You can’t “debunk” Marxism by skimming the Wikipedia page. You can’t expound on your infantile “critique” from a position of total ignorance.

Every time a liberal “debunks” Marxism it is, without fail, not a single exception, the exact same shit that was discredited 150 years ago. A lot of “Marx didn’t consider”s that he’s written entire essays on. They can’t come up with literally anything new, spewing the same shit over and over again like a broken record.

Are liberals allergic to academic honesty?

And no I am not German I stole the screenshot.

    I’ve literally never ever met a person who vehemently opposed Marx and thought he was an idiot… that actually ever read Marx. I still remember when one person said things like “oh he was homeless, oh he cheated on his wife, he couldn’t provide for his daughters, why would you root for someone like that?” but… why would that matter?

    furthermore I know of someone who was a genuine full on nazi for more than a decade I think, and it all started falling apart for them when they actually genuinely read Marx, they had just never ever done it, only other people critiquing him, not what he actually said

      if anyone on the left has to root for Marx’s infidelity, do all capitalists have to root for Perdue pharma’s intent to fatally supply Oxy? Or slavery?

      The idea is absurd, and yet…

        I guess libertarians are lucky it’s not called Hayekism or something because then they’d be subject to a bunch of inane comments about adultery, infidelity, and “how can you support someone who married his cousin?”

        Though on second thought that would be kind of fun and funny.
