I feel semi-overwhelmed lol, but I will do my best in responding when I have the chance. I also must say I'm genuinely appreciative of the viewpoints I've been given, thank you all for being so patient with me.

And then corporations, free to do whatever they wish with a weak central government, careen out of control and cause another market crash. I mean this causes hurt to the people at the bottom that are most vulnerable, imo. I understand the appeal of capitalism, but it causes immense damage to...

Lot of words but I hope I was able to respond to most. I apologize for it being so cluttered, pumped this out rather quick on a break : S

Not if it is viciously protected. Which given the state of today's oligarchy is something entirely possible. I hear many workers complaining about people on welfare yet they still work to survive. I grew up in a Republican household so = P. At any rate, same situation in Marxism. Except...

We will see how things pan out...at the moment I'm not entirely so optimistic, considering the trend of wealth being concentrated in the very highest elites of our society. But if such a world can exist where literally everyone can be an entrepreneur and the capitalist economy still has room...

I understand. I know that capitalism was once a lot worse, and that aristocracy and nobility was still a huge thing back in the day, there's a reason why Marxism came to be, and why Paine wrote this pamphlet concerning natural inheritance (which I also understand wasn't something written in...

I get you, it's why I drink it. Kind of has an artistic legacy to it. Just I tend to get a little literal/overly serious when it comes to Marxism lol.

A lot of professors at Pitt where I go for schooling are liberal. I have had a math and organic chemistry teacher openly criticize Trump in class for laughs lol...surprisingly, my politics professor was very non-partisan in class, though she openly identified as libertarian. From my experience...

Quite honestly that's the first time I've heard that theory. But I enjoy absinthe myself, it's the reason I know that stuff lol. Also Wikipedia helps to refresh my memory = P. Seriously I'm weird when it comes to drinking...I'll drink straight vermouth of all things. Nowhere. And no one...

An incorrect theory most likely...if you're talking about absinthe, it never was a hallucinogenic. It was touted as such by a French doctor named Valentine Magnan, who induced muscle spasms in a guinea pig by subjecting it to wormwood vapors as part of an experiment involving the deleterious...

I am. Perhaps I'll change as I get older and talk to more people on site and elsewhere. But just let me get my liberal phase out of me first :laugh:

Ideally? The sacrifice of a few privileged people's opulent lifestyles that get toned down to happily comfortable. In reality? Likely some form of conflict between proletariat and bourgeoisie that shakes the foundations of society to its core. It would be intellectually dishonest for me to...

I've provided the best examples I could in the post above. However Marxism is at its core an internationally-based movement, thus it cannot truly succeed unless the rest of the world follows suit. It's the reason why Stalinism failed so miserably. To give you a straight answer on the subject...

I sometimes thought of just keeping calm and carrying on in terms of what was going on around me. But I suppose I have incredibly thin skin in this regard. It's hard for me personally to ignore issues I have on the surface very little control over. I'll be honest, there are times I wish I...

He kindly notified me that he set me to ignore, so unfortunately he won't see me ask this. But is he always this far up his own ass?
