No Truth in Socialism: Why the 'Crisis of Marxism' Matters

[Theowl32]

Silly thread because no one has ever tried Marxism, and it likely would work fine on local level, if anyone would ever try it.

Yet you never ever ever ever and I mean never speak out against it. NEVER you twit.

Because if people knew the truth they wouldn't vote for the socialist bullshit those guys are pushing.

What countries are prosperous under capitalism tempered with social democracy? Do you know?

Why do the Progressive Big Media, Democrats, elites, and Democratic Socialists feel duty-bound to create false realities? Why must they silence, obstruct, or distort any truthful voice before it can ever be heard? And why do they rush to judgment before the facts can be sorted out? The answer is simple: socialists and collectivists have no other choice. By hard experience, they learned over 100 years ago that their ideology is devoid of facts and reality. They had to sacrifice truth in order to hide the inevitable failures of socialism.
This realization occurred in the late 1890s, when a crisis of confidence began to reach a fever pitch. Before that, Marxian socialists were seen as the bright new kids on the political block. They were gaining acceptance and recognition. They thought they had it made. Socialists had long predicted capitalism's inevitable demise. In anticipation, they prepared to be capitalism's pallbearers, and they breathlessly awaited the birth of a glorious socialist-proletarian revolution.
But then something unexpected happened: socialism started to decompose. Marxist leaders and revisionists looked inward and noticed serious flaws in Marx's socioeconomic predictions. Across Europe, the truth of Marxian socialism was called into question. As the defects and failures started to pile up, Marxian socialists faced an ideology both false and unworkable. Instead of witnessing capitalism in its last stage of life, it was apparent that Marxism and socialism were dying on the vine.
Like a viral plague, these inconsistencies within Marxist theory swept across the entire socialist and Marxist landscape. It became known as the "crisis of Marxism," a term dubbed by Marxist theoreticians and practitioners themselves. This internal struggle revolved around the release of devastating economic data in the 1890s.
Obviously, this situation was a bitter pill to swallow. Socialist intellectuals had to face the fact that truth and scientific law could easily destroy their political agenda to reconstruct society. If Marxian socialism did not conform to reality, then they would have to rely on other methods to gain political power. They found it more effective and convenient to sidetrack the truth at every possible opportunity.
Ironically, the man who pointed out the many fatal flaws of socialism and communism was a rising star in the Marxist movement: Eduard Bernstein. He was an important Marxist political theorist and historian and a close friend of Friedrich Engels, working with him for almost ten years. Bernstein also personally collaborated with Marx, becoming not only a patron, but editor of Der Sozialdemokrat, the militant organ of the Social Democratic Party in Germany, from 1881 to 1890. Bernstein was being groomed as one of the major philosophical heirs of Marx and Engels.
A stickler for ethics, Bernstein embraced the idea that truth was a strong disinfectant against hypocrisy. He wanted to see successful results, not Marxist dogma. He waited until the passing of Marx in 1883 and Engels in 1895 before he launched an investigation of Marx's predictions.
~Snip~
Georges Sorel went on to make lies sound truthful in an effort to defend the fallacies and failures of Marxism, propping up the advocacy of labor violence in the streets, anti-democracy, autocratic socialism, and revised Marxism. His myth-making propaganda became an inspiration to Marxists, fascists, and a host of socialist elites. To Sorel, truth was no longer important; it was an impediment to progress and had to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
In reality, there is no truth in socialism, because it has never worked. Still smarting from the hard lessons of history, today's Marxist socialists have learned to swiftly bury truth and any truth-seekers, before they can become entombed themselves.


Comment:
Daily, Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats maintain the exact pattern described above. They lie about everything because everything they do is doomed to failure. They have reached a new level of failure because Trump and his success scared the shit out of them, so their agenda now is to simply do the opposite of what Trump has done in every endeavor. The opposite of success is failure and that is all the Democrats have to offer. Therefore, they can’t tell the truth about anything and the complicit media shakes their heads in agreement.
This is all borne out by the “Russian collusion”?

It's really funny how you completely ignored all the successes socialism and socialistic programs have been around the world. Look at countries that have universal healthcare. Around the globe all kinds of countries have universal healthcare free to it's citizens, but not in the USA. Mexico does not allow employers to terminate an employee for poor performance which is something the USA should consider doing. Under Russian employment law "generally, an employer may dismiss an employee only on grounds and in compliance with the procedures specified by the Labour Code. There is no possibility of termination at-will under the Labour Code" ...again something the USA should consider adopting. Look at the great successful socialist programs we have in the USA. Food Stamps, Unemployment benefits, Social Security, Section 8 housing, disability benefits. I myself have been on section 8 housing before, I been on food stamps before, I have been on unemployment before... excellent programs.

Of course America would be even better with even more Socialism. A universal basic income, housing as a human right, universal healthcare.

Socialism is brillant and has been a huge success around the globe.
