Adam Smith was a Marxist

[EdwardBaiamonte]

yes he sought and failed and thus 120 million human beings slowly starved to death.

Since Marx would not have recognized the Soviet or Chinese experiment as "communism", you're blaming him for crimes he played no part in creating. Maybe you're confusing Marx with Jacob Schiff?

too stupid as always. Mao and Stalin were dedicated Marxists who ran virtually identical experiments and that is hardly a coincidence. Plus, Marxists the world over including American Marxists recognized and spied for the Marxist experiments. I suppose East Germany Cambodia and Cuba are all coincidences too?

Great that the liberal dupe hitched his wagon to bloodiest thinking in human history?? Did you love the National Socialists too?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

yes it was very unethical for China to switch to capitalism and prevent another 60 million from slowly starving to death under liberalism!
liberalism is ethical for slowly starving 60 million to death. Its obvious!

Can't we all just get along here?
"What is Capitalism?

"Our understanding of capitalism is incredibly limited. Despite this being the prevailing world economic system, it is not taught until University in the United Kingdom. This means the vast majority of the population have never even had a structured, informed conversation around the mechanics and iterations of capitalism, let alone whether it is ethical or not. People, on the whole, don’t know what it is, what it does, what it means, where it came from or what it replaced."

Is there such a thing as ethical capitalism openDemocracy

totally 100% stupid and liberal of course. Capitalism is natural and based in natural law like our Constitution. If 20,000 years ago you tried to take meat from the man who risked his life to catch it he would object!

Is that simple enough for you?

"Stalinism usually denotes a style of a government, and an ideology. While Stalin claimed to be an adherent to the ideas of Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx, and hence purported that his policies were merely a style of government, critics say that many of his policies and beliefs were different or in direct opposition to those of Lenin and Marx.[8]

"Stalin's idea of Socialism in one country, and his turn to overt centralization were all in stark contradiction to the theories put forth by Lenin or Marx."

Capitalism has existed for barely 200 years, and during that time has murdered millions in its quest for domination. You really should stop apologizing for the most ruthless ideology of all time before we all come to the conclusion you're nothing but a worthless troll with too much time on her hands.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Capitalism has existed for barely 200 years,

capitalism is natural law and our Constitution is based on natural law.
If 20,000 years ago you tried to take meat for the man who killed it he would object. Do you understand?

if so the total idiot liberal would not be so afraid to name the best example of this. What does the liberal's fear teach us?

of course thats idiotic given Stalin was in the Communist party before 1907, American Communists supported him all the way, and his regime looked identical to Mao Castro Pol Pot East Germany etc etc Good for you. you hooked up the biggest killers in human history and in a free country a liberal is free to support even Stalin and Hitler.

 

[georgephillip]

hat paragraph doesn't describe any use of the scientific method by Karl Marx. All it does is state the opinion of people who call their brand of socialism "scientific."

What about these paragraphs?
"The argument that socialism—whether Marxist, Marxist–Leninist or its other forms—is a science is based on the concepts of dialectical materialism and historical materialism.[6]

"The most one could say is that socialism has historically been an idea that finds expression in various scientific disciplines such as mathematical economics, sociology, and other like areas of study.[citation needed] Socialism and Marxism are thus better described as theoretical frameworks for understanding and analyzing the social, economic and political world rather than the natural or physical world."

Explain how something which is NOT being followed in any country on the face of mother earth is responsible for millions of death?

Recheck you premises - I am certain that you are referring to fascism.

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Socialism and Marxism are thus better described as theoretical frameworks

yes and the theory could only be put into practice only by killing tens of millions so those who lived would accept having their natural freedom taken away by a Nazi marxist liberal central govt.
The Cubans are a good example. Now, they accept that boats are illegal therre, for their own good!!

 

[georgephillip]

if so the total idiot liberal would not be so afraid to name the best example of this. What does the liberal's fear teach us?

World War I.
World War II
Genocide of indigenous Americans.
All three are examples of capitalism's murderous history in spite of your hysterical harangues.

can the perfect idiot liberal explain how WW2 was caused by capitalism when it was primarily started by Germany and Japan who were not even capitalist? See why we say stupid?

Recheck you premises - I am certain that you are referring to fascism.

"Under fascism, the profit motive continues to be the primary motivation of contributors to the economy.[151] Along with support of private property and the profit motive, fascists also support the market economy.[153] Italian Fascism's position towards capitalism adjusted over time, the Italian Fascist movement in 1919 was radical and anti-capitalist, it moderated in the 1920s when it sought to consolidate power, it grew more radical again in the 1930s upon being entrenched in power and by 1940 again emphasized anti-capitalism."
Maybe fascism is the next stage of capitalism?

So you can not use the profit motiva as evidence that Capitalism existed.

The profit motive exists under fascism, socialism, and mercantilism.

Ideologies don't murder people. People do.

communism does since people often have to be murdered before they will give up their natural freedom.

capitalism is about pleasing the other person not killing him.

Exactly. It's just a question of how power is distributed. Via voluntary interaction, or coercion.

Exactly.

Capitalists do not have armies to invade countries and kill the locals.

Governments do.

Capitalists use the non-violent marketplace to sell their products and services.

Government bureaucrats like to shock and awe.
