Hey man,
Sorry if this meme upset you. I read it and laughed so hard, and therefore had to share it.
Personally im actually pro-marxist. I do think western media/propoganda has purposely tried to spread anti-communist retric.
Im currently living in a formly communist country and although they were clearly repressed many people had better access to healthcare and education (obviously not all subjects) than most americans today.
People fail to appreciate the benefits of a shared society. With all that said, i do believe the 2 largest forms of communism (maoism and lennism) failed to correctly employ Marx ideals.
Hopefully someone has the guts to try again. Sweden or Australia are comming close. Afterall Marx always professed the importance of an evolutionary transition to communism.
communism is worker control of the means of production, welfare capitalism is not "comming close"
Kid probably doesn't even know of the Social-Democratic and Communist split of the Second International. So I ain't that surprised they conflate Marx with some holistic band aid to cure Capitalism, and not the guy that argued for starting revolutions after knowing and understanding how Capitalism works.
I think we are both interpreting the Communist Manifesto differently but i stand by my comment , there is no need to argue it.
I think being critical of any idea is important. Hell, Karl Marx was incredibly critical of socialist literature.
" there is no need to argue it."
"I think.bwing critical of any idea is important."
you contradicted yourself within a sentence.
Hypocrisy at its finest I say!
and if you are into political action of any time "normalisation" is an important action. People are far less likely to consider ideas that are outside of societies norms. The best way to enter the norms of a society is through repeated use and spread of the idea in some way or another. Memes like this move the normalisation process of anti-communism ahead, which ends up hurting any future movements.
Lenin already noted the scary trends even from his vantage point of history. Scary we must remind people of this trickery that the Ruling class carries out...
