RE: Karl Marx Didn't Understand Human Nature And Communism is a Lie
The American Revolution was in 1776. The French Revolution was in 1789 (non-monarchal rule ended in serious bloodshed, military dictatorship, and fascism). Marx wrote his Communist manifesto in 1848. Most of Europe was still had monarchs at the time.
I think that Marx was trying to best the ideas of the American and French revolutions and he was really just a philosopher. His ideas weren't ground-truthed with reality while he was alive and his ideas have been used to kill tens of millions of people. He really did not get it right.
actually he saved tens of millions of lives
WOW!!! This video makes a few good points, but then conflates so many different concepts into singular concepts among a variety of other logical fallacies, I think you just gave me the topic of my next post....
Simply put. It was an untested hypothesis. An unlike the scientific method is supposed to do with experiments when the experiments occurred they should observe and if the hypothesis does not fit the observations of the hypothesis then the hypothesis is flawed and should be tossed, or revised to explain the observations, and tested.
Yet there is something that states a speculation, idea, hypothesis to explain things and expects you to believe it whether a test proves it is true or not. We call that religion.
How is Marx like Jesus? They were both philosophers whose ideas appealed to fanatics and were used to kill millions of people. Marxism is the current scourge. They claim they are secular and non-superstitious thus scientific in some way. In fact, their religion is based on nihilism, jealousy, and death.
How else is Marx like Jesus? Their philosophy seemed like a good idea during times when other people had to deal with the practicalities of governance. For Marx, the monarchies took care of the bad stuff. For Jesus, the Romans enforced the peace. Neither philosophy can be used to rule a country. If tried, we wind up with open borders, no accountability, and crazy corruption.
They are both overly simplistic and tap into emotion.
"People are hurting"
"We must help them"
"I can't do it myself so I must force others to help me help them"
I will then feel good about myself and my ability to force others.
That sounds really un-American.
Yep. It also doesn't fit the word FREE very well.
