apply marx and his analysis of capitalism to offer an interpretation of the text.

ie, look at things like commodity fetishism, exploitation of proletariat etc

>> No.3311478

how about this:
don't follow a Jewish troll philosophy

well, at least it's not psycho-analysis.

okay but that's Rothbard you're talking about
unless your definition of fascism is "everything I don't like"

>> No.3311620

>>3311608
Rothbard never had anything to do with Pinochet or post-junta Chile. Friedman notoriously did.

>> No.3311635

>>3311620
a. Pinochet wasn't a fascist and his Chile wasn't a fascist state, as was heavily implied by that post
b. Rothbard approved of the economic policies of actual fascist states and many of his views are compatible with white nationalism

>> No.3311642

Take a copy of any given Marxist text and rub it off of the other text furiously until both of the texts are on fire. Extinguish, and then proceed to read the other text. It is now Marxist, as all of the Marxism has rubbed off of the first book and has ended up on the book you wish to read.

The downside of this, of course, is that the original Marxist text which you have used to create the Marxist reading of the second is now Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. You may use this as you will; beating the poor, throwing at orphans &c.

Yeah, sure.
>On the morning of September 12, Jara was taken, along with thousands of others, as a prisoner to the Chile Stadium (renamed the Estadio Víctor Jara in September 2003[5] ). In the hours and days that followed, many of those detained in the stadium were tortured and killed there by the military forces. Jara was repeatedly beaten and tortured; the bones in his hands were broken as were his ribs.[6] Fellow political prisoners have testified that his captors mockingly suggested that he play guitar for them as he lay on the ground with broken hands. Defiantly, he sang part of "Venceremos" (We Will Win), a song supporting the Popular Unity coalition.[6] After further beatings, he was machine-gunned on September 16, his body dumped on a road on the outskirts of Santiago and then taken to a city morgue where 44 bullets were found in his body.
