The dank memes on /leftypol/ have layer upon layer of depth. The deepest layers are only accessible to those with a sophisticated understanding of Marxism and its later iterations, which you can only get with either a ludicrous amount of scholarly discipline or a passion for Marxist philosophy. And really, if you're on 4chan, you're probably about as far from disciplined as you can get.

The only way to redeem Marx is to accept that it was butchered by Lenin and the rest.

Consider the peasant who lay awake at night listening to the neighbor's wife wailing after finally losing her malnourished toddler. It must have really made him think. People like this were uneducated and misinformed and couldn't see or stop what was happening among the upper echelons of the "revolution", but whose fault is that? Their only crime is being flawed humans like everyone else, there are many highly educated people with the internet at their fingertips who end up with ridiculous beliefs, what chance did they have?

Marxism is at its heart about fighting back against those trying to impose their will on you, even the edgy little shits of 4chan call people "cucks" when people do not. Some of his more bizarre ideas were only the result of him trying to analyze the problem from every angle, in part because this is what a scientist or engineer would do and in part because of the urgency of his task. Sir Bazalgette's sewage system saved 10000s of lives from cholera, Marx was trying to liberate billions from a life of poverty and decrepidation.

I would say Marxism is incomplete rather than inherently flawed. Things like property and family social structures are ultimately beliefs, even libertarians realize this. The labor theory of value and the crisis of capitalism apply to a degree. Marx fully expected his work to be amended and improved. You'd have to have massively excessive standards to reject all this, if you set your biases and ego aside you've have to admit you are already a little bit marxist.

If I were to quibble on one thing, it's that Lenin's writings and understanding of Marxism still hold up reasonably well (in particular I was impressed with Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism), it's just that the practical realities of running Russia became too much for him after 1919 or so

Just read the "The relevance of the labour theory of value" published in 2009. He directly compares it to the neo-ricardian trade theory on a theoretical and empirical level. It's a decent chunk of math since in the second half of his work he starts using mathematical models but if you're genuinely interested you should get through it. The only real problem is that you'd have to find a translation since he wrote it in German.

>> No.8712225

I was just reading a paper of his using empirical data and econometric models, but that's not the point, the theory is already wrong in its premises and epistemological basis. Its only relevance is for the marxian implicit moral theory, not price formation.

FYI Marxism is not exactly the same thing as Communism in modern usage. Communism is a type of government and political ideology. Marxism is a critical theory or method of analysis that can be applied to a any cultural artifact (book, film, etc.) or culture and society in general. Think of Marxism as more akin to Feminism, for example, but providing a critical analysis with respect to class rather than gender. It's actually really interesting and fun, although it will make you more cynical and disillusioned than you ever thought possible.

Just because you aren't retarded and manage to accurately pinpoint problems with current societal power structures and of the economy in general does not make you a genius, and neither does it prove anything.

The problem with Marxism isn't that it *can* accurately point out shit that is true and negative in society, the problem is that it's a utopian ideology that grip people in a dangerous mania; a mania that historically speaking have left people dying in famines and authoritarian rule.

To actually believe in communism, you must have a mental defect or be REALLY naive. The people who hold political power would become equivalent to the bourgeoisie/upper class. There is NO way around this. Instead of the wealthy having the most influence (like in Capitalism) it is the people in political positions because they control the wealth. They essentially amount to the same thing, except in communism, it becomes a lot worse. Communism never takes into account the reality of the human psyche, something that Dostoevsky noted in Notes from the Underground.

On a semi-related note, this is why when you ask every person who advocates for communism what position would they hold in a communist society, they always reply with "oh I don't know, I think I would like a management/government position". None of them every reply with "I'd like to be the farmer/factory worker who slaves away with even less incentive than that in a capitalist society".

Stop hollowing out words. Trump isn't a fascist. He's something new.
You fuckers are so stuck in the 19th century it isn't even funny anymore.

Any political formantion you don't like = fascism.

Nah, it's something new dude. Trumpism. Putinism. New phenomena. They aren't the paramilitary movements of the early 20th century. That was essential. This is something more akin to the ancient world's Caesarism, albeit not totally.

We're gonna invent new words for it. New theories that succeed the phenomenon and need proceed ( like you fags do ).

Where are all you "tr00" Marxists now anyways? You think you're seriously a force to be reckoned with in the Left? Why are you deluding yourself? You're not making any fucking progress whatsoever. Identity politics has completely consumed the Left.

Even Zizek is hated by major swaths of the Left ever since he even dared have some questions about the refugees.

It tells me the left isn't full communist anymore. It tells me that actual communist parties aren't gaining any votes anywhere, despite them being legion. And where they gained control, they're utter shitholes or only pay lip service to the idea ( China ).

>Si por encima de todo ponemos la libertad individual y la igualdad de cuantas personas componemos esta organización, no podemos sino hacer lo propio con las entidades que constituimos. La organización de abajo hacia arriba, el federalismo, es lo que nos caracteriza.

La afiliación se organiza primero en su sindicato que constituye el núcleo básico y soberano de la organización.
