Yes, Black people, we should read Marx.

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

Yes, read Marx, the same man who inspired some of the most brutal, evil dictatorships in the world and whose ideas lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. Over 100 million in China alone, but who's counting?

You should actually read into the context of said atrocities because to act like he and Engles envisioned Authoritarian Socialism as the end game of Communism is highly misinterpreting their works

Regardless of intent it was the end result. You have to judge ideas by their real world results. A result far worse than Adam Smith and Capitalism where the worst atrocities are limited to certain companies misdoings (i.e. child labor, fire hazard, oil spills, wrongful deaths, etc).

We know Capitalism works. Communism has yet to be shown to be applicable.

I don't think Communism has ever been applied. Countries claim communism. Doesn't mean that's what they're actually practicing.

Your being disingenuous acting like there has never been blood spill and war over land/goods ie. capitalism.

Capitalism is working and yet it's literally killing the planet.

But a dude writes a book simply saying that the workers of the world should be the ones in charge of their own destiny is the bad guy because of shyt he couldn't forsee into the future .

Also if we're keeping it real @videogamestashbox.com post points out that communism doesn't just start with Karl Marx.

We gotta make sure everyone gets a piece

otherwise we'd be native status, where a handful get all the spoils and we living in District 9.

Remember Marx for How Much He Got Wrong

but also that the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights. The parent therefore may not murder or mutilate his child, and the law properly outlaws a parent from doing so. But the parent should have the legal right not to feed the child, i.e., to allow it to die.

Now if a parent may own his child (within the framework of non-aggression and runaway-freedom), then he may also transfer that ownership to someone else. He may give the child out for adoption, or he may sell the rights to the child in a voluntary contract. In short, we must face the fact that the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children. Superficially, this sounds monstrous and inhuman. But closer thought will reveal the superior humanism of such a market. For we must realize that there is a market for children now, but that since the government prohibits sale of children at a price, the parents may now only give their children away to a licensed adoption agency free of charge.[12] This means that we now indeed have a child-market, but that the government enforces a maximum price control of zero, and restricts the market to a few privileged and therefore monopolistic agencies. The result has been a typical market where the price of the commodity is held by government far below the free-market price: an enormous “shortage” of the good. The demand for babies and children is usually far greater than the supply, and hence we see daily tragedies of adults denied the joys of adopting children by prying and tyrannical adoption agencies. In fact, we find a large unsatisfied demand by adults and couples for children, along with a large number of surplus and unwanted babies neglected or maltreated by their parents. Allowing a free market in children would eliminate this imbalance, and would allow for an allocation of babies and children awayfrom parents who dislike or do not care for their children, and toward foster parents who deeply desire such children. Everyone involved: the natural parents, the children, and the foster parents purchasing the children, would be better off in this sort of society

white people love "black communists"

 

[JahFocus CS]

white people love "black communists"

The same cacs who killed millions of Vietnamese and Koreans in the name of anticommunism and propped up dictatorships across Africa, Asia, and Latin America that killed millions more? Assassinated dozens of Panthers and imprisoned, brutalized, and harassed hundreds more?

For what purpose would those cacs “love black communists” and why would they suddenly be going against their historical record of mercilessly killing and sabotaging communists, including those who are African?

That was not a quality post @EastCoastNaga.

It's something I've noticed recently in "black socialist" & "black communist" circles. There were always too many white hipsters in the mix & i didnt trust their intentions. Ideologically I agree with many black communist strategies.
