Communism. Literally every teenager who has read some Marx falls into considering himself as an intellectual since he sees himself as the only one who knows the truth about the capitalist production system while his parents, all of his classmates, friends... are victims of false consciousness. Some grow out of this bullshit, some don't.

There's only one sign: writing incoherent gibberish, and admiring writers who write incoherent gibberish.

Examples: Hegel, Bergson, Heidegger, Benjamin, Gadamer, Lacan, Adorno, Sartre, Levinas, Arendt, Merleau-Ponty, Levi-Strauss, Beauvoir, Ricoeur, Lyotard, Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, Irigaray, Badiou, Nancy, Rancière, Kristeva, Agamben, Latour, Zizek, Butler.

>He talked about abolition of social classes and substantial talks about principles which will create such abolition.

Marx theorized that capitalism would eventually give way to communism, with a transition period called the dictatorship of the proletariat. He never advocated for any particular "communist" ideology; he did not express value judgments either way.

>He talked about many other things, but the other guy was attempting to severely downplay his role in communism because it is a buzz word to trigger hatred

The term "communism" was invented by Marx. He used it as a placeholder for what was to come. He did not spend time outlining some utopian vision of the future. His interest was in crafting an accurate scientific model of the economic system of the 19th century.

The fact that you identify as "Marxist" is the part of the problem. Marx would have nothing to do with self-described "Marxists" as they exist today. In fact, if you define the term to denote seeing the world the way Marx did, then the business elites in America are all instinctive Marxists seeing how they are deeply committed to class struggle and are engaged in it all the time.

Uh, pretty sure that if someone misrepresents a thinker's views so egregiously as to come out on the opposite side, then the best advice is for them to actually read the work before commenting any further.

Marx had a great deal of importance to say about social and political issues, and about the economy, considering mostly an abstract model of 19th century capitalism which still provides much useful insight. He didn’t actually have a "plan". He said very little about the nature of a post-capitalist society other than how to obtain it.

Any statistics on how many people from 13 to 17 have actually read Marx? I've constantly heard this stereotype thrown around with absolutely no base at all. Marxism was popular at one point for college students (18-25) during the 1960s and '70s, but for the most part the bias has gone in the opposite direction: liberalism, libertarianism, or anarchism.

TEENS FOR THE MOST PART AREN'T READING MARX OR ANY ECONOMIST.

I read Marx as a teenager specifically because my uncle called me a "Marxist" for supporting Obama.

His complete ignorance motivated me to find out what "Marxism" was, when at that point, I was a liberal. See, it's the stupid rhetoric of the Right that pushes teenagers to communism because the stereotype already exists that this is some dumb radical ideology for teens.

Teens don't try to be liked by fat old baby boomers. They get angry when you box them in and associating Marxism with youth is just going to keep the youth interested in Marxism into their early adulthood period when they can start voting and buying guns.

Enjoy your retirement, gramps.

People who talk about authors by their first name as if they're good friends are more annoying.

"I love the work of James."
"James? William James?"
"No, dumbass. James Joyce. You should've known just by the first name."

Surnames aren't as common as first names so it's just more practical to say "Einstein" than to say "Albert."

>"I'm in college"

You're a young adult. Even if you consider those between 17 and 19 "teens", these still make up a tiny amount of the teen population (13-17 or 13-19). Most teens I've known are completely apolitical, nihilists, anarchists, or liberal. Of these, the apolitical and liberals were the most prominent.

Most teens accept capitalism and religion blindly than the approximate ~15% that question either ideas seriously.

Teens want to smoke weed, have sex, not die in a war, and make money. Liberalism offers them all of that and that's why most of them take the bait. Marxism is far more harsh and far more demanding. They MUST abolish property, they MUST fight in a revolution (and possibly die), they MUST read all these complex theories and economic works, etc.

Teens aren't nearly so intelligent or selfless as to give up their weed smoking, partying, or sex time for a 19th century philosopher that all the adults seem to irrationally fear and hate. They might sympathize with Marx BECAUSE he's feared and hated, but they usually won't sit down and read Kant, Hegel, Marx, and understand everything that easily.

It's easier to listen to TYT or The Amazing Atheist and just wank it until it's time to sleep.

Agreed. I would that I am communist, or left-leaning, or at least a man of the left, but those people and that kind of attitude annoy me fiercely. It's usually, as you said, either teens, who read a bit of Marx, or college students (freshmen) mostly. This kind of leftism shouldn't be takens seriously.
If they get a job, start paying taxes and if they engage in serious political struggle that has effects and devote time to learning and studying communist, socialist or anarchist literature then they deserve respect. Othervise it's imbecilism.
Lenin, who was, whatever you think of him, a great politician, and a practical man, as well as a theoretician, called this kind of leftism an "infantile disorder".
