(June 20, 2023 at 4:35 pm)Nishant Xavier Wrote: Marx himself was not a Communist? Lol. Guess that's why he wrote the Communist Manifesto. "The Communist Manifesto summarises Marx and Engels' theories concerning the nature of society and politics, namely that, in their own words, "[t]he history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism. In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions", which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world.[1][2]" (Wiki)
Now, here's some information, for those who wish to profit from it, about how Communists think and why Appeasement is deadly. If you want to wake up before it's too late, you can. If not, that's also ok. But I will not stop speaking the Truth about what Communists have done and how they think.
Bolshevik Revolutionary Dmitry Manuilsky declared, "War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. But today we are too weak to strike. Our day will come in 30-40 years. But first we must lull the capitalist nations to sleep with the greatest overtures of peace and disarmament known throughout history. And then, when their guard is dropped, we will smash them with our clenched fist."
It is the oldest trick in the book, the Trojan Horse of a False Peace, to let your enemy drop their guard, so that you can "smash them with our clenched fist." this is how Commies think. The Communist Chinese Party is influenced by the same madness that influenced the Bolshevik Terrorists.
Yes, Marx himself was not a communist as you would have seen, but not understood, the term to have been used.
The “communist” in Communist Menifesto refer to sects of Jacobin in the 1840s who regarded themselves as descendants of the radical phase of the 1789 French Revolution. The outlook of these sects were socialist rather than communism as the terms are understood in the 20th century. These “communist” sects instigated a few ineffectual efforts at forceful,social reform and effectively petered out and disappeared as political influence by the 1850s.
Marx developed his signal Marxist social, economic, and political theory not in the communist manifesto but in the Das Kapital published 20 years later. In it Marx repudiated the notion that utopia comes from random violent overthrow of existing social order. Rather he hypothesized that his communist utopia arises naturally from a broad base out of highly developed capitalistic societies, and would naturally replace most existing social order in what he considered predictable and scientific way. The mainstream communists of the 20th century descend from those who claim the Das Kapital, not the communist manifesto, to be the theoretical basis of their struggle. These people call themselves communists not I n homage to the communists of 1840s, but to the communards of Paris Commune of 1870s.
But communists of 1880s and those who later succeeded in gaining power anywhere in the 20th century actually did so by repudiating the central thesis of Marx as outlined in the Das Kapital. Marx hypothesized that utopian communism arises naturally, from a broad proletarian base, out of very highly developed industrialized technological society, not violently through peasant mob instigated by a cliche of professional revolutionaries, out of barely industrialized or agrarian societies. Karl Marx certainly would not have approved of either the Russian or the Chinese communist revolutions because these are precisely the opposite, nor would he have considered them anything like a step in the right direction towards the highest stage of social development as he envisioned.
While most communist movements of the 20th century paid lip service to Marx while ignoring his central tenant than progress towards a better society than possibly under capitalism is only possible in society that already achieved advanced capitalism, The CCP under Xi Jinping stopped even paying lip service. The official party line is china’s pragmatic embrace of capitalism economic structure and tools under authoritarianism of the communist party has produced a track record of success over the last 30 years that proves actual Chinese practice to be superior to Marx’s theories. They call the Chinese practice “socialism with Chinese character”, not “communism”.
