>The dialectical analysis unequivocally establishes the manifestation of American imperialistic tendencies which oppresses the proletariat masses both domestically and internationally. Thus, the categorical imperative arises to align oneself with any state that openly opposes the American hegemonic presence, regardless of its actual socio-economic characteristics, as such opposition inherently signals a socialist ideology that is inherently aligned with the noble tenets of utopian egalitarianism.

Based. I'm realized I was clinically retarded after getting an IQ test that rated me at 79, but it just goes to show that IQ realy doesn't mean anything. I've had many people call my posts based and redpilled and it just goes to show you how little /pol/tards and their tiny chins really know if an idiot like me can easily comprehend the works of the communist party and make based posts on the regular.
Incels cope and seethe.

>YO LITTLE STIRNER, I JUST SHIT IN MY OWN HAT TO DENY THE EGO. RESIGN! OR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!

>Ok, so get this. I took meta-narrative writings of an ideological schizo too far gone from reality, and what I did was apply it to the real world. What aspect have I contributed to this new dogma? Why the economic of course! Have I ever held a job in my life? No, why? Anyway, this is going to be the big thing, I think it's pretty foolproof, don't you think?

>Muh labor theory of value
This indicates the rightoid's lack of understanding considering Marx abandoned it in Das volume 3

>Dude revolution will just happen. Why? It did in the past I guess. Seriously just trust me bro. *Proceeds to write 3000 pages of obsolete economic theory*

Started reading Marx lately and I couldn’t help but ask myself the following:

Would he be horrified to see how his ideas would be adapted and used after his death?

The millions dead from Bolshevism, Stalinism, Maoism, etc. the Frankfurt School’s radical transformation of academia, the internal hatred of western values among the intelligentsia radiating out into the rest of society, etc.?

Also, I’ve heard people say that Marx was descriptive rather than prescriptive. He thought communism was inevitable but didn’t actually advocate for bringing it about. If that’s true then what was his expectation for the particulars of HOW it would come about; how did he imagine private property could be abolished without despotism and authoritarianism? (Even some members of the proletariat will hold private property and might not want to consent to it’s redistribution).

>And I guess das it mane, a nigga could even say dat Das Kapital
Oh wow... So this is the power of leftist literature...

Public transportation should be free. Prove me wrong

Money? BAD

DUUDE, the value of things is the congealed labour power in them. *hits bong*. There are things that contradict my theory? Just ignore them bro, they aren't real. *collapses from marijuana overdose*

Dude, the value of things is equal to the congealed labour power in them. *hits bong*. Oh, what's that? There are things that are very expensive just because they are rare and people want them? Just ignore them bro, they aren't real.

>dude,like, just be yourself
