Marxism In America

[there4eyeM]

"Capitalism" grew from an evolving social and economic milieu more or less 'organically'. Essentially at the beginning of the Renaissance, Italian bankers developed various practices and financial instruments that form the basis of this system. It was not an intellectual creation or philosophical construct. It had huge advantages when it came to financing major works and markets. It had all the human flaws, of course, with avarice and simple perversity ever present.
Democracy itself had similar origins, though much earlier. It was not something worked out in advance, but rather a slowly gathered collection of ways to do things collectively and consensually. Its weaknesses were quickly exploited, with history recording the experiment's successes and failures.
"Socialism" grew from European intellectualism and, while this is very powerful, it is also purely 'artificial', ideas woven together from what thinkers liked to think could work. Some of it deals with necessary reform, restraint and organization that includes empathy for humanity. Problems arise where the resulting political power devolves into control by a few (or even fewer). As it does not refer to divine laws for sustenance, it ultimately comes face to face with the dilemma of deciding who or what is the source of 'better' and 'worse' (good and bad). When we see that it really comes down to what the people making the system work want to be true, its 'feet of clay' become revealed. There can be no timeless absolutes, which is a very poor replacement for "God's will" when it come to convincing humans of how they should direct themselves.
This is why all the above fails to serve mankind in the highest and best fashion. All of it is materialistic, and humans are the part of the universe that transcends (or, at least is capable of transcending) that miserable, lowly level. It may be a poor term to use, but humans have a "spiritual" quality that must be dealt with.

Hitler broke from the socialists in 1926. In 1933 he purged the German government of socialists, communists, Jews and democrats.

And fortified his brand of nationalized Socialism

 

[francoHFW]

Wrong.

it is the lefties and socioalists such as you who are brainwashed .

SOcialism is totalitarioan and always fails in all countries not just english speaking ones.

That is still communism, brainwashed one. France Italy Spain Scandinavia the Netherlands Germany, in other words all the non-English speaking modern countries have had socialist parties win and they have fair capitalism democracy and a great safety net. That is socialism. In brainwashed English-speaking countries, they can't call that socialism because of the brainwash that socialism is communism and vice versa, they have to call it Labour Social democracy democratic socialism, anything but socialism because we have the English savage capitalist brainwash.

which is not socialism at all.... So you believe the Nazis the communists and the G O P, the biggest liars about socialism ever.....

 

[Billy000]

And, our monetary system is broken.

Well it’s certainly flawed like any system sure. What’s the alternative? Let billionaires run it instead? Who else would if the government doesn’t? Talk about yikes.

Well, Bitcoin tried and failed because it was too volatile. Gold caused too much deflation. Fiat money can be manipulated to east inflationary trends. Maybe replace the Fed with AI?

There's no such thing as "Marxism". Karl believed that a good communist system (which we've never seen) is better that a capitalist system.

Since he was a philosopher, he wrote extensively on the subject. You'd need to be above Donald's reading level to comprehend his books.

So dumb..... That's the plan, make universities and colleges so expensive that people don't take intelligence courses that make them good citizens...just more GOP drones

Wrong

Socialism IS totalitarianism and forced on people.

The english speaking countries understand this which is why they reject they idea.

TYhey are smarter andbetter

It is the socialist fools like you who are the truly brainwashed ones

 

[Burgermeister]

There are always people who want to blame other people for their condition. There are a lot of them. Socialism/Marxism/Communism all play to that reality. America is for people who don't believe that. Or it used to be. Immigrants (legal) used to come here to kick ass and make their own success.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

A European writer once said that Marxism in America will not come from the proletariat. IMO, this is because the 'proletariat' in America is not stagnant in their position in society. They have some hope of improving their position. Therefore, in order to institute Marxism in America the push must come from the top down. That is, convincing the proletariat they are stuck and can never achieve anything without some kind of Marxist (collective) 'fighting' for them.

This is precisely what is happening now. Our Democrat representatives are constantly trying to convince US we are miserable while, at the same time, actually causing misery with their legislative powers.

[Hutch Starskey]

Your speech is being controlled.

Where?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Yes, let’s not forget affirmative action as well.

But not white supremacy of course.

 

[Leo123]

But not white supremacy of course.

Non issue today.
