Marxism is the biggest ideology of our days, the kind of ideology Marx criticized so many times.

But not only marxism. Every political ideology is no more than an ideology, a partisanship that rules our thought, and our choices. If a right-wing politician has a policy that is greatly beneficial to our society as a whole, the left-wing will completely disregard it as "capitalist" and "bourgeoise focused". And it goes both ways, left-wing policies will be neglected by everyone just for being left-wing.

Marx, through marxism, divided our society. He thought he were fighting against ideology, while creating the biggest ideology of our times.

Where the fuck are people getting this from?
Don't buy into the Marxist Boogeyman. Marxism is a historical philosophy that has very little impact on contemporary politics.

>Every political ideology is no more than an ideology,
Holy Tautology, Batman! Do you mean to tell me that an ideology.... is an ideology? STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES! BREAKING NEWS!

But more seriously, you seem to think that Ideologies are bad things. That "being ideological" is a bad thing. There is no escape from Ideology, there is no neutral objective position from which to grasp and understand the world. Republicanism is an Ideology, Catholicism is an ideology, Scientific Materialism is an ideology, Nihilism is an ideology, and yes, so is Marxism.

This is stupid revisionism. Marxism is not to blame for whatever is driving contemporary partisanship. You seriously believe that a hundred year old book is why lawmakers refuse to work together? Could it be that there are simpler, more recent, more direct reasons for such squabbling? Could it be the structure of democracies being centered on majority rule (thus providing little incentive to work with a minority party)? Could it be that popular elections force poiliticians into simplified thinking and extremism, not because they believe such things are helpful, but because to do otherwise means someone more extreme will replace them in the next election? Or in other words, is partisanship just a cynical tactic to maintain job security?

To put contemporary politics problems on the shoulders of Marx is a fucking joke dude. He's not a fucking vampire or werewolf, he isn't satan reaching across the ages preventing democracies from functioning.

I don't think anybody has anything to worry about when It comes to Marxism, right now in Europe the Communist parties are begging people to vote for neo-liberal ultra-capitalists.

This is one of the worst posts I've ever seen on this board, and I've been here for a pathetic 8 or 9 years.
You can't think.
