It seems to me, that by now he has no problem with an unintelligent society. <br /><br />"This lack of focus and adult responsibility is clearly evidence in Das Kapital. Not because of it advocating childish theories, but the writing is HORRIBLE and PAINFUL to read. "<br /><br />Yes, it is painful, like reading the proof of the modularity theorem, if you are not intelligent enough. Recognizing and resolving the inner paradoxes of the up-to-date existing labour theory of value (see, Smith and Ricardo, HORRIBLE and PAINFUL to read, sorry for that) is clearly not childish. Of course, the theory can as appear childish (or anything else), if you are not intelligent enough to grasp it (the right wing morons, for instance), but that doesn't matter so much - just another issue intelligent people must handle in an unintelligent society.<br /><br />....................../´¯/) <br />....................,/¯../ <br />.................../..../ <br />............./´¯/'...'/´¯¯`·¸ <br />........../'/.../..../......./¨¯\ <br />........('(...´...´.... ¯~/'...') <br />.........\.................'...../ <br />..........''...\.......... _.·´ <br />............\..............( <br />..............\.............\...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-23868534684041942132016-05-02T20:50:52.946-07:002016-05-02T20:50:52.946-07:00This is probably the best thing I've read on t...This is probably the best thing I've read on this topic.

Of course I hadn't sold myself into full blown emotional dept, I was just repeating things that were taught to me in school. The shaming, provided by a close relation, shocked me into actually thinking about my position, and *gasp* looking at the other side of the debate.<br /><br />I've lived in former communist countries, and have friends that are full blown marxists. My observation in each case is that they attempt to divorce effect from cause, and vice-versa. I personally call it a war on free agency, but that's because of some strongly held beliefs about deeper roots of the issue in human nature.<br /><br />In addition to shaming, I think we need to sneak things into our education system that teach real-world cause and effect relationships. American education as it exists tries to keep students isolated from reality for as long as possible, and it is only getting longer as prolong adolescence.CaptainObvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142934942529103062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-33311173150850253082014-02-06T09:05:35.997-08:002014-02-06T09:05:35.997-08:00BRAVO Aaron!

Where nothing changes and everyone is content in living in pig slop. It just flat out does not work for an industrial or post industrial society. I think at this point that is pretty well established. A trip to Cuba can quickly confirm this. Cuba may wholesale dump communism soon. <br />Lately I have been interested in Oliver Cromwell and Maximilian Robespierre.

It's not as in-depth as pure theory but it's through enough to give a solid idea of what Marx is about and what's wrong with Marxism.

After thousands of years of development of human civilization, a critical mass of people across all social classes finally internalized the most constructive of all societal values, the golden rule of the old testament. I am not making a theological argument, merely a practical one. Ideas are free and no religion has a monopoly on any of them. Once the golden rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", was internally adopted by society, then the value of the individual rose, representative government became an imperative, true freedom blossomed and wealth creation and the institutions that support it flourished. The pillaging of the population by rulers was frowned upon and ordinary people could actually benefit from their own hard work.<br /><br />Leftist philosophy pitches the replacement of the outwardly looking philosophy of freedom with the inwardly looking philosophy of self-absorption and selfishness camouflaged with the language of compassion. The reason that conservatives have such a hard time breaking the reality shell of the average leftist is that the left has systematically conquered the levers of culture and education. They just took down the the Boy Scouts and they are completing their cultural conquest by queerifying the military and elementary schools and pussifying the NFL.<br /><br />When politicians are chosen from a society that feels no shame about parasitically living off the efforts of others, then crony-capitalism becomes inevitable as does deceitful, win-by-any-means-necessary political tactics. The left's construction of psychological frameworks to allow the perpetrators of irresponsibility and injustice to feel good about themselves has been masterful. <br /><br />The real key to fighting the left has to be the re-establish of sane control over education and the other cultural and religious institutions co-opted by the left. Culture matters. Political economy follows culture. <br /><br />Call me a self-deceiver if you wish, but I think the evidence is there that the majority of Americans have still not bought into the insanity. Most Americans still reject the "hate-corporations" message of the socialist. Most women, that majority which have never taken a college women's study course, reject the man-fish-bicycle, career-is-the-only-thing-that-matters message of the professional feminist. Most men have no respect for sniveling, bed-wetting beta-males. The problem is that the sane have no political representation and are only now beginning to wake up and bellow their rage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-61091369189423235792014-02-05T02:16:15.139-08:002014-02-05T02:16:15.139-08:00I've found out these facts about Marx's bi...I've found out these facts about Marx's biography from the book "Intellectuals" by Paul Johnson. The recurring theme of all left's heroes is their grand social theories always come from their personal (failed) lives. Marx hatred of capitalism started from hating of moneylenders who chased him to collect his debts. Rousseau invented "the noble savage" trope as a rationalization why he, being a backwoods slob, is morally superior than french nobility and so on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-68225822647827198932014-02-04T17:49:45.249-08:002014-02-04T17:49:45.249-08:00I saw one of the demotivational posters somewhere ...I saw one of the demotivational posters somewhere once that said "Socialism: for people who are shit at everything."
