That’s where you’re wrong, the vast majority of socialists today are Marxists.

Participating in a violent overthrow of capitalism? ✅

Establishing an authoritarian socialist dictatorship that rules with an iron fist? ✅

Seizing land and property by force? ✅

Purging anybody and everybody that didn’t fall in line under the guise of being “anti-revolutionary”? ✅

Destroying the environment, cities, culture, and people to bring about the social climate necessary to bring about communism™? ✅

Committing genocides to get rid of “anti-revolutionary” groups? ✅

Pumping propaganda about Marxism? ✅

Ruling as the dictator of the the communist party that supposed to rule on the “behalf” of workers? ✅

He’s a Marxist and there’s literally nothing you could say to change that.

Many Marxists are damaged enough to actually believe that Marxism isn’t authoritarian when it inherently is. Authoritarianism ≠ fascism. Fascism is just one of many ideologies that are authoritarian, Marxism is among these ideologies.

Normal people want to reform the current system to make it better. Trash wants to dismantle with something that is worse

No it’s because wealth is unfairly divided.

It shouldn’t be, the work isn’t evenly divided. People get compensated per mutually agreed upon contracts on the value and contributions of their labor.

Workers should benefit from productivity increase

They do… If you want to argue for stronger worker rights and protections then I’m with you. But to argue that Marxism is some sort alternative is beyond stupid. Marxism is just as bad, if not worse, than Nazism. It’s a failed ideology in both theory and practice.

Also, the example in the original comment describes a dystopian death machine.

Humans aren’t vegan. There’s nothing wrong with meat farms.

A torture factory for cows to facilitate overproduction. We don’t need to eat that much meat nor consume that much milk.

Capitalism works on the basis of supply and demand. If there’s a demand, there will be production. If there isn’t, then the businesses in that industry will either slow protection or close. If that isn’t happening then that means there isn’t enough accountability in the government.

This is why the entire planet is going to shit…

We’re quite literally living in the golden age of humanity. The past 80 years human development has advanced so much in so many places to such a degree that it’s an anomaly in human history. The world will always face problems, but humans are very adaptable.

Yes. The rant was pretty positive of capitalism. The system is efficient, innovative, generates insane amounts of wealth, and most importantly it actually works unlike Marxism which has been an astounding failure at every turn both in theory and practice.

This is satire, right?

Pure capitalism is just an idea, a thought experiment if you will. Actual capitalism that’s to be implemented requires regulation and accountability. The government is one of the fingers of the invisible hand.

No there are a lot of Marxists on here that don’t comprehend that they’re scum of the earth, no different than nazis

So capitalism is bad because it’s extremely efficient?

It’s like the tankies who say Stalin was a fascist and not a Marxist, they’re, like you said, brain dead

What is this supposed to accomplish?
