Marxism had nothing to do with the murders of millions, authoritarian totalitarian systems created the carnage. Only stupid people blame Marx, since Marxism as he envisioned it has NEVER existed except as a theory.
Before you call anyone stupid, you ought to have someone mentor you other than those you regularly echo.
"Marxism had nothing to do with the murders of millions..."
I see you're trying to burnish your creds for the award, the annual "Stupidest Poster of the Year."
Have no fear....you're a shoo-in.
Stop worrying.....everyone knows you're a moron.
Spoiler alert: do not....DO NOT....under punishment of education....peruse the following!
You've been warned.
"With the fall of the Soviet Union and communist governments in Eastern Europe, too many have the impression that
Marxism, the religion of communism, is dead. Hardly. It is alive and well in many countries still, such as North Korea, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, a gaggle of African countries, and in the minds of many South American political leaders. However, of most importance to the future of democracy, communism still pollutes the thinking of a vast multitude of Western academics and intellectuals.
.
..Marxist regimes murdered nearly 110 million people from 1917 to 1987.
The killing machine that is Marxism
Now...what did that moron say???
Oh...yeah...""Marxism had nothing to do with the murders of millions..."
You may simply be dishonest, but methinks you actually believe the crap you post. Maybe instead of parroting some obscure author you might actually try to read some real history, in terms of news articles, historical biographies, personal letters and the works of those such as Marx who you despise and yet do not understand.
BTW, starting a post by calling me stupid and a moron isn't a rebuttal nor does it even hint at some evidence you read my post or have ever considered Communism in theory, and how it comports to the practice of despots who ordered mass murder, those who ruled and rule the nations you (or the obscure author claimed) were Communists. Mass murder of people isn't based on an economic theory, it is savagery and accomplished by evil men who came to power by force, vote or accident of birth.
Simple minded people like you, and those who support Trump see a world beyond their comprehension and have never climbed even half way to the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Of course that is expected of narcissists, others fall prey to the hate and fear rhetoric of the demagogue. and those who write books revising history (a genre in which you have a good deal of familiarity).
MORE????
You need more, before you monogram "Moron" on all of your overalls????
Sure:
Marxist socialism is, in theory, what was being practiced by all of the countries that we call "
Communist". The objective of
Marxist socialism is to use the State to prepare society for
communism by communalizing all of the productive forces of the society, i.e. by making all of the means of production public property.

Communism includes a variety of schools of thought, which broadly include
Marxism,
anarchism(
anarchist communism), and the political ideologies grouped around both.

C'mon now......one more time!
Repeat this:
"Marxism had nothing to do with the murders of millions..."
Everyone needs a good laugh......and folks laughing at you wouldn't be a new experience, would it.
It would be a new experience, as I've always been able to lessen tensions by being self effacing and using wry humor. As a narcissist you have no clue as to how effective that can be, nor any understanding of why so many on this forum find you
at best to be a tedious partisan.
Do you not understand that Marx supported the down trodden, and in - for example - the Soviet System and China they have suffered under despotic rule? I can't believe you are so stupid as to not comprehend such an obvious issue, thus I must continue to believe you are a perfidious and dishonest partisan troll.
Gads, you're a dunce.
Please, dunce.....write this again:
"Marxism had nothing to do with the murders of millions..."
OK.....this is almost as good:
"Do you not understand that Marx supported the down trodden"
Even stupid people think you are a moron.
And now for reality:
"
Early socialists publically advocated genocide, in the 19th and 20th centuries. It first appeared in Marx's journal, Rheinishe Zeitung, in January of 1849. When the socialist class war happens, there will be primitive societies in Europe, two stages behind- not even capitalist yet- the Basques, the Bretons, the Scottish Highlanders, the Serbs, and others he calls
'racial trash,' and they will have to be destroyed because, being two stages behind in the class struggle, it will be impossible to bring them up to being revolutionary."
George Watson, Historian, Cambridge University.
a. "The classes and races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way...they must perish in the revolutionary holocaust." Karl Marx, People's Paper, April 16, 1856, Journal of the History of Idea, 1981
b. "
Before Marx, no other European thinker publicly advocated racial extermination. He was the first."
George Watson.
I love providing education to Liberals who have been deprived of same in government schools, and I don't mind shredding attempts by Liberals to rebut same...but the most fun is spotlighting your infirmities.
I used to be surprised at how truly stupid you Leftists are.....but you have disabused me of that.
Now I treat it as humor.
C'mon....one more time.....say it again: "Marxism had nothing to do with the murders of millions..."
