There is so much wrong here
I'm sorry this critique is simply bad
Quote:Let's just first say that Marx was convicted that capitalism was on a brink of collapse in his lifetime.Nope, he thought it might but he was never certain it would.
Quote:He preached that Marxism will arise out of capitalism as a new class of people called proletarians who will know no borders between countries. That there will be no exploitation and no hierarchy anywhere in the society. He envisioned himself that he discovered some new form of man.That was the ideal Marx made it clear he never believed it would be that perfect that was merely the ideal goal.
Quote:Furthermore, he preached that as proletarians arise they will abolish all political borders and all politics would stop existing. Then the technology from the capitalist society and labor free of all alienation would produce a socialist utopia where everyone has everything.Again that was Marx made it clear he never believed it would be that perfect. That was merely the ideal goal.
Quote:Communist manifesto claimed that Marx's communism could be defined in one sentence: abolition of all private property. In his "Das Kapital", Marx spelled it out: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs," although he failed to explain how this would work.Marx did explain how it would work. But acknowledges Communism would need to be flexible to deal with Empirical realities
Quote:And like Jesus, Marx failed to live up to his preaching since he sexually exploited a maid that worked for him and his wife by fathering a child with her.Their little actual evidence for that story.
Quote: He also pretty much never worked in his life but got most of the money from his pal Friedrich Engels.Where was it a requirement you work to be a Marxist?
I'm sorry this critique is simply bad
Quote:But notice- especially on DS9 - capitalism still thrives....Yeah, and the Ferengi are pretty much the weakest of the Alpha and Beta Quadrant powers. Oh and when Rom becomes Grand Nagus he seriously starts reforming their society to fit the norm of that age
It' s nearly a religion to the Ferengi......
And they aren' t giving away the latinum
..
Quote:I haven't read Marx's writings, but I have read the Communist Manifesto and other assorted Marxist-Lenninst litererature.Yeah, it was getting better but only after decades more of the horrible treatment of workers and the tireless efforts of labor activists. I didn't just get better it was FORCED to get better, And I'm sorry the core principles of exploitation remain so Marxs central criticisms remain
I enjoyed the episode of Genius of the Modern World on Marx (on Netflix). It made the point that no-one cared about his Das Kapital at the time, and the capitalist society was getting better, not worse at the end of his life.
Quote:And just like Jesus's - Marx's rabid followers just keep on singing praises to his name......No, what's even sadder misrepresenting a historical figures idea's
Sad, isn' t it?
