Within this past year Marx and Engel´s work has enlightened me. It´s truly the greatest analyse of modern human relations in history. No liberal, realist or any other form of theory even comes close. At university i naturally learn the world through the liberal doctrine, the marxist doctrine on the other hand crushes liberal theory.

@@lepidoptera9337 the prediction of when communism would come into action is exactly that, a prediction. No man can predict the future or the events to come. A slight event could set off a landslide. However through their dialectics they said that capitalism cannot exist forever and its internal antagonisms will eventually bring it's demise. You clearly haven't read anything on Marxist theory because this is such a small inconvenient thing to base your entire statement that nothing they said was correct. Many modern economists use theories Marx and Engels came up with because it was correct however the teaching that Marx came up with it is often left out. I recommend. You do some actual reading on the topic before denouncing the entire thing. Also the rise of fascism is exactly within their dialectics. For every revolutionary movement there is a fascist movement that exists to try and stop it. A great line zizek has mentioned is that in every fascist regime you see the ruins of a potential revolution. Fascism doesn't rises by itself, it is a reaction to the end point of capitalist antagonisms

In dialectics, rather than lockean metaphysics, the mystery of superposition, a cat being both dead and alive and particles being in multiple states until measured, is no mystery at all. It's a natural fact of matter that is not either state. If used deeper in physics, dialectical materialism is likely to shine light on many quantum mysteries.

As usual, awesome. JP is def the go-to example for not understanding...well, most things. He's quite useful in that way though, a clear antithesis to illuminate actually understanding this stuff. The end is particularly great and I think the main point we have to continually highlight, that if we actually value the concept of "democracy", we cannot ever achieve it within a class structure that gives more power inherently to one class over the other. Helpful and illuminating empirical basis for those that may be skeptical of this claim, as weirdly the denial of class itself seems to be a pretty prevalent contention, probably since it's an easy way to circumvent considering any of this: scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf

You split hairs because he said "all of history" and not "all of human history" That doesn't make something "complete bullshit". Better to say that he should have refined his language subtly to specify human history. You even say exactly what he clearly meant in your takedown "we come to see constant tension between lower working classes and upper classes." Well what do you think he was trying to say if not what you said? He was largely correct. The opening line of the Communist Manifesto is "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." So I'm actually being quite generous to you by assuming your premise that Marx never said all of history was class struggle. Because he said exactly that in my reading of that line. But I'm sure you're down to split hairs and say well he said all "hitherto existing" society is the history of class struggles; meaning one could twist it up to mean all of history so far. But again to say that it's "complete bullshit" is a gross over exaggeration.

Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.... Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea -- in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders.
@vebdaklu
6 ай бұрын
It's not inadequacies of leaders that is the issue, it is more things. Look, humans are complicated beings, and countries full of them are tremendously more complicated - so to say a single idea led to ruin is not a very convincing argument. Somehow, when talking about socialist countries past or present, critics never seem to acknowledge they didn't exist in a bubble - they had other countries in the world actively working against their interest. The Cold War wasn't a natural phenomenon, it was a deliberate confrontation between USA and it's capitalist allies against the Soviet Union. Vietnam War wasn't a natural disaster, it was a deliberate invasion by US troops with the goal of destroying the vietnameese. The decades long economic blockades of Cuba and North Korea aren't default settings for the world, but a deliberate joint effort by the capitalist coalition to disrupt and empoverish those countries. All those things are fact, yet never seem to cross the minds or critics like you. Ask yourself why is that.

@epochphilosophy

There were an absolute ton of socialist uprisings that didn't turn into dictatorships: Chile, Paris, Cuba (I understand there is/was some heavy centralization, but I really don't think Cuba qualifies as such), etc. But, I do understand that many states following certain uprisings, certainly were. Or at least devolved into after the fact. I don't think this is a bad question at all, given the USSR and China take most of the visual narrative. I don't want to sound like the authority at all on this, because I'm not. But, if anyone claiming the answer to this isn't wildly complex, they're wrong. We can talk about centralization of power, etc. But, if there is one constant variable here, it's that international capital *always* demanded worker organization stay elsewhere. Look at situations with the U.S. and Cuba, the United States funding death squads in South America, trade relations within eastern Europe, etc. Capital wanted the piece of the resource pie, and western states constantly threatened the autonomy of "socialist" states everywhere. Thus, to many, necessitating a dictatorial stature regarding government and international relations. If you want my single biggest reason why, it's this.

Socialism cannot succeed in one country alone. If it is forced to exist in such a state, it will slowly degenerate back into capitalism.

You must also consider the historical context: What was Russia before the revolution? A centralised monarchy. What was Cuba before the revolution? A US-backed dictatorship. What was China before the civil war? A totalitarian empire. What was Yugoslavia before WWII? A kingdom. All the future socialist countries didn't come from functioning democracies, but from authoritarian regimes, so it isn't hard to imagine why they didn't manage to steer to far from that same course. Also, it is wild to expect socialism to radically change authoritarian countries when, in practice, capitalism didn't do a great job either - nearly all rich capitalist countries are STILL monarchies, and they have a strong class system in place to this day. So, on those grounds, it could be argued that socialism did a better job reforming the societies it took hold in, compared to capitalism. A small thing - women gained the right to vote pretty much overnight when socialist revolutions happened - in the capitalist countries it took centuries or decades (and as we know, now they are banning abortion rights, so it doesn't seem women rights are of much importance to capitalist societies). They clearly did some things better.

Without its moral argument Marxism would have little force. Marxist dialectical stages and its predictive power has not been born out to this point in history: advanced capitalist countries have not been the ones that have become communist. Marxists have changed the source of a proletariat from the working classes to identity groups based on moral beliefs and marginalization and not the means of production. On the Left, Fascism is now seen as the formation after late stage capitalism rather than socialism. Communist countries like China rely on behavior controls systems rather than control of the means of production. Control of the means of production does not create an awakened proletariat.

Besides, at any point in history you could make the same argument you made - if you existed, for example, in the post-revolution USA, you could say "slavery will never be abolished here", if you existed before the French revolution, you could say "royalty will never be held accountible for their actions"...Don't allow yourself to fall for the trap that the world as it is today will be frozen in time forever.

What about this quote? “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guildmaster and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, that each time ended, either in the revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.”

Class struggles always existed. That is the point.

Apparently the audiobook is like 2.5 hours, so thanks for the good summary. Gotta write an essay now.

In Plato: the republic. Socrates argues the good and bad of justice. wealth has attached itself to justice and that is where you lose the good, only the bad is left as a solution. Wealth being attached to justice is never true justice. The moral frame work of life is not incentivized by wealth.
