What I learned in my first month and a half at college
-Karl Marx is god, and anything he says is scripture.
-"Dialogue is violence."
-It's "unfortunate" that there are so many Christians

I mean people telling Leon to "get smarter" when he sees the BS lies of Karl Marx and recognizes it for an evil death cult? Jesus Christ. What has happened to this planet?

I'll admit my activities weren't the most impressive out there, but I did volunteer at my library for a semester, and I had a research internship at a Chinese university over the summer. I think my essays were decent as well, but this discussion has gone way off track. The topic I intended this thread to be about was the stuff being taught at these far left universities, not my personal educational future.

Bottom line is Karl Marx is a hero. His ways will revolutionize a dying capitalist world. Socialism for all.

Make All Socialism happen. #MASH
Socialism Makes Dreams. #SMD

Lets talk about why Karl Marx was right. The working class is/was/always will be poor. This is unacceptable. A true capitalist system would allow people to pull up their boot straps and work and rise in the system.

We are hyenas.

We will never rise above the rich who want to keep is in eternal servitude and bondage. We must overthrow the Proletariat

The only people who would ever demonize socialism are people whos family stands to be part of levelling the playing field by forced econimic equality. Theyll always work to convince you that hard work pays off, theyll cautiously find false historical examples of bastardized versions of socialism to justify protecting their own familial standing.

Modern day thriving socialist countries:
China
Denmark
Finland
Netherlands
Canada
Sweden
Norway
Ireland
New Zealand
Belgium

"We will never rise above the rich"

Not with an attitude like that you won't.

"Modern day thriving socialist countries:
China"

China is far more capitalist than it is communist these days. The only reason they still call themselves communist is to provide a reason for the ruling party to stay in power.

I agree with Leon. China is also not a country I would want to equate socialism with. So I absolutely agree with Leon. :)

New Zealand is one of the most free market countries in the world. The only way in which we are socialist is that we give away our natural resources at way below market value. That's more corporate welfare than socialism though.

None of those countries are actually socialistic.

back to the thread topic

Societies that utilize Marxist ideals have been and still are death societies. Furthermore, even when on one is 'shot' for their opposition to various revolutions, they are made to “leap forward” with the result of death from starvation or deprivation. The numbers of dead people from communist regimes now is pushing towards 100 million. That is the reward for following Marx’s bankrupt and corrupt ideas.

CLINTON and the DNC paid for the fake Russia Dossier and probably broke the law. They also approved a deal to give US uranium to RUSSIA. Special Prosecutor will be appointed to investigate this corruption.

The Lion King is a statement about socialism
My gripe with the Lion King is that Scar is the hero. He overthrows a fucked up bourgoise and saves thousands of Hyenas living in poverty. After Simba flees Scar is totally written as converting the kingdom into a starving military dictatorship. This is absolutely a false representation of the amazing Utopia he envisioned. He said be prepared. I was ready. Why didnt his socialist revolution succeed?

Catalonia Referendum
Catalonia intended to hold a referendum on independence from Spain. The Spanish high court ruled it would be illegal. Catalonia decided to hold it anyway, and police are attacking people intending to cast votes.
