>That’s what socialism is about.

Because people are very positivistic and materialistic.

This is partly because of the rise of science, but also partly because every single field that doesn't involve the physical sciences are invaded either by Marxists, or by philosophers of Power, who are themselves materialistic and cannot handle any idea that tries to nuance perspectives on the world.

Take off the tinfoil.

>None of those things were due to capitalism. I mean the Pol Pot? Really?
Heh, as we say in France, "lapsus révélateur"

>Anyways, Lenin L-I-T-T-E-R-A-L-Y did nothing wrong.
Apart from killing millions of his own countrymen, and establishing a terrible regime which kill millions more worldwide.

Also if people dying is THE ONLY argument against authoritarian capitalism, why is it never an argument against communism?

Why is Marxism still a thing among you guys here at /lit/?
The best argument against this crap are countries like South Korea, Republic of China and West Germany at the time.

While North Korea, People's Republic of China and East Germany turned into absolute fucking shitholes, the others prospered and are now among the top tier in the world.
High living standard, no mass deaths needed.
Why would you endorse an idea that leads to nothing but tragedy?

>A new step in our collective race towards the bottom as we beg capital and manufacturing to stay in our countries and attack anyone who might create a territory "hostile" to investment?
Leftist shithead detected

why do marxists still exist?
this doctrine failed to deliver everytime
why do you remain fixed in your belief?

/lit/ being an unironic marxist niche on here, I figure this is the place to ask.

I've got memes too. Here, take one.

The worst kind of retard is the leftist. The further to the left, the more retarded.

I'm not a reactionary, I'm a libertarian.

>more deaths than all of world war I and II combined
>still reading Marxists
>still considering trying it out again

What's it with undergrads and their working class romanticism?
