideas. Sure he points out some areas where capitalism fails, but his solutions and reasons for those failures were wrong. Putting his ideology into government like a theocracy is even more wrong. How many times do we have to watch it fail for people to realize that? I am very tired of people assuming we atheists are marxists, The only ideology I like is one where we are free to do what we please, provided we do not infringe upon others, and we are not controlled by others. The marxists can't help but demand to control others, and thus they are my sworn enemy, and have been for 32 years. You know, that thing called liberty.

@Lucas-sm2nr sorry to break it to you, but you have swallowed the propaganda. You probably think the Berlin Wall was erected to keep the nazis out of East Germany. You guys sound like religious nuts making up excuses for why your religion chops off heads while claiming to be a religion of peace, all the while claiming the world is 6000 years old, and your book proves it because it says it proves it. I lump them all together under marxism because they all have roots in marxism. Its all the same pile of shit, with different sprinkles. Don't be an idiot and think its a good idea, about class struggle or some other nonsense. It simply shows you haven't actually thought about it, you only believe what you have been told to believe... just like the evangelical christians who try to make dinosaurs and erosion fit into their narrative. Karl noticed things that were exploitable in capitalism, but his solutions result in abject poverty, no middle class, the few elites running everything while the 'proletariat' slaves for them, all under the guise of equality. What they claim to do is not what they do, if you can't see that, well you're either an idiot or you haven't thought about it after your indoctrination. Learn about some logical fallacies, learn to spot them. Then apply what you learn to your own little 'religion' and see how it fares. Ideologues have no choice but to go to fallacies when their ideology reaches its limit and starts contradicting itself. Stop listening to ideologues, think for yourself, and try to shed the lens that has been placed over your eyes.
