After the effects of captialism who here has read Marx?

Question

And thought the man was onto something? I'm not a communist, but beleive in cooperation over competition and that factories are greed at it's finest hour.
Some of what he says makes sense.
Darwin on the other hand is a vile racist, so were his followers.

Example: look at the dehumanizing effects of capitalism and darwinism.

Survival of the fittest in Social Darwinism creates racism paired with capitalism Look I just described my home.

By the way, some of Marxist stuff makes sense but I do not agree with communism and the way we know it. But capitalism out of control is no better if not WORSE Look at duponts poisoning of the Ohio river.

Answer 1

Yes Marx was on to something but some of his ideas were a little far fetched.

also Darwin's views have been twisted to be racist. he did not write the origin of species to relate to people. the man is talking about animals.

Answer 2

I read it, because it was on my Marxist econ. teachers reading list. I almost didn't get my security clearance because of it.

All of your arguments against capitalism & Darwin are rather lame. Neither are trying to call themselves angelic; they are attempting to explane the world.

When was the last time you saw teaching entitlements create wealth for the masses? Teaching entitlements just creates anger. Both from the entitled & the ones required to foot the bill. For the entitled they never can receive enough; after all they are ENTITLED. Those footing the bill never experience the joys of receiving a thank you. This is just as much dehumanizing if not more.

Answer 3

Darwinism and Social Darwinism, although using common precepts, are not the same thing. Social Darwinism was invented using the automatic mechanisms of evolution to explain higher freewill issues that man uses to control his fellow man. The two postulations are not the same.

Answer 4

I have read on Marx but what does darwinism have to do with it? Anyway, I do not believe in the Theory of Evolution! That's all I'm going to say for now.

Answer 5

What you have said about Darwinism is closed minded and ignorant, which surprises me because you seem to have some sense when it comes to the communist philosophy. The only problem is that people all have their own levels of corruption, and communism only magnifies this level of corruption in its leaders.

Answer 6

Yes, I hope the 5 year plan and the great purges of Stalin come to our great land
