Communism or Fascism. on 11:39 - Jun 8 by omarjack | Well as I said communism empathises on "equality" right? Right-wing fascism (or Nazism) empathises on the opposite of equality amongst the people..it's usually the "elite race" that grinds down the populations of the "inferior races" either killing them,stripping their fortunes or deporting them etc.. Communism is bad for everyone..Nazism is only good for the "the average person"..in the West, it's White straight people from Christian heritage. [Post edited 8 Jun 2018 11:40]

I’d struggle to discern empathetic sentiment anywhere in the philosophy that promoted the Dictatorship of the Proleteriat in its written doctrine and certainly nothing approaching it in practice. Marx boiled humankind down to this: a consumer/producer unit that requires 1,500 calories per day to function effectively. That, my friend, is the essential calculus of communism. It’s a vision of humanity with the divine spark extinguished. The drudge existence of life without horizon. | |

I tend to agree with his evaluation. | |

Das Kapital was published shortly after the end of the Great Famine. Starvation and famine were common in the era. Food was the priority, "freedom" in all its many forms a secondary luxury. You should know enough about the historical context that I can not put your misrepresentation down to ignorance. Intellectual dishonesty seems a much more likely explanation. | |

So, your contention is that Kapital was informed by, if not specifically framed around the Irish Famine? Have I got that right? | |

No, it was largely informed by extreme income inequality, of which famine was one facet. And an important driver of urban inequality as rural populations flocked to cities and the opportunity to be horrendously exploited as substantially slave workforces in factories . | |

It fascinates me that people utilise Marx as all-seeing hero, the sage, the Philosoper-King upon whom they pin their own, personal version of wishful thinking. Here was the man who saw it all and saw it first when they point at some undeniable 19th century historical iniquity. There were any number of contemporary witnesses who saw the slide and searched for a means of arrest yet Marx stands clear of the pack by dint of the events of October 1917 and the ceaseless promotion of his champions. Going back to the original point about empathy and Communism here’s old Karl himself giving his unvarnished take on proceedings: “The Irish famine of 1846 killed more than 1,000,000 people, but it killed poor devils only.” | |

Flowery fatuous bollocks. And you omit Marx's next sentence, and the underlying tone of sarcasm and irony. | |

About it not making the slightest difference to the wealth of the nation? Differing perspectives at play here, I suspect. Where you detect “sarcasm and irony” (not literary traits many have discerned in Marx, you’ll have to admit) I just see indifference. Carry on though. I’m enjoying your efforts to rehabilitate the old rogue. | |

Close the fist and you have a communist. Clearly the two are far more similar than people like to admit. | |

Fascism can be socialist or capitalist but is inwardly protective and outwardly aggressive whereas communism is socialist and inwardly oppressive and sometimes outwardly aggressive. It’s subtle. | |

Communism or Fascism. on 09:45 - Jun 8 by moonie | Human beings are not born equal . It's againgst basic human nature to expect pure communism to work. All great communist leaders were as avaricious, greedy and self centred as is possible to be . Their lives,their wealth evidence that I like order so a good dictator ,if it's possible, would do for me And a briilIant post ,Paul. Your writing is just fine [Post edited 8 Jun 2018 9:48]

Well I tend to agree..As some "people" like him are nothing but white-supremacist,literally fascist waste of space that truly don't deserve equality as they're completely ok with taking it away from others because they're a bit different. C*nt. [Post edited 8 Jun 2018 18:14]
