>For as soon as the distribution of labour comes into being, each man has a particular, exclusive sphere of activity, which is forced upon him and from which he cannot escape. He is a hunter, a fisherman, a herdsman, or a critical critic, and must remain so if he does not want to lose his means of livelihood; while in communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.
Doesn't sound like much of a strawman to me.

lel commies are so retarded and shortsighted. they are genuinely incapable of critical thought, incapable of anything gut huffing their own utopian farts and exclaiming "bro what if we just make the world a perfect place. im an intellectual genius, only a retard wouldn't want to live in a perfect world" without a shred of awareness regarding the realities of the human experience.

Movieblobert was a fond memory to me before the Tumblr 4chan wars. He had the latest hype scoop on Capeshit 5.

I still don't know what the final late stage Reddit cancer is. But I know leftism is an ingredient. They need leftism to promote the r selected Estrogen goblin force. They don't need Leftism to understand a book worth reading and thinking about. They no longer need multivolume Qurans or Communist Manifestos nor Rules for Radicals to sway them but mask signs and nondescript movie trailers. Their degraded minds are now granular in their knee jerk pangs on command. I heard some MagaTard lecture me on how the Air force bombs its own bases. His point was telling me that James Mason is like the guy bombing his own Air force base out of stupidity and failure to obey command. I gave up on trying to explain that obedience to command is what CAUSED the USAF to bomb its own and that rampant breakdown of the group against itself and everyone else is the goal of a subversive. Went over his head of course. That the USAF is so goblin stupid it bombs its own bases continually without any outrage or uproar or any public concern for survival, waste, war effort shows the fantasy fiction reality der normus redditus is huffing. There is no basis for appeal because there is no basis for foundation. Based? Based on what? I'm based you're not! Based on what? Like you or could/would know, Redditcuck!

Imagine believing that randomly sharing things wouldn't get taken advantage of. Marxism is an ideology for people who have no knowledge of how the world works.

I asked the tripfag the same question a few times regarding anarchism and literally all she could produce was "it just works"

basically leftist ideologies are the ultimate midwit trap for people who think they've figured it all out because they put together a system that sounds nice and makes sense in the context of a vacuum but they are too stupid to understand that functioning in a vacuum and being applicable to real life are not the same thing

the answer is there is no doing fuck all without central planning authority or hierarchical structure, and when you are talking about mass confiscating private property and controlling distribution, that centralized power structure needs to be virtually totalitarian in its power, hence why every leftist revolution turns out the way it does, with totalitarian state capitalism

watching leftists present themselves as intellectuals is genuinely bizarre and pathetic given how easily their beliefs can be instantly deconstructed, and its often scary if they actually have the potential to destroy the lives of everyone around them

the real question is why are leftists such useful tools?
>of course we will take the means of production you just have to destroy your civilization and fight this revolution/civil war for us
>oh sorry i meant WE will take the means of production lol
>fast forward to the 60s
>the leftists are getting uppity why dont we trick them into dividing working class society and depressing wage growth via civil rights and mass immigration lol then destroy them by turning them onto a degenerate culture of drug fueled consumerism
>it works perfectly
>fast forward to 2011
>they're getting uppity again, turn the anti white sentiment and mass immigration and degeneracy up to 11
>it works again

>god isn't real because..... he just isn't, okay?

taking marxism seriously is a sign of genuine retardation and pseudo intellectualism

>exchange value is a manifestation of intrinsic value
>intrinsic value is an immutable constant based on some other input constant
>actually, exchange value is in flux, but is totally just “accidental”
>I will now continue to define value in such a way as to guarantee that which I seek to prove
>(looks out window): aha! 1qtr corn is trading for 1cwt iron.
>although this relationship only relates to one market at one instant in time, I will assume this is a constant immutable ratio similar to volume conversions and continue to build a theory of value based on this instantaneous measure
>behold! The law of value, which states, that exchange value (something observably dynamic) is but a manifestation of intrinsic value (something I assume to be static, for reasons I never explain) which is the manifestation of labor hours in the commodity’s production.
>all labor is built of homogeneous labor units
>well, I mean socially necessary labor
> well actually, labor units seem to be different in the real world sooooo…what I really meant was that labor units are actually derived from the average labor of the entire industry of analysis
>yes!….a dynamic quantity(exchange value) is a manifestation of a static quantity(intrinsic value) which is a further manifestation of yet another dynamic quantity(socially necessary labor time) which is really just the manifestation of a static quantity (average labor unit) that I just made up just now which at no time ever been or could possibly be calculated or used in anyway I claim it to be at any point in observable economic history.
>oh by the way, I will disavow this entire law of value by vol.3 as I concede it has no legitimate representation in the observable world (balanced rates of profit), but will keep the conclusions based on this terrible logic (exploitation theory) reducing my philosophy to a religion.

not to mention the fact that all of his economic work basically acts as a support mechanism for the idea that workers would seize the means of production through revolution and form an egalitarian society, which is a comically retarded idea, like yea bro yea, lets just ignore the fact that "seizing the means of production" inherently requires totalitarian centralization of power (the means of production wont seize and reorganize themselves you cant just have a free-for all, and you also have to keep the food and water coming throughout all of this and stamp out counter revolutionaries) and every single time a communist revolution has been successful its just resulted in the people involved in that centralized power getting control over the means of production while everyone else stays poor or dies

Transgenderism results from the pressures of capitalism. Through the ruthless exploitation of the worker by the bourgeoisie, the worker internalizes the idea that he is just an expendable unit, interchangeable with a machine, a woman, or even a negro. Soon enough, under the mindless toil of day to day labor, the constant humiliation of his condition, and the process of alienation, the worker is no longer connected to masculinity, femininity, or even humanity itself. It is at this point that the idea of chopping his dick off no longer seems insane to the worker, but rather a release from the economic bonds that so hopelessly enslave him.

Marxists are bunch of retards, simple as.

>Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

The incel phenomenon is the ultimate and final refutation of Marxist historical materialism. One of the basic tenents of materialist conception of history is that old social structures (state, institutional religion etc.) decay with the advancements in material production therefore opulence renders most traditional institutions obsolete. According to Engels (and it is probable Marx would agree) monogamy belongs to those institutions that will wither away in communism. From 'Principles of Communism':
>It will transform the relations between the sexes into a purely private matter which concerns only the persons involved and into which society has no occasion to intervene. It can do this since it does away with private property and educates children on a communal basis, and in this way removes the two bases of traditional marriage – the dependence rooted in private property, of the women on the man, and of the children on the parents.
and 'Origins of Family, Private Property and the State'
>We can already see from this that to emancipate woman and make her the equal of the man is and remains an impossibility so long as the woman is shut out from social productive labor and restricted to private domestic labor. The emancipation of woman will only be possible when woman can take part in production on a large, social scale, and domestic work no longer claims anything but an insignificant amount of her time. And only now has that become possible through modern large-scale industry, which does not merely permit of the employment of female labor over a wide range, but positively demands it, while it also tends towards ending private domestic labor by changing it more and more into a public industry.
But there is one thing missing here - we now know for a fact that in absence of social pressure, traditional values etc. women settle for the top of the top of male population, this is supported by OkCupid data where women rated 80% of men as average or below average in attractiveness. It was possible for Engels to omit this simple fact because he lived in pre-Tinder times, ironically he was reaping the benefits of the very traditional monogamous society he sought to destroy - no offense but both Marx and Engels were not too good looking (at best 6/10), check Engels' early youth photos without his beard where he looks like your stereotypical mouthbreather.
