>How could Marx both use Nigger as an insult, believe Jews were greedy bastards who worshipped the coin and still believe, at least in his theory, in le epic blank slate and historical materialism?
The "Jewish nigger" thing was just banter, I wouldn't read too deeply into it.
>Marx prided himself in being scientific but the outright denial of innate human biological differences as a phenomenon and as the most important and scientifically explainable factor in inequality between humans is so silly on its surface that I can never take Marxism seriously. Even Rousseau understood that humans are unequal in a biological sense.
Ah, here you conflate two claims: that there are some biological differences in humans (obviously true, and Marx never said otherwise), and that those differences are "the most important and scientifically explainable factor in inequality between humans", which is a much bolder claim (and one Marx would surely reject). Do you earnestly believe that Jeff Bezos amassed his fortune primarily through "biological differences" from the rest of humanity? What exactly are those differences?
>I myself am very skeptical of Capitalism because of it's anti-cultural mode of being but poverty is not due to "exploitation", some people are just tragically stupid, psychically weak, disease ridden, have trauma... I could go on and on. Now you may say "we should take care of ill fortunate people." Fine & I may grant you that, but that is a SHOULD statement. It's not because of Capitalism, it's because of their own innate inferiority.
You list stupidity, weakness, disease, and trauma as innate defects, but aren't all of those things in many ways a product of outside forces? Of course, that's not to say that biological differences play no role, since, for example, two people who experience the same traumatic incident may have different psychological reactions. But without that incident - an outside force - there would be no trauma.
>I swear whenever I read Marxist's I can't ignore the fact that they are still heavily working under the confines of a Christian worldview. You cannot be an atheist and believe that humans are all equal, get this through your heads.
Again, no one thinks every human is exactly the same in every meaningful way.
>Nietzsche was right, Marx was wrong. Religion was created by the weak to govern the strong, not the other way around.
This is totally separate from everything else you're arguing.

All right-wing literature and all liberal literature which isn't at least somewhat compatible with communism.

>where the communists are currently enslaving and genociding an entire people
I guess you could call it that, though what it is in reality is liberation from backwards and oppressive religious and cultural practices and a movement toward a better way of life.

Alright anons, listen up. I am a complete Anti-Communist and think Marx is a crackpot and cringe. BUT... I have strong criticisms of capitalism and the system we have now and recognize it is entirely exploitative.

I have enough of an open mind to absorb more information and change my mind about the Material Conception of History, Labour Theory of Value, etc.

So, in your own words, what would you say to get me to change my mind about Marxism?

I desire to be the next Pol Pot. Communism? What's that? I just want the urbanoids to pay for their capitalist excesses, all the Little Eichmanns of a consumerist economy must fucking hang.
